There's something to satisfy every palate just a short drive away. Head north to St. Augustine to experience the Elk house Eatery, Purple Olive, Viola's Italian eatery or the Paladar Cuban Cafe. If you prefer to stay in, our fully equipped kitchen and outdoor kitchen & balcony offer the perfect setting for a memorable meal with family and friends.
