It was about this spot where a manatee popped its head up, right in front of my kayak and then proceeded to swim directly beneath my kayak in crystal clear shallow water.

I opted to just totally engage myself in the experience instead of trying to photograph it.

We rented our kayaks from a place called Kayak Jack's. They were great! You pick a drop-off location and specify a time and your kayaks will be awaiting you, ready for launch!

"The property was well equipped, the host was amazing and very helpful. We loved the location and the lay out of the property. The pool was extremely nice, and the outside area was enclosed and absolutely wonderful. I can not think of a single thing that was not above par. We will be returning and using this host and property for sure. "

"House was extremely clean and had everything we needed to make the perfect stay. The personal touches (especially the coffee and tea bar) made us feel at home. Back deck was so relaxing in the evenings with a glass of wine. Beds comfortable with a tv in every room. Would give this place a “10”! "
