When it comes to Florida hotels with a view, we have come across six that have provided wonderful stays for us.
The Prestige Hotel
The first would be our latest visit. The Prestige Hotel at Vero Beach had a wonderful view of the grounds, to the beach and all the way to the Atlantic. From our balcony we could see the...
July is Ice Cream Month, so we decided to celebrate with a trip to the Venice Avenue Creamery in beautiful downtown Venice. Formerly known as Bresler's, this was a great find. As their sign says, "It's the same folks with a different name."
They told us that they have been serving up premium hand-dipped ice...
In Spanish, Punta Gorda translates to "Fat Point." We have visited "Florida's Harborside Hometown" on several occasions. Perched at the convergence of the Peace River and Charlotte Harbor, it's a large promontory point, that gives the city its name.
Punta Gorda offers plenty of different little neighborhoods that provide opportunities for shopping and sightseeing. Marion Street,...
We recently stayed again at the Edison Beach House in Fort Myers Beach. It was of little surprise when we looked at our Twitter feed, and saw that they had been selected as a Top 10 Florida business. The designation came from "Florida's Top Recommended."
From restaurants to hotels and even real estate agents, their...

Recently we took a litte trip to the area of Venice and Nokomis. Never having been there before, we were surprised and delighted. There's a great variety of things to see and do, as well as a wide array of great places to dine.
It all started out when we found The Hotel Venezia....
Those who follow us know we always are looking to get the best deal on our hotel and we found the Holiday Inn Boca Raton North really fit the bill. Our plan was to combine a business outing with a vacation. We searched the Treasure Coast and found this place on TripAdvisor.

For some time we had heard about the legendary shelling at Sanibel Island but it was not until recently we packed up the Funmobile and headed out to see what the fuss was all about.
Mrs. Funmeister had done the requisite due diligence and found us overnight accommodations at the Castaway Cottages so that we would have a place to...
