Stayed four days. Everything was good. Except on the last morning we saw one roach in the kitchen area. But that is a problem they have in Florida even in the best hotels.
Had a few days to kill between work meetings so I wanted to do the keys for a few hours. Couldn’t get a decent room down there so this popped up. Ok looks alright let’s do it. Got my key from the nice lady and left for the keys. Came back at 9 at night and realized I got a room with sever water damage and mold. Whole place had swollen up freshly painted baseboards and door jambs. Within 5 minutes my head hurts. Within 15 my sinuses are jacked up. They tried to cover it up with paint and pinesol cleaner to mask it but after reading the reviews on google I’m not the only one that had this problem. Got up early to leave and the water was turned off. Couldn’t shower, wash my face, brush my teeth or flush the toilet. Could be a cool place but was a sever waste of $200
We had a nice stay. We were looking for a clean, conveniently located place to sleep while touring the Keys, and this fit the bill. Friendly and attentive staff, and very clean. It is easy to drive past it, be careful to go slow when you get close.

Great place to stay on a budget
The stay was great! The area was amazing, the price point was very good, and the facilities were good. The property manager was excellent, helpful and extremely nice. They have free paddle boards and kayaks which you can use the canal to paddle up to the Curry Hammock Park. The room was a little out dated and the WiFi was spotty or it would have been all 5’s.
Our room was incredibly clean, staff was very pleasant, welcoming and helpful, pool was very clean, entire facility was warm and inviting. Our stay was enjoyable, thank you.
A good night in the keys. This property is central to many of the things you would like to do. Love the fact that it was a short drive to 7 mile bridge and Bahia Honda State park. We arrived late in the evening and our check in process was very simple. Did not get a chance to use the amenities because we were up early the next morning and on our way to the next stop. Would recommend anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay at a very reasonable rate. Thank you.
