A note from your hosts
Come as our guest.
Leave feeling like family.
For more than two decades, Stacey and Dave Watson have welcomed couples, families, boaters, and old friends back to this little corner of Clearwater Bay.
We keep things personal: clean, comfortable rooms, friendly local advice, daily housekeeping, and a place where you can slow down. Some guests have stayed with us for more than ten years—and there is no compliment we value more.
