Tiffany
It was a very nice little place. It had kayaks and seating like a beach area where you could watch the sunset they had fishing poles. The room was nice. It was very homey, and I loved the jetted tub!
David
Quaint, fun place, great location, fun themed room. Enjoyed our stay and will return.
Roxann
The room was clean and was decorated in a wonderful mermaid theme. We enjoyed the kayaks that were provided. The property was well maintained. We had a great time and hope to return again in the future.
theo
Very peaceful sweet little place. I did not rate staff as I never saw anyone, but that is because the instructions were very clear and I encountered no problems. The mermaids and the retro theme were so cool. Wish I could have stayed longer but was not able to. Parking accommodations are great as you can park across from your unit. I had a claw foot tub, what's not to like about that!.....☺️☺️👍👌
karen
Check in was a breeze ( self )
Property was as described in the photos. Perfect for self launching. We are new so went to Kayak Shack around the corner for launch and instructions. Property reminds me of the old Islamorada in the 80s. A welcome step back in time. Will be back foe sure

Stephanie
Stayed here recently and honestly was really impressed with how clean everything was. I’m very picky when it comes to cleanliness, and this place definitely met my standards. Even the towels looked brand new, which says a lot. The room was a little small, but it was still very cozy and nice overall.
The fridge worked perfectly, the bathtub was amazing, and I loved how easy the check-in process was. Not having to check in with anyone and simply using a code to unlock the door made everything so convenient and stress-free.
My only complaint is that I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the kayaking. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely come back!

Cute af. Solo traveler here and a girly girl. Loved it.
Amie
This was a last minute booking, but it was great. Super cute and clean! Actually wish we had more time to enjoy.
Alena
Property owners were very nice and helpful with questions. Allowed us to use the kayaks after we checked out. Very close to Weeki Wachee spring.
Travis
What a great place to stay, we will be returning in the future.
anastasia
This is a classic old Florida motel. It was cute and had been remodeled with a mermaid theme but the building itself, being old, had floors that were not level and other quirky stuff. The kitchenette was great and we appreciated having a toaster as well as a microwave. The clawfoot tub was cool but the shower sprayer wasn’t mounted high enough so it washed the middle of your body vs from the top.
DORIS
Easy check in, parking onsite, very clean. The owner super nice and available to answer any questions.
Curt
Both were great….

Made our Anniversary Celebration just what we needed and wanted!
PAT
The room was beautiful (serenity). Stepped outside to go to dock and very disappointed. Sad. You cannot walk on docks to put the FREE KAYAK in to the water. The wood float docks are an accident waiting to happen: falling apart, no ramp from ground to docks. Looks like a garbage put of trashed docks. Very much in need of over haul. If fixed, i would ho back. The room was so cute, clean, pretty. Rest of experience was not good. Very disappointing. To kayak you have to enter water elsewhere.
Elizabeth
Room was amazing. Very clean and well decorated. Need was super comfortable. Beyond happy with our stay. Highly recommend!
Kimberly
room was tidy and whimsically comfortable! the free kayak access was a bonus we werent expecting and will be sure to utilize more next time we visit! staff was helpful and kind, hoping to come back very soon!
Joshua
Enjoyed the kayaks
Katherine J
Room was clean and safe. Decor was adorable! Convenient location. Quiet. Will stay again!
Dan
We arrived a couple hours before check in. Contacted the manager, and since the room had been cleaned, let us go in right away. Our room was adorned with Mermaid decorations, and was spotless. A very cozy place to relax. The property has a waterway canal at the end. Plenty of easy parking. And perfect location near Pine Island and Weeki Wachee Springs State park. Excellent dining is nearby, and a CVS on the main road. We look forward to staying here again.
Amanda
The property was absolutely adorable. Room was very clean, all the linen smelled like it was freshly laundered, I will definitely be back.
Cheri
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.
Rachel
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.

Loved everything. It was quaint, quiet, adorable, friendly, clean. Can't wait to come back
Denise
Adorable property in a great location near Weeki Wachee Springs! We loved the old Florida charm. We will definitely return.
michael wayne
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.
Tasha
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!
Averi
I went to the Sirens Mermaid Camp at Weeki Wachee and this was super convenient. Very cute and perfectly decorated mermaid style!
anni
you can use kayak for free anytime, the room is new. The host is sweet and they provide everything you need in the kitchen
Verified traveler
Ac is noisy on top of headboard ! Unfortunately this spot is not for me!
Sandra
Wonderful little spot for a quick trip. Enjoyed the decor and coffee much appreciated. Didn't have time to kayak this trip but most likely return for another stay.
Parindu
Charming stay
Beautiful spot. The room was well appointed and decorated. The overall description would be charming. Very comfortable bed!
Wendy
Convenient and quiet
David
This place is Old Florida at its best. Close to Weeki Wachee Park in a pretty quiet, beautiful setting. Would definitely go there again!
Gina
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.
eric
So cute and such a lovely lication on the water, complete with use of kayaks.
NICOLE
Very quiet, so clean, adorable cozy room. Friendly owner.
Maria
Waterfront property. Was nice to have kayak launch but weather was bad, so no one was at kayak rentals.
Room was tiny, but very well thought.

