Highly recommend visiting Estero Adventures!

(After filling out all necessary wavers and such.) If you follow the map and listen to instructions, I think most people should be fine. We went in the off season, so the water wasn't too crowded.

It was okay. Didn't rent a boat so I have nothing to say about that. We did bring a Blackstone and that was fun. Cooked just about everything on it, including some awesome breakfasts. Got to see more of the fam than per usual. Group site had a number of tables but not much shade so be careful. One nice part was that it was farther away from most other sites.

Although it wasn't an ideal time for whale watching he took us out 7 miles from the coast & we saw 2 gray whales & plenty of pods of dolphins. On the way back to the marina the wind picked up & we were cruising at 8 knots & the front of the boat dipped in the water. It was exciting & thrilling. This was the highlight of this trip to the central coast. Captain Kevin is awesome & we can't wait to see him again when the peak whale season starts.

There are lots of adorable little shops and boutiques, dog friendly restaurants, seal / otter watching, and a great beach for surfing or relaxing. A great spot to get fresh seafood.

Captain Stew's was a fun boat cruise that got our family up close to the resident sea otters…read more Their promotion is $10 bay cruises ( 5 for kids). True to it's name, if you have the cash you have a seat. To begin your voyage you and your group gather outside Captain Stew's office on the wharf. For all intents and purposes his office is really just a door with a grease penned phone number on it. Apparently you call the number and some person tells you to wait for the boat to show up. We just waited outside his door and walked right on board when he landed at the dock. No reservation needed. The tour is about 45 minutes, blankets and binoculars are there for your use. The captain does a good job with facts about the bay while trying his best not to hit the many kayaks that are tootling around. You'll probably see at least fifty sea otters as they're everywhere in the Bay. There's one other stop the boat makes on this trip and that's to pick up more/drop off passengers on the other end of the wharf. - Kids get a free stuffed fish - Yes, that's a Budweiser sign above the Captain's office door.. - There are several negative reviews for this tour, mostly along the lines of cancelled reservations. Look, would you trust a pirate with a reservation? Probably not, so just show up and if he's sailing that day have fun...If not, there are other outfits you can check out.. -Recommended

The chicken breast is tender and crispy on the outside, which is delicious. Usually, we need to wait awhile for the order to come as there is only one chef.

If you are looking for five star fancy, 50 inch TV, this is not your place.

Booked one of the cabins for a long weekend with some friends for a relaxing retreat from the city…read more This place exceeded all expectations. From the start, the staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The manager, Layla, personally greeted us at check in and gave us a lot of great advice for the local area (where to eat, rent boats, etc). Whenever we stopped by the main office on our way in or out, she remembered my name and checked in to make sure everything was going great. We didn't run into any real issues, but I could tell they would have diligently solved them. Once we got to the cabin, the breathtaking view of the lake from the cabin and balconies was so serene. There was even a little private beach (only about 20 feet long) which we share with a few of our resort neighbors but was mostly empty. Perfect to dip our feet in the water and jump on the boogie board -- literally 2 minute walk from our balcony. The food options are a little limited, but the remote nature is one of the perks of this place, so I can't complain. What I ate from the local pizza joint and grocery was all tasty. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and eating utensils so you could definitely take care of yourself with ease. The beds were comfortable and AC strong (both musts for me). Overall I can't really think of anything I'd change. Except maybe staying 2 nights longer.

Absolutely blown away (in the worst way) by our experience at Lake Nacimiento Resort…read more We spent hundreds of dollars to camp there and even rented a pontoon boat for the day--so not exactly low-effort customers. Everything was great... until we tried to leave. At the exit, we were STOPPED and told we could not leave unless we produced a small paper camping tag that had been sitting on our dashboard. If we couldn't find it? We would be charged AGAIN for our stay. Yes, seriously. We offered to show our reservation confirmation email, proof of payment, and anything else they needed. Didn't matter. We were told it was "the tag or nothing." No flexibility, no common sense, and apparently no ability (or willingness) to look up a paid reservation in their own system. So let me get this straight--you can spend hundreds of dollars with them, have a confirmed reservation, and still be threatened with duplicate charges over a flimsy piece of paper? And the best part? No one tells you at check-in that this tag is required to EXIT the property or you risk being charged again. According to staff, it's written in the fine print on the back of the tag. Because yeah, everyone reads the fine print on a parking slip while setting up camp. We eventually found it crumpled in the truck, but by that point the damage was done. The whole interaction felt less like customer service and more like being held hostage by a bad policy. We camp all over the place and have NEVER experienced anything like this. Entry verification? Totally normal. Exit enforcement under threat of double billing? Completely absurd. For a place charging premium prices, this kind of treatment is unacceptable. If you're planning a trip here, just know: guard that little paper tag with your life... because apparently it matters more than your actual reservation and payment. Needless to say, we won't be back
