Travel DRD has hosted families since 2007, with a few homes chosen with care rather than many. Seaside Boca is a Key West-style pool home in Placida, minutes from Boca Grande, and was featured on the Emmy® Award-winning series Staycation. Vero Oaks sits three blocks from the beach on Orchid Island. Pigeon Hills and Waters Edge Lodge are log homes in the Smokies near Pigeon Forge. Every one sleeps 10 to 12, so three generations or the whole friend group fit under one roof, and every one has something for after the beach or the trail: putting greens, hot tubs, infrared saunas, game rooms, fire pits.
The Collection
Two on Florida's coasts, two in the Smoky Mountains. Each sleeps 10 to 12.

Dream.Rest.Discover.
Family-owned vacation homes on the Gulf, the Atlantic and in the Smoky Mountains, each sleeping 10 to 12, with private mini golf, pools, saunas and game rooms.
Three of our homes have a private putting course in the yard. It is the amenity guests write about more than any other, and the reason the kids never ask what is next. Clubs and balls stay with the house: nothing to rent, nothing to book.
Three generations under one roof, or the whole friend group finally in the same place: what to know before you book.
Evenings in the Smokies
The plunge pool lit blue, the fire pit going, the cabin glowing behind: Pigeon Hills after dark.
Add to your stay
Services you can add to your stay
Want more than the house? These open right after you complete the online check-in form. You book and pay the providers directly; we set none of their prices.
I'm Nicolas, and I'd love to welcome you personally on your next stay. Book with me and you pay only 50% upfront, with the rest due 15 days before check-in. A free bottle of wine and a welcome basket will be waiting for you, and late checkout is free on request.
Eighteen years in, the thing we are most sure of is the least sophisticated: families do not get many of these weeks. Kids grow, schedules diverge, grandparents get older. The number of times a whole family sits at one table is finite and smaller than anyone thinks. That is the entire job — make the week work so that the people in it can pay attention to each other. Compare the prices, then book with us. Or skip all of it and just call. Eighteen years in, we still like that part best.

From families who stayed
This place has everything to entertain you (and teenagers if you happen to have some). Ground floor is like an amusement park, backyard with more games. If your goal is just hang around and rest, the backyard has a covered lounging area by the pool. The best comfortable beds. It is a great place for a multigenerational family like ours.
Sandra, Seaside Boca
The house and the grounds are in mint condition and VERY clean. The hot tub and cold plunge pool are amazing. The hosts thought of every amenity including coffee and espresso pods, a generous welcome basket with snacks and wine, extra pillows and bedding, laundry and dishwasher detergent, bikes, games, you name it.
