We loved exploring Historic Long Beach Village and watching the Peacocks, having our traditional waffle ice cream cone at Scoop Daddys and visiting the Mote Aquarium and observing the manatees. Next we will plan on more time.

This is a pleasant and cozy place. Also, well-equipped for fun with bikes, kayaks, secluded backyard and deck with hot tub and grill. We look forward to coming again.
