Why guests love it here
The details that make the stay
A pool you can swim in all year
The private outdoor pool is open 24 hours, every season, 7 feet deep at its deepest with steps at the shallow end and pool toys ready to go. It sits inside a fully fenced, exceptionally private backyard full of native and exotic plants.
Room for the whole group to gather
The open main living space feels far bigger than the footprint suggests, with a dining table by the front windows, an updated kitchen stocked to cook and eat, and a coastal-themed living room with a large sectional and a 65-inch TV. Off the back, the light-filled Florida Room has windows on three walls and doubles as extra office space.
Evenings around the fire pit
The backyard has a fire pit ringed with seating, a wraparound deck with more seating, a BBQ grill and outdoor dining. Mature palms, fruit trees and tropical plants make it feel screened from the world, and yes, you are welcome to eat the tropical fruit.
Set up for working from Florida
Bamboo House has a dedicated workspace in a private room with a monitor, surge protector and printer, plus fast wifi verified at 75 Mbps for streaming 4K video and joining video calls on multiple devices. It is a genuine home base for remote work, not an afterthought.

This place was perfect! 8 of us needed a couple of nights before a cruise. Ben and Lisa were great. I even messaged him at 4:30 am, thinking he would answer when he woke up, but he responded right away. Highly recommend.

Appropriately named, Island Oasis. Reminds me of the home I grew up in on MI. The hosts were very thoughtful in keeping the palms and poinciana as if the house was placed amongst them.
