Bright and open home with southern exposure in Rotonda West. A tropical getaway!

The home is beautiful. Rotonda West has many lovely homes available for rent, and I would recommend that anyone select a house other than this one. The owner was initially nice and very communicative by text. However, after checking out, the owner threatened to keep portions of the deposit and accused me of many untrue things based on her property manager’s assumptions. She accused me of having more people at the home than indicated in my reservation; she assumed I traveled with a husband (I never told her that); she scolded me for using all 3 bedrooms (but I rented a 3 bedroom home); she accused me of leaving the home a mess (despite me only leaving a few sheets unlaundered and despite her not having any photos of the “mess”); she accused me of scratching a sink (which she said was not discovered by her property manager or cleaning crew, but subsequent guests); and she confronted me about her property manager’s report of the number of cars parked at the house (1 in the garage and 2 in the driveway). After defending myself and offering explanations that I did not have to provide, the property owner backed down and said that since she lives afar, she had to rely on her property manager. There isn’t a lot of diversity in the area. We are a black family. The scrutiny that we endured felt like our visit was not welcomed and we were being watched. I have stayed at other vacation rentals without issue. There are many options in Rotonda West. Stay someplace else.

Our recent stay at Sunnyside in Rotonda was absolutely fantastic. We’re a family of five and had an amazing time from start to finish. The house was immaculate, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool and outdoor area including tv, music speaker, chars, tables, fire pit and bbq was also fantastic and really made the holiday special for our kids. Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy throughout. Emily, the host, was wonderful and contacted us regularly to check that we were okay, which was really appreciated.The large garage with bikes, fishing rods, deck chairs, and a cool box was an added bonus and made our stay even better. Overall, an amazing stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

This home was above and beyond what we expected.The pool and lanai were amazing. The home was well furnished with every kitchen item you need, beach towels, nice sheets, 5 lounge chairs, outdoor table and comfy furniture set. Emily was wonderful. She responded back to us quickly with detailed messages. We hope to stay there again soon.

The house was very clean and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation.

From initial enquiry to check out the communication with the owner Emily was first class. The villa was spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need including top quality appliances. Lovely beaches within 10 miles although the pool area was so perfect it was difficult to prise ourselves away. Lots to do in the area & the bikes in the villa were used a few times. Really enjoyed our stay & did not want to come home.

House was clean and quiet neighborhood. The owner text ed quite a bit example what time did you get there, take out the garbage let the pool guy in make sure you do the laundry (sheets and towels) make sure dishes are in the dishwasher clean what time will you depart from the property ? Too many texts !

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was clean and very welcoming. I especially loved the extras this property had, luggage racks in all of the closets and plenty of hangers. The lanai was a great place to hang out by the pool or to sit and watch tv in the evenings. The communication with the owner was great! If we weren't building our own house in Rotonda West, I would stay here again!

The pool was the cleanest we’ve ever had of all our rentals. There was plenty equipment for kitchen use, more than most. It was a comfortable house inside and out.The area was quiet except for some construction which was far enough away that it wasn’t too bothersome. It was just the kind of house we would go back to.

Our family stayed here over spring break. From the time we booked, through our stay, and after we checked out, Emily, the host, was amazing! She has a genuine care for her guests and her home. The home was very clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable week stay. The house was well-stocked with everything from plush bath towels to beach chairs. We spent most of our time in the heated pool and hanging out on the lanai. It was a short drive to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Thanks Emily for everything! We hope to be back!

We have vacationed in the central gulf coast area for 20+ years and have stayed in 20+ homes. This house was perfect for our family of 3 and older parents. Location to Mansota Key beaches and Boca Grande within 20 minutes was awesome. House was super clean, host was on top of all of our needs. Never have we had a host so intent on making every minute of our stay enjoyable. Plenty of good shopping, restaurants in the area. Even less than 6 months after Hurricane Ian the area was alive and open. Pool was HUGE and warm. The lanai area had ample seating for eating and/or relaxing by the pool. We will be back again. We felt at home the whole stay. Safe, quiet and clean. Thank you!

very nice and comfortable
