About this cottage rental

Glamping on a small private island with panoramic views of the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean and your own sandy beach (a rarity in the Keys) is a special experience for fishermen, bird watchers, and nature lovers.

Glamping means different things to different people – from a nice tent in the woods with a shared bathroom to a an canvas palace in Africa. Our Floridian definition is a whitewashed cabin perched on a high platform with some pink, blue or green accents, an outdoor shower, and a couple of simple private indoor bathrooms and a basic kitchen. Being Florida, we of course need air conditioning. But what sets us apart is the location in the uncrowded middle Keys, the nature, and yes… that turquoise water in every direction.

Our island is a unique paradise, surrounded by swimmable ocean, fishing spots, and a nature walk along our peninsula that juts out further into the ocean and leads to a dolphin pool (former home to Flipper!) Our island is separated from the Overseas Highway by a private causeway, offering an exclusive experience. We have kayaks and paddle boards for you to explore the calm reef-protected waters surrounding the island. You will also have a fresh-water swimming pool, a boat basin, and a boat launch.

Our Little Conch Island is not just a secluded paradise, but also conveniently located. It's a short distance from the Marathon Airport, the Dolphin Research Center, a water skiing facility, and the numerous restaurants, grocery stores, and gift shops between Marathon and Islamorada. A bike path is just over our causeway, the 7-mile Bridge is 20 minutes away, and Key West is just over an hour away.

The Florida Keys is a magical place with some of the best fishing, boating, and reef diving anywhere in the world. The glamping cabins of Little Conch Key are the perfect place from which to explore – being near everything you would want, yet a world away.

Our property is a beautiful destination and professionally managed by Casa Luxora. This ensures that your stay will be smooth and enjoyable, allowing you to focus on the beauty and tranquility of our island, and the surrounding waters and nature.

The property is isolated and serene. We used to come when it was Conch Key Cottages and thought it had been destroyed. The property has 5 houses and was the most quiet and serene experience ever! Private beach with clear water and more than adequate pool. We were the only ones at the pool. It’s classic old school, spartan Keys living with character. It’s not modernized, but we weren’t looking for that. Don’t expect the Four Seasons, but if you want peace and quiet, this is it!

I don’t usually leave bad reviews. I drove 5 hours to marathon to stay at this place with my 7 month old baby and my best friend with her 9 year old daughter for a week. I come to Marathon every couple of years and have been coming here since I was a kid. I’ve booked with VRBO several times and never had issues. We arrived on the property and the ac was not working, ac vents had mold around them, kitchen sink and ran scolding hot water, dishes were dirty, everything was moist and smelled like mildew due to no ac. Called the property manager and within 2 hours a maintenance guy came, baby was crying and so was my friends daughter. There was no way we could stay. We left at 8 pm and drove another 5 hours home. I got 1800$ back and lost around 600$? Told it was VRBO fees but still haven’t received a receipt even though I’ve been told I would see proof. Either way, everything about this situation was TERRIBLE!

We are from NC and have friends in Miami and rented this place to get together after a couple of years of not seeing each other. The plan, to do NOTHING except relax at the pool. When we arrived,( and stayed green the entire time) the pool was green with algae. The home was not just not clean, but disgusting. The floors had spillage and full of dirt. The refrigerator was nasty inside and out. The dishes were full of dried food. There were stains on the sheets/blankets. The bathrooms were not clean. I bought tons of cleaning products and cleaned for hours. Had to wash for the two days I was there down to the shower curtains. The "beach" is mud, not sand and stunk so bad. Was full of seagrass so it is not swimmable. The trash had maggots in it from not being picked up. The seats outside were rusted and could not be used. We left the property and got a hotel. So aggravated and upset as this was supposed to be a relaxing vacation. Worst "vacation" ever. HORRIBLE!

Property could’ve been slightly a little cleaner. Stained sheets.fridge didn’t get real cold. Bathroom floors needed cleaning. A lot of duck poop in the pool and all over. But it was alright.

Don't believe the pictures! We spent over $1800 to stay in this house for three nights. As others have said, the location is nice, but the house is a mess. We could have stayed at a nice resort nearby for less money and enjoyed it much more. The hall bathroom smelled like a sewer, and when I messaged the manager I didn't hear from him until the day we left. He said that he would look i into it and provide us with some compensation, but we never heard from him again. The tile in the bathrooms was dirty and buckled so the door wouldn't open all the way. The extra toilet paper under the sink was just three small leftover rolls. There were stains on the pillowcases. The blind in the living room was pulled down so that you couldn't see the torn up screen and hurricane shutters that are taped up with electrical tape and rattled in the wind. Several electrical outlets were missing covers, and several outlets didn't even work. The dishwasher was missing a wheel on the rack so it was constantly falling and it didn't get the dishes clean. The dishes and cutlery in the cupboards weren't clean, and the cupboard doors were sticky. Mugs were stained with coffee or tea. The heating element on the coffee maker was rusted. The beds were very soft and uncomfortable. There was damage to the ceilings that hadn't been fixed. I have NO IDEA what the $250 cleaning fee is used for, because it certainly isn't for cleaning or upkeep! I wish I could share the pictures I took! Book something else!
