Laughing Lizard Bed and Breakfast
The Laughing Lizard Bed and Breakfast has four unique guest rooms, each with private bath, and all the amenities needed to offer guests a comfortable and relaxing stay.
The tin-roofed, three story, island home was built in 2005 across the street from Indian Rock's beautiful beach on the Gulf of Mexico.
Guests can relax, walk the beach, watch the sunset, sip a taste of afternoon wine and in the morning, enjoy a full breakfast in "Lizard Hall."
Innkeepers Jan and Bill are on hand to offer ideas or suggestions about local activities such as a trolley ride to other beach destinations, a visit to the Historical Museum,a walk on the boardwalk through the Nature Preserve, or their opinions on the local retaurants.
This is island living, colorful and eclectic and fun.
