Photos
The Florida / Florida Gulf Coast region


If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is just the place for you and your family to enjoy one of Florida’s best kept secrets, the beaches and surrounding areas of South West Florida. Whether you have escaped the crowds in Orlando, or have decided to re-charge your batteries by relaxing or playing golf in the ‘Sunshine State’, our Villa will be the retreat to suit your needs.
The sub tropical climate means that the weather stays relatively mild all year.
Busch Gardens is the closest Theme Park (1.5 hours drive - north) and you can reach Everglade City (3.5 hours drive- south) to experience an air boat ride, meeting alligators and seeing the local bird life.
The Rotonda West area
Located south of Sarasota and north of Fort Myers, Rotonda is perfectly positioned to reach the beaches of Boca Grande (see the famous lighthouse and the old world town), Englewood, Mannasota Key, and Stump Pass, if you don’t want to stay at home. Most of these beaches have shower and toilet facilities and have outside BBQ areas.
You can also visit historic Punta Gorda (Fisherman’s Village), from where you can take a sunset cruise or a trip around the bay, and Arcadia where you can scour the antique shops. The towns of Sarasota, Venice and Naples are also within easy driving distance.
Port Charlotte (a 20 minute drive) provides great shopping with five big retailers – Dillards, J.C.Penny, Bealls, Macy's and Sears as well as a variety of other shops, and a cinema complex, are located at the Murdock Circle Mall. There is also a wide selection of restaurants in the Mall and along ‘the strip’.
If you wish to go further afield you can go shopping at Ellenton Outlet Mall (just outside Tampa), or visit either Miromar Outlet (10 minutes from Fort Myers Airport) and Coconut Point at Fort Myers. There is also a giant FleaMasters market in this area for you to wander around at your leisure and grab a bargain.
Closer to home, the Rotonda Community Park (32 acres) features two tennis courts, a multi-purpose sports field, a picnic pavilion, and a bike path, as well as rest room facilities.
There are a number of supermarkets located at the edge of Rotonda which will provide for all your self-catering needs. In addition, there is a WalMart store in Englewood which is easily reached from the Villa.
If you want a change from self-catering, there are cafes and restaurants all within easy distance.

Guestbook for Elysium Retreat
I wanted to say that the villa was lovely. The pictures did not do it justice.
The kids had a great time - were in the pool almost everyday, and made good use of the bikes.
Judy, Ontario
My wife, family and I have had the pleasure of staying in this villa twice over the past four years and have had a truly marvellous time on each occasion. The villa is very well appointed with all the amenities that you could possible want from a heated swimming pool and jacuzzi to wireless internet and everything in between. Rotonda itself is an attractive well kept and safe suburban development of similar residential properties that is in easy reach of good restaurants, shopping and beaches. We will be back again.
Glyn, Reading, UK
We are just completing our second stay at Elysium Retreat and hope to return. The villa is very well equipped and so comfortable. Owners are very accomodating and concerned with the best interests of their guests. Maintenance issues are dealt with quickly, although issues have been very few. It is well positioned for the local Rotonda golf courses. Bikes are a nice touch to use on local bike trails or streets in the area. Quiet neighbourhood makes it a lovely place to vacation.

A UK proverb states "The proof of the pudding is in the eating", and we look forward to our fifth visit to this villa. The villa is well and worthily recommended.
