About this property

Welcome to Seafarer Beach Resort

Seafarer Beach Resort is a laid-back, adults-only property situated on a palm-fringed plot along the Gulf of Mexico in Englewood, Florida. Offering casual studios and apartments, the resort provides direct access to a private beach just steps away.

The accommodations feature kitchens in all rooms, allowing for convenient self-catering, complemented by amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free parking, air conditioning, and a heated outdoor pool. It is a smoke-free property with golf nearby, though it does not offer a restaurant, fitness center, or airport shuttle. Pet lovers should note that pets are not permitted on the premises. Check-in begins at 3 PM, with check-out at 11 AM.

Guest reviews highlight the clean and comfortable rooms, attentive staff, and the overall ambiance of relaxation. Many visitors value the easy beach access and the opportunity for peaceful walks, especially to nearby spots like Caspersen Beach and Manasota Key Beach, which are popular for their natural beauty and recreational offerings. However, the resort caters best to those looking for a low-key experience rather than a luxurious or highly serviced environment.

With a solid rating of 4.6 based on over 90 reviews, Seafarer Beach Resort is suitable for travelers interested in a simple, cozy beachside stay. Its location offers a quieter alternative to larger hotels, appealing to guests who prioritize relaxation and direct Gulf access over extensive on-site amenities.

We love the Seafarer! It’s the perfect retreat. We come from the Tampa Bay area, this is our second time down here this summer. The rooms are clean, well appointed, totally updated, plus you’re right on the beach! You’re looking for a quick getaway to enjoy some peace and quiet while you hunt for sharks teeth. The Seafarer is the place to be!

My girlfriend and I love this place. We were on vacation in Port Charlotte Florida and we were calling our friends. Everyone was busy. I looked at her and said let's just run away. Let's find something on the beach. So we drove and found this little cute place. The staff is super nice. We just loved it there. So now a year later we are going back. It's not for people who want ritzy hotel rooms. This resort is comfy, cozy, and relax. True Florida style all the way!!!

This place is great! Comfortable housekeeping units right on the beach! I loved relaxing on the porch of our unit overlooking the beach! Wonderful walks on the beach and through the state park right next door! The staff was very attentive and helpful. The heated pool was a great way to relax and get some exercise. The scenery is fabulous and the sunsets are breathtaking! Great quiet spot to relax, but it is only a few minutes drive to stores, restaurants and night life!

This place was magnificent! The cottage we stayed in was perfect and had all the essential things we needed for our weekend getaway. The best part is the beautiful view and how close you are to the ocean. The heated pool was wonderful! Felt like bath water. The beach access was great and gave beautiful views!! This is much better than a hotel or condo where you’re fighting for parking spaces or listening to lots of noise. We will definitely be back!

What a great find. We arrived late on Friday. Tonya had everything set up for us! Great location, right on the gulf. Cute little 1 bedroom. Full kitchen. The pool was excellent for relaxing after a full day of shark tooth hunting. We will stay here again!
