Hi! We are a small family run 501c-3 wildlife sanctuary. We live on the property, and are available for any needs you might have. During your stay you will be able to see many exotic, and domestic animals. We also have at the sanctuary, and work with many critically endangered animals like the New Guinea Singing dog. Our sanctuary is located in one of the few hilly areas of Florida, with the Trilby Trails just minutes away.

It's a quiet and unique place. The breeze lodge is a livable fully loaded apartment. It was very clean and had everything you could possibly need. We were able to park our 25ft b class rv with no trouble at all. We didn't do a full tour but I saw peacocks, horse and my favorite ms. Piggy who lives out back she is super quiet and friendly possibly the best neighbor ever. The hosts are great the grounds are really pretty i love the Spanish moss that grows on the unique southern trees. You don't see that in the northeast. The white gravel road is great for walking, very scenic and not very busy with surrounding cow pastures.

Perfect low key weekend
Dieago's Cabin is what we actually stayed in and it was super cute! Donna and her mother were very sweet and attentive. We loved the animals and our stay. We plan to make this a tradition and bring our little one as well! Thank you so much for everything!

My stay here was great. It’s right next door to the horses. So, that was great. I also had a peacock, cat and the sweetest dog show up to say hi. The facilities themselves had a lot of features that I wasn’t expecting and were absolutely clean. I’d encourage anyone to expand their central Florida vacation beyond the corporate chain parks, restaurants and hotels. But, especially for anyone with an interest in animals this one’s a winner.

Fun weekend trip!
My husband and I had a great experience at Gulf Winds Wildlife Sanctuary. We arrived and were pleasantly surprised with a quaint and clean room. Dona is super friendly and was nice enough to give us a tour of the exotic animals. A quaint and cute Historic Downtown Dade City is only a 13 minute drive away and has several delicious restaurants to choose from! The purpose of our trip was to relax and that’s what we did.
