| North Central Florida is sometimes called "The Original Florida," and was once the home of native Americans, Spanish missionaries, and whip-cracking cattlemen. Today, vacation rental properties do the region which extends east and west along the I-75 corridor, from the Florida-Georgia state line in the north to Micanopy in the south, and offers beach rentals, condo rentals, and villa rentals in such desirable locations as Gainesville, Cedar Key and Keaton Beach. Visitors always appreciate the well-developed network roads that connect easily to destinations throughout the region. If you prefer to explore off-road, North Central Florida has oyster reefs, salt marshes, and underwater meadows that stretch for 80 miles along the Gulf of Mexico. The shallow waters of Keaton Beach are perfect for youngsters while more accomplished swimmers can set out into the Gulf. Sharing this natural wonderland with people, are the Florida black bear and over 500 different animal species. The culturally diverse and socially vibrant regions of this area make it an ideal destination for tranquil solitude or non-stop action. Play a round of gold at challenging, championship courses in Gainesville and Silver Springs, or head over to Cedar Key, one of the oldest ports in the state, and an area known for its succulent seafood. North Central is rich in history and culture, with museums paying homage to such diverse subjects as baseball idol Ted Williams, the sport of drag racing, and the Florida's earliest residents. Once you've visited North Central Florida, you won't want a vacation rental, beach rental, condo rental or villa rental anywhere else. |
