Stayed at this villa as part of two families, bedrooms were ideally set up for this. Villa was very clean and had lots of facilities. Owners were really helpful and it’s a lovely neighbourhood. We would definitely stop again. review left on another site with 5* rating

Nice spotless home in a peaceful setting near easy driving to beaches & restaurants. Beautiful lanai watching wildlife which was a welcome change to hectic Orlando parks. Thanks for letting us stay at your home. Williams family, Kent review left on another site with 5* rating

Great choice for a family get-together for Christmas week. All 8 of us had our own beds and noone was sleeping on a living room pullout. The home is clean. We barbequed Christmas day dinner for 15 and ate on the Lanai. The swimming pool and game room were highlights. Very nice neighborhood to walk, run and bicycle. Location is great to just about everything. And of course, we loved the sun and the beach every day. Christmas magic.

Wonderful / beautiful property Rotonda West, FL, 33947, United States Date of Stay 20 Nov 2016 Great time. The property have everything needed. Fully equipped and the owner is very nice and helpful.

We wanted rest and relaxation after a hectic week visiting the Orlando Theme Parks, and this villa was perfect for achieving that goal. This is a large family sized villa with a good size pool, a spacious interior that has been well kept and very clean. Four large double / twin bedrooms, and an enormous master ensuite. The Kitchen is well-equipped, two Dining Rooms, a Lounge with TV and DVD, and WiFi that works well throughout the villa. We had everything we needed, and more, for a great holiday. The villa is situated in a quiet, peaceful community -- you wouldn't know you had neighbours. We enjoyed evenings sitting by the Pool, which is fully enclosed in a netted lanai to keep any insects and other small 'critters' away. We also enjoyed the lovely views by the Pool of the River that runs behind the villa. We saw all sorts of bird life, and 'wild life' like alligators, and a snake that slithered quickly across the road outside the property. The villa is located a short drive away from some beautiful white sandy beaches with supermarkets, like Walmart and Publix close by for retail therapy. We especially enjoyed a morning coffee and freshly baked muffin at Manatee Beans and Brews in nearby Englewood (https://www.facebook.com/ManateeBeansBrewsEnglewoodFL/) - well worth a visit. Overall, a perfect place for a restful holiday. Our family had a wonderful time. We would have no hesitation in recommending your villa to our friends & family and would return.

Enjoyed the holiday at the villa! It had a great lanai for sitting out in evenings even when it rained! Very nice to see wildlife and the villa is located in a peaceful area. Nice that the master bedroom is on one side of the villa and the 3 other bedrooms for kids on the other! Nice beaches locally and good selection of restaurants in Port Charlotte not far away. Kids loved garage for games and wifi was very good and fast! No hesitation to recommend and would return.

Lovely big family villa with good size pool, so spacious inside we kept getting lost! Everything you need for a lovely holiday away from it all. 4 big double/twin bedrooms and the master ensuite was huge. Well equipped Kitchen, 2 dining areas and a Lounge with full tv dvd and cable set up. Wifi worked well throughout the property and games room provided extra entertainment value. Friendly family feel to the villa meant we were at home straight away. Lovely views from the pool patio along the river that runs behind all the properties, we saw bald eagles, a giant stork, alligators and lots of turtles as well as a number of different wading birds. Pool is fully enclosed in a netted lanai that keeps any flies away. Rotonda Estate's roads are all flat and quiet, so good for cycling and waterways extend around the estate. Villas are spread out so the area is very quiet and peaceful. Explored all the beaches along a 40 mile stretch of coast which were all good - our favourites were Bocca Grande and Sanibel. For culture visit Edison Ford Winter Gardens & Museum in Fort Myers. For restaurants Venice was best, lots in the town but also try The Crow's Nest (upstairs) at the Marina, as well as Fisherman' Village at Punta Grande for perfect sunsets over Port Charlotte Bay. All in all a perfect place for a restful holiday.

Our family had a wonderful time. The house was nice and clean. Very quiet and enjoyable community. Surrounding beaches were beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!

After going over to the Orlando /Kissimmee are for a number of years this year we decided to venture far further away and try some where different , and we are glad we did . After trawling through the Website we kept going back to this property , its situated in a lovely quite part of Rotonda and with lovely views of the waterway at the rear , many times we seen the gators , squirrels , and numerous birds . This is a south facing pool and a great place to chill out . The inside is much larger than what you think and see on the photos , the rooms are all very very clean and spacious and the master bedroom with the en suite is massive. A large kitchen with all the utensils etc are provided a very big lounge and a separate TV viewing area . We had no problems with the booking via the website and all went along smoothly , Lisa and Darren thanks for letting us have your villa we will highly recommend it to others ...Great time .
