Rotonda is a residential area that comprises a welcome mix of
both residents and rental properties. Conveniently located near
beaches, restaurants, supermarkets, shopping malls/outlets and the
sea, it doesn't matter whether you are a golfer, fisherman, boater,
sports enthusiast, shopaholic, sun-worshipper or just in search
of peace and quiet - this is the place for you.
Rotonda is very tranquil, a place for relaxation built around lakes,
waterways and magnificent golf courses. The area is a wildlife sanctuary
full of cranes, turtles, egrets, butterflies and lots of beautifully
coloured birds to name but a few of the residents. A bobcat or fox
strolling down the golf cart track is no more unusual than an alligator
or two sunning themselves on the banks of the waterways.
There are many activities in the area. Here are just a few:
Fishing - either freshwater or deep sea. And don't forget,
this is the Tarpon fishing capital of the world
Tennis - courts have been built in the centre of Rotonda
are are free to use
Baseball - attend a match at Port Charlotte Stadium or
watch the Texas Rangers spring training
Boating - on the waterways where you'll spot dolphins
and pelicans and maybe manatees
Nature - this is a reserve so enjoy walking around. Binoculars
and a camera are recommended.
Eating Out - in town of course, but on the water's edge
is always memorable.
Golf - the numerous courses in the area make this one
of the major activities.
The Beach - beautiful beaches where you can swim or hunt
for pretty shells and shark’s teeth. Or just bask in the
sunshine whilst enjoying the sound of the Gulf and the feel of
the waves lapping around your toes.
Sunsets - going down to the beach to watch the spectacular
sunsets is a wonderful way to end the day.
Crazy Golf - closeby, Pelican Pete's playground is great
for younger children but all age groups can enjoy a game of crazy
golf.
For boaters, you might take a trip to secluded Don Pedro Island where
picnic tables and barbecues are available.
Englewood beach, actually three beaches, has been completely reworked
and is a few minutes easy drive away. With picnic and BBQ facilities,
ample parking, restrooms, shaded tables and benches were you can take
a picnic, and casual restaurants and a general store just across the
road, it's a great fun venue.
There are so many restaurants within easy reach that it is impossible
to list them all, but they ensure that everyone’s tastes are
catered for. Large supermarkets are about 5 minutes drive from any
of the villas and a 24 hour supermarket and a shopping plaza is
located close to the centre of Rotonda. Just to the east is busy
Port Charlotte with its shopping mall (Dillards, Sears, Burdines
and JC Penney are there), as well as hundreds of other stores, restaurants
and facilities.
Other local attractions include places such as Boca Grande with
its fine sandy beaches, turquoise sea and the quaint shops, Fisherman's
Village down at Punta Gorda with restaurants and live entertainment.
A little further afield are many places of interest such as Venice,
Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota (St. Armand’s Circle for great
shopping) and, of course, the Everglades.
Rotonda is easy to reach from the following airports:
Fort Myers - 60 minutes
Miami - 3 hours
Orlando - 2 hours 30 minutes
Sarasota - 45 minutes
Tampa - 90 minutes
