Floors not level hard to walk on. No electricity by the bed for medical equipment. Very uncomfortable bed. Couldn’t stay had to leave after 1 night. After booking 8 nights. Said it was refundable at booking then change it to not refundable after leaving. It didn’t matter it was bad enough I would have forfeit it. It was that bad. I had the pay for another place. Gladly to get out of the muddy mermaid. They were able to book 3 of my nights so I got a 3 day refund.

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!

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.

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!

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

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!!!
