About this cottage rental

Enjoy a unique and secluded vacation experience in the heart of Islamorada at Shady Palms! Our charming cottage features two private bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and a spacious living area that comfortably accommodates up to four guests.



There are many sights to see and activities to enjoy nearby. Within just a mile from our cottage is Islamorada's top-rated attraction, Robbie's Marina, where you can embark on a variety of adventurous activities, including snorkeling, fishing, parasailing, or sunset charters, as well as guided tours by kayak or paddleboard through the mangrove channels encompassing the island's coasts. During your time on the water, you may encounter fascinating marine species, such as manatees, Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and sea turtles. From the shore at Robbie's Marina, try hand-feeding the massive tarpon and friendly nurse shark species commonly found in our warm, tropical waters.



There's something to please every family member here in the Florida Keys, such as swimming with dolphins and sea lions at Theater of the Sea or learning more about the island's culture and history at the History of Diving Museum. Foodies will also enjoy a range of restaurants serving various dishes, including authentic Cuban and Florida Keys cuisine. Our favorites include Midway Café for delectable breakfasts, baked goods, smoothies, and the best Key Lime Pie Frappé! For dinner, consider reserving a table at Lazy Day's, where you can enjoy a superb ocean view from the comfort of their dining room and an excellent menu selection that will appeal to even the pickiest palettes.



After a fun-filled day traversing the island chain, return home to the comfort of your private vacation home, where you can rest easy and recharge. To help you relax, consider a dip in the communal, heated swimming pool, which is exclusively accessible to the few cottage homes at Shady Palms. Are you planning on doing some boating? Caloosa Cove Marina is just 3 miles south and offers competitive wet slip, trailer storage, and fuel prices.

The cottage/bungalow was cute. Not exactly as advertised. Annes beach is more like a sandy patch of swamp. The real beach is 30 min away at Marathon. Would have been fine if it was advertised as such. The two ice trays were empty. Salt and pepper were the only condiments. Bathroom doors was cut wrong. Leaves a sliver at the top. Dishes were chipped. No closest no iron or board. Had to hang whatever we had against walls. Property manager ask us to leave towels in tub. And dishes in dishwasher there were neither. Property was clean and cute. Low water pressure toilet. Need to level up a bit.

Upon arriving, we walked into the house and were pleasantly surprised. Very Clean, Well Equipped, and honestly I’d say one of the perfect little houses we’ve stayed in. The location is perfect. We loved that it included the pool. We would definitely stay again.

What an adorable little cottage. And it was so clean! Had everything you needed. It was also in a fantastic location. Had to reach out for a small issue with t.v. and the property managers got back to me in seconds and resolved my issue the same day in a very short period of time. Absolutely loved my stay. I only have one suggestion. It is stated that it is a place that can fit four. However, there is only one mirror in the entire place. That one mirror is in the only bathroom and it is not a full size mirror. It would be nice if the bedrooms maybe had a small mirror or a full size mirror so multiple people could get ready at the same time. Again, it’s not a complaint just a suggestion. Had no complaints. Great place to stay.

We had a very nice vacation. The cottage was located within a few minutes drive of all of the restaurants in Islamorada as well as Anne’s beach which my kids really enjoyed. We found much nicer sandy beaches in Marathon another 35 minutes further south. The cottage itself was very clean and has been nicely updated. The pool a few houses down the street is great. We spent most afternoons relaxing there after coming home from the beach. The cottage was fine for my wife and young children but for a family of 4 with older kids it may be a bit snug. It did not come stalked with any household items (salt, pepper, ketchup) and only a roll of toilet paper and paper towels. Also there were only 3 beach towels and no beach chairs. Lastly the shower water pressure was not much more than a mist. Overall it was still very comfortable and suited our needs.

We arrived after dark and the property manager had the cottage lights on making it so warm and inviting! Any questions we texted to the property manager were answered promptly. The cottage was perfect for my husband and I. It was in an ideal location to explore all of the keys throughout our weeklong stay.

We stayed at Shady Palms for 5 days. It was clean, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The pool was lovely after a day out on a boat. Highly recommend!

I booked the cottage as a surprise for my wife’s 50th birthday and it was a great choice. The place is absolutely adorable and has everything you need. It was spotless and perfectly located, includes private parking and a pool. The place looks just like the pictures except it’s even better in person. Tons of restaurants and bars within 5-10 minutes. I highly recommend it and we look forward to going back soon.
