    Met with Erin at the checkin counter and she was chatty and the registration went smoothly. The beachy themed room was clean and amazing in the Exuma Cay section overlooking the river and only a few steps away from the Black Fins tiki. Ample parking spaces were available. The price per night hovered around $235.00 with a $20.00 resort fee, which is still a good deal based on the location and time of high season still in effect. Breakfast is NOT complimentary but they offer some food in the lobby for a fee.

    After seeing the commercials for this place, I was eager to check it out, and I was not disappointed. Everything was awesome and this is everything a coastal establishment should be like. The property is totally awesome and has a great vibe. I loved where we sat and the great views. Ended up exploring the whole place with my toddler who decided to check everything out. We even saw a hermit crab from the dock. It's cool that you can take your boat here and there were a lot of people who did it and a nice guy there to help. The food was fantastic with the exception of the person in our party who ordered fish and chips and it was two small pieces of fish. But I enjoyed this place so much and by the looks of it, I bet they're absolutely slammed when they have live music. I can't wait to go back.

    Friendly staff, fresh seafood, unique options. Been coming over to the East Cast for years. Enjoy statin at the resort when the only rooms they had was over the marina. Loved the 7am Charter Boat sounds to wake us up. Still a great place to stay and eat.

    Sunrise over Marina

    The room we had w/ a balcony overlooking the marina was wonderful, remodeled and comfortable. 2 Adirondack chairs and table w/ 2 stools gave options for morning coffee watching sunrise, dolphins playing in marina or evening listening to the music w/o the crowd. Sat on the beach, saw a comedian and ate at Blackfin Grill. If you want a great place to unwind and have quiet plus nightlife try it during week!

    We had a wonderful lunch here yesterday. Sat outside on the water, beautiful weather and nice ambiance. Good service. We really enjoyed the shrimp and crab roll, the steamed shrimp, and the seafood salad. Reasonably priced. Only thing missing was some live music. Maybe next time. Fun place to go on the water.

    fun beach bar. slow service. had to ask for water 4x before finally getting it. food was decent. prices were fair. drinks were good! Staff were nice but stretched thin .. and it wasn't even that busy. love the love music & the views

    This is one of the many Florida restaurants that feel like you're on vacation even if you live here all around. This place does check many, not all of the boxes. You have water views, it's outside, sandy floors, docks for hanging out on or docking your boat, colorful and festive and a few bars. We ended up at the bar because that's always our first choice. He ordered a beer and I ordered a bloody Mary. We were perfectly happy with our drinks so we ordered appetizers. Crab bisque- 6/10 not bad in flavor, but too watery. The bartender did apologize that it was a bit watery today. The kitchen needs to do better. (Can't remember the name) these fried fish bites- 4/10 I feel like if it wasn't for the dipping sauce these would just be very dull. When something taste delicious, you really shouldn't need sauce. It's just supposed to be an added touch if you wanted more of a flavor or if it's just a sauce person. The atmosphere is everything and it hits that mark. Would I drive out of my way to come back here, no. This is a great tourist spot. But as a Floridian, I look for the full package, not just the view. Oh, and of course they did have live music .

    My friend found this resort and the building we stayed at is up to date with clean modern carpets nice furniture , cute patio, modern bathroom, small refrigerator and microwave . Our beds were okay but not the best . I do like the value of this resort however there are some problems . I didn't like that the following day the beds were not made , no clean towels, no garbage thrown out , no refreshing of shampoo and conditioner ,coffee for the coffee maker . Also we were on the 3 floor and the first night the elevator broke , this meant my friends with knee problems had problem going up and down steps for three days no elevator . At check in they gave us some lovely tote bags and a plastic bracelet . The front desk people were welcoming . Over all I would stay here again ,if they straighten up these problems .

