Manatees AND Dolphins!

House was very clean and well stocked. There were plenty of kayaks for our family to use. Short paddle to the main river. Kids had a great time on the slide and the water mat. We had a manatee swim by the rental house one day and saw 4 while kayaking on the main river. 3 dolphins swam by the rental house one day, which was a very unexpected surprise. Overall this was a great trip.
