Hi Andrew

It is at Cape Haze, between Englewood and Port Charlotte:)I have had a few meals in that restaurant and they have all been wonderful[8D]Great photos Andrew:)

Frazer,
its on Gasparilla Island; one off the islands below Rotonda( about 10 minutes drive away.)

Thanks for that will look it up when where next over in August look really nice, and I bet you can't beat a meal on the beech

You are right Fraser and I hope to be eating there again in July[8D]

Hi Ruth

Look good what type of food do they serve. [?]

Thanks so much for all the tips everyone, i now have so many places i want to visit that i dont know how i will fit them all in! Is the area around Englewood/Rotonda/Boca Grand reasonably busy as somewhere to live permanently or better for just a relaxing holiday.

As we have in mind that we may end up out there we want to spend time in the places that would make a good home for us. We want to get a feel for the places and decide where to start looking for a business.

Marie,
Rotonda itself is about 95% residential not short term rentals.
