Manatees are herbivores; they eat marine and freshwater plants. Manatees take up residence primarily in Florida’s coastal waters during winter. Some individuals migrate as far north as the Carolinas or as far west as Louisiana in summer. Manatees have swum as far north as Cape Cod, Massachusetts in recent years!
Well known for their gentle, slow-moving nature, manatees have also been known to body surf or barrel roll when playing. They normally rest and feed often. Manatees communicate by squealing under water to demonstrate fear, stress or excitement.
No inflated holiday rates for this 4th of July Day weekend- in honor of our tough economy! Use the savings to pay for your gas and still have money left over.
Normally our rates go down on May 1st but high season Holiday Rates apply to dates like the 4th of July weekend.
This year, you can take advantage of the low everyday rates with just a small surcharge for the holiday and the savings will more than pay the cost of gas from the east coast of Florida or even further north in central Florida.
The only restriction is a 2-day minimum stay. Applies to new reservations only.
Come by car- come by boat!
The Esplanade is just about 1 mile from the Marco Island Lakeside Inn and offers several great dining options- C.J.'s on the Bay, Mango's Bistro, and Tara's Steak House. Dine inside or out! Great views of Smokehouse Bay!
