Carmen was extremely responsive and her emails very helpful. One of the things I am most grateful for, is that since we were driving up in the morning from South Florida (about 5 hrs) to go to a 11:30 AM wedding on the beach, Carmen generously allowed us to check into our room earlier than the standard 4 PM, so we didn’t have to freshen-up in a Walmart bathroom before the wedding. So, we were extremely grateful for the early check-in. The room was neat and clean, and adequately supplied for our 3 night stay. We saw the dolphin and manatees from the balcony and parking lot. We did not really explore the area of Ruskin so I cannot comment. Thank you, Carmen! Oh, one more thing: Somehow, I forgot to bring our coffee — so we were very grateful that Carmen had supplied a package of coffee for us to use that first morning. Then we were easily able to go to Publix and Walmart and get coffee. Thank you, for the coffee, Carmen!
