For seven years, we’ve vacationed mostly on Florida’s Gulf Coast—Marco Island, Anna Maria, Siesta Key, Marathon, and Miami. This year marked our first long stay on the Atlantic side. It was delightful. The home we chose was a bit older but had been tastefully renovated for a larger group. With six family members, all over 25, we found ample sleeping quarters, a dedicated game room, and spacious kitchen and living areas—perfect for gathering or enjoying solitude. Outside, a tropical oasis awaited: mature plants framed a large pool, Jacuzzi, private seating, and deck space, complete with an outdoor TV for March Madness and a fire pit for cozy nights. Among the many homes we’ve stayed in, this one shines as the best. I’d happily return and recommend it to anyone seeking a true vacation escape.
