Villa Name: Tranquility
Villa ID: HJE438
Villa Area: Rotonda
Stunning villa, 4 Bedrooms / 3 Bathrooms ( 2 Master Suites ) South West facing pool extended
deck overlooks canal, lake and Nature Reserve.
Location Description
Pine Valley is located within the Rotonda on the South West coast of Florida in Charlotte County, often referred to as Florida's hidden secret, or the real Florida. It is near the beachside town of Englewood on the Gulf of Mexico. The International Airports of Tampa (1.5 hours) and Fort Myers (1 hour) provide easy access to this area.
Englewood has over 27 miles of white sandy beaches, many of which are almost deserted during the week. With Manasota Key to the North and Boca Grande to the South, our villa is perfectly located 15 mins drive to these fabulous beaches where pelicans fly overhead and dolphins swin in the sea. Englewood is one of the last parts of the Florida coastline to be discovered and is being developed on strict guidelines. Nearby Port Charlotte caters for all those craving retail therapy with a large Mall, whilst the Outlet Malls of Sarasota are 50 mins drive away.
Rotonda consists of many beautiful homes, which have been built on large lots amidst natural lakes, canals and golf courses. Many Americans and Canadians have made this area their home and you will be staying in a quiet and peaceful residential community. Which is also home to an array of Florida wildlife including pigs, raccoons, bobcats, turtles, alligators, otters and a variety of birds. A nature reserve and conservation area has been maintained in the centre of the Rotonda, where you can get close to 'Real Florida'.
With stunning beaches, fantastic wildlife, golf, and an array of attractions nearby, surrounded by numerous restaurants and excellent shopping opportunities, our villa is ideally situated to enjoy all this area has to offer.
We have a very helpful and efficient management company, who look after the maintenance of the property, which includes weekly pool service, lawn maintenance and cleaning after your stay.
In addition to office hours for general help and advice about the villa and the area, they are available 24 hrs a day in case of emergencies.

The Nicest Home we have rented for Winter Vacation
THANK YOU Derek and Wendy. Your home is beautifully decorated and furnished. It lacks nothing in the line of pots, pans and utensils. More than adequate bch towels and linens. We were happy to see a bobcat on 3 occasions and alligators in the lake. It was so relaxing to sit on the lani to listen and watch the many birds who frequent the area. The pool was nicely heated and we made good use of it. Before we left we were sure to have our vacation home booked for 2014. A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL..
Marilyn, New York USA March 2013
We were very satisfied with the accommodations during our 10 day stay in Rotonda. The house was very clean and well maintained. The layout of the house was great with kitchen and family room centrally located and two main bedrooms on the opposite ends of the house. The location of the house was private, the pool very nice and the lanai very specious and well equipped. The owners are very nice, easy to deal with and helpful. For us the best beach was on Gasparilla Island, the $6 bridge fee is well worth the visit. Boca Grande is charming and great place to visit on the way to the beach.
Sofia from Atlanta Geogia January 2013
Have just had a week staying in this lovely villa. The property is huge and would easily accomodate two families - only four of us so had plenty of space. The bathroom attached to first master suite fantastic. The villa is decorated to reflect beach location - light and airy. Plenty of space by the pool to sit and watch the local wildlife. The owner has thoughtfully provided beach/pool towels, coolbox, umbrellas and beach chairs - all the equipment needed for a relaxing day by the sea.
We wanted a relaxing location after three hectic weeks doing the parks and thats what we experienced. The local beach of Englewood has lots of facilities but is not over developed. The beach at Boca Grande has restroom facilities though no shops etc.

Wonderful Homely Stay
What a great find! We booked based on all the great reviews and weren't disappointed. The pictures are very accurate and the unit was so clean and perfect. The house is very nice. Bed was very comfortable. Everything is top quality. No sparing of expense here.
Michael from Denmark July 2012
Your home is absolutely beautiful. We arrived late yesterday afternoon totally tired but when we stepped into your front hall we were totally blown away by how beautiful it is. Your pictures do not serve it justice. Everything was spotless and the notes helped us navigate as to were everything is.