    Hushpuppies

    When we entered the place was hopping! There was a band play and the it was loud. We like talk so we found some tables away from the music but every table was full of dishes. We had to wait for a server to clean a table, however our server ran into a friend's family (by talk and gesture, this is my inference) and started talking and forgot about us. He cleaned their table and got their order before I had to remind him about it. (I'm all about serving the locals, we live in a tourist town. But he shouldn't forget he promised to clean our table!) Finally we got just waters for being seated but they taste like bleach, so we opted for alcoholic drinks which were just okay in flavor. We finally ordered. We got a starter of hushpuppies, I got fish tacos, and my husband ordered the special of blackened fish. The hushpuppies took no time to come out and we eat them while enjoying the view as we got a table right on the river. I took awhile for the food to arrive, however, and so you get no photos of that as we were hungry and just dug in. We really liked the hush puppies. My tacos were just ok. My husband did like his blackened fish. I'm sure this is a great party and drinking spot. Maybe not a "stop of lunch after the beach when you're hungry" location. Food was okay Service was really lacking Ambiance is what carried this review to 2 stars.

The room and amenities were clean and well taken care of. Parking was available but not always close to your room, but also the walks weren't bad as everywhere on property was so pretty! All of the rooms had either a balcony or patio space as well. You have private beach access, the ability to rent a variety of beach items, pool, splash pad, mini golf and more! They had a schedule of activities (similar to what you would get on a cruise ship!) and so much to do to stay busy. Overall the resort was beautiful and we can't wait to come visit again!

We loved that there were dog treats and little gift pouches in the reception area. The pool area is big and had pleasant lounge chairs.

The chicken and waffles was amazing and the bagel sandwich was delicious.

Located on a stretch of secluded beach, the resort has a wonderful "Old Florida" vibe. The two bedroom, one bath apartments are "beachy": tile floors, comfy furniture, good beds, well-equipped kitchens. Website photos are spot-on! 2. Led by owner Wendell, the staff--Flor, Lillian, and Carol--meticulously maintain the property. The paint's fresh and colorful, landscaping is impeccable, everything's clean, and every issue is addressed immediately. When we had a small glitch with our air conditioner, a repairman remedied it as soon as Wendell learned about it. 3. There's a real sense of community among the guests, many of whom are regulars. Because of its small size, there's an intimacy that we seldom encounter in larger resorts. Our dog Mo made friends with everyone, including other four-legged visitors. 4. Guests are welcome to no-charge commercial grade washers and dryers, fridges and freezers full of snacks and beverages, a barbecue area with gas grills and tables, and plenty of beach-side seating. We even caught a couple of SpaceX launches from the beach. 5. Outdoor activities: I'm a cyclist and the stretch of A1A that SSR sits on is perfect for flat-land riding. Sebastian Inlet State Park and Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the nation's first NWR, are close by. I'm not a fisherman, but other guests did plenty of fishing from the beach. 6. As city dwellers, we don't spend much time driving. That said, there are plenty of excellent restaurants within a half-hour of SSR. Two of our favorites: El Ambia Cubano and Oh Biscuit in Melbourne.

This exquisitely refurbished property, along with its manicured landscape, draped in Palm Trees and local well maintained natural flora, and its tranquility well keeps the aura, prestige and Art Deco-ish persona and spirit of the era and the location. The cottage was fabulous. The accommodations are superbly comfortable (the bed was super comfortable) and pleasant with full kitchen - and tools of a full kitchen trade (i.e., coffee maker, silverware, plates - and they offer creamer, coffee, sweetener, and then some... who does that?), a full bath (albeit small by today's standards - not a complaint mind you - leaving more room for comfort and convenience), clean, colorful and beautifully appointed throughout, nice and quiet, and the living area with plenty of room to lounge out and relax after a long day of leisure! The folks here have done a brilliant and thoughtful job of renovation and accommodation! You get your own little patio table and chairs, a small cascading water feature... and a Grill if wish the hassle - not me! Also the property offers its own sandy beach rendezvous area, a nice long dock to stroll, fish in and/or for docking your boat, the place also offers grills, and canoes and kayaks too. They state in their intro "enjoy the old Florida lifestyle" and they're absolutely right and on target. This fabulous hideaway on the Indian River (the intracoastal to the Atlantic) is a marvelous retreat locale for anyone, especially if you're a beach bum or lounger. Peaceful, tranquil and relaxing. Luckily, my daughter lives nearby, so from now on when we visit the family, we have a new place to stay.

