The home and private beach property were absolutely gorgeous! We really enjoyed soaking in the sun on the beach during the day and relaxing by the fire pit on the chilly December nights. Cynthia was incredibly responsive to all of my questions, and we hope to return to this beautiful place again soon!

We had a magical time with our friends at Castadiva. The house is beautiful and equipped with everything we needed to make memories to last us forever. The beds are comfortable, the towels are luxurious and the appliances and gas BBQ are top notch. We really loved the private beach access where we spent days hunting for shark teeth and were lucky enough to be visited by a pod of dolphins twice ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! Cindy is the MOST amazing Super Host and went the extra mile to make sure our stay went smoothly and we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to visit beautiful Castadiva again.

According to the description we were expecting a nice ocean view - disappointed to see only the back of houses in front of the property. Quite a hike to the beach, would be tough for anyone with mobility issues. Bedroom 3 is the laundry room & small bed. Microwave didn’t work. Could use more cookware. Host was very attentive & house clean. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms are nice.

The host is amazing. She goes above and beyond, very attentive. The house is not beach front. There are two large, fenced homes under construction blocking ocean. View from the porch is those homes and workers so we kept shades closed. We were disappointed to find the private beach was down the road. The fire pit wasn't in the yard, it's at the beach. Host manages AC and guests must text her to have temp adjusted. The house is nicely decorated. Ice maker and microwave wouldn't work. No ROKU remotes for TVs. Very nice host, disappointing views.

We had an amazing stay at Cynthia’s property in Englewood. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and exactly what we were hoping for the perfect place to relax, enjoy the beach, and take in those incredible sunsets.The property was comfortable, well cared for, and had everything we needed for a great vacation. What really stood out, though, was Cynthia herself. She was thoughtful, kind, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Her communication made us feel appreciated as guests, and you can tell she truly cares about the people who stay there.We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend Cynthia’s place to anyone looking for a relaxing Florida getaway. Five stars all the way.

The property listing: WOW! THE ULTIMATE LUXURY BEACH FRONT HOME with FULL PRIVATE GULF FRONT BEACH!This is not a beach front home; there is literally a street and other homes between this residence and actual beach / water. The “private” gulf front beach is not a beach, it is a dirt lot (which had actual concrete blocks/debris in it), it is also surrounded by other homes… so ZERO privacy. There is no beach access from this lot unless you want to traverse over a rock barrier wall…. And if you use the neighbor’s “private” stairs to get to the water, there is zero beach (sand) to even put a chair on to sit and enjoy the sun. You literally have to pack all your items up and drive down the road to enjoy an actual beach with sand beneath your feet. The home is lovely, the communication was on point. It should be noted that there are multiple homes under construction surrounding this home. Literally right outside the front door is banging, hammering, loud music. Walking to explore the beach / private beach, both my teenage daughters were stared at the entire walk by construction workers. This is a nice home, this is a fine location. It is NOT beach front… and it does NOT have a private beach. I will do my very best to seek a refund for the days I was not there, My family and I left after being there for about 2 hours.
