Fabulous gem! Beautifully designed room, gorgeous grounds! Walkable to bay and dining/shopping. And…the evening croissants delivered to the door were, hands down, the best I’ve ever had and they’re baked on site!

We were very surprised to be so close to Crystal River(where you can rent kayaks, etc.) and to very nice restaurants and shops. The rooms were beautiful, recently updated. We were greeted by the freindly staff and then later was brought homemade pastries, another nice surprise. Breakfast was included, simple but very nice. We will recommend this place to our friends and we'll be back!
