"I would not recommend this property at all. It’s basically a low grade motel. Room was dirty and in need of major repair. Grounds were unkept, garbage spilling over. Staff were rude and extremely unhelpful. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else. "

"Staff were friendly and helpful. Nicole and Mona were fantastic bartenders at the tiki bar. Perfect get away. "

"While this property was adequate, there were a number of annoyances we encountered in our 5 night stay. The toilet was clogged upon our arrival. Maintenance guy pulled out a bar of soap. Very embarrassing for my partner who had used the toilet and couldn't flush it. Ants on the counter and table. The staff came and sprayed Raid on the counter and said an exterminator would be there the next day. The film of Raid remained so we couldnt use the counter until housekeeping cleaned it. I asked for NO housekeeping upon our arrival but someone was in the room at least twice and didnt actually clean it but left a few toiletries, took 2 towels, but left the others. AC unit was working but cycled on and off all night which is not great for a light sleeper. On the positive side, they offered free kayaks but it was difficult to arrange for one because the staff weren't sure when they were available. Even though 5 kayaks were sitting on the beach seemingly unused, the staff said that they were being used by someone. 10 minutes later, all of the kayaks were available even though none had moved. The staff was pleasant and friendly but i got tired of asking for situations to be resolved so i gave up and made do. Everyone is expensive in the Keys so the price was OK...$1227 for 2 people for 5 nights. Good parking. Ice machine was free. Laundry machines were available..around $2 to wash and $2.50 to dry but we didnt use them. The beach is OK, grassy bottom, rough sand and 3 docks.Comfy beds"

"Outside of town - located in an RV park and the room was hard to find. Check in is @ 4 but the office closes at 5. The door to our room “Jacks Room” is located in the office building but there was no label. The whole room shook starting at 8 am when the office door opens and closes. It was very clean and modern but won’t be back."

"Yes very convenient to excursions. Breakfast was good. Expensive for just cereal and fruit."

"This was like a bad after school special. Keep your shoes on"

"The room was nice and we especially liked the free snorkeling gear."

"The guest rooms are nicely, appointed with towels, enough bedding, extra pillows and was super clean. Loved that there were games we could play on the beach as well as paddle boards and kayaks as well as bikes. Staff was super helpful when needed, but weren’t loitering around bothering us all day long, which was nice."

"Ocean view is much nicer."
