Search Cabin Rentals in Lower Matecumbe Key

"I recently stayed at this hotel in Key Largo, and overall, it’s a mixed experience with some clear highlights. The biggest plus is how genuinely pet-friendly the property is. Not just “allowed,” but truly welcoming—something that’s rare and very appreciated. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful and calm, perfect for disconnecting and unwinding. Valet parking is not only efficient, but the team is also genuinely kind and helpful—one of the standout aspects of the stay. That said, the property itself feels a bit worn. Not terrible, but definitely showing its age. The overall concept leans heavily toward a “do-it-yourself” experience: you need to pick up your own towels, get your own ice, and handle small things that you’d normally expect to be taken care of in a more full-service hotel. Another downside is the lack of guidance at check-in. No one really explains how the amenities work or what’s available—you’re essentially left to figure everything out on your own. Service overall is average. The staff is polite, but nothing stands out—no real sense of going above and beyond. The beach service, in particular, is almost nonexistent. If you’re expecting to order drinks or food while relaxing by the water, you’ll likely be disappointed. The restaurant is good—solid, enjoyable meals—but not particularly memorable. It does the job without trying to impress. For a stay that cost over $2,000 for three nights, you naturally expect a higher level of service and attention to detail."

"We been staying at the Islander since the early 90’s. When it was family owned. It has always been a favorite place to stay for my wife and I. Since hurricane Irma destroyed it, and it has basically been rebuilt. It was always a beautiful place, but now the landscaping foliage and updates have made the place unbelievably perfect. It offers mini golf, bocce ball, PickleBall, volleyball, shuffle board.Bikes and Kayaks our available. So there is plenty to do if you’re an active person. However, if you want to just relax there are plenty of private areas to just sit back and enjoy the ocean views on the most comfortable outdoor furniture Imaginable, that sits among the beautiful palm trees and foliage. It’s inclusive, so you never have to leave the property for your entire stay."

"Everything was amazing exactly what we expected. No surprises great staff. We really enjoyed it!"

"muchas cosas incluídas. Desayuno, bicicletas, kayaks, piscina 24hrs, etc. buena localización. hermosos alrededores."

"Check in is off property. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Water pressure and temperature was wacky. The water temperature was never constant. The mattress was hard. But we still had a great time! "

"Every aspect of our stay was awesome for our first time visiting The Keys. Everyone in the front office, to the people that maintained the property and guest rooms, and especially to the two gentlemen making made to order omelettes were wonderful. We loved our room and the view of the ocean was spectacular and with the most beautiful sunrises each morning. Starting the day with a delicious breakfast was wonderful. We very much enjoyed the beach, the hot tub and the pool. We drove down to Old Town and had a wonderful time before returning to our beautiful guest room. Can’t wait to visit again!!"

"Wow this is a hidden gem in Islamorada. We stayed for only 1 night but we regret not staying longer. The service is great. Upon arrival the lady in the reception is super kind and sweet. Was always smiling and attentive. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable. We stayed in a cottage and it fitted us perfectly. They offer continental breakfast which is juoce, yogurt, toast, coffee. The atmosphere felt very relaxing and tropical, exactly what you want for a getaway in the Keys. It has many spots to watch the sunrise. We really enjoyed our stay. Definitely coming back."

"Had a great stay, our second tone at this property. If have kids that want to play on the beach this Ain't the place. Water access is with stairs and during low tide its not very deep. For me and my wife just looking to relax, it was awesome"

"Such a beautiful property, but our room was tired, dark and need some updating! Ours had stained carpeting and felt very damp, like it hadn't been overhauled since the 80's. Everything was clean. Lots to do - great activities (fishing equipment/bait, kayaks, paddleboards, etc.), security, views, etc. Staff was friendly. Main areas and restaurants well maintained, as well as beaches. "
