I shouldn't be telling you this because then you will come here and it will be more difficult for me to get a reservation, but......The Pines is THE place to stay wilst in Indian River !!! Located across from The Inn Between, it's in the of the action ! You can sit on your private dock while watching all of the boaters go by or take a seat at the Tiki bar complete with ( not one but two ) TVS ! Or build a fire in the pit by the water. Kayaks are available for use and dock space is reasonably priced and just outside your door . The owners are fun and friendly as well as the other guests
