This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason E. Feb 7, 2024 #### Paradise Found We stayed after Christmas at Lavender Life in Saint James City. We loved this area. Not your typical strip mall Florida. It is a beautiful island with tons of restaurant and bar options, but no chain restaurants. There isn’t even a traffic light on the island. We loved getting in the provided kayaks and exploring the mangrove trails, hidden lagoons and wildlife. The fishing gear for guests was a big plus. I even caught a few small fish that were hanging around the fish light. We traveled for the first time with our infant. Having a porta crib was helpful for us. The house is brand new and had everything that we needed. They provided spices and grilling supplies as well as coffee, tea, toiletries, laundry and dishwasher pods. This was the relaxing getaway we needed. We plan to come back with our boat to take advantage of the dock and explore Pine Island Sound and the Gulf. ##### Jason E. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Singer-Island-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Marriott-Singer-Island-Beach-Resort-Spa.h449170.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachside Hotel & Suites Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Beachside-Hotel-Suites.h4995.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Hotel Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Colony-Hotel-Palm-Beach.h8074.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral, FL](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1489240.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Walk Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Ocean-Walk.h598390.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort by Southern Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Best-Western-Cocoa-Beach-Hotel-Suites.h18029.Hotel-Information) > > [PGA National Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Port-Canaveral.h15605.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Resort at the Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Radisson-Resort-At-The-Port.h4692.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Key RV Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Key-Hotels-Fiesta-Key-RV-Resort.h4578886.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Village at Weston, Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Vacation-Village-At-Weston.h1062880.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Beach House, Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-Beach-House.h857962.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information)
