“Step back into Old Florida”
My wife and I paddled our kayak over from Pine Island and stayed in the Tarpon Cottage, a 1930 former Tarpon research lab. The cottagge has its own dock with a view of the sound from the living room. It was very cozy and the full kitchen as nice to have. The restaurant was good-nothing fancy but well prepared and the service was warm and friendly. Having a drink at the bar with the colorful locals is a must. Cayo Costa state park is a short paddle away with access to the Gulf beaches, which were empty. If your looking for a relaxing get away without fancy ameneties this is defimitely the place.
