We had a great stay at the Manatee Lodge! The location is perfect for seeing the manatees during the winter months and the manatee themed decor made the stay even more special. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and taking out the kayaks into the springs. We had a manatee swim past the dock one afternoon while we were fishing. In the mornings, we heard and saw lots of ducks and other wildlife from the screened in back porch overlooking the canal. It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay. My son especially enjoyed the bunk beds and the game room downstairs. During our stay, we visited monkey island, swam with manatees at Paddletail Waterfront Adventures, and visited the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.

We had an amazing time! The location is perfect for families with small children. Every morning we watched manatees from the dock, then jumped in the kayaks and paddled around enjoying the scenery, manatees, and quietness of the area. The house was perfect for our needs and being so close to the state park is a huge perk with little kids-that park is such a hidden gem. Homosassa in general is such a nice little town-we all could envision owning a second home there someday. We'll likely be back as my kids absolutely loved it.
