Manatee Lodge

Fantastic location for relaxation and fun! We’ve booked 2 family trips there and will absolutely return. The lodge is beautiful and serene, perfect location on an inlet super close to the river. We fished, watched the manatees, kayaked, swam, sat by the firepit and had an incredible time. Very special place. And because I’m germaphobe I will mention it is SUPER clean! Also great amenities nearby - fun restaurants and parks plus Publix. 😂

We spent a couple of nights at The Manatee Lodge with our besties, and we were blown away! The house and location is perfect! It’s beautifully decorated, spotless and they’ve thought of EVERYTHING! We loved the kayaks and paddle boards that were included, the kids loved the bunk beds and game room, we enjoyed the fire pit and lots of late night laughs on the screened in patio. The welcome basket was a great touch and a special surprise! We caught lots of different species of fish and were greeted by a momma and baby manatee as soon as we got there! We all agreed and would give 100 stars if we could! Lauren and Tim, THANK YOU for a perfect weekend, your hard work is noticed and appreciated!

This place is absolutely perfect! Fishing and kayaking right from you backyard. The inside is also beautiful and has a fireplace.
