I just spent 4 terrific nights at the Crane Creek Inn! It was my second visit, so I knew what to expect. The rooms are spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable, the breakfasts delicious and plentiful, the view of the river is breathtaking and the host , Bob was very friendly and helpful. I really didn't want to leave! I'm looking forward to my next visit, hopefully in the fall. I highly recommend the Crane Creek Inn to anyone.

Crane Creek is the only place for me in Florida! This is the 4th or 5th time I have stayed and I think the Inn is beautiful - a home from home. The rooms are as clean and fresh as the first time we visited and the Inn got hit by hurricanes twice in one year! So hats off to Bob for keeping the standards up - the welcome is warm and the food and accomodations great. The beach is within 5 minutes and has protected areas for turtles, we also saw manatees and dolphins in the Creek outside the Inn this visit and the blue heron was sitting on the nest next door and just hatching her eggs, I could watch the world go by from the deck for hours - yes there is a train but it is not intrusive in fact I don't hear it anymore! Can't wait for my next visit....

I travel frequently, both for work and pleasure. I have no real desire to 'earn' points and privileges by staying at standard, cookie-cutter hotel chains. Frankly, these standard type hotels have given me more problems than I can remember.

Therefore, I actively seek out privately owned and operated establishments. Yes, the price can be higher. But, I've found the pride of ownership and the personal touch is so much more rewarding. I work long hours and expect both respect for my privacy and serenity when relaxing in the evening.

I have recommended the Crane Creek Inn many times to my friends and work associates. I feel quite at peace and welcome everytime I walk thru the front door. Sure, there is a train passing often, but I was raised in the country...to me..it's music to my ears. Reminds me of my boyhood home in Pennsylvania. If you want a quiet, conveniently located, respectfully private and charming get-away, then make a reservation at the Inn, you will be glad you did.

The Crane Creek Inn has the understated and unpretentious charm that I associated with my stay in Key West: simple, attractive decor; great view of Crane Creek several yards away; privacy; and plenty of porches and terraces to soak in the southern atmosphere. Breakfast was plentiful and the Inn keeper was gracious about serving us early to accomodate our meeting schedule. A short walk to the many restaurants, bars, and stores in slightly artsy Melbourne.
