Nice place to stay. Rooms are small, so if you have more than 2 adults, it can be tight. Luggage is where it gets tight. Nice breakfast downstairs by the pool. Full service bar opens in the evening. Weather was accommodating so we sat outside to enjoy the bar. Swimming pool is one of the biggest i have seen in the Keys. All and i would stay there again.

The property looked just like the pictures, super cute and the staff was very nice. We rented bikes from them and they were perfect for riding to old town and all around!! The bed was super comfortable and parking wasn't an issue. We got a spot right in front of the property.
Will stay there again next vacation.

Great vacation from the time we checked in, very helpful and friendly staff! We were upgraded to a cottage and the onsite salt water pool was refreshing. We liked that it was set apart from Duval, but still able to get there in 15 mins. Very clean! We will be back
