Missing a bed!
The listing stated a futon downstairs. The pictures showed furniture that I assumed was a pull out sofa rather than a futon, which was fine. However, the furniture in the unit was not as pictured and there was no bed downstairs. I messaged the owner who did not get back to right away as he was overseas. When he did get back to me, he said a previous guest destroyed the futon and there was an air mattress in the closet. I would hardly expect us to blow up an air mattress and have a 75 year old woman sleep on it. So she slept on the couch. That is something that we should have been alerted to before we got there. And the replacement furniture was hardly new. One side of the couch was broken down.Other issues were a bit less important, but still annoying. No coffee pods, the coffee container in the cupboard was empty. No little snacks usually left by the owner. No tea kettle. No gas in the grill. No bath soap. No hair dryer in either bathroom. Both baths had only 1 1/2 roll of toilet paper. And the closet with the snorkeling equipment and games was full of the air mattress and cleaning supplies. We were not going to go digging through that mess.We enjoyed our stay because the location was very nice, but if we were to stay in the Kawama Yacht Club again, we will find another unit.

Great location
This is in a prime location in Key Largo. You could literally never leave the property once you buy groceries. The pool was warm and clean. The lagoon was right outside out back door. You can feed the fish and swim with them also. The unit was very clean and well maintained. It has a full size washer and dryer. The only thing we didnt find was a blow dryer but that was no problem for us. Also, they is wildlife on property that kept us entertained. I would definitely stay again.

Wonderful property for all of us to enjoy.
Gated community in Key Largo and it was easy to come and go for activities/dinner off the property. The lagoon and two pools were enjoyable. Granddaughter loved the fish in the lagoon and the docks to jump off of. Our unit had kayaks for the lagoon which were used often. Had a large outdoor shaded area with tables and chairs which was nice as we play games as a family. Our unit was clean and had everything we needed as far as the kitchen, beach towels, kayaks, washer/dryer. Screen in porch was a nice addition. Everyone was friendly and we enjoyed our time spent at the property.

We stayed a week in the wonderful resort at Kawama. The lagoon was right in front of our unit. There were beautiful tropical fish in the lagoon as well as tarpons and lobster! The 2 pools were heated and delightful to swim in. We love walking out to the end of the jetty each evening to watch the sunset. It was a fantastic place to spend a week and soak up the sun.

Relaxcation
Incredibly relaxing 8 night stay. Ideal location in Key Largo and in Kawama. Very clean and homey Condo right next to the Lagoon (very cool history) and close to the pool. Everything on hand to stay right where we were, or easy access to go out and about. Some tropical storm activity got in the way of diving, but didn’t impact our enjoyment of the property. Charming beach eclectic decor, bringing me back to my childhood summers at a beach cottage in ME.
