The house is on Rotonda West circle and is located on the Cape
Haze Peninsula in Charlotte County in the south Gulf Coast of
Florida. The Cape Haze Peninsula is approximately 1.5 hours
south of Tampa, between the cities of Sarasota (45 minutes)
and Punta Gorda. Orlando is approximately 2.5 hours away and
guests may choose to take a day trip, or two to Disneyland
before returning home to the tranquillity of this beautiful
house.
Rotonda incorporates all the very best of Florida in one
outstanding location – natural surroundings, mile after mile
of naturally breathtaking beaches and unbelievably stunning
sunsets.
The beautiful community and landscaping of Rotonda are
protected by virtue of being a Deed Restricted Community, with
its wide elegant palm tree lined boulevards, is set amongst
thirty (30) square miles of natural habitat punctuated with
lakes and canals.
Rotonda also now boasts five (5) challenging golf courses
within its boundaries and at least the same number again
within a twenty (20) minute driving radius. Tennis courts are
available in the community area at the centre of Rotonda
Circle, and there is an abundance of fishing and boating not
only at Rotonda but also at world famous sports fishing
grounds, including marlin off Boca Grande Island, which is
only a six (6) mile, drive to the south.
Florida’s Secret Treasures
The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico conceal countless miles
of calming natural beauty, revealing a 10 mile run of
undisturbed, clean beaches blessed with beautifully clear
waters, starting with Englewood Beach all the way up to
Manasota Key . This coastline consists of a series of keys,
effectively huge sandbars, which have matured into a chain of
charming islands.
The attractions of Clearwater, St. Pete’s Beach, Anna Maria
Island, act as magnets to holiday-makers seeking respite from
the hectic ‘hurly-burly Orlando scene’ or to inhabitants from
northern USA seeking southern warmth. Naples and Fort Myers
are fashionably expensive and added to this is an average
annual temperature of 23° Celsius (75†F), so it’s hardly
surprising why those who have discovered one of Florida’s
little known treasures have been loathe to share their secret.
It is a very relaxed, unhurried life-style against an idyllic
tropical backdrop. |
