About the host
Hosted by Mike murphy
I am a born and raised Floridian living in southwest Florida my whole life. The Everglades is a very special place in this island is probably one of the most special places in the whole state. It’s nice to be able to offer it to other people to come enjoy like I have with my family over the years.
Why they chose this property
With growing up in Florida as a Floridian, being surrounded by the natural nature of what our state has to offer in the Everglades is one of the only places in the world. It’s also one of the places to where you can be basically in the middle of nowhere and then in one hour and either direction you could be in Naples, Fort Lauderdale, or Miami, some of the biggest cities in our state, so there’s literally everything to do
What makes this property unique
What makes his property so unique is that it’s actually a private island located in the middle of the barren river in Everglades City surrounded by the Everglades National Park no other place like it in the world it’s a very special place. You can look out your window at any time see manatees Alligators, all types of wildlife. Some of the best fishing in the world is right out your back door.
