We stayed here after spending 4 nights in Key Largo. The property is an older vacation resort in a great location. We enjoyed hanging outside with a fantastic water view better when the tide is up. The smell of the seagrass at times was a bit harsh, but when you have breezes it's not as bad. The pool is nice and a great place to cool off. We very much enjoyed our 5 night stay here before heading to Key West.

Best place to stay for the money

Room 20 was very clean although it lacked some repairs and updating it was in very good shape. Bed was very comfortable. The stay was just what we needed. Very quiet beautiful beach and great views of the sunrise. Pool was super clean and maintained well clear water and no smell of chlorine at all.

Room was superficial clean. Wiped bathroom backsplash before putting my toothbrush there and it was black. Same with shower. Handles on closet door also filthy. One old AC unit in living room which doesn’t really get to the other rooms. Apparently the restaurant there is separate however the pictures I took of kitchen from open door would probably be enough to close them down. 3 AC vent in dining area are black and full of black dirt and dust. AND entree’s run $50 - $60 !!!! We decided to come home early.
