Clean, well stocked, tec. Just everything you could want. And still has great Dolphin viewing and sunsets from the veranda. And plus 10 to Glass Casa property management. Nice, friendly, knowledgeable, friendly. ##### A guest from Centerville, MN ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Ocean Florida Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Ocean-Florida-Villas.h8377171.Hotel-Information) > - [Crystal Cove Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-ACO-FUN-4-Bed-SINGLE-HOME-1527.h38219149.Hotel-Information) > - [Ocean Drive Studios Beach Front](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Ocean-Drive-Studios-Beach-Front.h69628551.Hotel-Information) > - [\*NEW\* The Sunseeker's Retreat with 2700 sqft villa and large lanai area and pool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Davenport-Hotels-NEW-The-Sunseekers-Retreat.h57763919.Hotel-Information) > - [Flow Hotel Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Flow-Fort-Lauderdale.h70330603.Hotel-Information) > - [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > - [Villatel Orlando Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Orlando-Resort.h97584899.Hotel-Information) > - [The Shire at West Haven 101](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-The-Shire-At-West-Haven-101.h35790310.Hotel-Information) > - [Watersong Resort 339](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Watersong-Resort-339.h36111950.Hotel-Information) > - [The Gates Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-The-Gates-Hotel-South-Beach.h41414.Hotel-Information) > - [Sanibel Moorings Condo Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Sanibel-Moorings-Condo-Resort.h576616.Hotel-Information) > - [Daytona Grande Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Daytona-Grande-Oceanfront-Resort.h61630218.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury 6 Bedroom Villa on Reunion Resort, Orlando Villa 3479](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Luxury-6-Bedroom-Villa-On-Reunion-Resort.h48555244.Hotel-Information) > - [Radisson Resort Miami Beach ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Radisson-Resort-Miami-Beach.h44891320.Hotel-Information) > - [Canal Grande Waterfront 6 Bedroom Holiday Home by Naples Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Canal-Grande-Waterfront-6-Bedroom-Holiday-Home-By-Naples-Florida.h16897565.Hotel-Information) > - [Champions Gate Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Champions-Gate-Resort.h14593168.Hotel-Information) > - [Secret Escape](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Charlotte-Charlotte-Harbor-Hotels-Secret-Escape.h38290161.Hotel-Information) > - [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Monreale Express and Studios IDrive District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-SonoHotel-IDrive-Orlando.h22452.Hotel-Information) > - [Miami Vacation Rentals - Brickell](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Miami-Vacation-Rentals-Brickell.h27595928.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Cabana Miami Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Hilton-Cabana-Miami-Beach-Resort.h18107.Hotel-Information) > - [Hilton Vacation Club Charter Club Naples Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-Charter-Club-Resort-Of-Naples-Bay.h41486.Hotel-Information) > - [Park Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Hotel.h1784873.Hotel-Information) > - [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > - [City Express by Marriott Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites-Near-Universal-Orlando-Resort-Convention-Ctr.h543949.Hotel-Information) > - [Bella Vida Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Bella-Vida-Resort.h14592479.Hotel-Information) > - [Sanibel Arms West Condominiums](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Sanibel-Arms-West-Condominiums.h1490342.Hotel-Information) > - [Two Bedroom Luxury Superior Villa, Orlando Florida (1948975)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Two-Bedroom-Luxury-Superior-Villa.h50345176.Hotel-Information) > - [Song of the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Song-Of-The-Sea.h35501.Hotel-Information) ---
