We really love this hotel. The location was perfect. The grounds were beautiful. Our room was clean and comfortable. Very quiet. We could watch the sunset in the evening right in front of our room. Waterfront hotel, easy access to everything yet out of the main hubbub of town. Highly recommend this hotel.

Charming property, room very neat and clean but the most important part of a motel room which to me is the bed was like a barn door with a sheet over it, hard as a rock but that's just my opinion, some people may like very hard beds. Also there were several palmetto bugs running around in the room like they owned the place lol. Overall all a good experience and location.

Looks like a 50's motel on the outside, but the rooms are spacious, clean, modern, and very comfortable. They've gone a long way to keep the motel charm while having great rooms.

This is a hidden gem!! To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to give King’s Bay Lodge 5 stars, based on its great price, but my husband and I were quite impressed! The units are newly renovated, the furniture (leather recliners and couch) was gorgeous, and the bed was super comfortable! It had everything we needed for our 2-night stay.
We rented kayaks for an afternoon and found some manatees.
