This is a laid-back "Keys-y" kinda place, a hidden gem right on Buttonwood Sound in Key Largo. The…read morecoolest thing is that each cottage comes with its own Catalina 22', a very stable easy-to-sail boat with a swing keel (or a fin keel) and a little 4HP motor. We had so much fun exploring the sound, North Nest Key and the mangroves in the Everglades National Park and made memories to last a lifetime! The resident staff - Jenn, Chuck, and Mike - are so welcoming, and helpful, and they take great care of the property and boats - not just the Catalina sailboats, but a Sunfish, a Hobie Wave, numerous kayaks, and paddle boards - and fishing gear. Cottages are a little quirky, and if you stay in the Main house, a lot quirky, but I found that to be part of the charm. My fellow sailors just found it weird. But we were able to comfortably fit 4 adults in the cottage and watch the Olympics on a TV the size of a dining room table every evening. Such a wonderful place we are planning an annual trip

Unfortunately the wind picked up on the second day and a small craft warning stopped us from sailing after day 1. We stayed in the "Captains Cottage", which turned out to be a lot nicer than the photos -- close to the water, and quite nice inside. The place itself, as others have noted, is pretty quirky and could be seen as run down, but we liked the charm. Along with the sailboat there were lots of kayaks, two smaller sailboats and other watercraft all available at no extra charge. People gathered each evening in the waterfront hut to have a beer and chat. After a couple of days we felt like we were part of a family there, and when we moved on to a condo in Tavernier we really missed that feeling. Practically next door are two nice waterfront restaurants (Snooks and Bayside) with great waterfront views. We are recommending this place to everyone we meet!

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.
