Camp Margaritaville's newest RV resort location in Auburndale, Florida — about one hour from Orlando — has a collection of 60 on-site cabana cabins to house vacationers who don't have a RV …

… and they're the perfect family friendly combination of a tiny home, extended stay hotel, and Airbnb.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville currently operates three "casual luxury" Camp Margaritaville locations in Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida.

Brittany Chang/Insider

But this could soon change: The hospitality empire wants to open 30 to 50 more RV parks throughout the US over the next five years.

Brittany Chang/Insider

The Margaritaville-branded chain obviously targets the growing RV market ...

Brittany Chang/Insider

... but this doesn't mean you have to be a RV traveler to experience the Parrothead RV lifestyle.

Brittany Chang/Insider

All three locations have accommodations designed for visitors who don't own a tiny home on wheels.

Brittany Chang/Insider

While the Georgia location has mountain-like cabins and the Tennessee resort has a similarly cozy lodge …

… Camp Margaritaville in Auburndale, Florida has tropical tiny homes fit for its warm lakeside location.

If you've dreamed of sipping on a tropical cocktail while lounging by a lake …

Brittany Chang/Insider

… or an activity-packed family vacation with your young children …

Brittany Chang/Insider

… Camp Margaritaville RV Resort and Cabana Cabins has the amenities you may be looking for.

Brittany Chang/Insider

The cabins start at almost $195 a night. This price includes access to the park's amenities including its two pools, dog park, and children's water play area.

Brittany Chang/Insider

It's an activity-packed resort but the "cabana cabins" feel like a personal and quiet reprieve from the rest of the property.

Brittany Chang/Insider

The units make up the perimeter of the RV camp, which began welcoming guests in January.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Small palm trees, shrubs, and pebbled parking spots separate the seemingly never-ending row of 60 neutral-colored cabins.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Every unit comes with a parking spot and picnic table.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Think of the cabana cabins as a downsized but cozy Airbnb that can sleep up to six people.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Let's head inside where you're immediately greeted by the kitchen and living room.

Brittany Chang/Insider

The living room has large windows, a wall-mounted television, a sleeper couch, and a narrow table with several seats.

Brittany Chang/Insider

The door between the television and couch leads into the back deck …

Brittany Chang/Insider

… complete with two lounge chairs and views of the surrounding trees and your nearby neighbors.

Brittany Chang/Insider

It's the perfect place to catch up on some reading or to enjoy your morning cup of Margaritaville coffee.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Like all tiny homes, the cabana cabins are open concept: The living room opens right into the kitchen.

Brittany Chang/Insider

But unlike most small cabins, it's surprisingly spacious.

Brittany Chang/Insider

It has all the amenities of a typical home kitchen and is larger than the ones I've seen in New York apartments.

Brittany Chang/Insider

There's a microwave, oven, stovetop, sink, dishwasher …

Brittany Chang/Insider

… blender, toaster, refrigerator, coffee maker, and all the utensils and cookware necessary to cook and serve a full meal.

Brittany Chang/Insider

And we can't forget about the margarita reference in the kitchen's decor.

Brittany Chang/Insider

It wouldn't be a vacation cabin without kitschy Marshalls-esque decorations.

Brittany Chang/Insider

The cabin has no dining table apart from the kitchen island seats.

Brittany Chang/Insider

So if you're looking to make some home-cooked meals, you'll have to enjoy an al fresco dinner on the picnic table outside.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Back inside, the refrigerator is situated across from the kitchen towards the start of the hallway.

Brittany Chang/Insider

A small daybed runs the remaining length of this hallway …

Brittany Chang/Insider

… and is located opposite the bathroom.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Like the kitchen, the space looks like any typical bathroom.

Brittany Chang/Insider

It has all the basics including a toilet, sink, and shower with a glass door.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Back out and down the hall is the only bedroom in the cabana cabin.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Inside, you'll find the closet, a king bed …

Brittany Chang/Insider

… a ceiling fan, a television, and large windows with sweeping views of the road and adjacent RVs.

Brittany Chang/Insider

There's only one bedroom, but you still have the hallway bed and pullout couch.

Brittany Chang/Insider

If you have a full party of six people, you'll probably end up in one of the cabins with a bunk bed.

Brittany Chang/Insider

Regardless of the layout and size, these Margaritaville tiny homes have everything your typical full-sized home has.

Brittany Chang/Insider

There are more than enough amenities for a weekend or weeklong vacation.

Brittany Chang/Insider

But if you're retired, on an extended vacation, or working remote, you'll be allowed to stay on the property for up to six months.

Brittany Chang/Insider

The resort's amenities — like its pool with a water slide, mini-golf course, and playground — make it a fun family-friendly reprieve from bustling cities.

Brittany Chang/Insider

But if you'd rather spend your time outside of Auburndale, Camp Margaritaville's proximity to Orlando, Florida makes it a decent option for theme park enthusiasts who want their accommodations to feel like a destination.
