What guests think

Sebastian Saltwater Lodge earns consistent praise for its waterfront setting, clean updated rooms with kitchens, friendly staff, and convenient access to a well-liked restaurant/bar and marina, making it a relaxing, walkable base with scenic views.

Many like the spacious studios and townhomes with river-facing patios or balconies and comfortable beds. Drawbacks include stairs in multi-level units, occasional maintenance or key issues, limited outlets or light-blocking curtains, and, in one case, small cockroaches; parking can also be inconsistent. Travelers can expect a calm, low-key getaway.

This is the best palace to stay for a fishing trip or water related activity. We were in for a wedding. I would still go back and stay again regardless of the reason I was in town. It’s a bit dated inside but clean and has the necessities to cook and stay there. Great view from the rear porch. Great bar and restaurant on premises.

Parking was occasionally an issue. They have signs saying parking was for the lodge but other people parked there. They should enforce their tow away policy that is posted. There were very few outlets to use in the room. Otherwise it was very nice!

What a great spot! And having the Saltwater Restaurant/Bar right next door with their amazing food made it even more enjoyable. Plus you are walking distance to some other wonderful restaurants and bars!! Went for a walk along the river each morning. Wish we knew about this place before. Already recommended to friends.

Hotel area is excellent with many restaurants at walk distance and a good restaurant inside the hotel. Rooms are very clean, with refrigerator, microwave and electric stove with oven. Hotel staff is very nice. Rooms in front of marine at very few steps away with spectacular sunrise view. Only complaint is that there were several small cockroaches on the room, they should fumigate frequently.

We have stayed at Saltwater Sebastian (and Captain Butchers) many times and have always enjoyed our stay. Management has done a nice job with upgrades. However, there were some issues. The headboard to our bed squeaked whenever one of us moved. The drain to our shower backed up. The electronic key to our door was not working. Outside of that , we did enjoy our stay.

I loved the water front location. There was a ton of space in the townhome. Things to improve upon: a larger TV/a starter pack of laundry detergent and dryer sheet. No one wants to buy a big box of detergent to do one load while travelling. The kitchen was very well stocked. I personally do not care for the outside patio table and hard chairs. Not good for elderly folks. Luckily the old patio chairs were still there so it worked out fine. We really enjoyed our few days there, so relaxing. Thanks for everything.

This property isn't quite what I expected. The two bedroom 2 bathroom, was actually one bath, and one half bathroom. The full bathroom was shared between the two bedrooms, the half bath on the first floor. There are two flights of stairs, not mentioned. With heavy luggage this was not idea. Seemed lacking in hand towels and other little things. Perfect place for boaters or fisherman who want to rent a boat and stay there. Not exactly a hotel, more like a vacation rental. Curtains and shades do not cover windows completely allowing light in.
