Brand-new (2014) luxury villa with a waterfront, a boat deck and a heated pool

Spend your vacation in Florida in our little paradise under the palms, where sea eagles and turtles are still found!

Welcome to our brand new Splendid View Villa, so-called because of the view that you'll have from our property and pool in every direction!

Our house is situated right on a water crossing with access (with a rental boat) from our own dock to the Myakka river and then to Charlotte Harbour and the Gulf of Mexico. For boat travellers, there are public docking areas all over.

If you are looking for palm-lined peace and quiet by your own pool with a truly comfortable house environment on the one hand, and looking to be close to the beach and shopping on the other, then you've come to the right place!

Our villa is peacefully situated in verdant scenery with no immediate neighbours and not a lot of traffic.

Similarly, all the shopping and leisure facilities, as well as several different beaches, can be reached quickly.

Our villa, rebuilt to a the newest standards in 2014, has a floor area of 183 sq.m (1,966 sq.ft) including its garage. The property is 1,000 sq.m in size.

The house contains a foyer, a living room with dining area, a den with a sofa bed, and three bedrooms: the master bedroom with a king-size bed and direct pool access and the guest bedrooms with a queen-size bed each. There are two bathrooms; the master bathroom has a walk-in Roman shower and the guest bathroom has direct pool access. The fully-equipped, open-concept kitchen contains an oven, electric stove, microwave oven, dishwasher, and other kitchen appliances, as well as a granite counter with bar stools. The laundry room has a washing machine, tumble dryer iron, ironing table and beach towels, as well as a double garage for two cars (with a remote control for the garage door).

With its tray ceilings up to 5 metres tall in the foyer, living room, den, and master bedroom, as well as the open concept design, our villa has become very spacious and regal.

From almost everywhere in the house, sliding glass doors lead to the pool and the waterways beyond.

The floor of the entire house is tiled.

The cobbled pool terrace is protected from insects with a large pool cage, and contains ceiling ventilation and variable evening lighting. Also, there is an additional open-air terrace.

Our beautiful salt water pool has solar heating and a small waterfall, as well as LED lighting with changing colours, and an outdoor shower and a pool covering for when 'winter' comes.

There is also a large electric grill, a sizeable dining table with six chairs and two sun loungers.

From a private boat dock, you can take a rental boat all the way to the Gulf of Mexico, or just go fishing.

New full-HD flatscreen TVs with satellite connections and more than 190 channels can be found in the large living room, the den, and the master bedroom.

The house contains modern air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a modern home security system, a smoke detector, lighting with dimmers and beautifully-installed ceiling fans.

The entire villa is for the exclusive use of guests.

You can reach us by letter, fax, phone, or, preferably, by e-mail. Further correspondence then either continues with us, or for our American and Canadian guests, with our American friends who live nearby. A written rental contract is then signed, which contains all the essential details. On site, you will be greeted by our American friends, who will give you all the necessary information about the house, and will be your contact people in case of any problems.

With the most beautiful beaches of Florida, namely those along the Gulf of Mexico, it is perfect for swimming, snorkelling, gathering shells and fossilized shark teeth, as well as going on long walks.

In 30-45 minutes, you'll arrive at the fantastic beaches of Boca Grande, Englewood, Manasota Key, Venice, Nokomis, and Siesta Key, with the snow-white Siesta Beach and its quartz sands, which has been chosen several times as the best beach in the USA.

Our house is located between the quaint cities of Port Charlotte, North Port, and Englewood, which offer great shopping facilities and restaurants.

All the best-known large shops are located nearby, especially in the brand-new Cocoplum Village, just 10 minutes away in North Port, or in the nearby Port Charlotte Town Center, which has a large cinema.

The thermal waters of Warm Mineral Springs are also located nearby.

Golfers will get their money's worth at nearby and exclusive Riverwood Golfclub, among others.

Sarasota is just 45 minutes away, with its marina and the exclusive St. Armands Circle, as well as the brand new and high-class University Town Center.

Just a little further on, you will reach the Outlet Shops in Ellenton.

Or, an hour's drive to the south, past Fort Myers, you will find the Gulf Coast Town Center and the Miromar Outlets, or to the north, past Tampa to Busch Gardens. For something completely different, two hours away in the direction of Orlando, you can go to Disney World, Sea World, or Universal Studios.

A rental car is naturally necessary in the USA. If you don't use navigation systems, we will of course have road maps ready for you. You can park in the double garage right next to the house, or in front on the driveway.

Our house is furnished for six guests with no difficulty.
