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.

The rooms were perfect. There are no convivences for mobility scooters. I personally would not attempt to use either set of steps into pool. The sidewalks blocked and go nowhere. I guess never rebuilt because of hurricane. In all fairness to the owners, they have done a wonderful job of rebuilding the motel 5 stars. Just not for mobility scooters

Great location!! Right on the water. Spotted manatees from the dock. Half block walk to shops and galleries. It's an efficiency; so there is a small kitchen (though not fully stocked with dishware, we had 1 coffee cup) there was a comfy sofa and chair. Bed was incredibly comfortable although a bit high for this 5'4" gal. Spring fed pool was like swimming off the dock. Definitely going to return.

The lodge has the Old Florida feel and very family friendly. We were able to launch our kayak easily from the boat dock. Kayaking to the Three Sisters Springs is a must see. Also, take the time to kayak around the islands. There is a lot of wildlife. The area also have bike trails that are close by.

The rooms were nice, but could use some improvements to the number/location of power outlets for charging devices. The pool was also nice, but the area around it could use some updates and cleanup.

Newly updated

The room appeared recently updated. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Our only complaint was the height of the bed. It was too high for a couple of 70 year olds to easily get into.
