Visiting Sebastian Before You Move

If you’re moving to the area you should explore like a local! Here are a couple of top hotel options:

Best Western Plus Sebastian Hotel & Suites
At the Best Western Plus Sebastian Hotel & Suites you’re sure to find that little something extra. With our modern amenities and thoughtful design, the Best Western Plus Sebastian Hotel & Suites will stand out among other hotels in Sebastian

Capt Hiram’s Resort
At Capt Hiram’s, we believe vacationing should be the easiest thing you ever do. After all, what more do you need than a cold beer (or perfectly poured scotch), fresh-caught seafood, warm sand, palm trees, and a tropical breeze? This, plus a collection of 86 guest rooms and suites with romantic river views, live music, riverboat tours, and a full-service marina, has made Capt Hiram’s one of Florida’s most unique and beloved destinations.
