Rotonda West, Florida
A lovely villa in a wonderful location, overlooking a wildlife lake and with views towards one of the many local golf courses - in fact it would be difficult to find another villa with a comparable idyllic setting. The open Florida style villa built in 2007 overlooks the pool and superb, peaceful and quiet situation. From the pool at the rear of the villa the lawn slopes down to the lake. Within view is the 5th green of Long Marsh golf course, but not too close to disturb the peace or seclusion.
The wide variety of wildlife including green, little blue and great blue herons, egrets and anhingas, the sight of a bald eagle soaring overhead and the sound or sighting of a gator as the sun sets is the making of memories, something very special. The entire area of Rotonda West is a designated bird sanctuary.
The Villa: Built in 2007, the home has been furnished with great care to offer visitors a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. The villa comprises a spacious and airy ‘Great Room’ with cathedral ceiling and a cozy corner with swivel rockers where board games and reading matter can be found. The kitchen is well equipped for those who enjoy cooking, with breakfast bar and swivel stools allowing integration with the living area. A breakfast nook with slate table and wooden chairs overlooks the pool and terrace. There are three bedrooms (one king, one queen and one fitted with twin beds), master bathroom with a large walk-in shower and separate (his and her) marble vanity units and a second full bathroom with bath and shower. CABLE TV (APPROX 70 CHANNELS) is provided in the Great Room (40inch),master bedroom and the queen bedroom; WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESS is also provided.
Private Pool, Lanai & More: Sliding glass patio doors give access to the lanai where a large glass topped patio table and chairs are located for alfresco dining; loungers are available for guests to use. There is a GAS BBQ on the terrace to complete the outdoor living experience (enclosed in the lanai). The pool is equipped with removable SAFETY FENCE that can be installed to prevent access by non-swimmers, affording peace of mind for parents with young children. FIVE BICYCLES for the use of guests and a PING PONG TABLE for that fun-filled evening can be found in the garage (fitted with remote control door opener). There are also 4 SETS of GOLF CLUBS and TENNIS RACKETS available for use.
Activities: Rent a boat and explore the intra-coastal waterways to Punta Gorda or north to Venice and Sarasota. Alternatively, charter a boat and skipper and sail out into the Gulf for the excitement of game fishing for marlin or tarpon. Rotonda is an excellent area for cycling with its own pioneer trail and a cycle path that stretches down to Boca Grande. Within the community there are six magnificent golf courses, all open to the public and over 30 courses within a 15mile radius of Rotonda.
Tampa with it's International airport and Bush Gardens is 1½h drive to the north, while Orlando (Disney World, Universal Studios etc), the Everglades and Miami are all within reach (2½h to 3½h). Closer to home are Port Charlotte (15mins), Venice & Punta Gorda (30mins), Sarasota (1h) and Fort Myers (1h).
We had a lovely stay in this home - just the quiet low key break we needed. Nice trails for running and biking in the Rotunda. Sunsets are perfect and wildlife close by. Host and property manager very communicative. Recommend going to Gasparilla Island and Boca Grande. Local farmers markets are also great and we can recommend the Lighthouse Tiki Bar and Grikk off Placida Rd. Will definitely come back!
We had an excellent family holiday at this Villa. Villa was really well equipped - kitchen had all utensils and villa was well furnished and very comfortable. Bikes were great and the tennis racquets and balls came in useful too. Loved the table tennis too. Only issue we had was bites but we suspect this was down to time of year and being close to the beautiful lake. Owner, Caroline, was responsive and local English agents, Lorna & Michael, were also very helpful. Great villa - we may well book again! Thank you
Best VRBO we have ever had thanks so much! I'll close my eyes and imagine im their.
We enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing two weeks in Rotonda.The beautiful villa is maintained to the highest standard and provides everything anyone could possibly want for days by the pool or day trips to the beach. Whilst no help was needed it was nice to receive messages from the owners both at the start and end of our trip. Many thanks!
Great location for a quiet space to relax not overlooked with sun from 10 in the morning through to dusk on the deck. Perfect location for a range of beaches and all the equipment you would need to make it a perfect break.
Very nice, clean property.
Very smart and well equipped villa.
Very tranquil and well appointed home. The owners were very helpful.
Our second vacation / holiday at this property and hopefully not our last.
This home has everything you could want and need. Beautiful location and view. All you needed were your clothes. It was spotless! The beach, grocery stores and restaurants were a short ride. We are looking forward to returning!
Stayed here for 2 weeks in may, the villa is lovely with a great outlook. Very clean and equipped with everything you could wish for. Darren & Sam (UK)
This is our second time at this villa. Love the quietness and the view. Central to many locations, 20 minutes to Stump Pass or Port Charlotte. Villa is well equipped and had all the equipment we needed. Will definitely be booking again.
