Address
Englewood
Gulf Coast FL |
Without a major city or central point, the area of Englewood and
Port Charlotte has often been difficult to describe to potential
holidaymakers. Our rental homes are actually located in an unique
golfing community called Rotunda.
From a bird's eye view, Rotunda is a virtually perfect circle
divided by it's supporting infrastructure into eight equal parts.
Our Rotunda rental homes are spread around seven of these 'segments'
while the eighth is a nature reserve providing habitat for the
regions wilder occupants. Lakes and canals are scattered throughout
the area whilst several golf courses and retail developments have
created a superb balance between modern living and the natural
Floridian landscape. This large residential area is immaculately
maintained and extremely peaceful and relaxing.
Our villas in the Englewood/Port Charlotte area provide a perfect
choice for those looking to head south from Orlando, want the
beaches and a complete contrast from the non stop action and noise
of the Disney and Universal theme parks. This is a quiet area,
without the tourist attractions found in Sarasota. However, there
are two or three reasonably sized shopping malls and most of the
familiar restaurant chains (Olive Garden, TGI Friday, Outback,
Burger King & MacDonald's) can be found around 15 minutes from the
Rotunda homes in central Port Charlotte. Without doubt though, the
two biggest draws to the area are the mile after mile of gorgeous,
white sandy coastline and the seemingly endless choice of quality
golf courses. There are four main beaches within a twenty minute
drive and one smaller, intimate beach less than a ten minute drive
from our rental properties. In fact, discounting the beachfront
properties on Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key, the homes at Port
Charlotte are actually closer to the beach than any of our Gulf
Coast villas. The most popular beaches are Manasota Beach and Venice
Beach. Manasota boasts an incredible 14 acres of undulating sand, a
winding boardwalk and several picnic areas and BBQ pits. Venice
Beach draws the shell hunters, both casual and avid collectors, with
it's wide variety of fossils and shells.
Another major attraction of this area is diving, Florida has long
been the diving capital of the USA, scuba diving and snorkelling in
the springs and rivers is possible year round and has been bringing
visitors to the area for some time.
From Port Charlotte, Sarasota is about an hour drive north, Fort
Myers and Sanibel Island are just under one hour south. Further
afield is Naples, Marco Island and the Florida Everglades which are
around 90 minutes drive from Port Charlotte. Orlando is a 3 hour
drive.
