For my mother's 75th birthday, she asked to celebrate in nature and you can't get any closer to nature than Everglades City.
I was attracted to this property because of the number of bedrooms - plenty of space for four adults - and the suite upstairs was perfect for my husband and I with the separate bedrooms with a shared bath were perfect for my mom and uncle. The size of the kitchen with the island breakfast table was an evening social gathering space for conversation and celebrating.
The theatre seating with the large movie screen is super comfy and provides excellent entertainment variety which is great for stormy Florida afternoons. Add in the perk of a swimming pool, great for a swim after a morning on the water, exploring the Ten Thousand Islands.
Lastly ... the convenience of the docks was THE BOMB! As for the host, Duane ... when I had questions, I was able to text and get a response within minutes. This made for a stress-free weekend.
