Marathon Key
Quick trip to the keys. Only 1 hour from Key West. Cottage was clean and comfortable.
Fresh coffee at the tiki each morning.
Would stay there again
This was a truly unique stay extremely private, very quiet. On property there is a tiki bar and taco truck serving wonderful food and great drinks with beer on tap and other choices.
We felt very welcome.
We sat in the Adirondack chairs outside our cottage, and there's also a private area through the French doors in our cottage, number 2.
We arrested in the most comfortable bed. The cottage is well air-conditioned.
Eerything about that college is extremely comfortable
We had delicious tacos and fabulous drinks the night before.
There are a couple of well-cared-for resident kitties on the property who are friendly and the staff was very helpful and attentive.
Cottages are clean. The chairs and tables everywhere to sit relax. Staff was very nice.
It was my moms 80th birthday and she just wanted to go away. She enjoyed the Tropical Cottages good time was had by all. Will come back again.

Disliked: Amenities
you get what you pay for. The cottage I stayed in was old, floors were un even, sofa bed was terrible and dirty, had dirt and hair on it. bedroom was small and cozy. I was hoping for more based on the reviews. I was a bit disappointed.
This is our second trip to the property for vacation. It never disappoints. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and really care to make our stay enjoyable. We always stay and chat with the housekeeping staff-they are what make everything feel like “home”. Gracias a todos por su hospitalidad! Hasta la próxima aventura!
Ciao,

Clean property - well equipped cottages and great vale for money. Could make a bit more of the tiki bar and food truck on site, as we might of used them rather than go to a local restaurant.
