Area Description

Rotonda the town is made up of streets forming an incomplete wagon wheel. A closed, fresh-water canal system surrounds the outside of the "wheel" and travels inside each of the pie-shaped wedges forming the subdivisions of the development. A protected wetland to the south prevents development of that area. Alligators, bald eagles, great blue herons, egrets, and many other birds and animals inhabit the area.

Palm Cottage rests in the oldest and most-developed subdivision, Oakland Hills, once sported Ed McMahon as a home owner. In 1973, the inaugural edition of a television special called Superstars, featuring athletes from different sports competing in various events, was filmed in Rotonda.

Rotonda has a long history of ups and downs however, in 2005 it is one of the hottest SWFL areas to build in, with development escalating in nearly all of the sections and several new public golf courses.

Many of the homeowners are seasonal snowbirds from northern states and Canada and only live in the area part-time during the winter.

Rotonda is located towards the center of the Cape Haze peninsula and hasn't flooded in recent memory. During Hurricane Charley in 2004, it was located on the left front quadrant of the storm, and although the eyewall came within a couple of miles of the area, most homes escaped major damage.

Lots of unique independant restaurants. World class fishing in Lemon Bay and Boca Grande pass. Close to spring training Baseball games for the Tampa Bay team and even the Red Sox.
