We had a super stay at Charlotte's villa and would certainly recommend it to family and friends. Thank you to Mark and his family, Charlotte's villa was so comfortable and clean and you have made sure that there is everything that anyone could need for their stay. We soon felt relaxed and right at home. Lance from the property management company was friendly and helpful and dealt with the couple of queries we had straight away. We went out on a couple of trips and to the beach during our two week stay, but most of all we enjoyed relaxing at the villa by the warm pool. We had a super relaxing stay and would come back again.

We will be back to stay at Charlotte's Villa - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
A frequent holiday destination for us over the last 5 years, but our first stay at Charlotte's Villa and certainly not our last. We were let down by a previous local letting agent and found the villa online. From our initial enquiry to booking, everything was clear and very straightforward, with great communication. Arriving at the villa we couldnt fault it. Very clean all the facilities you need and a fantastic pool area in the sun all day , but adequate shade if you wanted it , with very comfortable sun loungers & chairs with lots of space to relax for the whole family. The villa also has beach chairs , coolers for a day out at the beach. we didnt use the bikes but they are there too along with other fishing & tennis options. The villa is also centrally located on Rotonda West , with easy acess to Englewood , Port Charlotte , gasparilla island ( Boca Grande) , stump pass with many options for dining or just chillin out at the beach. We strongly recommend Charlotte's villa as the perfect location. We will be looking at options for next year and cetainly many more after that ... a really enjoyable holiday , thank you Mark

A spotlessly clean, well stocked and comfortable villa in a lovely location.
We booked this villa at quite short notice after our first booking was cancelled due to the sale of a villa. I was a little bit unsure of booking as there were only 4 ratings on tripadvisor but I am so pleased that we went ahead and booked Charlotte's Villa. Mark responded very quickly to our initial contact and booking was simple via tripadvisor. We received details 2 weeks before our arrival on how to enter the villa, which also informed us that there was a folder within the villa with further information regarding the villa and the surrounding area. Entry to the villa was extremely easy and the first thing I noticed was how clean and fresh it smelt. The interior was as pictured and a great size for our family of 4. The interior and exterior were extremely clean and it was stocked with everything you would need and a bit more! The folder with the information contained everything you needed to know for your stay and was very useful. The pool area was perfect with comfortable low chairs and table under the ceiling fan. The pool was a lovely temperature and looked to have been newly surfaced. The bikes were great (once we got used to them not having the brakes on the handlebars) and we used these a couple of times cycling up to the cape haze trail. This is our second stay in Rotonda and the location is great for Blind Pass, Stump Pass and Boca Grande beaches, but takes about 1hr 30mins to get to Naples. Since we did explore further afield it meant we actually spent little time at the villa which was disappointing as we would have loved to have spent more time there and to have used the pool more. I wouldn't hesitate to book this villa again and would like to thank Mark for allowing us to use his holiday home.

Thanks for your lovely feedback Laura. I'm extremely lucky to have a fantastic Property Manager who does a great job keeping the villa spotlessly clean and is always on hand if needed. You are absolutely right, the pool has recently been resurfaced! Glad you got out and about and explored the local beaches. Maybe next time you'll get to enjoy the pool area some more! Hope to welcome you back to Charlotte's Villa again sometime. Regards, Mark.

Beautiful Villa
We visited the Villa from 8/4 thru 8/12/2018. We visited the West Coast about 5 years ago and loved the area and beaches. This time we took our kids, and we can honestly say it was the best family vacation we ever did with them. Such a fun and relaxing time , in and around the coast as well as the beautiful house . The kids loved it!! We hope to make this a repeat trip every summer, minus the Red Tide of course.. but don’t let that stop you, plenty of things to do besides the Gulf!!!!

Fantastic Location
Lovely quiet location away from the main tourist trails. Can't fault the villa, it has everything you could need and more. Mark the owner is so easy to deal with and couldn't have been more helpful. It was an absolute delight to stay at Charlottes Villa and I would be more than happy to return some day.

Beautiful Home
This was our first time visiting Charlotte's Villa and hopefully will not be our last. This property is beautiful! We enjoyed the pool/backyard area every day! There is everything you would need to cook a meal, trip the the beach, even bicycles for your use. It is close to beaches and any other sightseeing you might want to do. Owner was very easy to work with. Hope to come back late winter early spring, thank you so much Mark for sharing your beautiful home with us it was a wonderful time!!

Charlottes paradise.
We are, unfortunately, coming towards the end of our stay here but wanted to say what an absolutely amazing time we have had so far. We have stayed at a few villas in Florida but this one tops them all. It has absolutely everything you could wish for. Everywhere is spotlessly clean firstly which is obviously very important. The house itself is well laid out and a really good size. The kitchen has everything you need and we enjoyed cooking a few meals in there but we LOVED the BBQ for some gorgeous steaks and corn on the cob. We even had bacon and sausages on the BBQ for breakfast. The pool area is beautiful, the pool itself is a perfect temperature and there were some pool toys for the kids (we'll be leaving a few more for the collection). The poolside furniture is perfect. A lovely comfortable covered area under a ceiling fan, table and chairs with parasol for outdoor dining and some comfortable sunbeds. The pool and lanai overlook a canal which is SO picturesque and we saw birds, turtles and even a couple of alligators. There were bikes in the garage which a couple of us enjoyed too. All in all we honestly couldn't rate the place highly enough and we would love to return, sooner rather than later hopefully.

About the neighbourhood
Rotonda West is a delightful, peaceful community located on the Cape Haze Peninsula in Charlotte County in the South Gulf Coast of Florida. It is situated mid-way between Tampa and Fort Myers, close to Englewood and Port Charlotte.
For those looking to savour the tranquility of the area, just sit back and enjoy the local willdlife - many exotic and beautiful birds call Rotonda West home, it is a designated bird sanctuary. Thirty miles of picturesque canals, lakes and ponds meander through the community so look out for herons, egrets, humming birds, raccoons and armadillos. Why not jump on one of the bicycles in the garage and go explore the area along the designated cycle paths?
The immediate area is a golfer's dream, with six championship golf courses within 5-10 minutes of the house. The clubs are all very friendly with family club houses and are accessible to non-members. In addition there are several other courses to choose from within a 15-20 minute drive.
Although situated in a quiet location, you are extremely well served for local shops, supermarkets and amenities. The likes of Publix and Win Dixies will tempt you with their huge aisles full of goods, it is impossible to walk past the fresh fish and deli counters without being tempted - and don't even mention the cakes! You can also get your pharmacy and liquor items while you are there.
Good local restaurants are easy to come by... why not head for one by the waterside in order to enjoy amazing views as well as fabulously varied cuisine! All are very family focussed.
Slightly further afield, but only 20-25 minutes by car, retail therapists should head to the Port Charlotte Shopping Mall which includes many big name stores such as Macys, Dillards, Hollister and JC Penny. The perfect place to update your wardrobe or stock up on gifts. Losing a pounds (or dollars) in the mall gives you the ideal excuse to visit one of the many restaurants by the mall including Red Lobster and Chillis.
When you stay in Rotonda area, you will enjoy an area unspoiled and untouched by the congestion of city life. This is the 'real' Florida. Come, stay and enjoy!
