This operation was pretty solid, and the cabin was nice and clean. Parking is close to cabins, which made it easy for me to load/unload bags and scuba gear. Staff was friendly, and works hard at keeping the grounds spotless and full of life. Would recommend, and plan on going back.

Loved it here. It's different. The outdoor shower in the cabin that I had might not be for everybody.

The cottage itself was super cute and the bed was incredibly comfortable. However, the floors creaked so much it almost felt like there was air underneath them, and the bed—while cozy—felt like it might collapse if you moved too quickly. Getting in was also frustrating. We arrived late, couldn’t access the cottage, and it took multiple calls and about 20 minutes to finally reach someone. After flying in from North Georgia, we were just hoping for a hot shower, but the hot and cold knobs were reversed and the water pressure was basically nonexistent. Cute place overall, but definitely needs some maintenance and attention to detail. It too us

We loved our stay at Tropical Cottages and will stay here again if we’re ever in the Keys again! The bed in cottage 6 was super comfy and the property was extremely quiet. It was close enough to everything we wanted to do or see!
