Check in was a breeze ( self ) Property was as described in the photos. Perfect for self launching. We are new so went to Kayak Shack around the corner for launch and instructions. Property reminds me of the old Islamorada in the 80s. A welcome step back in time. Will be back foe sure

Stayed here recently and honestly was really impressed with how clean everything was. I’m very picky when it comes to cleanliness, and this place definitely met my standards. Even the towels looked brand new, which says a lot. The room was a little small, but it was still very cozy and nice overall. The fridge worked perfectly, the bathtub was amazing, and I loved how easy the check-in process was. Not having to check in with anyone and simply using a code to unlock the door made everything so convenient and stress-free. My only complaint is that I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the kayaking. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely come back!

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.

This is a classic old Florida motel. It was cute and had been remodeled with a mermaid theme but the building itself, being old, had floors that were not level and other quirky stuff. The kitchenette was great and we appreciated having a toaster as well as a microwave. The clawfoot tub was cool but the shower sprayer wasn’t mounted high enough so it washed the middle of your body vs from the top.

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.
