Disliked: Cleanliness
Furniture in the room was nice and I liked how there were Dove products in the bathroom. However, no tissue paper and cleanliness could be improved. There were hairs in our towels, in the bed and shower. There were crumbs of some type in the bed and on the floor - felt strange when we were going barefoot. Location was good - close to restaurants and kayaking. I would recommend staying elsewhere probably next time you’re in town.

Parking was assigned. It worked. Bed was comfy. Kitchen was adequate. No spices oil etc but a basics for what’s needed. Was decorated nicely. Very roomy. Hot water did t work the first day then lukewarm after being fixed. In warm weather probably wouldn’t be a huge deal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay at King’s Bay Lodge. It is a real “Old Florida” style motel with beautiful views of King’s Bay. The rooms and grounds are neat and clean and every staff member was nice and efficient. It is close to good restaurants and interesting attractions. You can bicycle around the area, take pleasant walks in the peaceful neighborhood or explore the area in a kayak. We do recommend King’s Bay Lodge.

This is a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean. Also, the location is amazing. The restaurants are in walking distace and the dock is easy place to put in kayaks. From the lodge there is access to the 3 Sisters Spring. We put kayaks in and paddled to 3 Sisters in under an hour. The walk to 3 Sisters Park is also less than 30min. The swimming pool is amazing!
