I cannot say enough about this gem of a place. It is Old Florida at its best. The staff are wonderful and the rooms are clean. The grounds are tidy with seating to sit and enjoy looking at the bay. They have the spring fed pool that is fun to swim in. We bring our kayak and can tie to the docks. It is so relaxing. The restaurants and shopping are just a short walk. There are many walking/biking paths and you can even walk/bike to the Three Sisters Wildlife Refuge from the lodge. If you are looking for a family friendly place to just relax, enjoy the water, and seeing wildlife, this would be a perfect place.

This property reminded me more of an air bnb style rental with a small full kitchen and all the amenities needed. Very quaint and quiet. Plenty of clothing storage if you plan on staying longer. My only suggestion would be hooks inside the shower for washcloths/bathing suits but also on the walls for hanging towels. We ended up using the hangers from the closet and hanging in the shower. The covered docking area was a little tricky to navigate and our boat got scuffed a little bit with the tides but nothing major. Well worth the money and convenience of local dining, shopping and night life, and to be able to include the boat on our staycation getaway. The ramp is down the road and can pay to park trailer in the property behind the hotel.

Love the large clean room with 2 recliners and a couch. Handy to have a kitchen with dishes and utensils, stove and a large refrigerator with an icemaker. You can walk right out your door and go sit by the water and enjoy the view. We have been here 3 times and will be back.
