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 otters, pigs, raccoons, bobcats, turtles, alligators 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.
This stunning villa is spacious and fully air-conditioned and sleeps up to 8 people. There are 4 bedrooms including 2 master suites (one king and one queen) and 2 twin bedrooms which share a further bathroom. Both master suites have their own TV / DVD. There are 2 separate lounge areas one of which features a 32 inch TV, DVD and CD, all TV's in the villa are satellite and recieve over 100 channels.
The other lounge provides a restful spot merely to relax, this room also serves as a dining room for those more formal dining occasions if required. A large fully equipped kitchen including microwave and dishwasher provides a more casual dining area. A separate utility room with washer and dryer completes the accommodation. We have installed a wireless broadband connection so you can sit on the lanai and surf the net.
The villa is ideal for two family groups but equally suitable for smaller parties, which require that extra space, it is furnished throughout to a high standard in traditional Florida style.
The 2 master suites, kitchen and formal dining area give access to the South West facing spacious lanai and extended deck area where the 14ft by 26ft electrically heated swimming pool awaits, (pool heating recommended between November and April at an extra cost).
The pool area is fully equipped with sunbeds, a large table and 6 chairs for alfresco dining, it looks out down the meandering canal and the nature reserve, it should be noted there are no further properties to the right of the villa which adds to the privacy. Being close to the nature reserve ensures a variety of birds including, eagles and herons, regularly fly overhead.

Home away From Home
It was such an easy process of renting the Villa, I felt like I knew Derek just through the emails that we sent. The Villa was a home away from home! Everything you could think of was there! Rotonda is a very nice area, quiet setting while neighbors are near! We enjoyed our stay, would love to stay again sometime!!

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!!!

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.

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 masterm 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 porovided - 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. More...

Guest Review from Malou.Volkers The Netherlands August 7, 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!

"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.

Guest Review from dgoodwin@rim.com - Apr 8, 2010
"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.

Rotunda stay, March 3, 2010
By Rick Reifsteck (Champaign, IL USA)
Home was spotless and had all the amentities. Master bath/bedroom was huge. Layout of house was perfect with kitchen and family room centrally located. We had four occupants and this home versus renting two hotel rooms was not only much cheaper but probably had 4 times the space and more privacy. Great places to eat within 10 minutes or 20 minutes if going to Gaspirilla island. Will be there again next year if it is available.

we were 100% thrilled with our accomodations. The house was beautiful and had all of the amenities that we could hope for. The property was very clean & well maintained. We dealt directly with the owners & could not have asked for nicer, more accomodating people. Though we never met, we felt very comfortable dealing with them and we hope to rebook again!!!!

"Christmas at Tranquility"
My husband and myself shared the villa with our two daughters and son in law. My daughter's in laws also came to visit us for Christmas while we were there. We found the villa to be perfect for us. With the separated bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms everyone was afforded a lot of privacy. We found the villa to be extremely well equipped. It was easy to feel at home here!!

"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."
Paul Holmes from Ossett, West Yorkshire, UK
"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
"I am in Rotonda at the moment for a week in a spacious superb villa (thanks Derek). Having never been in this area before I was unsure of what to expect but it has exceeded expectations. The beaches are second to none (saw an iguana in the car park), great restaurants, wildlife a plenty. This seems like the 'real' Florida".

Reviewed on 05/20/2011 for a stay on 05/01/2011
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!
