Super cute place with an awesome host!

The place was wonderful! Very clean and our host brought us a bundle of groceries. Nice romantic setting, though would also be ideal for a family with kids as it was spacious. Comfortable bed. Overall 5 star experience!

Okeechobee rental

The home was great except, being a fisherman there wasn't a fish cleaning station on the dock. The pool was advertised as having a screen enclosure. Trip was shorter then expected.

Best VRBO stay ever

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The property was everything described and more. The owners thought of everything. The property was clean, maintained, very well supplied, and in a friendly community with access to anything you might decide you needed within 10 minutes. We really needed a getaway from life stress, and found it here. The owners could not have been more helpful or accommodating before and during our stay. Would recommend for adults or families 100%.

Guys fishing trip

The house was very clean and well maintained. Plenty of space and the owner went out of her way to make sure we had plenty of poles to use to fish with when we wasn’t with our guide service. Definitely will be a repeat customer.

Fantastic Stay

We throughly enjoyed our stay in this house. It was convenient to restaurants, shopping and the boat ramp. It was probably the cleanest and well-stocked house we’ve ever rented. Barbara was so easy to work with and available to answer questions and help if needed. Much better than a hotel!! We will be back in December.

Spacious home

The owners are very responsive. Anything we needed they promptly responded and resolved. The 2 bedrooms are very large, one has bunl beds in it with another large pull out bed in living area. Lots of different areas to hang out with family. The pool was plenty big for our size family. Some pool toys available and we also bought some extras at the local dollar store. Everyone loved sitting and fishing off the covered dock. The owners left lots of snacks and goodies for the family which was super sweet. We would definitely stay again

Great place

Great place for three family with kids and dog. Plenty of sleeping, storage space. This is great vacation property - nearby Walmart; farmers market). We had our boat so we use the boat dock. Great view for canal with lots of birds - pelican, cranes .... Kitchen - coffee maker, lots of plates, bowls, utensil - not so much cups for coffee, tea. We visit - Everglades NP, Biscayne NP, Legoland, Jensen Beach, Jupiter Beach .... The worst for us was weather - we cant use pool - not heated- water was cold.

Fishing Vacation

Barb, our host is awesome. When we arrived we were met by a delivery of groceries, fruit, snacks for the kids, water. That was a pleasant surprise. This is our second stay at Taylor Creek. We will definitely come back again. There have been some improvements made to the property since our first visit. There were 5 adults and 2 children. We had ample room for all. The home had everything we needed for our stay. The only thing we missed was the fish cleaning station that was on the dock for our first trip. Many thanks to Barb for providing us a great place to stay. Thanks, The Corkern’s

Awesome home base for fishing Lake Okeechobee and the canals

July 7th -19, 2021 The house was great for our fishing vacation. We had 5 adults and 2 children ages 5 and 9. There was enough room to accommodate all of us comfortably. The kids loved the bunk beds and the toys in the room. We especially loved the boat dock. We caught chiclid, perch, catfish and Oscar right from the dock. The grand kids said they had “Robber Fish” cause they kept stealing their bait.😄 The pool was an added bonus after a hot day fishing. I want to give special thanks to Barb for the ice cream birthday cake and decorations. Our grand son was so excited when he saw them. Thank you The Corkern’s from Louisiana

PERFECT VACATION HOME

Our experience was very wonderful. The home is spacious, clean & well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The owners were very kind & thoughtful, making sure that we were all comfortable. My husband & I stayed here with our family ( 6 total) for the weekend to have a little elementary school graduation party for our 11 yr old grandson. When we arrived at the property, the owners had left a small, "Thinking of you Grad" gift for him. So sweet! We had the best time ever fishing in the canal, off the dock of the house. The dock was beautiful, it was covered & had a very nice patio set. It had a fish cleaning table with running water & a full size refrig filled with cold, refreshing bottled water to drink. We spend time in the pool, which was clean & the perfect temperature. They even had pool inflatables there, we had a blast trying to ride the blow-up chicken! :) There was a golf cart at the home, we took it for a spin around the neighborhood & also a full size grille. We would love to go back again & again. Perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Iderosa

Host profile image
My husband is a mechanical engineer working on equipment that goes into space, and he is also a church pastor. We run a small, Christian school, food and clothing pantry, thrift store, and benevolence program for people in the Glades communities. Our church is small, but we give out over 500 boxes of food every week in our small town of Pahokee, FL. I am the principal of our school and earned my bachelor's and master's degree in New Jersey. We both grew up at the shore - he is from CT and I am from NJ - and we love the water.

My husband and I have guardianship of three grandchildren, ages 17, 15, and 10, and we have seven grown children; one is a professor in technical theater at a local university, and one of our daughters is an elementary school teacher in Palm Beach County. Our blended family began 20 years ago with two boys and five girls.


In the past, we have rented other places along the eastern seaboard with our children and had wonderful times with them. We always had fun, and we are here to help you have fun in Okeechobee. We live 30 minutes away from the property and have a son who lives in Okeechobee; so, if there is ever an issue, we are right there to get it taken care of quickly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We will get back to you quickly.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home for our retirement (but not sure we will ever do so). Even so, our grandchildren enjoy the pool and the water - fishing and boating - as well as playing on their phone (ugh!). It is relaxing to get away from it all. And, since we are not able to use it on a regular basis, we thought we could share it with others who are in need of a peaceful place to relax as well as enjoy the scenery. It's a great place to write a book! The neighborhood is quiet (except for our grandchildren) but filled with friendly people. Lots of the neighbors are only down during season. We like it because we can get here in 30 minutes and not have to spend hours traveling with children who continually eat, need to go to the bathroom, and want to know, "Are we there yet?"

What makes this property unique

We both grew up on the water, so this is a place we can afford. We love the pool. We love fishing off the dock. We love the ambience of the water. It is even a nice place when it rains because we can go out to the screened porch, play games, and not even get wet! We love having the whole city of Okeechobee just three minutes away from the house yet not feeling like we are in the city. Of course, Okeechobee is not crowded like Miami, but for people who like to be outdoors, this is a great place to vacation. Rent a pontoon boat; take a ride on an airboat; have a captain take you out fishing; visit Lion Country Safari in Loxahatchee about 45 minutes away; take a day trip to Orlando and enjoy all its amenities. Certain times of the year, you can watch a rodeo in person, wait for Santa Claus to come down the street, or visit the thrift stores and craft stores all over the area.
