I didn't understand why you had to walk up the stairs or use the ramp to use the facilities until I got up there. It is an amazing view that definitely could not be appreciated from the ground. The rest rooms were clean and nice. I checked out the vending machines and they had my favorite Yoo Hoo in a glass bottle. Unfortunately didn't have my purse on me. Due to the long walk back up and down I had to pass until next time. Notice the beautiful seashells that are around the manicured ornamental grass. This place is immaculate!

I was here early afternoon and did spend the maximum amount of time, first taking a nap and then spending some time working on my laptop to attend a Zoom call and send some emails. The rest area is large enough for bigger vehicles, there's a full service restroom here with some vending machines and there is of course the tremendous view of the water from here. It is well worth your time to stop here and enjoy some nature before you get back onto the highway. [Review 388 of 2025 - 2038 in Florida - 23950 overall]

I had to use the bathroom so badly I was rushing and he started giving attitude at me for not wanting his hat. I came here to pee and if I was I would after using the bathroom. But now you made me feel so uncomfortable I stay far away. I ended up even giving a tip to maybe have him relax and be friendlier to people and it was taken in an angry way. Whoever is in charge here, this veteran has obviously mental issues and should not be in a public place like this.

Ok heres the verdict;…read more It's clean has a crap ton of parking. Which is kinda ironic to. The bathroom although spacious? Has 4 stalls (2 handicaps/ 2 regulars) and that's 2 on each side with their own doors. Not a clue on the ladies side but given that there were 4 urinating stations? My guess it has 6ish stalls. There's no paper towels just those machine that dry your hands from super wet to wet. Don't even know why even have em. They're is 24/7 security though. The gentleman did his rounds last night fairly. Smoking area is all over the place, just walk up to the planter looking cement structure n ride the nicotine dependency. I really wished they weren't right up front where kids walk right in front of them. Vending machines have a snack broker that will cut off a finger for you just incase $3 ice cream, $2.50 coffee, $175-2.50 candies and $2.75 soda is to much for you. Guys there's literally infinite amounts of gas stations down the road with better deals than this! Like you can buy a Whole large pizza for $7 at a 7/11!! If a guy stops n buys his 4 kids 2- 3 of each? Don't ya worry old chap! I will take your finger....... The snack broker will cough cough! Lol i'm obviously kidding about the snack broker. There is a huge sign stating that if someone offers extra services that they aren't part of the rest stop. So if there's a dude that washes your hands, combs your hair and even fixes your tie? Yep u just got serviced by one of the examples on that sign lol i had a situation like that a couple years back in a gay motel. It was hella funny. I praised the front desk for the excellent bathroom attendant n then he was like......!? What BRA? We don't have one! O_o There's also that whole situation that happened many years ago with that chick targeting lonely dudes. I was living in motels n in my car. My days to a year leaving the island. I had nowhere to call home. I had a job n i was content with "Car-ping" until someone told me about that lady killing dudes at rest stops!! Florida for ya! They make em super wild here! Lol my point is that please be careful. Like i said , place is cleaned and theres a security guard. My only beef is the tiny bathroom options n the food of the gods prices on the snacks. I wished that they offered tire pump services even if they charge for it. Also huge HUGE! Heads up! When u are rolling into this stop? Slow the hell down! The entrance is a freaking S n you will definitely crash into the lake if you go in fast! I had my scare last night. Not a fan of driving at night cuz my perception goes out the window. Kept power drifting on the 85 degree turns. Stay on the left the first tine and then the right for cars. Didn't even have time to see the signs, they are tiny!

A nice place for a stop off I-4 The westbound I-4 rest area…read morein Polk County, Florida, is a well-maintained and convenient stop for travelers.
