Windermere has long been a quiet hide-a-way for British Royalty, former U.S. presidents, famous explorers like Jacques Cousteau, and regular folks—all going there to decompress and enjoy the beach. HoHum is a mid-century bungalow-style home that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape (and is literally on the beach). It has a 2-bedroom/2-bath main house and a 1-room studio/guest house, with 3rd full bath. The house features an open floor plan and easy one-floor living in a dreamy setting—overlooking a turquoise sea. HoHum is a simple beach house that is great for couples and families with kids. The main house features smart tropical design, including tile floors throughout, and high vaulted ceilings. All rooms and bedrooms offer ocean views and breezes through large picture-windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. The house has a large comfortable living room, big breezway with dining and sitting area, pretty kitchen, plus wrap-around waterfront patios for outdoor dining and sunbathing. The bedrooms in the main house are both spacious with full en-suite baths and water views. The 'master-bedroom' has a king bed, office nook area, and a large bathroom with double vanity sinks, bathtub/shower, and separate toilet (plus gated garden with outdoor shower). The 2nd full bedroom has its own oceanfront patio, 2 twin beds (easily convertible to king) and vanity area with sink, plus a separate bathroom with toilet, shower, & sink. The layout of the bedrooms also offers privacy for 2 couples sharing the house, as they book-end HoHum's living room, kitchen, and glass-walled breezeway. The breezeway's sitting area also has a (full-size) futon-sofa, good for kids or an extra sleeper. HoHum has 2 well-kept beach paths off both corners of the house. Paths also have 2 cold-water showers for rinsing sandy feet. HoHum is ideal for sunbathing, outdoor dining, and unforgettable sunrises and sunsets. HoHum's bonus studio/guest house also overlooks the ocean and is about 100-feet from the main house. The studio is a great remote workspace or can be used as an extra private sleeping space. It has 2 twin beds (convertible to king); its own patio and beach path; high ceiling; kitchenette (with minifridge & sink); and a small bathroom with sink, shower, and toilet. It was originally designed for use as an art studio, so it is an amazing place for painting and drawing, with lots of natural light, counter space, center island, and easels available. Note: “Windermere” is very breezy, so AC is not always needed, but HoHum only has AC in the 2 main house bedrooms and the studio. Other common rooms, like the main living room have ceiling fans. The Beach: HoHum is a haven for swimming and snorkeling. The beach is protected by a coral reef, so the water is calm and crystal-clear—especially great for kids. The sand is made from coral, so its powder-soft and cool to walk and play on at-all-times—it extends 5 miles for leisurely strolls & jogs. There is also a 2nd beach available to guests, called West Beach. It is just down the road on Windermere's sound side and is also nice for swimming and shelling, and often hosts Sunday beach picnics during high season (bar/picnic hosts accept cash & venmo). Please Note: because of HoHum's super-close proximity to the beach/water it does need some re-painting to weather-worn exterior areas (happening soon). Outside, the outdoor shower off master bath, plus the 2 beach paths showers are good (but one outdoor shower off 2nd bedroom is off/pending repair). Inside, the extra kitchen bar sink and a bidet have been disconnected (but you won't need or miss them). The house remains a gem, despite a few imperfections. HoHum is great for guests who appreciate a stylish shabby-chic home right on the beach (over more formal homes and those that require daily hot walks or car rides to get to the beach). If you are a fussy high-maintenance type, needing everything be five-star and brand new, then this is not the right property for you. But if you enjoy easy in/out beach access, having sunset cocktails on the patio, and playing cards & board games in the evenings with your kids—HoHum is the place for you. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Dock - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Climate control - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Gated community - Unit size: 2,750 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82380000/82372200/82372123/5053d453.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Private Home With Ocean Views, Short Walk to Beach & Club w/Pool, Tennis, Gym Windermere - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=82372123&PinnedHotelID=82372123&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32870000/32865600/32865591/4c9182e5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Grand Beachfront Estate on Five Private Acres w/ Kayaks, Hammocks, Snorkeling Double Bay - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.4 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=32865591&PinnedHotelID=32865591&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36790000/36787700/36787611/063db939.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Oceanfront Home with Dock, Kayaks, Private Pool Governors Harbour - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.0 Wonderful 40 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=36787611&PinnedHotelID=36787611&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33160000/33154000/33153956/58574ec7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Oceanfront Home on Caribbean w/ Sunset View, Boat Ramp, Kayaks, Pool!

