About this property

Waterfront Cottage - Beach and Dockage! Open Water Views!

In a world of chain hotels and paved over paradise, experience the Florida Keys the way they used to be! Sitting on a private, family-owned, gated property, right on the Gulf of Mexico, this adorable cottage offers you and your guests the chance to relax in hammocks beneath swaying palms, cook out under the tiki hut, fish from the long pier while the sun sets on the horizon, exploding in color. Most of our guests can't believe they can still enjoy this hidden gem, owned and managed by the same Keys family for decades.

"Banana Cabana" has an amazing water view and is only about 120' from the sandy beach! Two equal sized bedrooms, each with queen beds, plus a pull-out sofa in the living room, make this an affordable option for up to six guests. There's a nicely outfitted kitchen and 1 bath with shower. A small deck is great for enjoying a cocktail or two while watching the unforgettable sunsets each night.

Located at MM 99.2, right in the heart of Key Largo, our property is close to great restaurants, shopping, fishing, diving, and all of Key Largo’s main attractions, like John Pennekamp Park and swim with dolphin programs. The gated, lushly landscaped grounds make up almost 3 acres and include 4 other rental houses, plus a small marina, which allows for a boat to be docked here at no additional charge. A fishing pier, sandy beach, tiki huts, hammocks, and picnic tables add to the laid-back, "keysey" charm. We also provide kayaks and paddle boards free for guest use!

As an added bonus, there is staff on site to make sure your vacation is everything you dreamed about. You won’t find anything like this for the price! It’s truly a one of a kind vacation experience in paradise. WIFI and dockage are included.

***Please note: Due to the popularity of our property for weddings, we only book vacation rental stays within 6 months.***

Family vacation
The resort is secluded and beautiful. We brought our family pets and found it a definite positive that we didnt have to leave the resort to enjoy beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. When we dis go to beaches or parks everything was close by.

Beautiful View, indoors not so much
Property was breathtaking. Indoors not so much. Staff was great, very friendly, helpful. Rooms were very small, beds were horrible, fridge was tiny, old, and froze food. Ants in bathroom and all over stove and counter in kitchen. Dressers were out of date and no hangers in what we thought was a closet? Definitely not worth anything close to what we paid for the stay. Nice property but would not recommend
