About this property

Your very comfortable home away from home

As your enter the front door, you are welcomed to a spacious, bright, open area. The living room invites you to a cozy lounge space, which directs you to sliding glass doors leading to the Lanai and the serene pool.

The wonderful over-sized Lanai surrounded with gorgeous pot plants is the main feature for relaxation, next to your enjoyment in the crystal clear pool with a soothing waterfall.

The pool is enclosed within the screened Lanai, providing a bug-free environment under the Florida sun all day long. Electric heating of the pool is available on request at additional charge.

The Lanai is furnished with an elegant patio set that seats six, perfect for outdoor dining, entertaining, as well as lounging for those who love to sunbathe or relax by the poolside.

Separate from the outdoor dining area, a beautiful, all-wicker seating area is available for your pleasure of freshly brewed coffee (espresso machine on the premise), and freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice conveniently picked right off the trees in the backyard. A gas barbecue is also provided. It is the perfect tranquil spot to rest, enjoy the peaceful view of the pool, and most of all, observe an abundance of local wildlife (ibis, egrets, wood storks, cranes, herons, osprey, anhingas, cormorants, and gopher turtles).

Back inside, the spacious 2000 square feet home is tastefully decorated with attention to quality and detail. This fully air-conditioned home provides a peaceful and serene setting.

It is a split plan home, with the master bedroom on one side of the house with direct access through sliding glass doors to the Lanai. It has a King size bed, complete with high quality Sealy foam mattress and pillows, en-suite bathroom with a sunken bath, a walk-in Roman shower, two separate vanities, a toilet, and a large walk-in closet.

On the opposite side of the house: a second bedroom - with direct access through sliding glass doors to the Lanai - complete with a Queen size bed. Additionally, there is a third bedroom with two twin beds, providing ample sleeping accommodation for up to six persons.

Both guest bedrooms have their own walk-in closets. The adjoining bathroom is complete with a sink, a toilet, and a combination tub with shower, through which one can access the Lanai, conveniently serving as a pool bathroom.
A generous amount of quality bed and bath-linens are provided.
Hair-dryer is available in the main bathroom.
All beds have top quality silk duvets and waterproof protective covers.

The living room is centred on a 50-inch plasma cable-connected TV and comfortable, modern furniture.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need for meal preparation. It has all the conveniences of home: refrigerator with freezer compartment, microwave, dishwasher, ice maker, blender, electric kettle, toaster, waffle maker and a garbage disposal.

All bedrooms, the kitchen, the living room and the Lanai are fitted with refreshing ceiling fans.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a cozy nook, which overlooks the pool, open to a lovely view during breakfast and morning coffee. From the nook, the Lanai and pool can be accessed through sliding glass doors.

An elegant formal dining room comfortably seats six people and provides a view of the unique art work and palm trees at the front of the house.

A separate utility room is equipped with a clothes washer, dryer, sink and an ironing board, as well as a self-lifting iron. A spacious double garage with automatic up-and-over door provides substantial short-term storage.

For those who need to keep in touch with family, friends, or business via Internet, there is Comcast (cable) and high-speed/broadband access available to your own personal laptop/notebook (a computer is not provided). The VOIP phone service allows for free local and national (US and Canada) calls, with international calls available by using a phone card (easily purchased locally).

The antimicrobial ultraviolet (UV) light installed in the heating-A/C system ensures that the house remains allergy-free.

There is a Winn-Dixie (discount membership provided), Publix, CVS, Walgreens, and Wal-Mart within a few miles for your shopping needs.

The yard and pool are maintained weekly.

If you need any assistance during your stay, our local management company supervises practical matters, such as any break-downs and end-of-stay cleaning. They are available to help you if such needs arise.

We loved our stay in Magdalena’s home. She is a wonderful host with her top priority being our comfort. We can’t wait to come back again. Hopefully this will be our home away from home every year.

Perfect

This was a two week vacation and probably one of our top vacations to date. The house is perfect, clean comfortable and well equipped. It’s located in a beautiful neighbourhood, close to everything we needed and only a short drive from local beaches. The owner is great. Very attentive and quick to respond to any questions. We are already planning our next visit 😊

A perfect home away from home!

