Liked: Amenities
Very clean! Thoughtful amenities. Super cute decor. Two small suggestions to make it perfect: The coffee pot doesn’t function correctly - made coffee but also made a mess. The primary bedroom window curtains aren’t quite big enough for the sliding door and are very sheer. They don’t allow for complete privacy and do not block the street light shining in at night.

Much needed relaxing staycation!

Went for a last minute relaxing birthday weekend. The room is adorable with vintage appliances and glitter floors! We enjoyed kayaking and saw some dolphins while we were out, and soaking in the in room hot tub was exactly what we needed! The only negative was the beds, but that’s just a personal preference because I like a really soft bed. Everything else was absolutely perfect and we are already planning future vista!

Quaint and Fun

Enjoyed our stay and nice hospitality. The host ran in and got an extension chord so we could shorten the time needed to charge our bikes. Took a delightful canoe ride through the canals and saw manatee. Great quaint place with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Alicia and Scot 2/25

Unique Retreat

The area was great! I love having access to the kayaks and being able to explore the water areas. The room was nice and clean. The only thing that was a problem was the toilet would not flush! We had an issue with it every time when we finally decided just to use the public bathroom on site. Other than that we loved the quaintness of this retreat.

What a cool little place! Rooms are not very big, but decorated cheerful and everything you need. Right on the water and not too far from dining. You must go watch the sunset behind the Inn a bit further down the main road.

Excellent stay

While I only stayed for one night, I wish I’d been able to stay longer. Great location, clean, had all I needed and more. Before check out I was able to take one of the kayaks out and explore the area. It was a great time.

The mermaid themed room was well thought out & really made our stay feel unique. There was 1 manatee right off the dock when we arrived Thursday & three more on Saturday morning! What an experience! Plenty of great local restaurants were recommended by the property & we took the time to visit 2 of them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Neptune's Grotto to anyone looking for a quiet & simple Florida getaway. We definitely are considering returning in the future! Thank yoi for hscing us!

The rooms are so well thought out with meticulous detail. We are in the serenity room and I am absolutely mesmerized by the colorful sparkles in the floor and all the cool decor. So bonus notes we have a hot tub with jets in our room and we get free kayaks to take out on the river! My husband and I could not be happier with the choice we made to book here. Really cool and thought out place. If you're looking for a nice relaxing getaway book you room at Neptune's grotto! We love it here. The owners added everything you could possibly want and more!!!

Great Place to stay

This was a great find for us and we will be back. The room is nice and well set up. Neptune's is located in a great setting among nature. Having the free kayaks is a nice touch considering the proximity to the beautiful waterways. The trip out on Cortez blvd is scenic and the pier at the end is a great sunset spot.

Great Stay!

We recently had a delightful stay at this place with great views and a range of activities to enjoy. The location and ambiance were fantastic, creating a memorable experience. The sky was beautiful at night! While the bathroom facilities could use some improvements, the overall stay was exceptional. I highly recommend this spot to those seeking a beautiful retreat with plenty to do, and I hope the bathroom facilities receive attention for an even more satisfying experience in the future.
