This was a great stopover on our way to friends. The place was clean and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable. Bonus-I got to see my first manatee in the water right off the dock. I just wish the weather would have been warmer...Would stay here again.

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!

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.

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

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.

This place was absolutely amazing and beautiful. It was so very quiet and relaxing and they really went the extra mile to add that compfy home feeling. I would suggest this place to anyone looking for an amazing hideaway. So easy to just wake up and step straight into awesome and the river is steps away as well. Loved it !!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
