VRBO Bear stayed here - 05/06/2004
My buddies and I were looking for nice accommodations in Central Florida and found this great home inside a quiet gated community on one of America's top 100 golf courses - Southern Dunes. The house was more than roomy enough for a bear and his friends. A private pool in the back made this home even more enjoyable. Worried about Florida insects? Never fear, as the pool and surrounding patio are completely screened in, with two sliding glass doors providing easy access and an open atmosphere when relaxing in the home's beary comfortable sitting and dining areas.
Haines City was a perfect location for this bear, very close to Disney World, even closer to Cyprus Gardens, and more than close enough to Tampa where you'll find additional attractions and beautiful beaches to keep you busy. If visiting in the spring, nearby Lakeland hosts Sun-n-Fun - one of the largest air shows and aviation events in the in the US.
Be sure to keep the clubhouse in mind for a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner, where you can enjoy good food in a comfortable atmosphere with great views of your friends honing their driving skills on the driving range or working on their short game on the practice putting greens.
