The Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve is a stunning 30-acre national park and botanical garden, and the capital town, Governor’s Harbour is a short distance away with a great selection of bars, restaurants, and shops to enjoy.
Fodors review:
“Pineapple Fields is the perfect base for a disappearing act; hole up in one of 32 condo units, each with front and back verandas, a full kitchen, and a living room with pull-out queen sofa. Washers and dryers in each unit are especially handy for families and visitors who aren’t planning to leave anytime soon.”
