Golf enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with 5 golf courses on Rotonda alone, the nearest is just 5 minutes away and the house backs onto the fairway of the newest course.
As this is a residential Deed Restricted community it does have rules, for example relating to noise disturbance especially after 10pm, parking being restricted to the property driveway, dogs being leashed when out and not disturbing wildlife. more information can be found on the Rotonda West HOA website or in their offices at 646 Rotonda Circle.

This special area is only a few minutes drive from barrier islands and miles of quiet gulf coast beaches.

House is as presented online. The layout of the bedrooms and bathrooms are great as there are two bedrooms with attached bathrooms and the third bathroom has direct access to the pool. The house is well kept and in a nice neighborhood with great access to amenities as well as local attractions. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Englewood area.

Nice break in Florida

We've stayed in the Rotonda development several times. This home was nicely located - facing southwest for maximum sun and very quiet backing on to the golf course. We enjoyed a few visits from the local rabbit, tortoise and bobcat. Lots of birdlife as well. A large heron perched on top of the lanai for a few minutes one morning. Great stay!

Great stay in Rotonda

This home was clean and the description is accurate. We have been staying in this area for 20+ years and the home had almost everything we needed and we like the location. The weather was very rainy which was unfortunate for us, but that is out of everyone’s control. We were glad we paid for the pool/spa heat. The park in the community is great for tennis and pickleball. We met some others to play a few games. We brought our own rackets. There are many great restaurants within a 15 min drive as well as several grocery stores. On sunny days we went to Boca Grande for the beach. It is our favourite one in the area. Many houses in this area have games rooms in the garage and that is the one thing I would suggest adding to this one. Ping pong and/or a pool table would be great. This property allowed us to bring our dog….we are very grateful for that. It is difficult to find nice homes that we can bring her to. The TVs are a bit of a challenge to figure out and some clear instructions would be helpful. We were told by the property manager when we arrived that there was supposed to be a laminated card for pool/Spa instructions but there was nothing. Luckily, my husband is a pool and spa service technician, so he was able to figure it out.The property manager was not terribly helpful in this regard and we would have never figured this system out if my husband didn’t know how to trouble shoot. Many thanks for allowing us to stay. Julie and Steve, Ontario, Canada

Great communication.

Had a great stay in the house, was nicely decorated with plenty of things supplied to make the stay even better including beach needs and outdoor activities!. My 2 fur babies were allowed to join us which is always a nice option to offer and very much so appreciated! I left a cargo cover there in the garage, i reached out and the property mangers were kind enough to ship it back to me! Anytime I had questions or concerns they were quick to respond and great communication from home owner and property management. Very dark outside in the neighborhood, very little street lights. I suggest a flash light for any walking with pets in the evenings (Seen snakes on the sidewalk and garden area by front door) My only suggestion would be to turn the air down prior to guest coming to stay (was 80 degrees upon arrival and took till mid afternoon second day to reach 74 in the house) the ac unit seems a bit small for the size of the house and the ceilings are very high making cool down even longer than typical. Additional lighting outside would be a great idea as well, only 1 side of the light worked on the porch/ sitting area outside by the pool and the light in the pool was the only lights working hottub lights did not. Thanks for sharing your home with us and allowing us to make memories that'll last forever.

Beautiful

The place is beautiful, well-equipped, and roomy. The kitchen has everything, even a slow cooker! There’s a real coffee pot that uses regular filters and plenty of coffee cups. The dish washer has a wheel on the bottom rack that kept coming off, but my husband just kept putting it back on. It worked great. All of the appliances worked great. The living room and dining room had plenty of space. The bedrooms are big, the bathrooms are great. They need some kind of shelving in the shower stalls. Our party consisted of my husband and me, my two adult daughters and a son-in-law. No kids with us. We wanted a nice house in a quiet neighborhood not too far from the beach. It took about 30 minutes to get to the beach. We had a wonderful time. Loved the house!
