It was about this spot where a manatee popped its head up, right in front of my kayak and then proceeded to swim directly beneath my kayak in crystal clear shallow water. I opted to just totally engage myself in the experience instead of trying to photograph it. We rented our kayaks from a place called Kayak Jack's. They were great! You pick a drop-off location and specify a time and your kayaks will be awaiting you, ready for launch! http://www.kayak-jacks.com “You choose the location, We bring the Fun!”

What a wonderful little hotel !!! The Tiki Bar was a delight. Brian and Tyler we’re fantastic bartenders. The room itself was very cute. Mid-century modern and everything was brand new. It’s the bed was wonderfully comfortable and it was very spacious. We would definitely return.