Thank you Derek and Wendy for allowing us to use your beautiful home. We had everything we needed and more. The villa was so peaceful and quiet. We visited the local beaches and did some shopping in Englewood and Port Charolette. The binder you left with things to do was greatly appreciated. When we come back in april there are several local eatery places we are going to try. The boys enjoyed golfing at the local courses and the golfing was excellent. Next year we'll be flying into Fort Myers which is closer to your villa. Thanks again for everything. It was a pure joy booking with you and you making things so easy and comfortable for us.
Doug and Norma from Canada
We spent two wonderful weeks in Florida! After several months working very hard we wanted to have a special christmas vacation. It was the kind long helpful and personal messages from our landlord Derek, that made us choose this villa, and the house was just perfect. Very clean and well equipped, lots of space and wonderful pool and lanai. We got very much good information about the villa and the surroundings before we arrived there and also from the house manuals. The location was ideal for us: many golf courses near and a quiet and safe area for a family with kids (and parents who does not need any bars or night clubs anywhere near). You need a car there, to be able to go shopping or visit the beautiful beaches or small cities. All in all it was so far the best vacation that our family have had. We liked best the villa, the weather (sunshine!), the pool, playing golf, shopping, spending relaxed time together and getting together new experiences for every sense. The people are very friendly in Florida and almost everything is cheaper there than here in Finland. The worst thing is that it is located so far away from us...
Taina from Finland , December 2012
A wonderful place to relax and enjoy the sun!
We took this villa for two weeks, the first with grandparents as well as our three teenage daughters, the second was just our family of five. There was plenty of space for everyone and the house was very comfortable. Lying around the pool was great, with plenty of local wildlife to watch - herons, egrets, pelicans and even a bob cat and her cub one day. The beaches locally were lovely too and we found other interesting stuff further afield, including a long day up in Universal which the teens in particular enjoyed. Local restaurants were friendly and good quality. Bikes provided by the house were great for everyone to do a bit of independent exploring and exercise. The pool was great. Would love to go again one day!
Lois from Scotland October 2011
One to recommend , location is key to this villa, privacy and water view are 2 key components that are met. Internally, the villa is very comfortable and is extremely well equipped, especially appreciated the beach chairs and sun umbrellas, made for a comfortable outing to Boca Grande. We would very much like to return and will recommend to others.
Jane from Sandhurst UK September 2011
Peace and quiet and truly unique surroundings
We truly enjoyed our stay at Tranquility. Something for everyone, a very quiet, friendly neighbourhood with everything close by.My wife and I had great days at some terrific beaches (usually within a 10-15 minute drive) from the villa, and really enjoyed our bike rides every morning and walks around the picturesque golf courses beside us.Getting up every morning to enjoy a coffee outside and listen to the many birds singing was very relaxing.The canal behind the property is beautifull and abounds with many waterfowl especially very early morning.One of the biggest surprises was when one evening the bobcat bounded through the back yard ,over the canal bridge and into the trees! All in all it was just a great, very relaxing vacation.The villa is very clean and well maintained in a quiet,safe neighbourhood. It was a pleasure dealing with Derek Birchenough who had everything very well organized,(instructions in the house were great also) and we encountered no unwanted surprises, before,during or after our stay.We would highly recommend this villa and the owners to anyone wanting a memorable vacation!

"Perfect holiday"
Wonderful villa with a perfect location. Very welcoming and felt at home immediately. Lots of varied wildlife to be seen even a close encounter with a turtle. Even after 3 weeks we could have stayed longer and having been home only 2 days we are missing it already. Cannot wait until next time!!!
Mike from Lancashire UK March / April 2011
We very much enjoyed staying at your villa. It was a wonderful spot to meet and share time with family. It was very well equipped and spotless on our arrival. We really appreciated the pool area for
lounging in the afternoon and dining in the evening. We were reluctant to leave after two weeks.
