    Shower was beautiful and the faces the windows so you can see all the sailboats from the bed.

    We received great service. They gave us coupons to some of the near by restaurants. Our cottage was cute and clean and looks like the bathroom was new, the shower was a beautiful ocean color tile and big! Our bed faced the windows to a view of the water with sailboats in the distance, beautiful to see laying in bed, didn't need the TV on, hahhaha. They offer free kayaks to use, they give you 2 hours to explore, we seen stingrays which was awesome. Very pretty place, sat on the dock with a drink and watched the sunset.

    Cute property. We didn't stay long. We checked in late at night, and checked out early in the morning. So I didn't really get a chance to explore all that they had to offer. The room was really tiny. Just a bed and a bathroom. Which I guess was all that you need? We weren't mad about that. My problem was more so the air-conditioning. There's a window unit on the wall. It was very noisy. It also was continuously kicking on and off. So you couldn't fall asleep because it was making so much noise turning on and off the whole night. Finally I turned it on "fan only" so it was a continuous noise. Within about an hour the whole room was so humid I was soaking wet.... an impossible situation.

    Pros - it's in Key Largo and has access to the water and kayaks. Room was clean and appeared recently updated. Cons - room had an overwhelming odor of some perfumed cleaner. The free breakfast was packaged pastries, cereals, and juice/coffee. Please don't advertise that you offer breakfast when you're providing little more than a cheap snack. In our room, the "hibiscus", the air conditioner unit was positioned directly over one bed in a window. It ran off and on all night and was loud as heck. It didn't keep the room cool despite setting it to 70 degrees F. There has to be a better place to stay in Key Largo - this just doesn't cut it at the price we paid for one night ($200).

    This is an amazing place to stay if you really want a relaxing key largo get away with a homey feel to it! On our recent trip to Miami we decided to take a few days to relax in the Keys. I did my research and found these cottages tucked away in Key Largo. Which only a handful of cottages and a private beach, this was what I was looking for. We rented the SailAway Suite with a private beach, back patio with bar and dock. It's a perfect place for a couple or a family. It's 1 queen been with a pullout couch, full fridge and a 2 burner electric skillet. The dock had a daybed to lay out at the end of it! The property was so amazing we decided to head to the local store and grab a few things to grill on Weber grills proved. Kayaks were provided for a 2 hour period. We took advantage for that and did an evening/sunset tour. The only reason I can not give 5 stars, is because it is a little dated as far decor, furnishings and electrics. 5 stars for property, private beach, staff and relaxation. We will defiantly be back again

    Great place to stay in the Keys! The rooms and beachfront are very clean and quiet, staff are friendly, and good vibes abound. Breakfast was disappointing -- sliced bread, cereal and packaged sweets, no fruit or protein, with lots of styrofoam -- but supermarkets are nearby to stock your fridge. There are both single and double kayaks to take out on the water, all of which seemed to be in decent shape. Water along the beach is perfect for wading or swimming, or just dipping your feet and watching the tiny fish swim around them. Check-out is a little early (11am) but you can stay later and enjoy the beach; there's a shower and bathroom near the breakfast area and the whole place is pretty empty between 10am and 3pm.

    This place looks like something out of a 60's/70's surf movie. There are few things I love more than that decade of surf movies, so I was immediately smitten. It's a Bruce Brown film made into a little camp of palm trees and cottages. We were checked in by a cute hippie and sent to our tiny room that we reserved ahead of time called "The Banana Room" which I know sounds like a male strip club private suite, but I really like bananas...and dick, soooo.... Now when I say this room was "tiny" I mean that I could have folded it up and put it in my pocket. It was like 10x6...you know, the size of the large unit at Public Storage? Well this room would have fit inside it...with room to spare. I both hated and loved it. The actual property was beautiful. Right on the water, hammocks and kayaks (free for guests to use) and lots of places to sit and relax. We were able to walk to a bar down the way and dinner from here, but in general, there isn't much around this part of Key Largo. We bought a bottle of champagne at the CVS across the street and enjoyed it while we watched the sunset from one of the tables over the water...absolutely perfect. They have serve-yourself breakfast in the mornings in the little kitchen and it was superrrrr cute (just basic continental breakfast crap, but the kitchen and dining areas were adorable). I would stay here again I think, but I would probably book a bigger room and would again only stay for one night. It's the perfect place when you need a vacation from your vacation. Oh my god, what a spoiled little brat I sound like/am.

    We really shopped around for a budget friendly place to stay and I highly recommend this place if you're ever in Key Largo. It's really cute and the least expensive place I could find during spring break season. It's an unbelievable deal! Plus the kayak rentals are free for hotel guests! And of course they have their own little beach and docks... it's a total steal! We are loving it! We are staying in a suite with two rooms and it's super nice with an amazing view. But this whole place is really tiny and cute. The staff are super friendly. Only complaint was there wasn't much soap in the room when we got here, but I bet if I go ask for more they would be happy to give it to me. They are very accommodating!

