Vacation, Seasonal, and Long-Term Rentals

What makes our vacation rentals in Southwest Florida, Ocala and Western North Carolina unique is that every area has something special to offer. Trade a cold, gray, blustery winter for a sun-kissed, palm-fringed beach, horseback riding over rolling green hills, or a quiet mountain escape. Our agents — and our concierge, right on this page — can help you find the perfect place to land, whether you prefer a seasonal rental, a long-term rental, or want to purchase a vacation home of your own.

Sanibel and Captiva Islands are famous for white sand beaches and a serene, slowed-down pace — visit and learn what island time really means. Fort Myers and Bonita Springs are laidback, affordable tropical Florida towns; Fort Myers Beach brings lively nightlife and live music, while Bonita Beach is the quieter gem. Naples is known for its shopping, beaches, dining and art scene. Cape Coral, one of the area's newest cities, is laced with interconnected navigable canals — easy to find a rental home with a view — and sits conveniently between Bonita Springs, Fort Myers and the Islands.

Ocala, in Central Florida, is surrounded by beautiful horse farms and ranks among the equestrian capitals of the world. Golden Ocala offers stables, equine care, lessons, horse trails and sport training, and the World Equestrian Center is minutes from our rentals in the Golden Ocala Golf and Equestrian Club.

Cashiers, Highlands, Sapphire Valley and Lake Toxaway, our Western North Carolina vacation properties, sit near the North Carolina–South Carolina border. They are charming small mountain towns, and the peaks and waterfalls around them speak for themselves in terms of natural beauty.
