Welcome to Rotonda West – a peaceful, planned community situated near the beautiful Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida. It is located mid-way between Sarasota and Fort Myers. The community is predominantly full-time homeowners and their families, as well as tenants and those who winter in the community.

There are five golf courses operated by Rotonda Golf and Country club. Thirty miles of picturesque canals, lakes and ponds wind through the community and offer fishing and boating opportunities for its residents.

Many exotic and beautiful birds call Rotonda West home, as it is a designated Bird Sanctuary. Nearby recreation facilities, beaches, theaters, sporting events, and fine restaurants are available for all.


The weather usually stays relatively mild. In the summer, it's not uncommon for temperatures to get into the mid-90's, but this is tempered by sea breezes from the Gulf. At night in the summer, temperatures quickly drop to the low to mid 70's. In the winter, hard freezes are rare, but occasionally occur. It's more common to have frost on the ground briefly in pre-dawn hours, but it melts shortly after sunrise. This usually only happens 2 or 3 times during the winter. Temperatures average 50 - 70 degrees during the winter. On a sunny winter day, it's rare for the temperature to stay below 50 degrees for long.

Summer thunderstorms are not uncommon. Florida is known as the lightning capital of the world. The dry season is in the spring.

Comments Taken From Guest Book & Letters

Beautiful Home
Thank you Tony and Lynne for shring your beautiful home with us. I have been visiting Florida for 35 years and yours is our favourite house to date. We loved the peace and quiet and privacy of your pool area. Being nature and animal lovers (2 dogs and 3 cats of our own) we have so enjoyed seeing the bobcat in the backyard and most early evening we've enjoyed waiting for Mom, Dad, Baby and Grandpa wild pigs to appear. I have only seen one of your blue jays but have seen many cardinals. We hope we're able to visit your home again and again in the future.
Thank you!
PS Loved the little elephant in the bedroom, so cute!
GuestsJerry & Shirley Nelson, Kaukauna, WI USA stayed at Blue Jay in April 2010.

Excellent Villa
Excellent Villa, has every facility you could want. The location is fantastic and would be perfect except for the bugs, although a bit of repellent scared them away! Saw alligators, turtles, wild boars and many birds close to the villa. Also saw lots of dolphins on the beach at Gasparilla Island. Thanks!
Guests: The Rutherfords, Lincolnshire, UK stayed at Blue Jay in April 2010.

Wonderful Stay at Blue Jay!
Our family had a wonderful stay at Blue Jay. The 2 kids (2 & 4) only rarely ventured out of the pool! As well as the infamous hogs, we saw 2 bobcats (or the same one twice) which was a treat. Spring training baseball game (Rays vs Pittsburg Pirates) was fun day out. Still plenty more to explore so we may be back . . The Villa was perfect for us with lots of details thought out. thanks

We Had A Wonderful Vacation Here!
We had a wonderful vacation here - enjoyed the house and pool very much - it's lovely. Weather wasn't bad - just a bit cooler than we had hoped for. The only wildlife we saw were the hogs - the three-legged mangey one did a job digging up the front lawn. The golf was great at Long Marsh. We had some excellent meals around and about - especially liked the Pig & Whistle. We went there 3 times - all terrific! Take out pizza from Joe's (Publix Plaza) was a mistake. Other than that, all was great.
Guests: Jill & John Skinner, Stratford, Ontario, Canada stayed at Blue Jay in March 2010

Back Yet Again!
Back yet again! Another lovely stay albeit that the weather was mixed. Not much wildlife about but did see George Bush Snr, Ged Bush, Barbara and Laura on Boca Grande. Jimmy Carter was also seen. Some good photos to prove to the folks back home! Regards:
Guests: Beverley, Julian, Sam, Jess & Pipp Lindfield, stayed at Blue Jay December 2009 / January 2010

We Feel So Lucky!
We feel so lucky to have been able to stay at Blue Jay again! We have had a wonderful 2 weeks. The weather has been unseasonably hot - 31 degrees most days. We discovered the 'Egg & I' for breakfast in Englewood - very good. Also went to the Fisheries Restaurant (Placida) Great Views - and they have their own pier. The food was good too! We went to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - unfortunately they lost - but great atmosphere.
We've enjoyed exploring shopping, eating, swimming, but most of all the wildlife. The birds, gators and dolphins swimming at Stump Pass Beach - absolutely fantastic.
Guests: Paula & Ian Gorst, Spalding, Lincs, UK stayed at Blue Jay in October 2009

A Perfect Place!
We enjoyed the house a lot with its pool. Perfect place to take trips all around Florida. We will like to come back. Lots of greetings from
Guests: Bob & Inger Marie, Per Christian and Adreas Trondheim, Norway stayed at Blue Jay in July 2009

Wonderful House!
Thank you for renting this wonderful house to us. It is in a pristine condition, everything is spotless. You trained all the animals to show up around the house, but not in the house, perfect. We loved the Links Golf Course and the Long Marsh Golf Course very much. Our favourite course was the Myakka Pines Course. We tried some restaurants and can recommend the following :
Johnny Leverocks for Seafood
New Faull Inn for Pizza (take out and eat at home to enjoy tranquility).
Farlows On The Water for the food and the music in the garden.
The team from Homesearch with Hugh and his colleagues was very helpful, they read our wishes from our eyes! Thanks. We hope to come back!
Guests: Peter and Sybille Schuen, Germany stayed at Blue Jay February 2009, 2010 and already booked for February 2011!

Another Fantastic Stay!
Another fantastic stay we had in your lovely home, and settled really quickly and started where we left off in 2008! Golf courses recommended. Other good courses, Boca Grande, Heron Creek and Oyster Creek. Good food at Mam's Italian restaurant, and Denny's for breakfast. Good shoppin at Bealls and Mirama shopping centre. Saw a Bobcat with a kill in its mouth and wild boar together with various birds!
Guests: Gary & Sally Slaymaker, Bob & Cathy Judd stayed at Blue Jay in November 2009
