About this property

Family Retreat by the Pond


  • Welcome to our secluded oasis nestled on a sprawling 5-acre estate, where tranquility meets adventure. Ideally suited for families or groups, our charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home promises a getaway filled with relaxation and outdoor excitement you may never want to leave. If outdoor living is your calling or more room is needed, we offer primitive tent camping; please inquire.
    Situated amidst lush greenery, our estate boasts a picturesque, fully stocked 1.6-acre pond. It invites you to indulge in kayaking and fishing adventures right at your doorstep. Imagine spending lazy afternoons on the water, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature.
    Our property is a treasure trove of activities for those who crave outdoor adventure. Explore natural surroundings by hiking or getting lost in the beauty of bird watching. After a day of excitement, unwind with a barbecue feast at our large built-in smoker while children swing, play games, and let their imaginations soar. As the sun sets, gather around the campfire for smores and storytelling under the twinkling stars.
    Our estate is not only a haven of relaxation and adventure, but also conveniently located. Just a short 20-minute drive from downtown, the Jaguars and Jumbo shrimp stadiums, it's a breeze to catch a game. And with several beaches within a 25-minute drive, you can easily enjoy sun-soaked sands and endless ocean views. Plus, being just 14 minutes from the airport, your travel arrangements are a cinch.
