swim with the manatees
Great place to stay. A bottle of wine was waiting for us as were 3 tasty macaroons. Later they brought us fresh warm pastry. Room was bright and spacious. Parking was across the street, was the only negative but no big deal.

This property is so tropical and just gorgeous!!! Walkable to so much that you wouldn’t have to leave the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will absolutely stay here again. I think the little touches with the coffee room being open 24/7 and the delicious pastries delivered to your room every afternoon, just absolutely makes it perfect!!!!

Fabulous gem! Beautifully designed room, gorgeous grounds! Walkable to bay and dining/shopping. And…the evening croissants delivered to the door were, hands down, the best I’ve ever had and they’re baked on site!

We were very surprised to be so close to Crystal River(where you can rent kayaks, etc.) and to very nice restaurants and shops. The rooms were beautiful, recently updated. We were greeted by the freindly staff and then later was brought homemade pastries, another nice surprise. Breakfast was included, simple but very nice. We will recommend this place to our friends and we'll be back!