Last May, there was an article in the Herald talking about IVC in Sebastian FL, right on the Indian River. It sounded too good to be true and when I looked closer online, there were nothing but 5 star reviews! This immediately set off alarms like buying on Amazon and you look at the reviews, all 5 stars, yet all on the same date and within the same hour! Hmmm, but when checking out IVC, these appeared legit! So I got on the phone and spoke with Beth. She was very cordial and explained how careful they all were and each Cottage (while sharing neighboring walls), had their own A/C unit and separate entrance. There were sanitized with Ozone/UV light and sealed with no entry for days before your arrival. Each cottage is different (there are 12), but for us the 7 units that are pet friendly was one of best conveniences. As a dog owner, one knows that a pet can and will have an odor (no matter how hard one tries). But with the Ozone/UV cleaning, the smells are eliminated as well as COVID free, talk about win-win! The cottages vary from single rooms with kitchenette, to multi-rooms with sun porches. They all have either a full or mini fridge and microwave. Best part, you can park right outside your unit and unload, no steps or elevators to deal with! We made reservations and prayed that no Tropical Storm would ruin our Labor Day Weekend at IVC. I can't describe them all, but do check out their website, it is a perfect overview. They are small rustic cottages so keep that in mind. Upon arrival we were met by Tim and Beth, our hosts (from PA), why do I say that? Well there is just something about folks from PA, they just good people (of course I'm one too, so maybe I just recognized a good background when I see it). Tim and Beth both remained at a respectable 10 feet away (yes, it was hard not to shake hands, but sadly our new normal). They gave us the "lay of the land" and informed us that the cancelled July 4th Fireworks were rescheduled to this evening and we had prime seating on the dock! NICE! Our unit (4), was at the end, which normally I would be concern due to road noise (found out later that there were railroad tracks further west, but hardly heard the train at all), the A/C unit which needs to run constantly to keep it cool in the 90+ temps outside, masks any road and train noise. We had a dog bed and doggie towels, along with two small bowls, awaiting for our pup and best of all no old pet smells!!! Even our dog couldn't smell another dog! We unloaded the car (we always bring too much), which required leaving the door open for a long period. This left the unit warm and we were concerned that the small A/C wouldn't cool it off, but a few hours later it was good. We ordered dinner (was hoping for delivery, but the locals don't have that perfected yet, so we did pickup). Food can be a challenge during the age of COVID, but Sebastion has (as of this writing) less than 300 cases, so they don't worry too much about all that. The restaurants, while practicing safety with masks and distancing, don't do much in takeout and delivery. But the food was good and the staff was so nice and friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back and enjoy eating in just for the atmosphere. After diner it was Fireworks time and the show didn't disappoint! Tim and Beth were there too and offered a free beverage to enjoy the show. It did rain at the end, but it was a quick retreat back to our cottage. Next day I got up early, they had local ground coffee in our unit and a pot was brewed. Time for a walk to the dock with coffee and the pup. Ended up sitting there for two hours, just enjoying the river and birds. Dolphins even came by to say hello. A trip to the nearby Inlet (which also had limited entrance due to COVID) was a great way to spend the day. Could have also stayed and borrow a canoe or kayak and paddle out to the barrier island (no charge), but maybe next time. Next day was a nice walk to the local Riverview Park (just up the road). Folks were friendly and respectful of distance. What a wonderful walk with the dog and such a beautiful setting. We had to leave the next day, but not before thanking our hosts Tim and Beth. They were so warm and friendly, it made the trip feel more like visiting family, thanks so much. WE SHALL RETURN!!!
