We enjoyed our time in the Keys and this little cottage was our little area for rest after a long hot day. However, every day we came back to the cottage hoping to take a dip in the pool only to discover the water very cloudy, dirty and most often so green you could not see through the water. My daughters only got to swim in it on day one of our week long stay. We were told it was from the rain water, but the neighbor's pool stayed lovely and blue and clear. Not buying it. It simply wasn't kept clean until absolutely necessary. We were offered the use of the kayaks instead, but they too were left by other users in a very messy condition and not upkept by the owners. The kitchen was sufficient for cooking a stay in meal, and the area for sitting was comfortable as was the bed. We slept like babies on the comfortable bed and pull out. A couple of evenings it was still cool enough to enjoy time on the covered lanai. Overall, the cottage was nice and accommodating but lacked the final piece of heaven we were looking for at the end of a hot day...the lovely pool shown in the photos. I would recommend this cottage if you plan to stay out on your boat all day, or simply need lodging after touring all day and don't want the use of a pool. The boat docks were fairly decent for users as well. The grassy area surrounding the cottages was fairly over grown and desperately in need of a mow which looked really shabby after the beautiful property next door had been maintained from top to bottom. All in all, the cottage was so so but did the job of being a place of rest and sleep...nothing more which was disappointing. We wanted refreshment in the pool. If the pool is a swaying factor for you, I would go elsewhere. If it is just a bed and kitchen you seek, then I think this place will do fine. Personally, I left feeling I could have spent the same amount to lodge elsewhere and still receive the amenities promised.
