Our villa is 2300 square feet of living space and features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 en-suite), fully air-conditioned open plan living, split-bedroom floor plan, breakfast bar, separate dining area, formal lounge and a large family room. The villa opens out onto a double sized pool deck (lanai) and a beautiful pool.

The pool has both solar and electric heating so you can swim all year round. The lanai is private with a sweeping vista over a small lake and the length of the fairway of Long Marsh golf course with green belt beyond ? we are not overlooked. A south west aspect makes it ideal for sunbathing, and winding down with the backdrop of magnificent sunsets.

Enter from a circular driveway and beautifully landscaped yard and step into the light and airy Great Room with cathedral ceilings.

Contemporary and tasteful furnishings and comfortable sofas make for an ideal setting for relaxation. Cable TV, DVD and CD player are all available.

The very large master bedroom has an American king sized bed with its own spacious en-suite and walk-in wardrobe for a real feeling of luxury; double width patio doors open onto the pool. The second main bedroom has a queen size bed and enjoys its own en-suite bathroom. There are twin beds in the third bedroom. The main and second bedrooms have their own TV.

The house has all you need to enjoy outdoor living including a large gas barbeque for dining alfresco. Comfortable patio furniture and pool loungers are there for your enjoyment.

The kitchen is fully equipped, and the breakfast nook is convenient for informal meals.

The family room enjoys spectacular sweeping views of the golf course and lake (we think our home has amongst the best views in Rotonda!); double sliding doors onto the pool mean you can keep an eye on the children.

The separate utility room is equipped with washing machine and tumble dryer, separate laundry sink, and accesses the double garage.

We include many extras for your convenience such as beach chairs and umbrella, beach towels, cool box, pool toys and too many others to mention.

A welcome pack is provided by our friendly and helpful local management agents who are contactable for any problems. Cleaning after your stay is included in the price.
