Lovely location, gorgeous outlook & we loved the houseboat, everything you needed and all seemed very clean & new. Made use of the free bikes to go to Sombrero Beach for a well needed swim but nice to come back for a chilled evening on the houseboat.
Jo wasn’t there when we arrived but keys left in arrivals box which was great a we were early. She was very friendly & helpful when we met her the next day.

The lodge was lovely, right on the water - we had a fun and relaxing stay. It had everything you might need for your stay, including toiletries and a hairdryer.

What a fantastic time we had at The Islands of Islamorada. The resort is maintained to the highest standards while having a laid back, traditional Keys vibe. Staff stay in background but are always there to help and assist if needed. Can't recommend highly enough - although in truth I'd rather not too many people get to know about the Islands, just in case it gets too busy to book!

This is the most amazing place. We had a wonderful short stay here. It's peaceful and very relaxing. I loved the pool!! We would certainly visit again.

We had a lovely stay at Lime Tree Bay! We even decided to book on an extra night as we loved it there, they have free use of paddle boards and kayaks and the location mid way down the keys is perfect.

We spent 3 fab nights at Cheeca Lodge and we had a great time. Only problem with such a lovely resort is that you don’t want to go and explore the islands (although we did) and to do so means not using the ample facilities enough.
The beach and pier area was beautiful and peaceful, the gym was just about right and the room was ideally sized.
We heard one lady moaning about their TV not working so we checked and ours wasn’t either - so if you want to stay in your room and watch tv…!!

Nice, cool lodge, but the beautiful location on Florida Bay is the real prize here. Why go out when youve got this view on your doorstep? Best seats in the house!!

We stayed in Orchid Cottage which is set in its own garden and beach area. The cottage was incredibly clean with the best equipped kitchen we have come across. It was extremely private and peaceful with lovely views across the ocean. We could even fish off our own dock in the evenings.
The staff at the resort were all very friendly and helpful with special thanks to Jacob (Assistant Manager) and Chris who worked behind the bar and took us out on his boat for half a day's fishing (highly...

We’ve stayed before so knew what to expect. It’s a little gem. Hidden, but worth finding. The check in process was a bit stressful- they email you a few hours before check in with details. However, the email had gone into the junk mail folder so caused some confusion.
The place was very, very clean. The views of the sea were breathtaking. We were made to feel very welcome… hence the return visit! I would recommend this place!
