Reading these Google reviews of Caribbean Shores and was happy to see all the great remarks. All are well deserved! I rented one of the cottages for a weekend in October to have a nice place by the water to bring my folks to sit and relax and escape the confines of the Assisted living facility they lived in down the road. Well, that never happened as my folks health and situation took a major downward spiral. Fred (owner) and Shane (Manager extraordinaire) couldn't have been more accommodating and understanding as my stay extended for that whole next week. My folks situation has brought me back to Jensen Beach several times since then for lengthy stays. On every occasion they go out of their way help me navigate the area, provided whatever services they have at their disposal. Most importantly, however long my day has been with my folks, I come back to a clean, homey, beautiful and tranquil place that feels like home to me. I read one review from 5 years ago that referred the place with words like rude, irritable, uncaring, etc...I can't even imagine that and so out of character for the good folks here...I have a feeling the hurricane they say they were avoiding hit this place when they arrived! I wouldn't stay anywhere else and you shouldn't either if you are looking for a place in the area!

Room was big and very clean. Pool was nice needed some cleaning, seemed to be neglected daily during our stay. Grounds beautiful and well maintained.Colorful lizards everywhere. Staff was friendly. We love the town of Jensen Beach and will return next year.

Rooms are clean, even smell like new almost. Quite comfy. Apparently they are dealing remotely as check in is through Ring doorbell even before office closes. After providing info as to the key they wouldn’t answer the doorbell again to tell me where room was so my only disappointment. Very well worth the money and as a stickler for a clean, bedbug free room (son owns a Pest Control Co. so I check thoroughly). More than you could ask for in this location for the price. I hope to be back soon.

Pros....pretty much everything! Only con was the pool, it was cloudy and had too many bugs. We stayed in the Herring Cottage and it was beautiful. Plenty of space for our family of five. Beds slept good and the pillows were awesome. It's on the river, a short drive to beaches and close to restaurants. I highly recommend and we will be back.

The staff at the hotel was friendly, courteous, and accommodating. The ambiance, garden, and pool are tranquil from sunrise to sunset with plenty of sitting areas for the guests. If you own a boat, there is accessibility for docking and parking. We enjoyed our stay in the cabins so much so, we rebooked the hotel for a week later. Rooms are remodeled completely. Car parking, WiFi, microwave and a refrigerator are included. We will visit again!

Love this place! The beautifully done murals along with the meticulous care of the property had me at hello. The hotel is a small little artsy, bay side get away with all the luxury of being right at home. The super clean room we stayed in overlooked the bay with a beautiful view of the two bridges that connect to the Hutchinson Island. Every morning there were folks walking out on the beautiful dock to start their fishing expeditions. It was peaceful and lovely. Another huge plus for us was that the local produce market was less than block away. We were able to buy fresh fruits and veggies and store them in the fridge for our entire vacation. It made for an easy and healthy snack when my hungry fisherman returned. Lastly, I like to express just how excellent the hospitality and kindness of the wonderful management was...they are awesome!

This place is amazing, very clean and comfortable! Close to everything. I came to relax and eat, the opportunities for both are abundant. It is a little hard to talk to staff as they oversee multiple properties but you can reach by text and are extremely nice and helpful. The rooms look and feel like they're brand new, the grounds and pool are very well kept. This spot is a GEM and the price very reasonable. Can't say enough good things about Carribean Shores!
