Excellent property to go too. Lazy river was night and the staff at the front desk was amazing. Very close to the beach with many restaurants and shops to walk too. Even saw Space X launch a rocket from this location. Perfect spot for a great price. Recommend especially if you're bring Children.

#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
