At ground level, there is a fire pit, tiki hut, and tree trunk seating. The mid-deck has a hot tub and double outdoor shower, and the upper deck a swing seat and table.
The treehouse can accommodate two adults, and the Superhost owners of one of the most unique Florida vacation rentals provide a golf cart for guests’ use during their stay.
Amazing, right?
