Clean grounds with beautiful winding tropical garden paths leading to cottages, tiki hut with live music in the evening, and a taco truck with authentic Mexican fare welcomed us. Friendly staff and clean, well-maintained grounds. A bonus for us was a resident cat. It felt like home.

The tiki was never open for service. The food truck never opened for service. The beach area was not a swimming area, looked like a dumping ground. The cottage was nice and the air conditioning worked awesomely. If you are looking for just a place to sleep this is not bad.

Beautiful, quiet, secluded cottages. Very comfortable and clean. Close to everything, just off the main road. The only reason for a 4 rating instead of 5 was that we could never catch anyone at the Tiki Bar or catch the food truck open. Was not that big of a deal for us as we were there for relaxation but drinks at the tiki hut would have been fun one of the nights. I would still HIGHLY recommend this gorgeous property!

Loved it more than our 4 star resort lodging

This was hands down the favorite lodging of the trip for the entire group. If you want to experience the true "florida keys" relaxed and zen experience, this place is for you. Although you could see the cottages have been around a while, they are well maintained and very inviting. The neighborhood is quiet, the ocean is at the end of the road (1/2 a block away), and the property will maintained.
