Disney and Universal need no explanation, they all have something for all the family to enjoy.    Busch Gardens is a unique theme park by Florida standards and is a 2 hour drive. It’s home to some of the best rollercoasters in the world while also being Tampa’s largest zoo with over 200 species of animals, many of which are endangered.     Englewood offers excellent shopping, outlet mall shopping and live music next to the beach or in town.  If you don’t fancy the excitement of what some consider Florida to be best known for, then Southwest Florida is also home to a diverse ecosystem of wildlife. From turtles nesting on the magnificent beaches, panthers and bobcats live in the protected areas of Rotonda and gators have been known to laze on the banks of the waterways around Rotonda. If you are lucky you may see dolphins playing just offshore at any of the local beaches where you can also hire boats, kayaks, jet skis, and take fishing trips out into the Gulf. It is possible to walk on the beaches from Englewood to Venice, approx. 20 mile of glorious white sand.   There are manatee trips to view these graceful creatures. A boat trip to Key West is also possible from Fort Myers and a wonderful opportunity to experience the US’s most southerly point. The Everglades are also within easy reach by car and an airboat ride is a must not miss experience.    Then when your days are over you can return to the spacious solar heated pool overlooking the golf course that the villa backs onto and watch the sun set, usually with a stunning array of colours.  The pool area and patio will get the sun most of the day and a sun downer watching the sun set is a daily delight.    This home is pet friendly. A non-refundable pet deposit of $200 is required. BBQ provided and WIFI. One month minimum during winter, owner would prefer a 3 month booking.
