Great place...great time

Pros: heated pool, plenty of towels, plenty of seating, little things (like beach chairs, coolers, sand toys) Cons: bugs in the kitchen, little TP supplied, could have been cleaner, damage to the pool lanai, and outdoor area was less taken care of than seen in the pics, road was busy

This home is exactly as pictured! Love the pool area, the kitchen was the most well stocked we have ever rented, slept great! Shelley was very responsive to questions! Definitely recommend! Close to so many different beaches! Thanks so much!!

The house was great! We stayed here for a month. The pool/patio is the best part!! There were just a few minor hiccups (which is expected). Shelley was very quick to respond and got everything fixed in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend and I would come book again!

Best stocked kitchen we have ever had! Comfy beds. Great communication, about 15 to 20 minutes from Boca Grande and Englewood Beaches. Boca was our favorite. Pool was very nice. Only thing that would have made it better would have been reclining chairs by the pool as it was mainly chairs to sit in. Highly recommend!

This villa feels more like a home than a holiday rental, immediately at ease on arrival. Well equipped with all needs covered. Fantastic pool and covered area. Near to several good beaches, restaurants also within a short drive. Loved watching the birds and animals on the adjacent golf course.

We stayed for a month. Shelley was great. The house was clean and well stocked. The pool area was fantastic. Best deal on the gulf coast

Great stay! Loved the big pool and gorgeous views from the backyard!

Very comfortable home and pool. Easy drive to the beaches.

The family had a great time.

This property was exactly as advertised on VRBO. Many updates have been completed on the property and I understand from the owner that many more updates are on the way. The owner was easy to contact and quickly responded to email messages. We enjoyed our stay in Englewood and would rent the property again if we get back to the area.

This home was amazing & Shelley was very fast to respond & very helpful. Had a few little hiccups that were worked out in minutes. Reason for the hiccups being covid19 and then not being able to come and look over their own property. Again no big deal! Would definitely stay again!

Was a great stay for us, we really enjoyed our stay, everything was how they supposed to be. Gladly will come back!

I would start this review by making it clear that the owners of this property were incredibly responsive and good to work with. Any time we had an issue, Shelley was quick to respond. The problem was that we had several issues and needed to reach out often. The owners haven't been able to visit the home personally in over a year due to COVID, so they are reliant upon their caretakers to maintain the property. The issues that we experienced are pretty normal for a Florida home, but I think many of them could have been avoided if the caretakers took better care of the property. You can see that they are dealing with rodents, cockroaches, and ants and we encountered all of them during our visit. This can happen with any Florida home, but it's the sort of problem we would have hoped could have been resolved prior to our stay. There were some other issues with the pool and and one of the toilets, but again, the owners did their best to address these issues during our stay.The home is in a nice spot with a beautiful view. The property just needs a little TLC. I'm certain that when the owners are able to return to the property, they will be able to address many of these issues and ensure that the home is a little more prepared for renters.

Shelley's house was absolutely AMAZING! And when I say amazing, I mean, beautiful, cozy, and everything you could want. Her house had all the little things you could need, seasonings, sippy cups, tampons lol, literally everything! There were 2 fans which are great if you're used to sleeping with a fan. One was a box fan and the other a wind tunnel. That was perfect because we brought 1 fan and then with the 2 there we had enough for one in every room, but are also some there already if you don't bring a fan. There were plenty of kitchen items for a large family. There were 5 of us. 2 adults 3 kids (16, 9 and 5) and plenty of utensils. Glass and plastic cups, sippy cups for little ones, pots, pans, coffee pot and keurig, and even tv trays for dining in the family room by the tv. The kitchen table was big and seated 8. The tv area was super cozy and couch extra comfy making nights enjoyable to watch stuff with the kids. There was a living room area as well for quieter time if you like to read The bedrooms were great in size and had plenty of space for everyone. The beds were super comfy also, we cannot live without a king size bed so thats always a must. Also a trundle in the double bed room making technically 3 beds in that room if needed. The pool was where it was at! It was such a cozy quaint spot outside with the seating area and beach chairs. Theres a nice gas grill outside and Shelley had sent some new grill supplies to the house while we were there. Theres everything you could need for the beach without having to bring it all yourself. She had beach towels, some beach chairs, and some beach toys. We also left some beach buckets and shovels and some pool noodles. She also had multiple coolers you could use or take to the beach as well. The house was located within 20 minutes of Gasparilla Island, which is where Boca Grande beach is that Shelley recommended. Let me say that OMG its gorgeous and everything you'd want in a beach. Not busy so not many people everywhere and so pretty with its clear water and white sand. Only a 6 dollar charge to get there via toll bridge but well worth it! My family and especially the kids just couldn't get over the pool and how nice it was. Having it heated and NOT charging extra for it is so nice! Her house is definitely worth your choice so don't hesitate, you won't regret her house. Oh and there's so much Florida wildlife at her house! Saw so many geckos and frogs even a hatched egg of some kind. Love it!

