Islamorada vacation
We had such a nice time at the Windley Cottage. The owners effectively communicated information about the home and check in before the stay, making arrival very easy. The home was very clean and had everything that we needed. The Anglers Reef area was nice and quiet. We enjoyed walks to the docks, kayaking, and swimming in the pool. We absolutely loved Islamorada and hope to visit again!

A Week in Paradise!
Wonderful, well-maintained, clean home in paradise! Roger and Linda communicated before, during and after our stay to make sure everything was perfect. Morning coffee on the porch, lunch by the pool, and several delicious restaurants for dinner, nearby. Our teens had plenty to do from swimming, to fishing in the boat basin, and fishing charters out of Key Largo. A day trip to Key West is also very manageable. We loved the daily manatee visits to the boat docks on the property. A safe, quiet gated community that really is a place we hope to visit again very soon!

Great spring break getaway
We just spent a week at Windley Cottage and had an amazing time. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 4. Everything was comfortable and we felt very safe and at ease in the community. The property was centrally located to what the keys have to offer. Communicating with Roger and Linda was so easy and they were more than helpful with questions we had. I would stay here again in a heart beat and recommend it to anyone.

Another great time at Anglers Reef
We've visited Angler's Reef many times over the years and haven't been let down yet. First time in Linda's & Roger's home. It is a very nice home; furnishings nice, appliances all work, home was just as described. Owners were easy to communicate with; converted twins to King and arranged dock access for us in advance. I'd highly recommend to anyone.

Beautiful house and area
The house we stayed in was immaculate and so attractive-exactly as pictured. We felt very safe in the gated community. We used the kayaks and pool and walked the area frequently. We rented bikes and had great areas to ride in. This was a very quiet, relaxing vacation. Lots of waterside restaurants to enjoy. The owner, Roger, was a great communicator.

Beautiful Islamorada Cottage
The Cottage was in a great location and had everything we needed for our stay. From the initial questions we had to our last day there, the owners were prompt and on top of everything. The cottage itself is beautiful and warmly decorated. We stayed the week before Thanksgiving but the owners had a some Christmas decorations up which made us feel at home. We will definatley stay at the cottage again.

Great house, great community, great location. The kayaks, pool and dock for fishing were enjoyed by our group of six families, including 3 generations in multiple houses. Publix, restaurants and other activities are close by.

Perfect location, beautiful, and CLEAN!
This house is beautiful, updated, and so clean! I really cannot overstate that. We travel a lot with our boys, and I typically don’t mind much, but always hope the location is clean. It was spotless when we arrived. The house has high ceilings and tons of space, convenient laundry set-up, and I think we counted, like 30 steps from the large pool. It’s in an enclosed neighborhood, and my younger two ran around with other kids playing manhunt at night. With the privacy fence around the houses, we felt they were very safe. Access to paddle boards and kayaks, this place is perfect for families. Our hosts provided tons of local knowledge, contacts, and things to do. It’s close to marinas, restaurants, ice cream. Loved it!!

Great property
Great location in the keys, one of the more upscale gated communities in the keys. Nice pool area, plenty of water activities included. Two private beach areas. (HOA needs to add sand). House was nice, clean and had a very easy Bluetooth app that locked and unlocked the doors. Great idea when you are at the pool or on the water not dealing with keys. Overall experience of the community was great. We went with 2 other families that rented in the same community they did not have to pay to use a boat dock. We put $350 down and ended up not getting a boat we let the owners know a week before and we couldn’t get our money back. I checked the boat dock space while we were on property and it stayed empty all week. Felt like the right thing to do was give us our money back , especially after finding out the others didn’t get charged to begin with. Also, as mentioned above the house was great ,the area was great but the master bedroom mattress was terrible. They need to buy a new mattress. It was very uncomfortable, no comfort left in it at all. Either very cheap mattress or old mattress. We added as many blankets on top of it as possible to try and help. Another item to note is the garbage pick up comes twice on a Saturday to Saturday stay. Impossible to sleep past 445am. Woke everybody in our house up each time, as well as the other two families staying in anglers. Overall stay was great except the mattress. Would recommend if they put a new mattress on the bed.
