About Deborah Long

Sea Spray was built as a Gulf-front getaway by two close families who still own it today. The cottage has been enjoyed by their children, grandchildren and now great-grandchildren. Each side of the duplex has identical mirror-image floor plans with twin beds that can be made into a king and sofa(s) and/or inflatable beds for extra guests up to a maximum capacity of four people per side.

We are proud to share our little piece of heaven with guests during the temperate Florida winters. In the past we have had the good fortune of renting repeatedly to returning seasonal customers, the longest for over nine years. We know they held Sea Spray as a home away from home close to their hearts. Now could be your opportunity to find that perfect retreat from the cold winter months of the North that you will revisit time and again.

Debbie Long, one of the granddaughters, now helps coordinate renting out the units from Richmond, Virginia. Other family members located close by in Sarasota and Charlotte Counties are available to assist guests needs throughout their visit.

Why Deborah Long chose Englewood Beach

The owners lived in nearby Punta Gorda with their children and were looking for a way to enjoy the simpler life during the weekend when they purchased Sea Spray. Englewood Beach was, and remains, a quiet residential area with pristine beach full of wildlife. It was an ideal sanctuary from daily life. Their children, children's children, and now great grandchildren have all enjoyed playing in the calm, refreshing Gulf waters, collecting sharks teeth and shells, and fishing while the adults caught up under the shaded trees. The trees were planted soon after the property was purchased and now are the unique feature that distinguishes Sea Spray from neighbors.

What makes this studio unique

We are located directly on Englewood Beach at 1110 Shoreview Drive. Only two studio units occupy this site, giving you more privacy than nearby properties. There is no beach easement on Sea Spray, which means those in surrounding residences will not be crossing your yard to access the beach. (Some places advertise they are 100 yards from the beach, but their guests must use a public easement, which may not be located “just across the street.”)

Despite its location directly on a private beach, it is hard to see Sea Spray from the Gulf of Mexico because it boasts five large trees that shade its deck. I'll be honest, it makes taking pictures of the property's outside very difficult, but the trees enhance the actual experience of staying at Sea Spray tremendously! You have the luxury of viewing the ocean from the kitchen, bed, and sitting area, and your deck will be shaded.

My wife and I were looking for a quiet place, with a private beach, to do as much or as little as we wanted to do. This rental provides that in spades. A huge plus is that this property is not managed by absentee owners. If we had any questions or special requests the owners were readily available to help. Fishing, good dining, sea-shelling, jet skiing, para-sailing, etc.. were all within a short distance if needed. For a couple seeking some private time this rental is perfect.

This property is recommended for any one who wants to be in a quiet area or just be romantic. We had our vacation at Sea Spray and we will rent again and send referrals.The property is clean and well equipped as your own place. The only negative is no clothes dryer but with the heat, clothesline is accessible.
Just bring your food and yourselves. Don't forget the suntan lotion and swimming attire. It is a relaxing and worth every penny.
