Overpriced Dump

It’s a dump inside and out. Called a bed and breakfast. Has a dirty bed and no breakfast. Don’t waste your money or time.

This place is way over priced ($350+/night). There were roaches in our room. It is not a bed and breakfast, which is how it was listed. As soon as I paid for the room, I received an email saying they do not offer breakfast. The beach is covered in seaweed which smells like rotten eggs. I know this is not their fault but good to know before spending a lot of money on this place. There was a lot of trash on the beach as well. It is not a swimmable beach due to the seaweed. They have kayaks available but to use them you will need to make your way through 6 inches of mud, seaweed and flies to get the kayak into the water. The room had a Keurig and some coffee pods but only a plastic cup or a wine glass to drink coffee out of. They provided creamer and sugar but nothing to stir the coffee with. And did I mention the roaches!!!

Quiet and scenic view, perfect for relaxing and disconnecting from the daily rush, hotel breakfast was very nice to have, not driving around, was simple but fresh and healthy choices for a small breakfast convenient to find good breakfast spots and dining places within driving distance, about 45 convenient and fun drive to key west

I wish I had known, and this is my fault for not knowing that the Keys beaches aren't usable. We tried to kayak once but the beach was so rocky so far out that it was difficult, swimming was impossible. The location was very quiet and not touristy like Key West, which is what we were looking for. The breakfast was abysmal (packaged bagels, yogurt and cold cereal), I've had better at a Best Western. The location is right on the Atlantic and parking is free and easy. The treehouse is rustic and has a shower the size of a submarine shower and bring your own body soap. But its nice and private and separate from the main building. The key deer visit nightly and are adorable. If you want to read a book in the sun or shade and watch the sea all day, this is a nice place to do it.

Private, paying for the location for sure. Right on the beach. My husband saw one key deer. Unfortunately the room we had was in the main house upstairs and was not meant for a 5'6" and a 6'1 couple. Ceilings low in the bathroom area. No privacy for toilet either so ideal for 1 person but not 2.

A very tranquil location. Upscale construction that doesn't seem quite finished. There are bikes and kayaks on site for guests. Located right on the water but the beach is not swimmable due to shallow water and limestone/reefs. A very lite Continental breakfast. Staff was friendly and helpful. A good location if you are looking for peace and quiet. .

Amazing experience

Absolutely one of our favorite places we’ve ever stayed! Had complete privacy, an ocean view from our room, beautiful room, great shower & cold AC! The scenery was breathtaking and the Key Deer made it an unforgettable experience!

The location of the property was great and we saw the key deer on property and nearby. The room and bathroom were very nicely decorated and clean. The bed was comfortable. The beach front area had some trash that needed to be picked up and the home could use some landscaping. We did not stay for the continental breakfast so can not speak to that. Check in was a little challenging; I did not receive the e-mail day before check-in that I was expecting but did receive a phone call. However, that came up on my caller ID as Calvo Construction so I thought it was a spam call. So we were stressed out about check in and payment which is made just prior to arrival via a link sent by phone.
