This was an awesome place to stay. The room,#16, had everything we could have needed. I loved the recliners and the kitchenette was perfect for our needs. It was right on the water with chairs to sit outside to enjoy the scenery. Parking was a few steps from the door. We would 100% stay here again.

A great little hidden gem. We stayed 3 nights and were very pleased with the accommodations. If you are looking for a ritzy high rise this is NOT for you. If you want a great value, spacious and clean room, quiet location and a very unique swimming experience Kings Bay Lodge is the place for you. We plan to return.
