We stayed in the cottages of Lake Sumter and one of them had wood floors, either the Rose or the Snowbird. Friends that stayed with us said they were engineered floors with the real wood surface. They look absolutely beautiful, and I wood think that they wouldn't have put them in them in there if they weren't going to hold up, since they were using them for lifestyle previews at the time. They looked like the same style we saw at Lumber Liquidators that are made by Virginia Millworks, with the hand hewn look and wide planks. You can see them on their website. While they aren't solid wood, the top layer is, and I would think that they would be more resistant to the moisture and humidity and bug resistant too, although I am certainly not an expert, far from it. Our plan is to remove the carpet and install it in the non-bedroom areas when we move down full time. I know Fred Nickle tile does a lot of the flooring for TV, maybe you can call and ask for their opinion. Good luck!
