Nearby attractions include the Ellie Schiller Wildlife State Park (a must-see in our book), which showcases our most famous residents – manatees. It includes a beautiful nature walk with a zoo-type area that includes wildlife that has been rehabilitated but cannot return to the wild. You’ll see eagles, owls, river otters, foxes, flamingos, deer, panthers, alligators, snakes, and believe it or not, a hippo, just to name a few. There are plenty of opportunities to go out on scalloping boats, fishing boats, sight-seeing boats, and “swim with the manatees” boats. You can also rent your own boat. We also have a local golf course, parks, tennis courts, basketball courts, a dog park, and even a pickleball facility.
Our favorite theme park, Busch Gardens, is in Tampa, which is about an hour and fifteen minutes south. And of course all of the Orland theme parks are about an hour and forty-five minutes away (Disney World, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, etc.). The Kennedy Space Center is about 3 and a half hours away, in Cocoa Beach.
While this is small town, there is still a variety of options for delicious dining and unique shopping.
This is truly “Old Florida,” and many of the places are family-owned small businesses. It’s so casual and laid back, you can go pretty much anywhere wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops. There’s no “night life” per se, so you would likely spend evenings having fun at home.
Please note this property is not wheelchair-accessible, is not child-proofed, and includes many stairs, steps, and uneven surfaces – not to mention the fact that it’s directly waterfront without a lifeguard or protective fencing. There are no bathtubs -- both showers are walk-in, although one has a handheld shower option. Also, please note that depending on the tides, the house and neighborhood can flood several inches. The house does not flood, but the dock, breezeway, driveway and sometimes the street can flood. This is the case with many properties in this area. Also, anything you put outside can and will blow away!
The area comes alive during summer and scallop season, and is fairly quiet the rest of the year. Depending on your preferences, there is a perfect time of year for you to visit. Reserve your time now and see for yourself!
