Top 10 Lodges in Florida, United States

April 18, 2023 Timmy Ribble

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

Stegbone's Fish Camp

Ever wonder where that place went where your Grandfather first took you fishing; that place where life-long memories were made? The place where you fished during the day and told stories about the day's catch over a camp fire? Join us for new memories on the St. Johns River in Welaka, Florida. The St. John's River provides excellent fishing opportunities The surrounding area is appropriately nick-named, "The Bass Capitol of the World." There are numerous fishing tournaments in the spring and fall. Favored fish, in addition to bass, include copperhead, shell cracker, red bellies, crappies and bluegill.

Get away and catching fish

Reviewed By Wadcdavi

It like going back in time to the simple life. The dock is a great place to hang out especially during a rain storm.and is set up just right to clean you catch of fish. The camp is located very near a boat ramp that is in good shape to put your boat in . Ample firewood is provided for nightly fires in the fire pit. With the cabins being kept to the old time fish camp they are kept very clean.The staff is always ready to help with anything you need.

Lovely Restaurant!! Nice Views!! Friendly Service!!

Reviewed By Yariv G

We stayed at the tarpon Lodge for one night as part of our western Florida trip. I'll review the hotel separately. I am referring only to the restaurant y in this review. When we checked in top the hotel, we were sort of peckish so we had something light for lunch because we were booked for dinner as well at the restaurant. We had an excellent clam chowder and some tasty bruschettas followed by a divine salted caramel cheesecake for dessert. Yummy. We went for a short nap, a drive around the island and a walk on the beach front and returned for dinner. We shared the blackened fish bites as a starter. For mains I took the bouillabaisse (delicious!!) and the lady took a caesar's salad. We shared a great chocolate mousse for dessert. All this went down with bottle of excellent Malbec wine. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the view of the palms and the sea is beautiful. Lovely Restaurant!! Great Food and Service!!

Great Place to Stay

Reviewed By Olderthanyoube

The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and approachable. The boat that we rented was exactly what we needed for fishing in the area. We were there in early March, slightly off-season, so the place was reasonably priced and very, very quiet. Perfect!

Men’s Fellowship Fishing Trip

Reviewed By Q5876JGmikec

Tracey’s Point Fishing Lodge is a great place to getaway. I took a group of men there for an overnight stay and a day of fishing on Lake Panasoffkee. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and kind. The fishing was excellent. We went with local fishing guides including Captain Joe who is on staff at Tracey’s Point. I will definitely be bringing my family back!

Great week at the fish camp

Reviewed By 8peggyw

Great week at the fish camp. This is our third visit and this time brought back friends and family and we had all three units. We love this place. The sunrise views are spectacular coming across mosquito lagoon. We took kayaks out almost every day. We are nature buffs and love the birding. Got to Merritt Island twice for great birding. Bull and Christine were great hosts and very accommodating. We felt welcome and at home. Already looking forward to our return visit.

Royal Canadian Motel

Clearwater hidden gem!

Reviewed By mermaidGeeM

We encountered this motel by accident we were on a road trip to Clearwater and decided to stay for 2 days. They had rooms available so we stayed. Little did we know we will end up loving this place. Is not a resort and the rooms are a little dated but for the price is AMAZING! The location is great(steps from the beach) and even though the rooms are a little dated everything is super clean! We really wanted to come back on 2020 but we adopted a small dog and unfortunately they are not pet friendly. It was a bummer knowing we were not coming back on 2020 otherwise I recommend! Affordable, clean and close to the beach, restaurants and stores!

Bud N' Mary's Fishing Lodge

Memorial Day Weekend

Reviewed By MerrittSpeech

My husband and family stayed several days at Bud N' Mary's Fishing hotel. The accommodations were rustic, but clean and the air conditioners worked well. We loved being able to spend the nights at the hotel and wake up and look at the boats as they were heading out the go fishing. WE also enjoyed sitting outside of our rooms and enjoying the view at night time. It is not a post setting. But if you like clean, comfortable and going fishing....It is a great place to spend a long weekend. Thank you Bun N' Marys
