Englewood is a friendly city, where it is safe to walk anywhere. It is 70 miles south of Tampa and semi tropical, with temperatures averaging 10 degrees warmer. There are 9 1/2 miles of beautiful beaches, within walking distance, bicycle paths, secluded coves and the crystal clear turquoise waters of Boca Grande. The favorite golfing destination of President Bush.
Leyside Estate is in the center of Englewood, walking distance to shopping plazas, inexpensive restaurants, churches and clubs. There's lots of cool stuff for kids to do when they visit, like fishing, crabbing, exploring, mini golf, go carts, batting cages and searching for star fish and prehistoric shark’s teeth.
With 7 suites on an acre of waterfront, at Leyside you will meet other guests and make new friends. For those that enjoy their privacy there are quiet areas. You are welcome to pick the oranges and grapefruits from our very own fruit trees and enjoy the endless assortment of flowers, palm trees and cacti
We supply chaise lounges for sunning on 100' of waterfront lawn. Lemon Bay is a bird sanctuary, with lots of beautiful water birds. Enjoy the romantic night lights in the covered Gazebo on the waterfront. See manatee up close and the antics of dolphins.

One can't overlook the value of our 26' Swimming Pool over-looking the water.
