“The property evokes the spirit of the Keys with its updated, clean rooms. I noticed the grounds are well-maintained, featuring a pool and a pier perfect for sunset viewing. While not a resort in the traditional sense, the overall atmosphere seems inviting, especially with kayaks and a paddleboat available for guests.”
