Area of outstanding natural beauty
Sanctuary Villa is newly built and was completed recently. The
Villa is on the prestigious community of Rotonda West on the Gulf
Coast of Florida. Our home has a South East rear aspect bringing sun
to the pooldeck from breakfast to teatime and the fresh water canal
at the bottom of the lawn attracts a wide variety of wild birds,
fish, terrapins and other wildlife.

Rotonda West is one of the small, delightful communities located on
the Cape Haze Peninsula in Charlotte County in the southwest Gulf
Coast of Florida. This is a tranquil area of unspoiled natural
beauty and has a rich history. The closest beach from the villa is
about 10 minutes' drive, with a wide variety of different beaches
and natural spaces within a 20 minute drive. Cape Haze Peninsula is
approximately 100 miles south of Tampa, between the cities of
Sarasota and Punta Gorda. It rests on the waters of the Myakka River
and Lemon Bay.

The whole area is easily accessible from the Interstate 75. Orlando
and its attractions are only a two hour drive away. Fort Myers and
the Islands of Sanibel and Captiva lie to the South and are approx.
1 to 1.5 hour's drive.
Beaches, wildlife and beautiful sunsets!
A short drive from Sanctuary villa you can be on one of the many
glorious beaches that grace the area. Relax on the beach on the
pristine white sand and shells and let the gentle surf wash over
your toes, or lose yourself in searching for beautiful shells and
sharks teeth. You can relax for hours watching pelicans diving for
fish, a pod of dolphins fishing up and down the shallow offshore
waters or the sandpipers and other shorebirds dodging the surf as
they probe the shoreline. Most evenings bring spectacular sunsets to
view from the beaches, when seeing the sun literally appear to inch
towards and then dip below the horizon is always magical. Our
particular favourite beaches are Stump Pass State Park Beach,
Gasparilla Island Beach and Boca Grande State Park Beach. Middle
Beach and Stump Pass Beach are the closest, and as is normal in
Florida, all are clean, easily accessible and with good restroom and
water fountain facilities.

If you would like to explore wildlife in addition to that on view
from the pooldeck of Sanctuary Villa, then within a short drive you
can find State Parks, wildlife refuges and nature trails. You will
see many ospreys, their nests on poles beside many of the roads and
causeways, dolphins, many varieties of shore birds and pelicans. In
particular, we can recommend a wildlife cruise with Grande Tours,
where you will be able to see photogenic and unforgettable wildlife
sights not accessible on land.
