This place was everything I didn’t even realize I needed. The waterfront views were so peaceful, and getting to watch manatees right outside felt like pure magic. Everything was spotless, thoughtfully put together, and the little touches...the welcome sign and sweet goodie bag...made it feel instantly warm and personal. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day, and honestly, this stay became more than just a getaway...it felt like a reset. Joann and steve were so friendly and helpful, hoping to book future stays!

What a GREAT PLACE to stay! We found Captains Quarters Very NICE, COMFORTABLE & RELAXING. Right on the waterway, this neat and cozy room is just the place for unwinding. We only stayed one night because we were on the way to a cruise from Port Canaveral, but I would have liked to stay linger and plan to stay there sometime again in the future.
