Truly Amazing Villa. If you are looking for a romantic getaway or a family vacation this is the vacation spot for you.

About the owner
We have owned our home in Rotonda since 2006 and began renting from September 2006.
Since then the majority of our rentals come from return visits and we are now pleased to call these people our friends.
We have made personal touches to the home that our guests seem to enjoy such as an aray of reading material ( some kindly donated by our guests), games, dvds and pictures.
Our guest book comments have been very complimentary (thank you all) and our management team have been praised by all concerned.
We sincerely care about our guests enjoying our home as much as we do.
Year purchased: 2006
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Having visited the area on holiday in 2001 we fell in love with the peace and quiet, the proximity to the beautiful beaches (and shopping malls) and the absolute rest that one gets in the Rotonda area.
From the tranquility of Rotonda you are only 1.5 hours from Busch Gardens, 2.5 from Disney and 3.5 from Miami. Therefore you get the best of both worlds on a stay.
With the ferry to Key West from Fort Myers daily taking 3 hours, it was ideally situated to explore the whole of Florida.
Unique benefits of the property
Our home is spacious and does have the added advantage of areas of privacy, with the Master bedroom not only having a huge bed, but a TV, Sofa and Chair. Only minutes from the 776,771 the access to the 41 and the I75 opens up the whole of Florida quickly.
You can enjoy breakfast outside in the shade or in the nook overlooking the pool, before the sun hits the lanai about 9.30am and then stays with you all day.
The area surrounding our home has neighbours who are residents and very little traffic and therefore kids can cycle around safely.
