This was a great stopover on our way to friends. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable. Bonus-I got to see my first manatee in the water right off the dock. I just wish the weather would have been warmer...Would stay here again.

We arrived a couple hours before check in. Contacted the manager, and since the room had been cleaned, let us go in right away. Our room was adorned with Mermaid decorations, and was spotless. A very cozy place to relax. The property has a waterway canal at the end. Plenty of easy parking. And perfect location near Pine Island and Weeki Wachee Springs State park. Excellent dining is nearby, and a CVS on the main road. We look forward to staying here again.

The room was beautiful (serenity). Stepped outside to go to dock and very disappointed. Sad. You cannot walk on docks to put the FREE KAYAK in to the water. The wood float docks are an accident waiting to happen: falling apart, no ramp from ground to docks. Looks like a garbage put of trashed docks. Very much in need of over haul. If fixed, i would ho back. The room was so cute, clean, pretty. Rest of experience was not good. Very disappointing. To kayak you have to enter water elsewhere.

Very clean! Thoughtful amenities. Super cute decor. Two small suggestions to make it perfect: The coffee pot doesn’t function correctly - made coffee but also made a mess. The primary bedroom window curtains aren’t quite big enough for the sliding door and are very sheer. They don’t allow for complete privacy and do not block the street light shining in at night.
