We had a great time! The condo was great and very well appointed, with a well stocked kitchen, including paper goods, toiletries and laundry supplies!
And the owner was nice, and responsive!
There're restaurants within walking distance: The Blue Gator for waterfront dining and great food & drink; Gruffs had fantastic dry-rub ribs. Plenty of other restaurants within short drive: The Front Porch for great home cooking and incredible pie selection; Swampy's Bar & Grill for great waterfront dining.
Boat rentals ars available right next door to The Blue Gator.
Great horseback riding at The Orange Blossom Trail Rides, into the Goethe State Forest.
Great fishing right from the docks, and the sound of frogs and gators at night was just incredible. And the property is surrounded by live oak trees.
Staying here was a truly natural experience!
In fact I would have given it a 5 star rating except for two reasons:
1) Would not recommend Riverside Condos if travelling with kids. We had a 10 & 7 yr old travelling in our group, and the pool area has restrictions and the hot tub was off limits to anyone under 12. And there are alligators (even at the dock...which was pretty cool) so kids have to be careful on the docks, and the river is strictly for boating and fishing...no swimming.
2) There are no elevators, so if you're travelling with a lot of luggage and equipment, there are a lot of steps, especially when you're on the 3rd floor!
It was a great experience and thank you for everything!
