Best for

This property suits travelers seeking a quiet, waterfront home base for fishing, kayaking, and low-key outdoor recreation, thanks to its lagoon-side setting and on-site fishing dock.

Travel tips

A car is recommended, as many of the area's attractions -- including Downtown Fort Pierce, Pepper Park Beach, and the Fort Pierce Jetty -- are several kilometers away and best reached by road.
