My kids and I surprised my husband with a two night stay in the famous Suite #3 at the Bridgewater Inn. It was the best birthday present we have ever given to anyone. Our family had a blast. The hospitality was outstanding. Our neighbors were even invited to come out and join us for the fun. We caught lots of... More

Right on the water, watch the sun set and watch it rise over the water. Dolphins and manatee are there also for your viewing pleasure. Everything close by, places to eat, artsy shops to brouse, bait shops for your fishing supplies, even nightime entertainment. Well worth the trip.

Like johnny Cash says; "I've been everywhere man"! BUT I ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE BRIDGEWATER!!! Drive to Heathrow (STRESS!), flight to Miami (STRESS!), drive from Miami (not so bad), arrive at the Bridgewater (RELAX), I'm home. This place never changes and that makes it all the better. Great views, rooms, fishing and I've not found anything that Bob and... More

We just returned from the bridgewater inn after a long weekend with my wife and son as well as other friends that stayed in another room. We were attending a sporting event in nearby Cape Coral and wanted to stay in a hotel that would lend itself to some relaxation rather than the usual off interstate chains. Well, we found... More

I had a fantastic stay at the Bridgewater Inn. Bob and Diane were great hosts and were always available for any questions. I stayed in room #2 which looks out over the water. It has two beds and a pull out couch plus a living area and dining area next to the kitchen. This room could easily accommodate a large... More

We picked this place because of its proximity to the Tropic Star ferry to Cayo Costa, and because it was recommended. It's fun because it's perched on a pier over the water, and the outside has fishing-related decor. If you have a boat, you can park it below the motel. The deck has chairs where you can relax and/or fish.... More

Unique and a bit rustic, yes, but talk about FUN! Every room is within 10 feet of the water, and it's no swamp, but beautiful clear, fresh, ocean. Every single day I saw dolphins swimming and playing, and also a couple of manatees. I could have stocked an aquarium with the fish I caught right outside my room, and I... More

Picked this place over the web and thought it was unique because it is built on piles. It is possibly a little expensive because several of the eight rooms were vacant during our two-day stay during the prime tourist season. I fish, but did not bring my gear, and would recommend it to any one who fishes. Others did and... More

We'd checked out reviews on line and decided to leave the Florida beach scene for something more "old Florida" - this place was perfect. Dolphins and manatees and more fish than you could count right outside our room door - I even heard fishing jumping as I lay in bed at night through the open window! Great fishing, easy walking...
