Great place!
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and a great location to see one end of the Keys to the other. We walked everywhere. The only issue we had was parking but management helped us with that. The management was great and went above and beyond.

Perfect location, professional staff, secure entry and housing, walk to local restaurants and bars, far enough removed from the street to sleep peacefully- Will Do Over!
