“Excellent Villa for Stay in Rotonda”
We stayed at this villa in March, 2016 for our annual spring vacation. We have stayed in many vacation homes over the years and this villa is definitely one of the top homes we have been to. Everything in the home is first rate and very convenient for everything that we wanted/needed to do. Groceries, shopping, beaches and golf courses are all a very close drive away. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend the villa to anyone.
Owner's reply: Hi Dave, thanks for your lovely review. I'm so pleased all your family had a wonderful stay at Glorious Gulf Villa. I am over the moon that you consider our home to be one of the top homes you have stayed in - that's a massive compliment thank you. Hope to welcome you back one day soon. Kind Regards, Victoria.
“Very attractive property”
Coast Villa is a really nice property. Excellent decor, very comfortable and a very nice location . I have rented three properties in Rotonda in the past 13 years and this was one of the nicest. Wi-fi. DVR are a real plus. Rental on the gas grill a new one.
Owner's reply: Many thanks for your lovely review. I'm so pleased you had such a great stay and we are honoured that you consider our villa as one of the nicest you have stayed in. WOW! Such a nice compliment. You are considering re-visiting us again next year - we would love the opportunity to welcome you back so you can take advantage of our Guest Loyalty Discount (a small token of thanks for repeat business). PS. Just wanted to let you know that we didn't charge you anything for the gas grill :)
“Amazing house, amazing time”
What a beautiful home! What a great area! What an amazing time my family and I had. This house has a great pool and nice backyard, very clean and stylish, very quiet and private area, close to the beach, forest preserve and all the stores. This is a newer area with beautiful homes around it, we had a blast and will definitely come back. Victoria is great and made our booking and stay very pleasant and comfortable. Thank you so much!
Owner's reply: Wow! Thank you Anastasia for your lovely review. I'm so pleased you had an amazing stay and I'm thrilled I could help make the booking process and smooth as possible for you. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back sometime soon :) Kind Regards, Victoria x
“March vacation”
The home is completely relaxing and beautiful. Located in a quiet area of Rotunda. We golfed and viewed the area with a short visit from our daughter and family. Best Dolphin trip was on a boat from Englewood Beach. Home has everything you need and more. Lots of information for things to do. Read previous guests comments to see other things to do and see. Victoria is great to work with and very helpful.. Enjoyed our trip very much would highly recommend this home.
Owner's reply: Hi guys - thanks so much for your wonderfully positive feedback. I'm so happy you had a brilliant stay at our Glorious Gulf villa. I'm also pleased you managed to take advantage of the Golf Package! It really means a lot of us that you have provided a good recommendation for other potential Guests to come stay with us. Hope we can see you again one day. Best wishes. Victoria.
“Lovely home in a great location.”
This home was very spacious, clean and well kept and the pool was wonderful to have and very safe for small children with the security fence. The area surrounding the home was very safe and surrounded by other high end homes. Would highly recommend to families or groups due to the many lounge areas, you will never feel crowded.
Owner's reply: Hi Jess & Family - thanks for your review. I'm so glad you had a wonderful stay in our Glorious Gulf Villa. It's great to hear that our open-plan layout with various lounge areas gave you the space you needed and worked well for your family. I know from the detailed comments you left in our Villa Visitor book that you were very lucky to see some amazing wildlife during your stay which is always a real treat. Hope we can welcome you back one day! Kind Regards, Victoria
“Home away from home”
We were lucky enough to escape this ridiculously cold winter and spend three weeks in this villa. The area was perfect for what we needed! Rotonda is a very residential community, about 20 minutes from the beach. There is a prk in the neighborhood which our son loved. Groceries were about 5 minutes away which wa very convenient. The villa itself is lovely and lives up to the pictures. Comfortable enough for adults to enjoy, but not so "decorated" that I was worried about our kids breaking something! We paid to have the pool heated, although I think something changed as the second half of the vacation it felt significantly colder. They have installed a child safety fence around the pool which was also nice for us. Kitchen had adequate supplies to cook with (typical rental house quality, bring your own knives!). Overall we had a great stay and would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to get away somewhere warm who doesn't require being right on the beach!
Owner's reply: Hi Heather & Family - Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. Great feedback is so important to us as Owners, and incredibly useful for anyone thinking of booking our villa. I am so glad our villa lived up to your high expectations and you all had a wonderful relaxing time. I really hope we can welcome you all back one day in the future. Kind Regards, Victoria. PS. I'm getting the kitchen knives renewed as we speak!!
“Peaceful”
This is our second time at this villa and it is a great,place to sit back, relax by the pool and take in all that beautiful Florida sunshine in. Would recommend this villa and the area for anyone wanting to get away from the every day hussle and bussle. The house and property is well kept nd very clean. Has all your ammenities!

Brand Family (Holland)
We have just arrived home from a wonderful holiday in your villa. We very much enjoyed staying in your beautiful home. You have a really nice house with such a nice atmosphere! The weather was good, we enjoyed the pool very much and even managed to play several rounds of golf as well which was great. We really enjoyed our stay and have great memories of spending Christmas 2007 in your beautiful home.
Ringle Family (USA)
We had a wonderful time and would definitely love to come back and bring our girls. You have a beautiful home. LOVE THE DECOR! Your taste in combining comfort and class is very impressive! We felt welcomed, accommodated and the private pool was that extra pampering that we needed. We want to re-book for next year please!
