There is so much to do at Casa Encantada that some guests choose to never leave during their stay. And, in fact, if you choose our provisioning package, you never have to leave! Your groceries and drinks will be there waiting for you when you arrive! Fishing, kayaking, biking, swimming, sunbathing...do all of it or simply relax. Choose the Boater's Package option for beautiful trips to local waterfront bars and restaurants, nearby beaches, islands, fishing spots and uninhabited coves. In the town of Palmetto, a virtually undiscovered "old Florida" historic town, the locals are warm and friendly. Casa Encantada is gated and fenced, with the exception of the waterfront, for your privacy. There is a totally fenced area just for your dogs, complete with a warm water shower...also with a waterfront view. The tropical lagoon pool has a beach entry, waterfall, baja ledge and swim up cocktail table. There is a large standing cooler under the tiki hut for your ice/drinks as you sip a cocktail by the pool . A float box has numerous floats for the pool. The game Corn Hole is right there for fun family competition! You'll enjoy sunbathing on the spacious pool deck, relaxing in a hammock or sitting under the fan in the shade of your own private tiki hut. The tiki hut's bar is cleverly designed from an old ship's rudder. We also have a ping pong or pool table for your enjoyment and fun!
Facing due West on secluded Hooker Bay, just 5 minutes by boat to Tampa Bay, the sunsets are unsurpassed and are a daily main event. The waterfront deck under the huge banyan tree is perfect for watching the sunset, dolphins and manatees. Every evening, thousands of birds fly by at the first hint of dusk, and head home to Emerson Point, a bird sanctuary just 2 miles north. Great blue herons, spoonbill rosettes, sea gulls, cormorants, night herons, skimmers, ospreys, egrets, pelicans often stop by for a snack of bait fish right on your beach, just feet away. Hookers Bay is known as the best fishing spot between the Manatee River and Tampa Bay. Snook, redfish, trout, flounder, mangrove snapper, even tarpon are plentiful. Your 'front yard' is a legally protected manatee feeding area. You can wade or kayak out and watch from as close as a few feet away. Or you can see them from shore as they come up for air.