March 2011 Donna, Prince Edward Island Canada
Large, beautiful villa with great sunset view from the lanai
Great accommodation for a large family or even 2 families, since it has 2 master bedrooms both with ensuite bathrooms - the one in the #1 master bedroom is something to behold -
plus another full bathroom for the other 2 bedrooms. The south-west exposure for the lanai/pool area gives you sun from 9 in the morning until sunset - a spectacular view. The privacy of the villa since it is located by itself at the end of the street allows you to enjoy a very peaceful and relaxing vacation. Added bonuses are the 4 or 5 bikes that the owner has provided - one with a baby seat attached - and all kinds of floats and toys for the children to use at the pool or the beach. As you are relaxing pool side in the lanai, you may see all kinds of wildlife especially many species of birds etc.

Reveiw from Malou the Netherlands August 2010
"Nowhere better!"
The tranquility, the scenery, the luxury, the space, everything was just great!!! As we (parents and 15-year old boy/girl twins)had already heard about this place a lot from friends who stayed here in 2008, we had high expectations. But it was even better than we expected! This is clearly not just another rental home, but a home that the owners take loving care of. It is kept in tiptop shape and well cleaned. Gasparilla Island beaches are amazing and almost empty and there are plenty of shops and restaurants only a short car drive away from the villa. The extensive information we received beforehand from the owners saved us a lot of time because we could go directly to the places which interested us the most.
We are certain we will never find a better equipped and situated villa ever again. Thanks Derek and Wendy for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We hope to be back some day!
Guest Review from Angie Burrows UK July 21, 2010
"A beautiful villa in a great location"
Six of us stayed in the villa and thought it was great! It is exceptionally well equipped, very comfortable and was very clean and tidy when we arrived. The owners sent us lots of useful information before we left the UK and kept us up to date on recent viewings of the wildlife. The nearby beaches are very good and we found plenty of good places to play golf and eat out. I would definately recommend this villa and location.
"Tranquility is such an appropriate name"
The villa was a tranquil delight. If you are a bird lover as I am it was a real treat. In the morning you share your coffee with the symphony of birdsongs. From simple mockingbirds to herons and whole flocks of ibis and the egrets are a photographers dream. We wanted for nothing since the villa is so well appointed. Thank you for allowing us to share the tranquility and our grandkids enjoyed the fishing and views of alligators. The trips to Boca Grande and looking for sharks teeth at Englewood and Caspersian beach were wonderful too. Thank you again. Amy Davenport Florida
"Great Experience!"
We booked this house at the last minute, and worked directly with the owner. Derek was very pleasant to work with. We were a little leery, as we have never rented a house before. So we weren't quite sure what to expect. Well the house and the location exceeded our expectations. The pictures certainly did not do it justice. The house was beautiful! Very spacious and very clean. And to have our own private pool was just amazing! We drove all the way from Ontario Canada.......and it was certainly worth the trip. The house is close to beaches, restaurants and shops. But we had a great time just lounging by the pool! And the fact that the house backed onto a wildlife reserve was such a bonus. Within 15 minutes of arriving, we saw turtles, Herrings, and even a small gator!! It was amazing. Thank you Derek and Wendy. We hope to come back again next year. Debbie
We recently spent 2 weeks at this villa, and could not have
asked for more. Everything was exceptionally clean and tidy
The villa itself is idealy located, a fantastic place to relax and watch
the various wildlife across the canal and lake. - We were lucky enough to
spot a couple of small gators, numerous fishing birds and the highlight was
without doubt a bobcat.
Would completely recommend this villa, and the professionalism of Derek
and Wendy made the booking and planning of our holiday a pleasure.
Anthony & Kimberley from Warrington, UK
Very nice home, very clean and nicely decorated.
Located at a "junction" of a canal, with water behind
and to the side. Spacious grounds. Very pleasant
pool area.
Area full of natural wildlife.
Adjacent to 27 hole golf course.
About 20 min drive to many restaurants (usual chains)
and about 15 minutes to beaches and the beautiful
Gasparilla island.
Would recommend staying here and owner is very good
and cares that his guests have a good stay.