    This place was the hidden gem surprise of our vacation. Here are just some of the perks: -super crazy clean -nice vibe -cheap -good location -nice hammock/lounge chair/dock -laundry facilities -cute decor -friendly staff

    Pretty cool cottages that were probably built in the 1950's. Staff was great and they have kayaks that you can use. Easy snorkeling off of the docks and great location. The rooms are a little tired but they were updating while we were there. I think we will be back.

    Awesome place...like others have said, very clean. My wife checked the mattresses and every nook and cranny. I love the vibe, we sat at the docks, enjoying the view, sunset and relaxing while drinking some cold brews from our cooler. Spectacular sunset! It's somewhat worn and it's the only reason I didn't give it a 5 star

    Stayed in the Conch Villa as part of a pretty large wedding event. The first impression when…read moredriving into the place was, "What could possibly be back here that is going to work for a wedding?" However, the answer to that was surprisingly great. The villas have separate rooms with common areas and the one I was in had three bedrooms. The bedroom situation was similar to a hotel room. A nice comfortable bed, a private bathroom, generous closet space, and - most importantly - a good stable temperature even with the thermostat being out in the hall. A ceiling fan helps with circulation, which is great too. The only real downside I can think of is that two of the bedrooms are on the second floor, and you need to take this into account with your luggage as there are no elevators. Well, that and the fact that the finish of the stairs blend into the floor at the bottom so if you are older this might make for a physical perception problem as well. Anyway... Parking is a little tight when the place is full, but the location worked out really well for the wedding ceremony. Out on the point you can see the sunset across the water in the evening. Manatees frequent the dock which are a sight to behold. Across the dock there was a nice flat area on hard sand that was perfect for the reception. Yes, there are water activities including dolphin interactions across the boarder from what are the villas, but I can't make any comment on that part since I didn't manage to even visit over there.

It felt very personal and welcoming. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The daily coffee and scones were amazing! It was fun to get up every morning and see what new flavors of scones awaited us. We started every mornings with fresh, warm scones and iced coffee on the beach. We ended every day with a glass of wine on the beach, watching the sunset over the water. They have kayaks and scuba gear available for use at no additional cost.

She is so kind and conversational, and offers guests complimentary coffee, hot cocoa and fresh scones every morning. How nice is that? She also offered me a postcard and said to feel free to write it out and the staff will mail it. It is just the little personal touches that make this place so quaint and special. The grounds are beautiful and well taken care of. Love the view of the water and the relaxing beach chairs. Our room even had beach towels and the most fragrant spa products. We were so impressed we booked another night next week coming back into town before our departure from FL. Such a nice place.

There are 5 houses located on the property and we rented all 5 (for a reasonable price!). This allowed us to have the entire property to ourselves (which isover 2 acres) and it also allowed us to have people stay right on property with their own space. We were able to have a full weekend of fun. On Friday we had people over that were already in the area for a cookout on the beach. We used one of the speakers on property to connect our music to and just had a relaxing time. On Saturday we had our reception and Bryan and Meegan setup the tables and lights just how we wanted them. The reception was perfect - everyone could be spaced out and sit and relax wherever they wanted to on the property; using the hammock, sitting under one of the many tiki huts, at the beautiful bar, or just relaxing near the beach. On Sunday we had people come back by to use the facilities. There are kayaks, paddleboards, and sand toys that we used. We also bought a couple fishing poles and were able to catch fish right off the dock (you caught a fish everytime you threw your line in!). Everyone enjoyed themselves and had a nice relaxing time. We saw a shark, many fish, manatees, and dolphins. We will definitely be back for family trips! Many people that commented that they wanted to rent the whole place out for vacations as well. Meegan and Bryan did a fantastic job checking in on our needs and making sure everything was going well for us and our guests. If we needed anything they were quick to assist and gave us great advice on where to eat and things to see and do.

The check in lady was great. But here is where things didn't quite come together. We were given room 202. When we checked in, we were told that there would be someone at the front desk 24 hours a day. At 1130 pm, we realize that our toilet didn't flush very well, and just needed a plunger. I had to ring the desk several times and finally did get someone around 12:15 AM. I requested service on the toilet the next day, but that never came to fruition during our two day stay. We did get a plunger. In the meantime, there were several other issues with our room - general aging with a lot of rusty metal parts, furniture falling apart, a non-functional toilet paper holder, no extra toilet paper, no hand soap, a shower handle that was extremely loose with a large nail hanging out of it, missing lightbulbs, and peeling paint. The beds were decently comfortable. The housekeeper was nice. The property has a very small pool. And some good shore access. Can go fishing on the dock. Strange local family hanging out there like it's their backyard. No breakfast. Nice coffee/drink maker. Would not choose to stay here again.
