Our villa is situated in the golfing community of Rotonda West, a residential area, midway between Sarasota and Fort Myers, in Florida’s south west region. The area is relatively ‘undiscovered’ and is an ideal location to experience the ‘real Florida’ in beautiful and tranquil settings. Rotonda boasts a nature reserve, several first-class golf courses, including one within walking distance of the villa, and a community recreation area with tennis courts, BBQ area and children’s playground.
The villa is situated near the end of a cul-de-sac (no through road) and the pool area at the back has a private outlook onto trees with golf course beyond. The villa is only a 15 minute drive to the Gulf of Mexico with miles of sparkling water and beautiful white sandy beaches. Local beaches include those at Englewood , Stump Pass and Boca Grande. There are many other beaches slightly further afield such as Venice and Siesta Key. Several good supermarkets are 10 minutes drive away. There are plenty opportunities for fishing, water sports and boat trips and there is an abundance of wild life to be seen.