This home is the kind of place you come in to and feel instantly at home. The owner has worked hard to make sure that you will love your stay. With well thought out efforts such as labeling all of the switches so you know which lights are where and what ceiling fans are being operated. A binder welcomes you into the home and details all of the amenities from the pool, bbq, local restaurants, internet and more. Speaking of amenities we did not have any needs for extras supplies as this home was well stocked in every room. The internet is fast and my husband was able to work using his laptop (video calls etc…) with no problems. The pool features a beautiful fountain, jets and stays warm with the solar heating keeping it at a perfect temperature. The beds are comfortable in every room, the kitchen is stocked with everything you need (including spices!) and the garage has beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and more. The home is even better than the pictures, the owner is extremely helpful and communication is second to none. Just a short drive from multiple beaches and restaurants put this home in a prime location at a price that gets you so much more for you money. I highly recommend this home and owner!

Lovely stay didn't want to leave.

We had an excellent time. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The pool and backyard was great. It was so relaxing. We had everything we could possibly need. The beaches were beautiful and only about 15 minutes away. The internet speed was great to work remotely with VPN. Magdalena was great, she was quick to respond to any questions we had. We were a little concerned because there weren't any recents reviews but so glad we booked and will definitely be returning.

Amazing!

Everything was wonderful with our 6 week stay! The house was clean with beautiful and comfortable furniture inside and outside on the lanai. The pool was clean and the water was heated to a perfect temperature with solar heating. The pool area is very private and it felt like we were in our very own tropical oasis. The pictures do not do the property justice. Since the photos were taken, the kitchen has been updated with gorgeous white cabinets and brand new stainless steel appliances and there is a new front door. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would possibly need and there is also a grill outside. Magdalena was a fantastic host and very responsive and available by email or phone call/text. The neighborhood was very quiet and the neighbors we came across were very friendly. We enjoyed exploring the nearby Englewood Beach area, downtown Englewood, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Venice and Sarasota-especially Siesta Key Beach and St. Armand's Circle. We would definitely stay again if given the chance and highly recommend this gorgeous home to anyone!

This is accurately "your very comfortable home away from home" in a wonderful neighbourhood!

Enter into the beautiful open concept living area and open the wall of sliding doors to the incredible pool and lanai and you know you are now on vacation. The home is in excellent condition, clean, very well equipped and very well laid out with a totally separate guest wing. Pool privacy still allows views of the canal full of birds, fish and where an occasional alligator lazily swims-by. The neighbourhood was exceptionally quiet during our stay and any encounters with other residents was greeted with friendly waves. Lots to see and do in the area but book early for boat rentals and get to the beaches early..some were filled up by 11 am. We took a couple of days mid-vacation to visit Miami and Key West but our return to Rotonda truly felt like we were returning home. 5 stars all around!

Terrific West Coast Florida Destination

Fellow travelers. Over the 5 years we have been coming to Florida through VRBO listings, this home is one of the best. Just looking at the calendar should tell you that the rental is extremely popular and justifiably so. Every picture is accurate. The pool and lanai are great places to relax, get some sun, and enjoy a swim. The pool is solar heated and………there is a supplemental electric heater that is very efficient. There are lots of tenant toys in the garage like golf equipment, bikes, and pool gear. If you like golf, there are 2 courses within 5 minutes of the house. Finally, you’ll find a great selection of very good restaurants all quite close by. The MBR bed is comfortable. All of the closets are large with ceiling lights, and heating/cooling. The home design utilizes a series of pocket doors at both ends of the house. This system maximizes space yet preserves privacy throughout the home. The kitchen is generous and efficient. Enjoy a meal on the pool deck with seating for six and a view of the pool waterfall. The great room includes a LCD TV plus a DVR and the various Comcast routers and modems. We had no issues with the wireless internet or with the channel choices. Our only suggestion would be to add another TV in the MBR. There is a garage and it is great to park your car out of the elements. The house is situated on a double lot near the canal with many palm trees and privacy plantings surrounding the pool. There are various fruit bearing trees and if you like citrus products, go pick some oranges, lemons, or occasional grapefruits. Magdalena is the owner and she has been great to work with. She is caring, concerned, and responsive to any issues or concerns. So, don’t wait another minute, book it now. We already did for 2017.

Excellent place !

Last Summer we recently enjoyed our first stay in Magdalena's house. Everything was fine and professional. After a long travel from France, it was a very good surprise to find a huge villa, very clean, with the pool ( wonderful), lanai, and plenty of very nice bed! If you want to discover real Florida, it's the place, If you want the best house with a very good price in Rotonda, it's here.

Still a gem in Rotonda

We recently enjoyed our third stay in Magdalena's delightful Florida villa. We submitted a review last year and this last stay was every bit as enjoyable as our previous visits. This really is our home from home and we are due to return later this year. This is now a regular fixture in our vacation calendar and we can truly recommend this perfect home and location for a super holiday. See our earlier review for more details.

