“Best B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 6, 2013

I sent my mom and her husband on a 3 B&B tour as a gift. Cane Creek was the last of the three and they reported that it was by far the best. Fantastic hospitality, food, service, extras like the stocked beverages and fireplace. They couldn't rave enough! In fact, their review was so high that my husband and I are going there ourselves this weekend!

Room Tip: Ida May room is probably the best one.

“Great weekend stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

This B&B was just wonderful. The rooms and the view were magnificent. Andy provided an awesome breakfast every morning. The only issue is there is a train track nearby but was not too much of an issue. Andy has a fresh herb garden on property, so each morning our plates were accompanied with a sprig of fresh parsley. The weather was cold while we were there so each morning the fireplace was going in the dining room. The decorations of the whole B&B were just wonderful. Everything flowed so well. The complimentary wine they have on stock was also very good! There was also background music playing throughout that was tropical and put you in the mood for relaxation!

“Loved this Inn !! Great place for overnight stay before flight from Orlando.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

Hubby and I stayed at Crane Creek Inn for the last two nights of our 25 day trip around the coast of Florida. Naturally we were a bit 'down' as our fantastic trip was coming to an end. But staying at Crane Creek was the icing on the cake AND the cherry on top ! Andy even managed to get us a reservation at the most popular restaurant in Melbourne on Valentine's night within the hour !

What a lovely home, great interior design ideas and colours by Bambi and the help yourself coffee/tea/ soda/beer/glass of wine is a wonderful gesture. The bed was amazing, so comfortable and the Inn offerred so many options for either sitting on a porch in private, or next to the pool, or overlooking the Creek watching the dolphins, or in the hot tub.

Previous Reviewers have mentioned the night trains going past, but they didn't worry us, we were so relaxed and knew we could choose to lie in bed late and before 10am be enjoying one of Andy's freshly cooked breakfasts.

Andy and Bambi have really gone the extra mile. Great fast speed free Wifi plus the ability to use the pc and printer to print off our Boarding Cards made the whole process of flying home less frenetic and I would certainly recommend staying here as it is a great place and so close to Orlando airport.

“Great B&B on the river”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Great room overlooking the river in Melbourne. Service was great, food was fantastic. Try Andy's world famous pancakes. Couple of trains pass by quite close during the night but was a curiosity rather than a bother.

“One of the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

We've stayed in many B&Bs and this is now on the top of our list. We will definitely return. Andy is a great host! The breakfast were made to order and fresh each day. There were plenty of places to sit outside and eat breakfast in privacy if you prefer. The scenery from our room was spectacular. We viewed dolphins, manatee and many coastal birds.