Harney Family (Toronto)
A simply wonderful vacation. We absolutely loved our time spent here. So relaxing - just what the doctor ordered! You have a gorgeous villa. Love the open plan concept. In fact, we stole a few ideas for our own home!! The kids loved the pool and we all took advantage of the lovely beaches.
We will definitely come back and will recommend to our family and friends.
Greenaway Girls (Coventry UK)
We have an absolutely fantastic time in your beautiful villa, thank you. We did not want to leave! We shall definitely recommend you to our family and friends as I am sure they would love it as much as we did. It was a pleasure doing business with you and hope to go out again.
Bentley Family (UK)
We really enjoyed our stay in your villa and we found all the facilities you provided were excellent. Thank you for making the process of renting your villa very straight forward - your service and attention to detail were first class.
Kiely Family (Lincolnshire UK)
Firstly, can we just thank you for sharing this lovely home. I can honestly say it is the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. It has been a real treat. I have already recommended you to all our family and friends. Thanks once again, and we wish you luck for the future.
Harper Family (Scotland)
We have stayed in many many villas in Florida and yours is without doubt THE BEST! The location is ideal for beaches, town/shops and attractions especially idyllic Boca Grande and beautiful Sarasota. It is not surprising to read other comments from Guests in your Visitor Book which are all so positive and full of praise; so they should be! We will most certainly return - we cannot recommend your villa highly enough and will confirm to all that it truly is "Glorious Gulf Villa"
Kalinowski Family (Northants UK)
We had a fantastic time! Your villa is absolutely lovely and exceeded our expectations. We would be more than happy to provide feedback or a reference for you as we could not have asked for anything more. The weather was perfect, beaches idyllic, food mouth-watering, plenty of activities but lots of opportunities to relax. You and your family have obviously put a lot of thought into creating such a lovely home - I think you have thought of everything.
We have visited Florida many times and your villa is definitely at the top of our list. We have been thoroughly spoiled and could not have had a more perfect holiday.
Hall Family (Bucks UK)
Thank you for our Christmas and New Year stay in your fabulous home. We cannot describe our delight when we arrived at your house! Your villa is absolutely beautiful and we couldn't agree more with the other people who commented that it was amazing to find somewhere that was even better in the flesh than on the web! The area was fantastic and we fell in love with Bocca Grande. You will definitely be hearing from us again!
Riordan Family (UK)
"What can we say!!!"
Villa is absolutely stunning. Location, location, location!!
Well worth the drive from Orlando. Birds, raccoons, gators and fish all watched every day from the fishing dock and the pool. Shopping at Ellenton Mall is equal to the shopping at Orlando. Port Charlotte is great, the beaches at Englewood and Boca Grande (especially) all stunning and equal to any Caribbean beaches we've been to.
Stunning, all-in-all a fantastic holiday and can see us coming back to visit in the future.
Dewar Family - UK
Many thanks for the opportunity to stay at your wonderful villa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and the wildlife was an added bonus. The villa itself was one of the best we have stayed in over 25 years worth of holidaying in villas across America & Europe.
We are quite picky about where we stay and rarely go back to the same villa twice. However, we would have no hesitation in returning to your villa if we were to travel South again. I have already been recommending your villa to my friends, family and work colleagues.
White Family (UK)
Thank you, we all had a great time in your beautiful home.
The wildlife in particular was amazing, we all really just relaxed and enjoyed the laid back luxury your villa offered. We couldn't have asked for anything more.
Blyton Family:-
We would just like to say we all had a lovely time in your villa. It was like home-from-home. The children lived in the pool. The beds were so comfy and the peace and quiet bliss. Thank you for such a trouble-free booking from start to finish. We really do appreciate it and we would definitely book again.
Jagger Family:-
Thank you for a wonderful stay and what a beautiful home you have! It really was a pleasure to stay there. It's so nice to go to a holiday home that has so much attention to detail and everything such good quality. We would love to return one day!
Paul & Kendra:-
What a beautiful, quiet & relaxing home you have...just what the Doctor ordered!
A great place to sit back by the pool and enjoy the wildlife and most of all sunshine. We enjoyed the places you recommended to shop and visit and of course golf. Your villa information binder and all the notes around the house made things very easy upon our arrival. We will recommend this villa to others and would definitely stay again.
Buffington Family (Danbury- Connecticut):-
Dear Ms Brodie, I arrived in your home on Thurs.
Well, I want you to know I was blown away!!
What a nice place - it is so nicely decorated & is so comfortable.
Bunker Family (Ontario):-
Your villa was great. Everything was perfect for us. Everything was first class. We completely enjoyed out stay. We had one small issue near the end of our stay but your Management Company came right over and fixed the problem in minutes. Perfect!”
Ashwin Family (Bristol UK).
We enjoyed a fantastic week at Glorious Gulf Villa. Victoria provided detailed instructions about everything which were very helpful.
The villa is in a beautiful setting and we found it very peaceful. We enjoyed fishing off the villa's dock, under the watchful eye of the alligator!
We were lucky enough to catch Catfish, Florida gar, Bass & Blue Gill.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this villa and would hope to return one day.
B Jacobs (Illinois)
Simply said…”It’s perfect!”
We are having a wonderful stay at your home here. You have thought of everything to make it that way.
We found the home in good order and very clean, this was especially welcome. Thank you!
We enjoyed the privacy this home has provided as well as the setting it has given us to entertain our friends in style. It truly has been the perfect home for us to have chosen.