An Awesome Home!

We just stayed in what we feel is the best home in Rotonda West! It exceeded all of our expectations. Magdalena saw to every detail to ensure our comfort. We felt right at home on the oversized lanai which was spectacular with plenty of room to dine and relax in beautiful and comfortable high end patio furniture. The house was immaculately clean and very well maintained. The fruit trees right outside the door made for delicious fresh squeezed juice as well as for eating. Rotonda is a very beautiful and quiet area; a truly great hidden Florida treasure. You are only 10 to 15 minutes away from several great beaches. Stump Pass State Park and Boca Grande were two of our favorites. We saw all sorts of wildlife, the highlight being a nest of American bald eagles! You simply cannot go wrong in staying here. It's the perfect place for a wonderful vacation! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked for next year!

One of the best

Having visited Rotunda West for the last 15 years I can report this is one of the best rental properties on the estate. A great deal of thought has been placed on the comfort of clients, especially the outdoor living area where the patio furniture is top quality. The welcome items are nice touch and not seen enough in most rental properties. Magdalena kept in touch and vacation of 4 weeks went without a hitch.

rotonda stay

Villa was just as described, with everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. Right from the start Magdalena was so helpfull and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and the welcome was just as nice with an email to check we arrived safely. The large lot and landscaping made the villa very private. The size and layout of the lanai was excellent as the sun was on the deck the whole day. Fab pool and the waterfall was very relaxing. Having the use of the bikes was great and got us out and about the neighbourhood, however, it took a wee while to master the fixed wheel gearing!! We had a very enjoyable stay which even tropical storm Andrea didnt spoil.

A Real Gem in Rotonda

We have just enjoyed six weeks vacation in Magdalena's delightful Rotonda home. The house has everything to make a perfect holiday - comfortable, spotless accommodation, beautiful pool with spacious lanai and screened deck in a great location. There is a real feeling of space and the villa is situated on a double lot with flowering shrubs and palms providing a picturesque setting and privacy without spoiling views of the canal backdrop. Birdlife is in abundance and a great source of pleasure visually and to the ear. We spent many contented hours relaxing around the pool enjoying the natural sights and sounds. Magdalena, a true perfectionist, really went the extra mile to make sure everything was just right for us and was keen that our stay went smoothly. The villa has some lovely touches and is very well equipped. There are even two bicyles in the garage for those who like some gentle exercise on the safe and undemanding local roads. Rotonda is a pleasant, quiet residential community with excellent restaurants just a short drive away, many with sea and sunset views. We have already made plans for our return later in the year.

Relaxation +++

Planning our stay at this home started months prior to our arrival. Magdalena, the owner, was genuinely concerned that her vacation home was going to exceed our expectations - and it did. Most of our previous rentals included a "you never told us that" kind of surprise. This year was the exception. Magdalena's communication with us was frequent and detailed, presumably to avoid any last minute surprises. The cable service was interrupted one evening. We lost television, internet and telephone service. Magdalena investigated and took steps to ensure service was promptly restored. We found the home exactly as depicted in the many photographs. It was clean and well appointed. All the mattresses were new and high-end. We have never slept so soundly. The majority of our time was spent relaxing around the beautiful salt-water pool. The patio furniture was the nicest we have enjoyed. In fact, visitors next door came over for a look and were immediately impressed with the outdoor appointments. Both the neighbours and street were quiet, which made early morning walks especially relaxing. For those not familiar with the Englewood / Port Charlotte area, it has been described as Florida's best kept secret. Visitors enjoy quiet beaches, less traffic congestion and reasonable prices. Rotonda itself is a nature sanctuary. Good restaurants and shopping are minutes away as are I-75 and Fort Myers Airport. We have wintered all over Florida but settled on Rotonda. If you spend time here, you'll know why. We hope that Magdalena will allow us to enjoy this gem in the future and have no reservations recommending it to others.

It was a lovely experince which stared the moment we opened the door, from the brightness , species and perfectly clean rooms , provided us with a nice welcoming invitation to stay. We later disovered how great your taste was in terms of decorating and fine attention to the detail you have ( even the bottle of wine was a very good choice).Your kitchen is very well equiped with all necessary applinces and your washer and dryer it looks like just arrived from the store , making our experience even more wonderful. For those who will be staying in Magdalena House - here is a good tip, just beside her pool is a grapefruit tree which provided us with the juice I've ever had.Than you Magdalena for now, we'll be back.
