I loved the vibe of this place! It's such a unique building to stay in. Our cottage could use some updates but everything was clean and comfy so I'm really not going to complain. Other than the loud people next to us I'd stay there again.

Our stay was amazing, our cottage was cute, clean and the bed was so comfortable! We enjoyed complimentary coffee every morning from the Tiki Hut. We enjoyed food from the food truck while we listened to The Tiki Seekers play live music. Location was super close and convenient to Publix, where we got the best Key Lime pie and steamed shrimp. We brought it back to the cottage kitchen and enjoyed a feast. Parking was ample and the staff was friendly and kept the place clean. Definitely will be back next year!
