River Villa By Golf Courses

Details

Home Description

Beautiful three bedroom, two bathroom air conditioned villa located on a double plot so you are not overlooked on either side. Sleeps six people. Situated in Rotonda West, one of the best kept secrets in this region, the villa is within a few minutes drive of several Gulf Coast beaches, shops and restaurants.

The sleeping accommodation in 3 bedrooms includes one queen-size bed, one double bed and one room with twin single beds. There is a master suite with walk-in shower and large bath and twin basins, a guest bathroom and a separate poolside toilet. Hardwood floors are in all living areas with carpet in the bedrooms, marble window sills and comfortable high quality sofas. As you enter the villa the wow factor is good.

Large living area or lounge leading to an open plan kitchen - both have sliding glass doors to the lanai (patio). The master bedroom has its own glass doors to the pool. Eco-friendly solar heated pool with spa that overlook the river in a beautiful setting. The kitchen breakfasting nook also opens to pool area which has 4 cushioned sun loungers. 6 poolside chairs and large oval table help you enjoy outside dining.

The pool can be safety screened if you have small children.

If you eat outside and we generally do so, you are likely to notice many wild birds - both large and small, turtles, and jumping fish ( a sign of happiness so they say). In the early morning or late at night you might catch sight of or hear a raccoon, or a bobcat.

The pool and solar heating system are south facing so even in the cooler months you can enjoy a refreshing swim at any time. In the cooler months the pool has a night cover which if used in conjunction with the daytime solar heat should keep the temp at 80F to 86F . A standard BBQ is supplied, 2 bikes, 3 beach chairs, 2 beach sun umbrellas, 4 fishing rods plus a keep-net and some toys for young children complete the picture.

A laptop computer with broadband and wi-fi / wireless connectivity is available for guest use and makes it easy to stay in touch by email, and to surf the net for what's-on etc.

The Villa is individually owned and managed locally, so if you need anything, just ask. It is set on a double plot of land in the midst of trees and this adds to the feeling of space. Irrigation is on an automatic timer and uses river water so the lawns and shrubs around this property are generally lush the year round. The property is cleaned and checked on Guests departure and again before arrival.

Amenities: Air Conditioning, Phone with free local calls, Satellite TV in main room and master bedroom, Stereo, CD and DVD Players, laptop computer with broadband, full Kitchen with all cutlery/flatware you need including teapot, grapefruit knife, egg cups - of particular interest to GB guests, and numerous utensils, coffee maker & cafetaire, toaster, juicer, large Cooker with Microwave above, Dishwasher, & large Fridge Freezer with Ice Maker.

Jetted Tub in master Bathroom, Jetted Hot Tub / Spa by Private Solar Heated Pool, Double Garage with electric up & over door, 2 Adult Bikes, BBQ, various Games including Monopoly & Scrabble, 4 Fishing Rods and a keep-net, plus a small but growing Book collection (there is a terrific bookshop in Port Charlotte).

There is excellent river & sea fishing as well as golf in this locality.

Public access tennis court are available on Rotonda and at the Tingali Centre off McCall Road by the Englewood public library. Great community theatre in north Englewood off Dearborn Road - cinema in Port Charlotte.

Rotonda is a great base from which to see what this area has to offer. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford Summer Houses in Fort Myers, the Ringling Museum and Arts Centre in Sarasota, The Bocca Grand village on Gaspirilla Island with its lovely boutique shops and gourmet eating places plus the museum in the lighthouse on Gaspirilla where the history of the area and early settlers is shown in pictures. Bocca Grande can also be seen usinf small electric carts that cn be hired when you arrive, or pre-booked. You can see rodeo at Arcadia a little inland, or visit the Myakka State Park with its escorted boat and open bus rides. Babcock Ranch is worth a visit.

Fine restaurants such as Johnny Loverocks, Rum Bay both Placeda Rd, Farlows on McCall Rd in Englewood, plus the Gulf View Grill on Engleewood beach, the Olive Garden & Red Lobster in Port Charlotte, the Crows Nest in Venice all have great food. Local well stocked supermarkets such as Publix and SweetBay and the Sheckters fruit & veg stall mean that you can eat well. Great shopping Malls in Port Charlotte' Murdock Circle and in Venice make for a fine holiday experience. The massive discount shopping complex known as Prime Outlets at Ellenton is about an hours drive away - adult, teens, children's & toddler clothes, shoes, watches (Seiko's factory outlet is fantastic by the way), sports equipment, cosmetics and much more - this is the place that will cause you to take at least one extra suitecase home. There appears to be only high quality merchandise and top brands here at extremely low prices. Another competitors discount outlet complex is in Ft Myers but we prefer the one at Ellenton.

There is professional heatre and performing arts to be enjoyed in Bradenton, Sarasota, Tampa and good community theatre in north Englewood. If you wish to experience a theme park try Busch Gardens abouts 2 hours drive northwards.

But if you want to just play golf, fish, or just relax on soft sandy beaches, you can do so locally.

Good discounts for stays of 4 plus weeks.

Private solar heated pool for year round swimming. Optional electric heating for jetted hot tub beside the pool can be arranged via local management company at £50/$80 per week if required. (The extra heating is rarely needed except in cooler months).
