Waterfront Home on Forked Creek by Manasota Key

Welcome to Fairview Cottage, our recently refinished 2 bedroom 2 bathroom waterfront house on Forked Creek in North Englewood, Florida. This is a 1,100 sq. ft. single family home on a natural deep water creek with a boat dock. Fairview Cottage is only 2.5 miles from Manasota Key Beach.

This is old Florida living like no other, reasonably priced and available as a turn key vacation rental. The house is fully furnished, and equipped with everything you need to have a nice vacation, including all linens, a fully functional kitchen, high speed internet and TV, washer and dryer on site, charcoal grill, central air, as well as storage for your kayaks or bicycles.

While this is a 2 bathroom home, it's important to note the 2nd bathroom is not connected to the main living space, and you need to travel out the front door, through the car port, to the laundry room area to access the second bath. Also there is no air conditioning in the 2nd bathroom.

This house is a boater's dream on sailboat water, with no bridges to Stump Pass. The dock has been recently redone with trex decking and a fish cleaning station.

This house is clean and bright, and has been tastefully refinished to maximize the beautiful waterfront views. Catch a fish in your own back yard, or watch birds, dolphins, and manatees from the comfort of the "Florida Room" or the screened lanai.

The house is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, in a great neighborhood with no through traffic. The only houses on both sides of this street are on the water, so nice neighbors up and down the street.

Look no further than Fairview Cottage for your next waterfront old Florida vacation. I've spent some time scouring the internet, and you will not find a nicer home on the water at this price.

No smoking.
We will consider well-behaved dogs.

Fairview Cottage is:
2.5 miles away from Manasota Beach
4 miles from Downtown Englewood
8 miles to Stump Pass (by Boat)
9 miles from Downtown Venice
46 minutes (42 miles) from the Punta Gorda Airport
48 minutes (36 miles) from the Sarasota Airport
1 hour 25 minutes (84 miles) from the Tampa Airport

Awesome Place
Beds awesome, showers awesome, very clean, had everything for a great beach day and shark tooth hunting equipment. Great location, close to everything and beaches. Great view of the canal, and very peaceful sitting in lanai for breakfasts. Host responded to all our requests in a very timely manner and went above and beyond for us. Can’t say enough great things about this place - will definitely rent again when I return. Thanks so much for a perfect place for our week long stay.

Great little place
As first time Vrbo users we were impressed with the accuracy and easy handling of our stay. Owners thought of everything. Even a bike rack to lock our bikes to. We had a terrific time biking the Venetian Waterfront and the Legacy trail.

Relaxing trip
Enjoyed our stay. Location was good (north Englewood). Home was set up nicely. My husband enjoyed having a separate space to work. Spent a lot of time on the lanai. Unfortunately, I did not catch many fish off the dock, but I sure tried!

We were contacted by the owner and told that we could check in early as the home was ready. The home is exactly as described and very warm and comfortable. All you need for your stay here is provided. We were only there for 5 nights but would return. Thank you!
