Testimonial: At various times over the past 20 years, we have stayed at several beach front complexes in the Englewood, FL area. By far and away our favorite are Castaways Condo’s, particularly unit 15 E.
This unit is right on the beach with great ocean views that are virtually unobstructed from the living room and kitchen. This upfront and personal view of the ocean is so beautiful with it’s ever changing water colors depending on weather conditions and breath taking sunsets. The beach is accessible from unit 15E via a handicap ramp and a walk of about 20 yards. It is very relaxing to say the least.
Unit 15E is very well appointed and maintained with all appliances in good working order. Restaurants, stores and a morning coffee shop are within easy walking distance.
If you are truly looking for that special relaxing and restful get away in the sun with nearby conveniences, I would strong recommend unit 15 E of Castaways Condos.

Testimonial: Our stay in unit 15C could not have been better! We were right on the beach with great views up and down the beach shoreline. The unit had all the amenities we needed and the staff at Castaways were friendly.
The only difficulty was making ourselves leave at the end of our PERFECT stay! Julianne S. Sept. 2014

Testimonial: “My mother and I rented condo 22D for a week – me looking for a break from the Canadian winter and her looking into be closer the the beach (she lives in Placida) for a week. Leading up to our arrival we were kept well-informed, given lots of help planning our arrivals and departures, and felt very secure sharing our contact and financial information. The condo is furnished in traditional Florida style and the bedrooms and bathrooms were as a described (master bed and bath are spacious, second bed and bath are smaller). The deck was lovely and we enjoyed eating both breakfast and dinner outside every day. When local friends can to visit, there was more than enough space to entertain. The deck overlooked the pool and toward the beach and setting sun, so we had beautiful views to end our day. The area surrounding the condo is one of its best features – there is a short walkway to the AMAZING Englewood Beach and beach yoga is hosted only steps away most days. The ocean is lovely and each morning the fishermen come out to take advantage of the water. There are often dolphins swimming just offshore and the combination of sand, surf and sun is refreshing. We tried to do something new every day – paddle boarded, jet skiied, kayaked and biked – and the sights were amazing. I would recommend this property to families with children and friends traveling as a group”. Emma R. – June 2014

Testimonial: If beautiful scenery with sunny weather, tons of shells to collect, amazing sunsets and friendly people, along with fantastic accomodations is what your idea of a great vacation is, then this is the place. March 2014 will be my third visit and I wish I could stay every year. Maybe when I retire..(?) I’ve stayed in 24E, 23D and will be in 23D again. Home away from home. Everything is nearby, grocery stores, restaurants, gift shops, banks etc…And lots to do if you don’t want to relax on the beach… Manager Kim is also excellent to deal with. Very professional and super friendly!
See you soon Englewood! Tracey L. 1/9/2014

Testimonial: We cannot say enough about this great location. We stayed in 22D, right up front and overlooking the pool. Still, no road noise and convenient to everything. The unit was clean, VERY nice without being so luxurious that you felt you could not touch anything. Everything worked, was fully supplied and easy to find and use. The beach is SO close and easy to get to and clean and gorgeous. Turtle nests everywhere, saw dolphins in the water and collected dozens of shark teeth. Played in the surf, walked the beach, loed it all. Visited Venice, Ft. Myers, Sanibel, still like this beach the most. Three really good and convenient places to eat and drink, a fun local theater group let us sit in on a dress rehearsal for their upcoming production. Went to Rum Bay for lunch, GREAT trip. And all of this the same week as a tropical storm! WE WILL be back!

Testimonial: My boyfriend and I stayed in 15C while traveling throughout Florida. We enjoyed the visit so much that we actually extended our stay! Staying at Castaways was really the highlight of our trip. The unit provided all the amenities we were seeking and more. We made great use of all the amenities. It felt like home to us because we were really provided with everything we could’ve needed.
One of the best assets of particularly unit 15C, were the views. They have very large windows that have amazing views of the ocean from the living room and kitchen area. This unit has the most convenient access to the beach as well. We went fishing everyday while we watched the sunset. It was very helpful to have the unit right on the ocean in case you needed to head back in for something or use the bathroom.
The sea life you see here is unbelievable. We saw dolphins swimming freely, snails, sea turtles, and while fishing we caught a baby shark and some cat fish. We found much enjoyment walking along the beach collecting sharks teeth.
Another highlight of this stay was the island overall. The locals as well as the visitors were all very friendly. There was a very relaxing and fun vibe here. We ate great food and enjoyed some of the live music. This unit also allowed for us to walk to nearly all of the nearby restaurants & shops.
My boyfriend and I cannot wait to return! We had fun reading the journal there of other peoples visits. It revealed there were many other happy visitors as well. Looking forward to our next stay at Castaways this fall. Thank you! Danielle V.June 2013
