“Beautiful Sunset and Fabulous Food”
This was my third stay at Tarpon Lodge and though we could visit Pine Island for only one night, the tranquility of the place and staying at this gorgeous historic lodge made it feel like a much longer trip. Peggy walked my daughter back to the car with an umbrella after check-in during a short rain shower and she gave us coffee to warm up. Walking around the property later was like taking a step back in time to a much more relaxed era. Sunset over the dock was almost unbelievable in color, and the pelicans and Great White Egrets flew right past us as we explored. Watching the last of the sunset while eating dinner at the Tarpon Lodge Restaurant was wonderful as was the fresh, delicious and creatively prepared food. Our server was skillfully trained, attentive and friendly, and it really was such an unexpected treat to find all this at an off-the-beaten path place. This was a fabulous experience all around.
