Guest Access:
CHECKING IN
Self check-in with your own door code, sent before you arrive. The front gate is staffed 24/7; just give the guard the name on the reservation and you're in! Parking for 2 vehicles is included. Boats and trailers only with a confirmed dockmaster reservation.
The Neighborhood:
Ocean Pointe is a gated, 60+ acre waterfront resort in Tavernier at mile marker 92.5, smack in the middle of Key Largo and Islamorada. Best of both worlds!
Just up the road: John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the country's first undersea park, with world-class snorkeling and diving. Just down the road: Islamorada, the Sportfishing Capital of the World, plus sandbars, waterfront restaurants and plenty of happy hours. Nearby favorites include Theater of the Sea, the History of Diving Museum, Robbie's (go feed the tarpon!), the Laura Quinn Wild Bird Sanctuary and the Turtle Hospital. Harry Harris Park, with a waterfront walk and playground, is right around the corner. Grocery stores and pharmacies are minutes away.
Good to know: the Keys are coral islands, so our beaches are cozy, not Cancún. The real magic is on the water! The closest larger public beach is Anne's Beach in Islamorada.
And don't leave without a slice of key lime pie. That's basically a house rule!
Getting Around:
DRIVING DIRECTIONS
GPS address: 500 Burton Drive, Tavernier, FL 33070. From Miami, take the Florida Turnpike south to its end in Florida City, then follow US-1 south through Key Largo. At mile marker 92.5, turn left onto Burton Drive, just before the Circle K. Ocean Pointe is about half a mile down on the right. Speed limits in the Keys are strictly enforced, so slow down and enjoy the view!
PARKING
Each reservation includes parking for 2 vehicles. No commercial vehicles, RVs or jet skis.
WITHOUT A CAR
We recommend a car so you can explore. Uber and Lyft operate in the area, and Keys Shuttle offers door-to-door service from the Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports.
Other Things to Note:
All linens and towels are professionally laundered off-site by a commercial laundry service. Fresh and fluffy, every stay! Every condo also comes with 4 beach towels, so leave yours at home.
WILDLIFE: Ocean Pointe borders a protected mangrove and nature conservation area, home to ospreys, wading birds and a colony of feral cats. Please enjoy them from a distance. Feeding the wildlife or the cats is prohibited and can be fined, and the conservation area is closed to entry.
BRINGING A BOAT? Slips are limited and must be reserved through the Ocean Pointe dockmaster BEFORE you book. Please don't count on one without a confirmed reservation. Vessels must be 28 ft or less, with insurance and registration on file. Message us for the dockmaster's contact info. Jet skis and RVs are not allowed.