Matthew
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!
Alicia
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
Shanna
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!!!
AMALIA
Loved my stay there. Would love to stay there again.

An amazing hidden paradise! The free kayak rentals are a fantastic perk. It's such a peaceful and serene place.
Etta j
It is wonderful that kayaks are provided. As suggested, the short trip to salt springs was perfect. Also the kayak launch provided was very helpful.
Nicole
Sweet, minutes from springs park
Adorable little hotel, nice and clean, minutes from Weeki Wachee springs park.
Douglas
Peaceful mini vacation
Quiet peaceful area. Extremely clean was very happy and surprised at that. Free kayak use
Shelley
Amazing, short, stay. The property was nice, the room was cute and cozy. I stayed in Serenity, and will come back! The spa tub/shower was so relaxing! Highly recommend!
Jesse
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 !!!!!!!!!!!
Rachael
Absolutely exquisite place. Super unique and fun! Our stay was short and sweet but was an absolute delight. Will definitely be staying here again when we come back to visit family!
Bonnie
This is such a great little place. I loved everything about it. My 7 year old and I stayed there 2 nights. Will definitely return!! Highly recommend!!
TERRY
The dock was in poor condition. The bed was against the wall so you had to climb over your mate to get up during the night. Unfortunately we could not stay there. I don’t understand how it could have so many good reviews. The owner or manager was outstanding and was able to move us to another place more suitable for our needs. Our stay ended up being outstanding thanks to his response. We were sad to leave.
Sally
Unique place. Enjoyable stay. Appreciated the bug spray. Darn sand fleas were pesky.
Susan
Decor was cute, bed was comfortable, and price was right.
Would have liked to spend another night and used the kayaks to explore but we'll come back when we have more time. Weeki Watchee State Park is very close and fun too!

Directly on the water front. Free Kajaks. Super cute, we stayed one night longer than planned.
Tracy
Loved this cute little place... Perfect setting and atmosphere. I'm not sure about the showers in the other rooms ours was very small. Loved all the homey little touches, and decor accents. Also loved that it was not a chain hotel for more money and bad reviews. We defiantly hope to stay here again. Thank you so much, so glad to have found this pearl!
Sally
Theme rooms are so unique and we appreciated the details. Thankful for the bug spray as the sand fleas were hungry. Lol
Matt
I booked my trip through expedia.com with this location. There was poor communication between Expedia and the location. The location never received payment and I was going to be charged the full amount of the stay over again.. so for the location I don’t know how the rooms are but I know the communication is slack.
Judy
Our favorite!
Fabulous place! Extremely clean and comfortable, nicely decorated and in a beautiful setting.
Gary
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.
Allen
Quaint and quiet
Robert
Liked the little beach area for sunbathing. Nice hot tub but very strange heat/volume controls on it.
Lela
Sporadic, loved it.
Melissa
Nice little getaway place
We were looking for a nice inexpensive place to stay overnight for an event we were attending. I found Neptunes grotto was nearby and the price point is great. The location is right on a canal with a boat dock, very Florida living and very easy to find. One problem for us was the lack of parking. When we arrived there were no regular parking spaces available for us and the lot would not have accommodated our truck and trailer anyway. We had to park on the side of the street, keep this in mind if you are driving a larger vehicle or pulling any kind of trailer. You wont fit. Our room was super cute with its mermaid decorations and it had all the essentials we could have needed. Check in was simple, the door code was emailed to us the morning of our stay and it was easy enough to access our room. The room itself was clean and well kept up. We did notice a slight lean in the floor which can be tricky especially in the bathroom. Our biggest complaint was the very very firm mattress. It was not comfortable and both my husband and I did not get a good nights sleep because it felt like sleeping on a plank. Mattress firmness is a personal preference so it may not bother others like it did us. It would have been nice to have it be a little more comfortable. Overall this place is great, it suited our need for the night and was budget friendly. The area was quiet and felt safe.
Asher
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.
ANN
Would love to come back.
The place is adorable. Small but adorable. Had everything we needed. So cool seeing manatees right outside the door. Only issue was cheep bedspread that felt like plastic and got hot. The muddy mermaid room was decorated so cute. Would love to come back.
Rhonda
I love this little place. Quiet, super cute style, very close to Roger's Park and Weeki Wachee State Park.
Comfortable bed, big TV, coffee pot, microwave, toaster, cute little waffle maker, plates, glasses, utensils, cute little mini fridge. Loved it, I will be back.

Samantha
This place was perfect. We took a cup of coffee (coffee and coffee pot provided) and walked along the water. We were greeted by so many manatees and the most beautiful setting. Would highly recommend this place for a night or two on the west coast.
