—Whether you want to enjoy the tropical garden, swim in the pool, go fishing, take a boat ride, relax at the house bar, or grill at the BBQ area, outdoor living is possible here in almost any weather.
The two huge covered terraces and the tiki hut by the river offer plenty of space.
Whether it’s breakfast by the water, a light snack at the high table, lunch on the “front porch,” a sumptuous dinner on the pool terrace, or an ice-cold sundowner at the house bar.
The choice is yours!
As mentioned, the house has two large, fully covered terraces (totaling approx. 80 m²).
There are various seating options available.
There’s a large dining table on the “front porch” and another on the pool terrace. You’ll find another table in the tiki hut by the boat dock. Each dining table has 6 chairs. There’s also a high table with three chairs in the BBQ area, which is equipped with a 5-burner gas grill. Enjoy your favourite drinks from our “Florida-style” ice cooler at the super-cool Tiki Hut bar, which has 3 bar stools.
There is one lounge chair by the pool and two lounge chairs in the Tiki Hut, each with cushions.
The house is located in a small suburb near the “Ortona Lock” ship lock, which belongs to the town of Moore Haven but is actually closer to the beautiful little village of La Belle.
Here, far from the hustle and bustle of Florida’s tourist hotspots, you’ll experience the state in a whole new way.
Surrounded by orange groves and cattle pastures, situated right on the Caloosahatchee River and Lake Okeechobee, you’ll be staying where real cowboys still roam.
Nevertheless, you can reach all the shops you need for daily necessities within 10–15 minutes. The nearest Walmart Supercenter is only about 20 minutes away.
The “Ortona Tavern” is less than a 5-minute walk away—or you can reach it by water, paddling a canoe—and invites you to enjoy homemade food, ice-cold beer, karaoke, and live music.
You’ll find more restaurants, tiki bars, and even a brewery in La Belle, among other places.
We’d be happy to provide you with more tips on “where to go.”
Start your Florida discovery tour right from here and venture out in all directions.
Fort Myers and Cape Coral are just about an hour away.
It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get to Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Island.
You can reach Palm Beach, with its beautiful Atlantic beaches, in just over 2 hours.
It takes 2 hours and 45 minutes to get to Disney World in Orlando.
It takes 2 hours and 15 minutes to get to Miami, and 5 hours and 15 minutes to reach Key West.
The house is well sheltered from the sun in the shade of tall oak trees.
These trees provide the best possible protection even during storms, wind, and severe weather. But the location itself—right in the middle of Florida—also offers the best protection against tropical storms and, of course, hurricanes. In addition, there is optimal protection from the water side against, for example, flooding, since this section of the river is sealed off in both directions towards the ocean by locks. This is one of the reasons why we chose this property.
