It cost way too much for a room with an outdoor toilet and shower it was nasty. The staff was not helpful at all. Imagine what it’s like using the toilet when it’s raining. This wasn’t not stated in any email.

Bathroom outside!!

It would have been nice if they would have told me a head of me arriving that our bathroom was outside!!! We couldn’t take a shower this morning because it was too cold outside. There was no outlet in the bathroom and no mirror in the bedroom. The place was clean with plenty of towels. I only give it a 3 because of the bathroom. I was very disappointed by that. The rest was fine.

Cute little cottages, all painted in a bright color. Grounds are kept clean and manicured. There is a small Tiki bar that was fun, drinks very inexpensive. No pool. Only c/o is that cabins that are adjoined have no insulation, so you can hear your neighbor. Luckily, ours went to bed by 11pm, but I could foresee an issue if you got a bad neighbor. No breakfast, but free coffee at the Tiki bar.

The tropical cottages was a spectacular place to stay. Online check in did not work well and the lady i dealt with when i arrived spoke zero English, although she did get me checked in and showed me to my cottage. The scenery outside the cottage was beautiful, and the cottage itself was inviting and comfortable. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Not what we expected

Thought we would have an individual cottage but it was actually a duplex with some unexpected noise from the other unit on the other side of the inside door. Also surprised that we had to go outside to use toilet/shower--yes, they were sufficiently private, but it was during some of Florida's coldest winter weather and an indoor bathroom would have been preferable.

From the moment we opened the door, we felt welcomed. The room was spacious and had touches of hospitality from the bedding to the bureau with a coffee area. The roosters woke us early! We saw a manatee from the the dock outside.

Such a gem! The Mexican food truck on the property is a 10/10 and the bar is great! Very unique property! If you’re looking for authentic Keys experience this is it! Not an elegant 5 Star Hotel and that’s why we loved it! Clean, comfy and cozy!
