The Suites at Fishermen’s Village- 2 Bedroom Suites
Incredible property that was well maintained and family friendly. There was live music at one of the restaurants/bars right by the water which was a really nice touch. The rooms were very of clean and spacious. Lots of nice little shops below the rooms as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Hampton Inn & Suites North Port
The green light on the smoke detector blinked profusely and was very bright and disturbing. We already had everything unpacked so we didn’t request a new room.