We enjoyed our month here. The weather was great and, there were some excellent restaurants. We also found some nice places to golf and even an occasional walk. Mostly we enjoyed the accommodations and relaxing by the pool.

We hope to move to the area in a few years so this was a trial run. We felt right at home. Beautiful location with views of the golf course, trees and wildlife. Shelley was extremely responsive to any and all our needs and wants and I feel like I have a new friend in the area that will welcome us when we do move. Her home had everything we needed. The pool was gorgeous. Felt right at home.

The house was fine and had a nice homey feel but the property could use a good deep clean. Pool area had mildewy toys, there was quite a bit of dust on closet shelves, dirty utensil drawers, filthy windows/sills etc. My mom cleaned the fridge, pool toys, and unloaded the dishwasher upon arrival. Was still a great experience for a good value and the kids loved the pool!

2020 was a challenging year, so we decided to spend Christmas in Florida rather than cold Wisconsin. We truly enjoyed our stay in the Rotanda West home. We instantly felt at home (as soon as we figured out the alarm system). Shelly was amazing to deal with and so responsive with any questions we had. There were several beaches within a very short drive, that were better than we could have imagined. We can’t wait to travel back to the sun again soon! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!

The house was great, the pool was fantastic, overall a great vacation home, we enjoyed our stay, and i could definitely see our family going back.

We had a great stay and Shelley was very helpful. We unfortunately had to clean the property before settling in. Shelley offered to have someOne come out but we already cleaned. We were also composited for cleaning upon arrival. We would definitely rent again.

My family had a great family vacation here. The house was perfect for us. The pool was wonderful. We will definitely stay again if permitted.

Will definitely be going back next year Shelly was amazing and got back to me with any questions I had felt super Comfortable and was truly peaceful their both my 3 year old son and 7 year old daughter learned how to swim in her amazing pool definitely give this place 20starts

We came at a troubled time and greatly enjoyed the much needed respite. Shelly was fantastic in her communication with us and the warm heated pool was most enjoyable

One comment! If the property is open for your stay don't wait, BOOK IT!!! No need to look any farther, all the needs you would like could be found in this clean, relaxing home. The owner Shelby made sure we had everything we needed, answering any question we had about the area. Only regret, it was already booked for the up next year😵� Thank you Shelby

We had a wonderful time! The home was very lovely and had so many extras that we didn’t expect. The pool was a little cool at first, the owner told us how to turn up the heater and it warmed up nicely! We wanted a relaxing place to unwind with our kids, and it was perfect for us! We are a family of 4 and there way more than enough space. Thank you for a great stay!!

Left one week early. Worst vrbo ever

We especially enjoyed the pool. The owner was always available whenever we needed to talk to her. The property is within walking distance of a nice boat dock. Got to see several geckos around the place. Very cool.

Home was more than adequate and well stocked. Pool was amazing. Perfect amounts of shade throughout the property.Owners checked on our needs throughout the stay. made us feel very welcome.

Home was clean and spacious. Plenty of room for 6 adults. Private pool area with plenty of outdoor furniture. Great communication by owner. 15 minutes to beach areas. Would rent again
