The property atmosphere is very nice. The tiki bar area had some music playing but it was not too loud so I appreciated that. Conveniently located in the middle of Marathon and easy access off of US1. The only downside I saw was that there did not appear to be space to accommodate a boat or trailer should I decide to bring my boat with me on a future trip.
Interior was fresh and clean. A touch rustic but nice.
Outside area gave a sense of privacy with pathways and small patio for each cottage.

This was a truly unique stay extremely private, very quiet. On property there is a tiki bar and taco truck serving wonderful food and great drinks with beer on tap and other choices. We felt very welcome. We sat in the Adirondack chairs outside our cottage, and there's also a private area through the French doors in our cottage, number 2. We arrested in the most comfortable bed. The cottage is well air-conditioned. Eerything about that college is extremely comfortable We had delicious tacos and fabulous drinks the night before. There are a couple of well-cared-for resident kitties on the property who are friendly and the staff was very helpful and attentive.

Clean property - well equipped cottages and great vale for money. Could make a bit more of the tiki bar and food truck on site, as we might of used them rather than go to a local restaurant.
