ROTONDA WEST - Our home is in the newer Pine Valley division of 'the circle', this is a peaceful residential deed restricted community with bird sanctuaries and preserves built to a unique design copying the points of the compass with canals and natural habitats runnung throughout. At its heart is a 30 acre Community Park with free tennis courts, playground and bike trails through the nature reserve. Within 'the circle' there is also the large and beautiful Broadmoor park with lakes, walking trails, a picnic area and rest rooms. There is abundant wildlife on Rotonda including bobcats, tortoises, armadillos, alligators, eagles and so much more.
Golf enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with 5 golf courses on Rotonda alone, the nearest is just 5 minutes away and the house backs onto the fairway of the newest course.
As this is a residential Deed Restricted community it does have rules, for example relating to noise disturbance especially after 10pm, parking being restricted to the property driveway, dogs being leashed when out and not disturbing wildlife. more information can be found on the Rotonda West HOA website or in their offices at 646 Rotonda Circle.
This special area is only a few minutes drive from barrier islands and miles of quiet gulf coast beaches.
Fishing is wonderfully varied, from the local canals, lakes and creeks to fishing from the many public beach and river piers. You can also hire a boat or book a backwater or sport fishing trip, this area is known for its world class Tarpon fishing.
Dining and shopping possibilities are plentiful including local supermarkets and restaurants only five minutes drive away. There are malls and major restaurant chains at Port Charlotte 15-20 minutes away and a choice of big outlet malls and up market shopping around an hour and a half away.
Rotonda is approximately one hours easy drive from the cultural city of Sarasota, one and a half from Tampa and Busch Gardens and two and a half hours from Orlando for Disney and the other parks.
This home was clean and the description is accurate. We have been staying in this area for 20+ years and the home had almost everything we needed and we like the location. The weather was very rainy which was unfortunate for us, but that is out of everyone’s control. We were glad we paid for the pool/spa heat. The park in the community is great for tennis and pickleball. We met some others to play a few games. We brought our own rackets. There are many great restaurants within a 15 min drive as well as several grocery stores. On sunny days we went to Boca Grande for the beach. It is our favourite one in the area. Many houses in this area have games rooms in the garage and that is the one thing I would suggest adding to this one. Ping pong and/or a pool table would be great. This property allowed us to bring our dog….we are very grateful for that. It is difficult to find nice homes that we can bring her to. The TVs are a bit of a challenge to figure out and some clear instructions would be helpful. We were told by the property manager when we arrived that there was supposed to be a laminated card for pool/Spa instructions but there was nothing. Luckily, my husband is a pool and spa service technician, so he was able to figure it out.The property manager was not terribly helpful in this regard and we would have never figured this system out if my husband didn’t know how to trouble shoot. Many thanks for allowing us to stay. Julie and Steve, Ontario, Canada
Very nice villa - clean, tidy and well furnished. Lovely heated pool with privacy which is what we like. Would highly recommend.
We've stayed in the Rotonda development several times. This home was nicely located - facing southwest for maximum sun and very quiet backing on to the golf course. We enjoyed a few visits from the local rabbit, tortoise and bobcat. Lots of birdlife as well. A large heron perched on top of the lanai for a few minutes one morning. Great stay!
Great communication with owners. The home was well stocked and clean.
The house was amazing! It’s close to local beaches but with the pool you don’t really have to leave. We would definitely stay again.
Great villa owners were fantastic great communication. Location is amazing second time at this Villa. The wildlife is vast and villa has everything you need.
Everything was perfect
Lovely villa in good area, really enjoyed our stay
Had a great stay in the house, was nicely decorated with plenty of things supplied to make the stay even better including beach needs and outdoor activities!. My 2 fur babies were allowed to join us which is always a nice option to offer and very much so appreciated! I left a cargo cover there in the garage, i reached out and the property mangers were kind enough to ship it back to me! Anytime I had questions or concerns they were quick to respond and great communication from home owner and property management. Very dark outside in the neighborhood, very little street lights. I suggest a flash light for any walking with pets in the evenings (Seen snakes on the sidewalk and garden area by front door) My only suggestion would be to turn the air down prior to guest coming to stay (was 80 degrees upon arrival and took till mid afternoon second day to reach 74 in the house) the ac unit seems a bit small for the size of the house and the ceilings are very high making cool down even longer than typical. Additional lighting outside would be a great idea as well, only 1 side of the light worked on the porch/ sitting area outside by the pool and the light in the pool was the only lights working hottub lights did not. Thanks for sharing your home with us and allowing us to make memories that'll last forever.
This home is great, well equipped, and the owners and management are very responsive. Would definitely rent again!
The place is beautiful, well-equipped, and roomy. The kitchen has everything, even a slow cooker! There’s a real coffee pot that uses regular filters and plenty of coffee cups. The dish washer has a wheel on the bottom rack that kept coming off, but my husband just kept putting it back on. It worked great. All of the appliances worked great. The living room and dining room had plenty of space. The bedrooms are big, the bathrooms are great. They need some kind of shelving in the shower stalls. Our party consisted of my husband and me, my two adult daughters and a son-in-law. No kids with us. We wanted a nice house in a quiet neighborhood not too far from the beach. It took about 30 minutes to get to the beach. We had a wonderful time. Loved the house!
The house was perfect for our family. Very beautiful and clean! Large spacious rooms gave us plenty of space to enjoy our vacation with our older children. Lots of fun by the pool! Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
We had a lovely time in this well appointed and equipped house! Property was as described and clean on arrival. Great weather so we were able to enjoy the pool and bikes. The bikes made it easy to get out and tour the neighborhood. We would recommend this house to our friends and hope to return soon.
Great stay! The host is wonderful! The only problem is we never want to leave! Thanks again for an awesome vacation! Kara from Ohio. Multiple stay’s at this home.
