First, the good.The location was outstanding if you want to get away from the crowds.The cabin is located on a beach on a private island.The beach is on a shallow bay with a nice view of the ocean.It is not swimmable due to muddy bottom and seaweed. Communication from the host was good. The kayaks were serviceable.The cabin itself is another story. If you have read the other reviews you have seen the issues. The deck and stairs have peeling paint and both have loose boards,bad enough to be a hazard. The shower in the hallway bathroom did not work. None of the doors opened and closed properly. The door from the king bedroom to the front balcony would not open at all. Hot water ran out during my wife’s shower most nights. There is no dresser or any drawers in the bedrooms. Vanity space in both bathrooms is very limited.The place was filthy. The pool was green when we arrived on a Sunday. We texted the host who told us it would be addressed the next day. It was still green when we left on Friday. Apparently there is no chlorine in the water. This was a promised amenity that was unavailable to us.The sheets on the king bed were dirty.The host had clean sheets sent the next day.There is mildew on the shower curtains.The bedroom ceiling fan had so much dust on it we were afraid to use it because it would spread the dust. When I brought the issues to the host’s attention he replied that they were aware of the problems and were trying to improve them.

This is the best possible location.Very quiet; very beachy with no real distractions. Three homes are on this little sand bar immediately off of the Overseas Hwy. The home itself is not terribly impressive, but that was not why we were there. One of the showers would not work for us, but we were assured that we just had not pulled it hard enough in the wrong direction to get it to work. There are no real flush fittings in the house, but it has the comfortable feel of an old Florida beach house that will be in a constant state of wear-and-tear. Except that the pull-out futon was not comfortable at all. If I was going to stay longer, we would have probably invested in an air mattress.

This property was really run down. The deck was rotted. Definitely needed flip flops on it. The dishwasher didn’t clean so we washed by hand. The grill is an old fashioned brickett one. We had cockroaches and a rat in the house. Kayaks were older. One had no plugs and oars were broken. On request he had two others brought in. On the upside, it was freshly painted inside and bedrooms were comfortable. Nice hot showers. And location was great. Ocean front Host was great and checkin and out was painless.

There are 3 cottages on this property. We stayed in the middle one. The only good thing about this property is the beach/waterfront. Otherwise it reminded me of living in a college apartment. Thick dust on all of the ceiling fans/light fixtures. Stains on towels and bedspread. Couch sags/very uncomfortable. And the pull-out mattress was horrible. Even when placed on the floor. Bathroom ceiling fan rattles. Other bathroom has plywood for flooring. We are all sore from a week spent in uncomfortable beds with no comfortable chairs either. We spent as little time as possible inside the cottage. That said, we enjoyed the kayaks around the mangroves and time at the little beach. We didn’t have a boat but the boat slip looked to be in good condition with a nice deck as well as a covered pavilion nearby. We chose to stay here to save some $ by cooking our own meals. Kitchen was barely functional-again, like a college apartment in regards to pots/pans/knives/utensils/dishes. The dishwasher works but tries to tip forward. I would not stay here again despite the location.

A beautiful, little beach with only three cottages made for a perfect family getaway. We felt like we had our own little island in the old Florida Keys. Authentic, beachy, unpretentious. Just what we wanted and needed.

While the house is in need of a few cosmetic updates, it was clean and comfortable. The kayaks are all in need of repair, but we didn't use them much anyway. The island itself...totally worth it. Little Conch island is beautiful, quiet and very biologically diverse. We were lucky enough to have the island to ourselves for a few days and it was Paradise. If you're a lover of nature and peaceful quiet, this is the place.

The location was great as were the water amenities. The view and the location were great. The house left a little to be desired. We had roaches and ants on different occasions. And the maintenance needs upgrades, the hall bathroom floor sags and the deck boards are a trip hazard.

We stayed there 6 nights and had the whole property to ourselfs for the first 2 nights. Great location as it was only about a 5 minute drive into Marathon, 20 minute drive to Islamorada, and a little under an hour to Key West. Nice pool, nice little private beach area, and boat ramp/dock. The house was older and needs a little tlc but all in all it was clean and everything worked as it should and had everything we needed except toilet paper. We had a great time staying there and would definately stay there again.