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ho Hum is truly a magical place! My grandparents built this wonderful house back in the late 60s and being able to bring my family here and share this amazing place with them was a once in a life time experience. The house is still as beautiful and charming as ever and the beach is the just as private and spectacular as when I was a little girl.As my grandparents used to tell us when we would visit years ago, getting here isn't easy but if it was it wouldn't be so special.Being at Ho Hum is worth the effort to get there.The only thing you can do there is get relaxed!And that is what we did. We swam, snorkled at the reef (we saw sea turtles, rays, an octopus and lots of tropical fish) woke up to stunning sunrises, star gazed at night and simply slowed down.Ho Hum is island living at it's best. ##### Cicely Beston I.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our party of four, 2 couples, were warned by the booking agent that Ho Hum was tired, but we wanted to be on Windermere Island, as we knew the beach was magnificent. We looked forward to 3 relaxing weeks. Ho Hum is a magnificent home, with awesome views, and the interior is lovely, Had we been staying for only 1 week, we would probably have overlooked a lot of the numerous things that needed fixing, but over the course of 3 weeks, it is important that a house functions well. Then a horrible thing happened! Two rats and a mouse appeared in the master bedroom. We should have realized on our arrival that there were rodents in the room, as a chest of drawers was chewed around the top and bottom edges, we informed the caretaker, who sent over 3 live rat traps, by day 3 of seeing very obvious signs that rats were living in the room, we informed the agent, that we could no longer stay in the house, and we’d like our money back. The listing agent proceeded to find us alternative accommodation, while we went back and forward with the owner, negotiating how much of our money should be returned. The contract does not cover anything about rat infestation,which the owner pointed out to us, telling us she was in no way obligated to return any of our money, as we were choosing to leave. Finally she returned 2weeks plus1 day, and also returned our $1000 security deposit. There were so many thing damaged and broken in the home, it really didn’t seem reasonable to pay a $1000 security deposit. We did inform the caretaker on our arrival of all the things that were broken.My overal impression of Ho Hum is that there needs to be considerable renovations done on the house. At no time did the owner offer to send an exterminator to deal with the problem. This is a lovely house that has been allowed to slip into a state of disrepair, but with rats and mice lurking around in the bedroom and living room we had no choice but to leave. We lost 4 precious days of our vac ##### Colleen S.

The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A stay on Windermere Island is a treat, as a quiet retreat the Ho Hum House is tired. Clean enough, but beach houses near the ocean need upkeep inside and out: holes in bed sheets, kitchen appliances worn out or not working, no hangers or dresser in the second bedroom, outdoor showers non-existent although website indicated otherwise. Management, housecleaner and property manager very responsive, however. ##### cynthia f.

Reviewer Comments: The Gagnon family arrived a day late due to the our flight was in an hour late. We spent the night in fort Lauderdale. We finally arrived and were thrilled to see the breathtaking views of Ho Hum house. As our week went on we went scuba diving snorkeling swimming and beaching . The house was perfect for our family. We noticed that the house is getting a bit run down and needs some things fixed. We really did not care though because it was fun for us all. ##### maureen G.

Reviewer Comments: This home is private and the beach is the nicest we have ever seen. Location is A+. The home, staff and amenities get a B, but we would stay here again. Would bring more provisions, books and games the next time as there is nothing to do after dark and the bugs start biting at dusk. Views are magnificent! ##### chris t.
