A wonderful stay! Great staff, service, and rooms! Very comfy bed with lamps on both sides for reading. Great shower and kitchen! Breakfast was much more than “Grab and Go. We held a large family event here and Parmer’s couldn’t be more accommodating.

A Gem of a Property! If you have ever wondered what the Florida Keys were like before the mega corporations took over, this is it. Charming, with so many personal touches that it instantly feels like home. Location is fantastic, quiet with great amenities, and only a beautiful, easy drive to Key West or Marathon. Excellent fishing in the area, dockage for your boat, and your dog(s) are welcome too. Enjoy!
