From the minute we checked in and Michelle greeted us, we knew we picked the right spot! Since it’s quiet season, they were able to upgrade our room to double balcony oceanfront. It felt like we were right over the beach! Very clean rooms and facilities. We were visiting my nephew who goes to school at DSC and the valet guys were so accommodating, allowing us to leave the car out front for a few hours here and there without charging us the parking fee. Sore isl shout out to Dom from valet. The pool area was great and we loved the tiki bar (shout out to Doug the bartender!) he even gave me a special drink for my bday!!! They give s’mores kits at night to use at the pool side fire pits too! When we come back to visit, we will definitely rebook at the Shores!!!

#SpringFun Spring is the best time to grab the paddleboards and head outside in Florida! Weather is still cool and crisp in the morning and warms up nicely during the day, providing the perfect time to cool-off jump into the constant 72 degree water. The photo here is a small creek along the Rainbow River with clear blue water and a nice sandy bottom. We love finding little places like this on the larger rivers so we can hop-off and explore. It also gets you away from the crowds and opens up the possibility of finding more pieces of paradise. We like to launch from K.P. Hold
