Wake up at the crack of dawn and after gathering your things with a Christmas morning-like feeling of anticipation. Open the door and take a look at the stunning view from your patio, just to be sure it’s real, before heading out to do what you came here to do. The only problem at hand is which of the three paths to take; which one of the three professionally designed, breathtaking, convenient-to-your-front door golf courses will be the first to receive the pleasure of your company? Decisions, decisions…



Port St. Lucie, Florida is known for providing golf enthusiasts with a little slice of heaven. This relaxed and relaxing town on the central Atlantic coast is all about showing travelers a good time, especially those with a taste for swinging clubs and putting their days away. After a few hours spent on one of these superior pieces of sweet green land, you won’t even care if your game is looking great or just so-so. The feeling of playing in the Florida sun on facilities fit for the pros will be enough to make this trip a hole in one.

Many people choose to stay in a town home or condo within the PGA village so that the role of golf can be given its proper due in the scheme of this vacation. When it’s time to golf, it’s time to golf, and serious players don’t mess around. Begin the day with a cup of coffee in a breakfast nook overlooking the vast, exquisitely manicured property. Set out for a few holes or a full day’s worth of amusement, remembering the ease with which you can return “home" at any time. This will surely be the most convenient lodging situation you’ve ever had, and we haven’t even talked about the inside of it yet.

A full kitchen, TV and DVD player, washer and dryer, barbeque grill, big closets, linens, soaps, and a sofa bed just in case will all add elements of immeasurable comfort to your stay and infuse this getaway with a sense of home. It’s hard to get very attached to a place that isn’t your own, but your Port St. Lucie vacation rental will sure try its best to make you put up your feet, eat and sleep in a state of true ease.

Nearby is a swimming pool (the same could be said of any place in Florida) and of course the beach isn’t too far away. When the golf game is done it’ll feel wonderful to immerse yourself in the salty sea or a cool pool, or even your very own hot tub back at the house. Lounge around with your fellow vacationers, soaking in the sun and smiling at the fact that you haven’t checked your email in longer than you can remember. And you know what? You just don’t care.

Now an important issue must be addressed; not everyone in the world likes golf, including the people you may be traveling with. Or, not everyone, yourself included, feels the need to make that addictive game the sole focus of this trip. It’s a good thing that Port St. Lucie is a versatile location. Golf a little, a lot, or not at all, but you’ll probably be at least tempted to engage in one of the other pleasant diversions calling out to you.

Nature lovers will be intrigued by the options. Rent a kayak for an up-close-and-personal eco-tour, follow a guide towards a prime viewing spot for manatees or dolphins, train your binoculars on an exotic species of bird, or comb the beaches for a souvenir from Mother Nature. All of these activities will enrich the trip and provide fun for those who’ve never touched a golf club in their life.

Furthermore, shopping, dining, water sports, tennis and much more are well within reach of your Port St. Lucie Vacation Rental, wherever it may be. They are located away from the golf courses as well (don’t worry – not too far away) and will keep everyone in touch with whatever it is they have come here to do. That’s the beauty of a place like Port. St. Lucie; it makes everyone who visits feel like they’re being personally entertained, and it’s all made better by the presence of dozens of accommodating vacation homes.
