‘Villa Elysian’ in Rotonda Circle on Florida’s Gulf coastAt a Glance:
This luxurious home sleeps eight in comfort, while ten can be accommodated easily, and is ideal for two families. Both master bedrooms have large walk-in closets and spacious, luxury, en-suite bathrooms with whirlpool baths, separate shower units and his and her wash hand basins. There is cable TV to the two master bedrooms, both of which have French windows opening out directly on to the pool/lanai area. There are a further two bedrooms, one a double
and one a twin sharing the third full bathroom with shower. In addition
there is a double sofa bed in the den/TV room, with generous built-in
wardrobe and storage space, near the fourth shower room with WC
and wash hand basin which also serves as the pool bathroom. The main living area is of the open plan design, which consists of a beautifully furnished living room overlooking the pool and lanai, a formal dining area and a breakfast/casual dining area close to the kitchen. This is extremely well-equipped with dishwasher, large fridge-freezer, microwave, oven, hob and all the smaller domestic appliances you would automatically expect – kettle, toaster, blender, coffee maker etc. Of course it is fully equipped with more than adequate supplies of pots and pans, cutlery, crockery, glassware and all kitchen linen. The telephone is located on the breakfast bar area – all local calls are free and phone cards can be purchased very cheaply from most supermarkets. Leading from the kitchen there is a separate utility room with a very large simple-to-operate washing machine and tumble drier – always a bonus for the holiday maker who does not want to spend much of her (his) time trying to decipher the manufacturer’s complex instructions. There are also all other laundry facilities, iron, ironing board etc. A door leads from the utility room to the double garage where bikes and beach equipment are stored. The den/TV room with double sofa bed is equipped with cable TV and has a DVD/VCR with a wide selection of films. In addition there is a good selection of games for children and adults and a selection of books. Whether for fun or business, for those who want internet access, this will be installed for 2007. Through sliding doors, from the open plan interior, there is a fully screened pool with removable child guard. The pool is solar-heated for most of the year, electrically heated for the cooler months, generally from October through to March. There is a luxury hydro spa. Currently there is no extra charge for either the spa or the electric heating. The villa is fully equipped with everything that families or groups of friends require for a memorable holiday. For the cycling enthusiast there are 4 bikes (2 gents 2 ladies/child) to explore the local area; additional bikes can be hired if required. Within minutes of walking or cycling is situated Florida National Parkland, a lovely, tranquil, unspoiled area with a host of wildlife. There are sun shades, beach chairs, a cool box and plenty of beach towels. For those interested there is even a bird watching kit and guide to local birds, and a wall map to plan outings locally. When not dining in local eating places the gas BBQ can be fired up to enjoy outdoor eating by the pool, whilst watching glorious Florida sunsets, with a suitable drink in hand. We have a local family-run British Management Company to prepare the villa prior to your arrival. If you wish they will supply a Welcome Pack, extra gas cylinders for the BBQ etc. Should you have any problems at all they are there to help. Please take the time to read their very comprehensive Information Booklet provided in the villa. It covers all aspects of your stay, from safety issues to details of beaches, golf courses, maps, activities, shopping and eating places. Also please note there is no mail box at the villa due to excessive
Junk Mail.
