Upon arrival we were met at the gate by Cathy and her pooch, "Ace"...we were immediately given the rules about locking the gate behind us...we later met "Charlie", her cat. He was cool. We live in Orlando, the 2 hr drive was well worth it. We stayed in Southwest #2, 2/1. One bedroom had a full size bed, the other,... More

I came here with my girlfriend and stayed in one of the cottages right on the water. Although the place was completely packed we rarely saw anyone other than our neighbors across the way. Our porch was literally right on the water, which was great for breakfast every morning and sitting out on whenever we weren't on the beach. The... More

A very quaint closely group of little colorful cottages right on the water, and I DO MEAN on the water! A couple of blocks from the ocean, but right on a cup-de-sac of the canal with a good view of the boats moored there. Very friendly owners! The cottage was very clean, and there were several dogs around including ours..:-)... More

You can walk to most everything or very short drive. 2 blocks from Johns Pass. Your in the center of everything without all the noise that goes along with it. Changing Tides... More

We live in the lower Florida Keys and were going to St Pete to look at a boat. Good friends had recently stayed at the Changing Tides with their two dogs and loved it. We were traveling with our Shih Tzu and as dog owners know a lot of hotels will take dogs now, but they are just that, hotel... More

We recently stayed for the weekend Friday thru Sunday. We had never taken our pets on vacation and always felt somehow they would feel left out if we did. Well not here - I couldn't tell you who had more fun my parents, wife and I or the two beagles. What an awesome experience - the cottages are well equipped... More
