This property was beyond what we expected! We have been to Florida many times and always spent time on the beach. While that is wonderful, it was nothing like staying at this gorgeous lake house, which is right next door to the Everglades. The bird life in our backyard was such an unexpected treat. We would spend each day with our binoculars looking at great blue herons, swans, egrets, and so many other amazing birds we don't typically see where we are from. One day, a giant wood stork flew over to me while I was reading a book outside and just hung out about 3 feet away! The Chapel Trail Nature Preserve was a few minutes down the road and we went there at least 3 times. There's also loads of good restaurants, lots of parks, alligator boat tours, and Flamingo Gardens and Butterfly World close by. We also took several day trips to the beaches. There's so much to do, and it was wonderful being able to do it all having this lake house, with a pool, as our home base. The area has everything you could possibly need!
We had our two children with us and the house was the perfect size for us all. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We LOVED the heated pool, and my kids even learned to finally swim while here!
Sarah was such a fabulous host and was very responsive whenever we needed anything. You will be taken care of if you book this property, that's for sure! I already miss it! Thank you, Sarah!!!
