The Florida / Florida Gulf Coast region

If lazing around the pool, or spending time on the Gulf's idyllic beaches becomes too much for you, take a day trip out. There is so much to do - Fort Myers is approximately 45 to 60 minute's drive south of the villa. Visit Edison & Henry Ford's winter homes, or just walk the lovely tree lined boulevards of the City. Offshore Fort Myers, why not visit the enchanting islands of Sanibel & Captiva, which are a very short drive form the City.

A further half hour's drive south, is the enchanting City of Naples. Two hour's drive away from the villa and you are in the world famous Everglades. Flora, fauna and air boat trips. A 30 to 40 minute drive north will land you in Sarasota, a beautiful up-market City with so many attractions. Busch Gardens theme park (and largest Zoo in the southern states of the U.S.) is a 90 minute drive away. Orlando with its theme parks (Disney World, Univeral Studios, Sea-World etc) is waiting to provide the pre-requisite adrenalin rush - two and half hours drive from the villa. There are several State Parks or nature reserves close to the villa, if you seek peace and calm combined with nature.

Rotonda West / Long Meadow area

Rotonda & and the nearby town of Englewood has eight wonderful golf courses within five to ten minutes drive of the villa. Within 20 minutes drive and in Charlotte County (not including Sarasota County nearby), Guests have greater than 60 golf courses to choose from. The offshore islands (named Keys) must be explored and are 10 to 20 minutes easy drive from the villa. Manasota Key, Gasparilla Island and Boca Grande are but an easy drive from the villa. There are so many beautiful unspoilt, uncrowded white sand powder beaches to visit and choose from, on these Keys. Boca Grande Pass is the world championship centre for Tarpon fishing, very close by - deep sea fishing is very popular in this locale.

How to get there

Fly direct by British Airways from London Gatwick airport direct to Tampa. Or, fly to Orlando, Sandford or Miami. Alternatively, fly to any US City hub, transfer to any internal airline bound for South West Florida International Airport (located Fort Myers and an hour's drive from the villa) or Tampa. May recomend Dollar & Alamo car rental companies from personal experience (Budget car rental - poor experience).

Further details

Guests will receive a "welcome pack" on arrival comprising sufficient for a salad tea during the evening and breakfast the following morning. A property manager is but a telephone call away and living 10 minutes from the villa, should Guests incur an emergency or require any assistance with a problem concerning the villa. The swimming pool pump system is fitted with a thermostatic temparature sensor, which is set between 84 and 86 degrees fahrenheit. From April to September, the thermostat would usually ensure that the pool water does not overheat. Between October and March of each year, the water temperature attained is between 76 and 80 degrees, by using an insulated pool blanket - pulled across the surface of the pool, when the day's fun is over.

Conditions

The villa owners require a security deposit in the sum of £250 GBP which must accompany full rental payment eight weeks prior to your departure date. Your cheque will not be cashed but held in good faith against any damages or breakages that may occur. The cheque provided, will be returned to you as cancelled within 14 to 21 days of your return, once the property has been checked for any breakages or damage. At the time of a rental booking deposit being accepted, the owners will publish and agree a scale of cancellation charge, if the booking does not proceed.

Florida law requires that either an audible alarm or a safety fence is fitted to the pool deck, should minors aged 7 years or younger be included in your party. The villa is fitted with smoke alarms in all rooms. Modern day thinking concerning smoking, is that it is a proven health risk as well as a distinct fire hazard. Our villa is accordingly, designated a non-smoking property.

Guestbook for Villa Casa Soleil

"I have been to America six times before so have stayed in many villas. The area this villa is in is the best we have found, and we can only call it home from home, welcoming, comfortable with every facility you could wish for.

The kitchen was well stocked, such a welcome surprise. The pool area was lovely, always sunny, and the BBQ we put to good use. We hope Mr and Mrs Jackson will have us back next year. (This is the first time I have wanted to go back to the same villa).

Look out Rotonda we are coming back!"

*****

"We had the best holiday ever at Casa Soleil and would return right now at the drop of a hat! The villa was absolutely gorgeous and it was always a pleasure coming back to it.

We loved the area and it was so easy to get around. Gasparilla island was a dream and so were it's beaches and the shopping was very cheap.

This was a wonderful area of Florida to stay in as you experienced the real way of American life but also had the option of visiting Orlando and all the other major attractions.

If you are looking at villas for a forthcoming holiday, then this is the one you should stay in. Thank you!"

*****

"On our arrival – wow! What a great first impression. We’ve never rented a villa before, we didn’t know what to expect. This villa is perfect – couldn’t fault anything about it, it has everything you need. We didn’t sample any of the local restaurants we preferred to cater for ourselves. The BBQ was great.

We did a few day trips. – Sanibel Islands/Captiva Island are beautiful – well worth the drive. On a rainy day we drove back to Tampa to do some shopping – Florida International Mall (shopping heaven!!) Spent a day at Venice Beach – quaint little shops, must visit “Soda Fountain” for lunch. Recommend hot dogs and ice cream floats.

Visited Sarasota for the day, beautiful beaches. You should drive down to Gasprilla Island its stunning.

We will definitely be coming again."
