Beaches, trails, theme parks, and the little local secrets — the real, nearby things to do around each Travel DRD home, plus free three-day itineraries built by the family who hosts you.
From Florida's Gulf and Treasure coasts to the Great Smoky Mountains, every home sits minutes from a full week of things to do. Pick a place to start.
Florida
Boca Grande and Placida reward slow family days: Gulf beach time on Gasparilla Island, the historic lighthouse area, the bike path, and boat access to Boca Grande Pass when weather allows. Stay in Placida at Seaside Boca so the group can reset at a private pool and mini-golf between outings.
Florida
Orchid Island is old-Florida quiet — oak canopy, an unpaved historic road, a shipwreck you can snorkel from shore. Vero Oaks puts you three blocks from the beach and two from the Jungle Trail.
Tennessee
Pigeon Forge is where a theme-park morning and a mountain-trail afternoon fit in the same day. Our two Smoky Mountain homes — Pigeon Hills and Waters Edge Lodge — put the Parkway, Dollywood, and 800 miles of national-park trail within minutes.
Florida
Estero sits between Fort Myers and Naples — minutes from Gulf beaches, mangrove kayak trails, and championship golf, with Sanibel's shelling and Edison's winter estate close behind. Estero Escape is reopening soon; the area, as always, is ready.
Reserve any home in the collection and we'll email you a beautifully laid-out set of three-day itineraries for your destination — Fun, Thrilling, Relaxed, and Nature. Real activities, real distances, ready to print.
