Holiday Builders will be building new construction homes in this cool, rural town, so stay tuned! For now, visit us at our Sales Centers in nearby Port St Lucie or call 321-610-5208 for more information until our Okeechobee sales center is completed. Okeechobee is the Gateway to South Florida with convenient access to both coasts and all of Central Florida. Strategically placed along the northern rim of Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s “inland sea,” the city of Okeechobee offers visitors an old-fashioned – and truly relaxing – Florida vacation. Lake Okeechobee is the largest freshwater lake in the state of Florida! It is so large that you cannot see across it, which gives an ocean feel. Fun fact – all five surrounding counties meet at one point near the center of the lake! The town provides a convenient access point to the Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail. The lake and its shores offer boating, freshwater fishing, hiking and biking. If you’re looking for a friendly, rural, small-town community, you’ll feel right at home in Okeechobee! Okeechobee has a vibrant business district but has an old time feel – on the 4th Saturday in July they have the ‘Day of the Cowboy’ event, which includes a cattle drive through town! How fun!
