WHAT PAST GUESTS HAVE SAID

While visiting Congo Breeze, there were so many opportunities in the area for great adventures and so little time! We really had to do our research on what would best fit our family with kids ranging from 5-8 years old, but also knowing, as parents, we wanted a relaxing fun filled vacation we could enjoy as well! And let’s be honest, parents need a vacation that feels like a vacation too!!! We started the vacation off with Legoland which was about 2 hours away from the Punta Gorda Airport. The kids loved it, but it is aimed at pleasing parents as well! If you like to have an adult beverage on vacation but have a vacation aimed at making your kids little dreams come true this was the place! Traveling around with a bucket of beer anywhere your kids wanted to go was a definite perk! I would have to say visiting Sanibel Island by boat and land was an irreplaceable experience, ranging from the isolated beaches you could only get to by boat to the restaurants we visited right next to the water! We picked up some boogie boards, snorkeling gear, and floaties from the Publix right down the road from Congo Breeze and our boys had a blast!!! We rented our pontoon boat from Sunny Cape Boats. The experience with them went so smooth! The father/son team dropped the boat off just on time and docked it for us, and came and got the boat so we did not have to worry about transporting the boat anywhere other than where we wanted to go! I cannot recommend this company enough! Not only did they follow through with all expectations, but were very friendly and welcoming to the area, as well as willing to help with any questions we had! There are 2 restaurants at the very top of my list for when we go back. One was Bimini Bait Shack, located in Punta Rassa Florida, and the other was just out of the canal from Congo Breeze named Boathouse Tiki Bar and Grill. The Bimini Bait Shack and Boathouse was that perfect example of a family friendly environment, yet a place parents get to really feel like they are on vacation too. The bar at the Bimini Bait Shack was one giant fish tank (which my kids loved) and they even had swings as seats surrounding the bar. Along with this was live music and a perfect seating scenario! The whole inside was opened up to the outdoor seating seamlessly at both restaurants. The Bimini Bait Shack had the best fish tacos I have ever had (that I’m still trying to recreate) and my 6 year old devoured an entire plate of gater bites at both restaurants! :) My husband and I are not much into revisiting places we have already been to, but with how amazing this house was, how attentive the owners are to their guests, and the priceless moments we had with our family this is one place we can’t wait to revisit.
