Beautiful area to enjoy Sunset and dine by the water. Got to see beautiful iguanas!
Such a great little spot to relax and get the "Keys vibe." It's not the fanciest place in the Keys, but it has character and charm galore. I scuba dive, so my wife wanted a chill resort to hang out while I was diving. She loved it. They have a wonderful pier and are at the perfect place to watch the sunset over the bay. Theres a great pool and a little ramp for their kayaks. We will definitely be back.
Extremely cute room!!! Everything was clean and convenient. The beds and bedding were excellent! Even though we only stayed one night, I would definitely come and stay several days. It was a lovely stay!!!
I loved my stay here! I accidentally arrived a day early and the ladies at the counter were so accommodating and helpful. All of the employees were incredibly friendly and cheerful. Location felt super safe and was centrally located, easy to get to.
We have been frequent customers. We like the place.

Really Nice Owner and Staff….Nothing Fancy - Clean Room - Nice Beds - Small Pool - Good Value but No Services Offered - If Looking for Nice Pool/Beach /Bar - Breakfast…..This is Not the Place
Great Location Near Restaurants and Shops -
We Booked Room Since Listing Said “Fishing Pier”
Owner Did Not Allow Since Crocodiles Nearby
The staff was incredibly unprofessional and just downright not friendly. But the room? Even more awful! I have never seen a dirtier “resort” room in my entire life! There were stains all over the bed, hair, dirt and grime in the bed. Mystery dried liquid on the walls. Stains on the curtains. Mold in the AC vent. The bathroom vanity had water damage like you wouldn’t believe.
We checked in, and after inspecting the room, we checked out the same day. We couldn’t bear to sleep in that filthy bed!
We notified staff that the room was unclean and were told “We can’t give you clean sheets until morning. You should have asked for them at check in.” Which tells me they don’t put clean sheets on the bed after each stay. DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE!
Staff incredible friendly and helpful. Needed to include any extra person during our stay, no issues. Great facilities, loved kayaking and other opportunities. Very family friendly, beautiful quiet spot and comfortable beds. Would highly recommend. Added bonus of lots of iguanas roaming the grounds😍

Booking in a rush!
I booked the hotel in a rush. Didn’t realized our friend’s weeding was in Key West! Not in Key Largo. When I tried to cancel it was too late. I lost my $, the system didn’t allowed me to cancel and I had to book another hotel in Key West!
