Description

THE LOCATION

With weather that is perfect nearly all year round Rotonda West is one of Florida’s best kept secrets on the beautiful Cape Haze peninsular between Sarasota and Naples. The beautiful white sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast are a short drive for sun-bathing, shelling, hunting for sharks teeth, or watching dolphins at sunset. Boat trips (and boats for hire) for sailing and fishing excursions are available from local marinas or you can take a boat trip along the Intracoastal Waterway where you may see dolphins and even a manatee.

For the sporting enthusiast there are five golf courses and a 24 hour floodlit course all within ten minutes’ drive. Whatever your ideal holiday, this is the perfect spot for simply relaxing and seeing the real Florida. Close by are Englewood, Venice and quaint old Boca Grande/Gasparilla Island. At nearby Port Charlotte there is one of the largest Malls in Florida or, for the really dedicated shopper, there are two enormous designer outlet malls within an hour’s drive. There are several excellent restaurants in the area and Rotonda West also has three supermarkets within 10 minutes.

THE VILLA

Heron's Way is situated on one of the quietest roads in Rotonda West – the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. With very little traffic passing, most of the time the only noise is birds during the day with Cicadas and the odd croak from frogs in the canal at night.

The stunning spacious villa is furnished to a high standard. The south facing heated pool overlooking a freshwater canal is the perfect spot for relaxing. The wide lanai gives an uninterrupted view along the canal for enjoying breakfast or coffee in the morning sun while planning your day. Later in the day the lanai provides shade for an al fresco lunch or a cool spot for enjoying a barbecue as the sun sets.

The fully screened pool area has plenty of room for sun-bathing with a cool spot under the shady lanai if you have had enough sun. With solar and electric heaters for cooler days the pool is kept to a pleasant 86F nearly all year round. It can also be floodlit for evening swims.

There are plenty of books for poolside relaxation but it is only too easy to get distracted by wildlife. Rotonda West has its own Nature Reserve so you are never very far from nature. The garden beyond slopes down to the canal with abundant wild-life - a bob-cat, herons, egrets, wood-stork and even ospreys and a bald eagle have been seen fishing. In the garden Red Cardinals, Humming Birds and Mocking birds are often seen. Rabbits, raccoons and armadillos have also visited our garden.

Our local Management Company is also close by should you need them. We regularly visit to make sure everything is kept to the standard we would hope to find and to guarantee your holiday home is a place where you can simply relax and enjoy.
