About the owner: Hello!, we are born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin. Love nature, boating, classic cars, typical Wisconsin things like: beer, brats, sausage, cheese, cheese curds and watching the Packers and the Wisconsin Badgers! We love the outdoors and being on the water. Feel free to call me anytime, I would be happy to help you!
We purchased this villa in 2016
Why this property? We have always loved to vacation in Florida. We discovered Rotonda when we drove up from Fort Myers to visit a friend- and never wanted to go back to the traffic nightmare of Fort Myers. Loved how quiet and low key Rotonda was. This was the place to be! Our house is in a very quiet newer area. White marsh and a golf course behind the house. Beautiful houses on this street. We purchased the house just by 5 pictures. We loved the very open floor plan & large living room with one side being all glass sliding doors inviting the outside in, the split floor plan for privacy, and the bigger pool area. We also liked the mix of carpet and tile to make it feel homey!! Now, we have a beautiful clean place to stay when we come.

Theresa P.Perfection
From the moment we walked into the house I felt relaxed and peaceful. This home was the best I've ever vacationed in. Home...that word describes it. Such a pretty home and everything you needed for your stay was there. We spent most of our days enjoying that amazing pool. And the hosts were wonderful! I honestly can't wait to go back and stay longer than a week! Thank you so much Judy and Steve.

Lynette K.Beautiful and Spacious
Beautiful spacious home! The amenities in this home are not often found in a rental property. A 70 inch TV, an adjustable king bed in the master bedroom, sturdy reclining leather sofas, three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large heated pool and the natural beauty of a Florida marsh make this retreat truly amazing. Quiet, spacious and clean says it all. We truly felt at home and welcomed. Joe and Lynette May-June 2022

Christine B.Beautiful, Relaxing, Everything You Need to Have a Great Time Away
Lovely home in a beautiful neighborhood! The layout of the home is perfect for all types of families! The home was spacious, and cheerfully decorated and had everything one needed to have a great Florida Beach Vacation! The Kitchen was completely stocked with tons of pots and pans, as well as other appliances to make anything your heart desires. The garage had all the beach paraphernalia one could want to include floaties, umbrellas, coolers, beach chairs and extra-large beach towels! Not to mention bicycles to enjoy paddling around the neighborhood! After a day at the beach, it was wonderful to come back to the house and enjoy the very comfortable heated pool. We most often cooked in, but there is a good variety of restaurants relatively close for those who wish to go out. The local beaches are gorgeous, and we spent a lot of time on Gasparilla Island - roughly a 50 min. drive from the house. There are several beaches to go to without going that far. The area has something for everybody! Lastly, I would like to mention the owner, Judy. Communication with her was excellent. She answered all of my questions just about instantly, and she was very easy to work with. She spent time telling me about several places and restaurants in the area; it was easy to see she really wanted my family and I to enjoy our time in Rotunda West. I highly recommend working with her and renting one of her amazing Florida homes!

This home is so clean and comfortable! The communication with the owner and management was clear and quick. The location is nice and quiet, yet close to many fun beaches and other activities to explore. The home is equipped with everything needed and is in great condition. The pool is such a bonus! We look forward to visiting again!

Dara S.Wonderful place to visit!
We absolutely loved our last-minute week-long stay in Rotunda West! Judy was fantastic to work with every step of the way. She had helpful recommendations on the best beaches, restaurants and even shared tips on the best times of day to visit the beach, to minimize the chances of sunburn. Upon arrival, we found the house to be absolutely spotless. We loved the layout - perfect for families or groups of friends. The beds were so comfortable and the sheets were buttery soft. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! We’ll be back!

Cindy W.Best place to stay!
This was a fabulous home to stay on our vacation! This house was so clean! The owners were very accommodating and made sure to answer all our questions. Just pack your clothes because this house has everything you could want! We also loved the pool. We will definitely be back again. Thank you!

Cammie B.Perfect alternative to a hotel/condo!
This house was wonderful! Very clean and everything as promised. We have been to Florida a couple times vacationing before and have always stayed in either a hotel or condo. With 2 teenagers, it was so nice for everyone to have their own bedroom and their own bathroom! It was great to have a pool to swim in each night after being at the beach and site seeing during the day! Judy is so nice and easy to work with!! Wonderful neighborhood as well! We will definitely book again.

Richard K.Excellent home AND owner!
From before our arrival things were great! Judy was responsive in all communication and worked with us getting arrangements set. And the pictures did not do the home justice! It was more spacious than expected and all amenities were as listed. Great home, great neighborhood, and great owner. What more can you say? We definitely plan to return!

Kathy R.Girls Florida Getaway
I met my best friends from Duluth, MN for a Girls Getaway!! The property was definitely much more than I expected. The description said that they provide everything, just bring your clothes and some food. They were absolutely right. We arrived in the dark but walking in the house was warm and inviting. We had lots of choices as to where to sleep and once we were settled we went out to the pool and just relaxed. After a good nights sleep in comfortable beds we were pleasantly surprised to see all of the amenities we had not seen in the dark. the kitchen was fully stocked with all your cooking needs. A full size washer and dryer were available and then we made it out to the garage where there was bicycles, beach supplies, pool toys, and golf clubs. So after enjoying a relaxed morning by the private pool with a marsh behind us for more privacy,we went site seeing and there is plenty to see around the area. You are just minutes away from several beaches, small towns with lots of shopping, good restaurants with of course lots of sea food. Everyone was very friendly. The homeowners and their staff went above and beyond to make our stay the best experience!!! Of course spending time with my friends was the most important thing for me, doing so in such a nice environment made it even more special. We all plan to take another trip there as soon as we can.

Patricia L.Perfect Vacation Home
Our family spent 2 weeks over the holidays at Villa Frankonia and loved it. The home was fully equipped right down to the beach chairs and bikes. It is a beautiful home, very comfortable, in immaculate condition that suited our family perfectly. The 3 bathrooms were definitely a plus as was the heat with 3 people having to work from home it afforded us privacy and convenience. The owner was very accommodating with our special requests and always quick to respond to our calls. Great quiet neighborhood!
