Featured Review on BedandBreakfast.com: "Absolutely Amazing!!"

This is absolutely the best bed and breakfast - period! My wife and I stayed at the Port D'Hiver for our honeymoon and we had the most amazing time. I would describe it as almost a tiny resort with privacy, elegant rooms, friendly and very helpful staff and the most amazing food! We originally only planned on staying 5 nights and then driving north to Orlando to spend the remaining two nights at Disney - that all changed within the first couple of hours. Upon our arrival we were so taken back by the quality of service and accommodations that we changed our original plans, canceled Disney and added another night to our reservation. This is truly a couples get-a-way with a truly romantic setting. The candle lights at night, the 24-hour spa pool, private spa in your room, and the Atlantic ocean for moonlight walks. It has all the elements to make for a very romantic getaway. Words don't do the Port D'Hiver justice. I highly recommend anyone who reads this to check it out for themselves, and be prepared to be blown away.
