It is a beautiful lake home property & they have everything you need in the kitchen & a grill for cooking meals, which was important since we weren’t going to do daily runs into town to eat at restaurants. We would love to rent again when we could actually enjoy lake activities, instead of spending most of our time inside. They were very accommodating to offer to let us spend extra nights if needed because of the hurricane. The property is gorgeous with deer running across the lawn, sand hill cranes walking around on the property, a resident hawk & bald eagle! ##### Michelle Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [DiamondHead Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-DiamondHead-Beach-Resort.h200632.Hotel-Information) > - [South Seas Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-South-Seas-Island-Resort.h40732.Hotel-Information) > - [Tropic Sun Towers](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Tropic-Sun-Towers-By-Capital-Vacations.h1169627.Hotel-Information) > - [Hammock Beach Golf Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Hammock-Beach-Golf-Resort-Spa.h994170.Hotel-Information) > - [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > - [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > - [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Resort Panama City Beach by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Panama-City-Beach.h18867.Hotel-Information) > - [Sarasota Surf and Racquet Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Sarasota-Surf-And-Racquet-Club.h9728448.Hotel-Information) > - [White Elephant Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-White-Elephant-Palm-Beach.h42412055.Hotel-Information) > - [The Resort on Cocoa Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-The-Resort-On-Cocoa-Beach.h329971.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > - [Mission Resort and Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Leesburg-Hotels-Mission-Inn-Resort-Club.h2057662.Hotel-Information) > - [Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort by Resort Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > - [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > - [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > - [Cedar Cove Resort and Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Cedar-Cove-Resort-And-Cottages.h8099611.Hotel-Information) > - [Amrit Ocean Resort and Residences - Singer Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-Amrit-Ocean-Wellness-Resort.h36247449.Hotel-Information) > - [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Fort Pierce West by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Vero-Beach-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Fort-Pierce-West.h538557.Hotel-Information) > - [The Ben West Palm, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Ben-West-Palm.h38983694.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Vacation Club Daytona Beach Regency](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Vacation-Club-Daytona-Beach-Regency.h40772.Hotel-Information) > - [The Shores Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-The-Shores-Resort-Spa.h15752.Hotel-Information) > - [Zota Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Zota-Beach-Resort.h15703469.Hotel-Information) > - [Tideline Palm Beach Ocean Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Tideline-Ocean-Resort-And-Spa.h1985.Hotel-Information) > - [Casa Del Mar Longboat Key](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Casa-Del-Mar-Longboat-Key.h15602940.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information) > - [PGA National Resort ](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > - [Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Anna Maria Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Compass-Hotel-By-Margaritaville.h41961327.Hotel-Information)
