Key Largo Cottages

Beautiful facility, Jen and Wess were knowledgeable about the area and always available. The water was clear, saw manatees right off the dock! Kayaks were in great condition, multiple things to use in the water including snorkeling equipment!

The decor is "college dorm room". The entrance is sketchy-looking. The staff is amazing and the setting is true paradise. Cottages were immaculately clean and comfortable with kitchenettes. Rent a private cottage and it comes with the use of a 22-foot sailboat, all the water toys (kayaks, snorkeling gear, bikes, etc.) and it's all yours for the entire stay. The cost per night is very reasonable and although there's no room service, there are several excellent restaurants within walking distance and a liquor store and grocery store nearby as well. We truly enjoyed our week here

The views and access to the water at this facility are lovely but don't make up for the condition of the property and the room we stayed in. We were very disappointed and don't believe there was value for our dollar here. Here are some of the reasons why: The entry to the club looks like a dump - a jumble of vehicles that appear to be abandoned, broken signs, neglected boats, roadside trash, a narrow, dark dirt road that's hard to find among all the debris... hardly welcoming. All of the "cottages" are in some state of disrepair, with clutter, dirt and disarray throughout the property. When you include several RVs parked against the fence, and the out-of-service boat hulls stacked behind the parking area, and the appearance is unprofessional and unwelcoming. The deck in front of the Owner's Cottage contains mismatched boards and an ugly stained 'sun shade' stretched over the patio table. The fascia board on the front of the house is CLEARLY ROTTING and in need of paint. Many of the fence boards adjacent to the front deck are also in need of replacement. The entry lock on the Owner's Cottage (our first impression) provides no security. Anyone with a screwdriver could easily defeat it. And there's mildew on the frame of the sliding glass door that forms the entry. We could hear the guests next door through the double doors that separate the 'living room' (where the TV is located) from the adjacent unit. There's a jumble of unexplained wiring surrounding the TV, and the selection of channels available is very limited. The couches in the living room look like they came out of someone's basement playroom in the 1970s. They are uncomfortable, unsanitary and unpleasant to look at. The roof in the Owner's Cottage leaked. We had to put pots from the kitchen on the floor to catch the brown water filtering through the ceiling. The Owner's Cottage is advertised as having a "cool kitchen" that "is well equipped." "If you want to cook, this is your choice," according to the website. I disagree. The pots and pans that are in the kitchen are filthy, the nonstick coating in several pots flakes off into your food while cooking, and there aren't enough matching dishes, glasses or cutlery to set a table. What we did find was a continuous stream of some sort of powdery debris falling onto the counter, which I assumed was created by bugs eating their way through some of the woodwork in the kitchen and dropping it. I never did find where they were eating, though, after cleaning it up morning and night on each day of our stay. In the second bedroom, there's some sort of string net hanging over the ladder up to the queen loft. It's not apparent what function it is intended to serve, but it does get in the way when an adult tries to climb up or down. The bathroom is awful. The sink (which is not adequately attached to the wall) drains too slowly to keep up with the flow of the water from the faucet. The caulking around the sink, and the grout around the cerami
