Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort

By Gabby Gregory

Zachary Taylor Waterfront

Looking for a quiet weekend getaway complete with scenic waterfront views and endless recreational activities? Look no further than Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort in Okeechobee!

I had the opportunity to speak with Larry and Trisha D., a married couple from Martin County, who recently stayed in one of the 12 furnished cabins at Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort. They described their experience as “very nice and relaxing,” and expressed their excitement to return in the future with their children and extended family members.

Let’s hear what else Larry and Trisha had to say about Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort:

“The views of the water were absolutely breathtaking,” Larry recollects, “and being nestled in the heart of nature, seeing the native flora and fauna up close and personal, was incredibly refreshing.” He and Trisha arrived at the resort on

their motorcycle on a Friday night, settling themselves comfortably in their professionally cleaned and meticulously maintained cabin, and were amazed to find that their stress quickly disappeared. The cabin was furnished and stocked with everything they needed, so Trisha explains, “We really only had to bring our clothes and toothbrushes.”

Larry and Trisha took a short walk through the spacious resort and out onto its lighted 100 ft. pier to enjoy a sunset that Trisha describes as, “remarkable.”

The next day, Larry and Trisha took a morning motorcycle ride on the paved roads of the spacious resort, relishing the ½ mile of waterfront views as they passed the 211 full RV hookup sites, large recreation hall, fenced dog park, concrete boat ramp, horseshoe pit, general store, and other attractions. After taking in all that Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort has to offer, the pair explored the Okeechobee

community, enjoying a hearty Southern breakfast before checking out some of the charming local shops. Afterwards, they took the recommendation from the friendly and knowledgeable management team to take a local company’s airboat tour of Lake Okeechobee.

“We saw all types of different birds and there were a few gators, which was neat. It was a great suggestion for something to do. The wildlife was really beautiful,” remembers Trisha.

Larry adds, “Yeah, we felt like we had the concierge experience. It was nice”

The two finished their day back at the Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort, taking a dip in the enclosed, heated swimming pool before cooking up some burgers on one of the resort’s outdoor barbecue grills. “We forgot condiments,” Larry relates, “but we solved that problem easily just by visiting the resort’s community store.”

“We left with more than just that though,” Trisha admits, “they have gifts and things there too…”

“Oh yeah,” Larry laughs, “we just had to get t-shirts.”

The next morning, the two went for a sunrise hike on the Florida Scenic Trail located directly across the street from the resort (Trisha’s idea). “The views were so incredible,” recounts Trisha.

Then, the couple sat on the lighted pier again, this time to do some fishing (Larry’s idea). “The lake really does have the best bass fishing,” affirms Larry.

Later, the pair challenged one another in the resort’s indoor shuffleboard court, then again out at the horseshoe pits. “I won both games,” says Trisha, as Larry shakes his head in response, just outside her line of sight.

Larry and Trisha’s active day ended with a different sort of excitement. They spent the evening at the Seminole Casino Brighton, which is conveniently located just 30 minutes West of the resort. Trisha exclaims, “It was a blast!”

When Monday morning came around, Larry and Trisha were disappointed to have to say goodbye to Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort. Their weekend went by “way too quickly,” and as they watched the “spectacular waterfront views, peaceful scenery, and welcoming RV and outdoor community” grow smaller in their rearview mirror, Larry and Trisha promised one another that they would return for another mini-vacation.

“We had an unforgettable experience. It was a wonderful spot for a quiet, romantic weekend away from the kids,” says Larry.

Trisha heartily agrees with her husband, and adds, “The resort and the surrounding community also have plenty of things for our kids and family to do, so we plan to come back sometime around Thanksgiving. Some of our relatives have RVs, so it’s the perfect place for us all to come together to enjoy a different side of South Florida and to really appreciate the beauty here while we’re in each other’s company. Plus, their rates are very affordable, especially compared to the other

resorts on the coast. Zachary Taylor Waterfront RV Resort is really like… the best adventure!”

For What It’s Worth

Ok, so here’s the latest scoop on the medical situations regarding my last several columns, having to do with inability to get to a doctor from Cleveland Clinic in a timely manner. Yes, for those of you who insisted I name the dreaded hospital that I was writing about, it is, in fact, Cleveland Clinic. e reason I am now going to put a name to the place is because I was invited by Dr. Singh, the President of Cleveland Clinic to have a meet and greet this a ernoon. Just when you think you know how your week is going to go, wham, a personal invitation to speak with the president himself, who read my articles and wanted to talk. Okay, so I’ll admit I was nervous, anxious, worried, but also armed for bear in the event that he wanted to minimize the situation, but in fact, surprisingly, he was caring, open to suggestions, and transparent with regard to how Cleveland Clinic took over Martin Memorial North and South, and what he strived for going forward. I was impressed, and I’m not easily sold on lip service, but between him and the head of Patient Experiences, Karen Ludwig, who was also present, it was apparent that he knew and understood the frustrations the general public has been experiencing getting seen by a physician in a timely manner.

I have to give him credit. His information was forthcoming, addressing my concerns, sometimes even before I had

by Dr. Melfi, Ph.D.

the chance to list them. Also to his credit, he was young-ish, a physician himself, and has only been the president of the hospital for one year. In that year, he and Karen had an earful of complaints and they had plans to address all of them by way of hiring almost 60 new physicians, twice as many nurses, and ongoing training for those people on the front lines, who take the calls and make appointments. I was shocked, in a good way. He never tried to make excuses, nor did he make false promises. He said getting things turned around was not going to happen overnight, but he does strive to make this hospital the best it can possibly be, within a reasonable amount of time. He is there to speak with, to read emails, and to even give out his cell phone number (No, sorry, I can’t pass it along, lol) but from what I understand, he has done that frequently to others as well.

He loves this community, he loves this hospital, and he loves medicine. He is not one of those people who sits in their ivory tower, having no pulse on medical practices. He wants to do better, and promises he will do better, but this is what he has been handed, well, that, and the pandemic, which has seen the resignation of good nurses and doctors who no longer wish to expose themselves and their families to infection. I get

it. Much as I loved hospital nursing, I have asked myself many times if I had stayed in nursing, would I quit? I feel like the answer is a hard “no” but it’s easy to say from the sidelines, and not in the midst of potentially deadly chaos.

My point is this. He wants things to change, and he has ideas to change them, many of which it is not my place to share. I came in with a list of suggestions, but before I could get my ideas out of my mouth, he already verbalized them. We were on the same page! So, the bottom line is this.

For What it’s Worth, he’s young, he’s enthusiastic, he wants to make things better, and he wants Cleveland Clinic, Stuart, to be exactly what we all want it to be, a place we can trust with our very lives. Let’s be fair and give him time to get it together. If I was a gambler, I think I’d put my money on him.
