The kayaks & stand up paddle board were great, and most of the swim with manatee tours congregate a fairly short distance from the house. It was super easy to paddle out there, and we saw more manatees exploring on our own than we did on the group tour with River Ventures. We even saw a manatee right off the house dock one night! The house has lots of comfortable areas to relax, and TONS of towels. I highly recommend this property. ##### Sarah S.
