A great stay on the east coast! Super close to downtown Titusville and nearby to anything you may need. The skylight was awesome. It was perfectly tucked away and thoughtfully designed. We will have to come back and stay again!

1 night at Runaway Bay Lodge
This is a great spot! Incredibly relaxing and full of fresh air. I loved laying out on the deck, fishing, and having a safe place to spend the night with nature on the other side of the door. The site comes plenty of amenities (hot shower, window AC units, indoor plumbing, stovetop burners, microwave, and fridge among other things).
The owners have done a great job decorating the place, making functional and comfortable living spaces, and are just genuinely nice and sweet people. I had a great time and will be back!

What a piece of 'old Florida' paradise! The cabin was absolutely perfect for a quiet, unplugged weekend. Highly recommended!!! The cabin has everything you need to make modest meals and the beds are comfy. We especially enjoyed the sweet cat, fireflies at night, reading on the dock, and watching the ducks bathe. We are definitely going to be back! Side note - the dock was pretty shallow when we were there (water is low in general right now), so I would check with Christina about your boat draft before booking with your own boat.

2 nights at Moonwake on Drayton Island
My husband and i have birthdays within a couple weeks of each other and decided to celebrate them at Cristina’s property. The WiFi password hints at getting off your devices and we took that advice to heart. Naps, reading, walks/exploration, bike rides, wild animals, farm animals (including the friendliest kitty), sunsets, and sunrises was the prescription and the Waterfront Island Bungalow delivered. On top of that, Cristina and Ed were gracious and welcoming hosts. If you are looking to relax and unplug, this should be your destination. We’ll be back.

2 nights at Moonwake on Drayton Island
This was an outstanding experience. The hosts are kind, intentional, and organized while the cat, goats, ducks & chickens fill out an ensemble cast. It isn’t exactly an “old Florida” vibe but both Publix & Whole Foods are over an hour (plus a boat ride) away. Amaze your followers with the words “secluded cabin on a private island” but be prepared to bring your own mimosas and canapés.

2 nights at Moonwake on Drayton Island
What a unique and cozy stay! The hosts were incredibly friendly all around and had no shortage of fun activities to recommend to us. Since the venue is on an island, we took advantage of their water taxi service, canoed around the waters, lounged around the farm animals, ate some fresh eggs, and biked through the scenic forest. Also, they invited us to join them for new years celebration, how neat! The cabin is fully furnished so we just had to bring food and clothes. The days went by too fast; definitely want to visit again.

This island cabin was truly a magical experience. The cabin itself is gorgeously decorated, comfortable, and scenic. The animals on the property are charming and add such a layer of fun. The hosts are readily available but give space for your own adventure. I had a perfect trip there with my two children and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again! Perfect combination of remote and exciting but cozy and safe.

The farm is absolutely gorgeous, I stayed there with my dog and we had a great time. The tree house is beautiful, cozy, and clean. The morning views were breathtaking and the outdoor shower was a nice treat. Perfect place to disconnect from the outside world and come back home to yourself.
