The property was beautiful with lots of lush tropical plants. The downside was that the interior of our unit was palpably moist. The efficiency aspect of the unit enabled us to eat breakfast each morning before heading out. The “beach” on the property was well maintained and provided gorgeous views of the water. Use care with the paddleboat - the rudder was not working correctly and we had to go in circles to get it back on land.

Paradise found!

There’s a reason all the reviews scored so high. You’d be hard pressed to find a more private and inspired place while in Maui! Fabulous doesn’t describe how well the grounds are maintained. The staff was equally excellent looking after your every desire. Directly on the beach with free use of all their equipment. I can’t say enough good things. You’ll regret staying anywhere else!

A little bit of paradise

Great place to turn off the iPhone and relax. Bring your snacks, build a charcuterie board or two and pop a cork. Wonderful calm area to kayak or paddle board even if you’re not a pro. Nice bay cove with iguanas! Sue and Steve’s hospitality is exceptional.

Lovely oasis just outside key largo. It’s a strip of land where there’s 10 individual bungalows and ours was beautifully furnished. The grounds are well lit & the strip leads down to private access to a beach / marina which provides paddle boards / canoes & pedaloes. There’s hardly any access to beach / marina in key largo or around & all properties section off their own portion of the water. Bed very comfy & very relaxing. Hosts very friendly too. Thoroughly recommended.

WOW !

I don't think I ever titled a review "WOW." But it's finally time. This remarkable little place is a cultivated and designed environment of paradise. Behind a security gate (for which guests are given the code), is a row of adorable casitas. Each is wonderfully landscaped, and beautifully appointed. They sit along a stone paved alley that leads down to a private beach on the Bayside. All sorts of little places are available outdoors to relax, read, listen to small fountains, look out of the water, and watch the sunset. Included are kayaks, a paddle boat, and a beautiful little dock with Adirondack chairs to watch the sunset. At night the stony drive illuminated with fairy lights and electric torch lights. It is nothing short of otherworldly. The caretakers of this small property are so friendly, approachable and devoted to the needs of guests and the creative cultivation of the property (eg every morning they comb the beach sand like a Zen garden). The smallest of amenities are provided like dehumidifier in the room, insect repellent, and each little casita has a small kitchen. Truly one of the most unique, beautiful and relaxing, small resort properties in South Florida.

this is probably the best maintained beautiful little resort cabana style inn. the property is well situated with a several different areas to hang out and swim or sun. parking is limited to guest so having friends over that are not booked in is not going to work well nor does the management really like it. but very lovely and a great place to hang out.
