“For families seeking a relaxed base to explore the Keys, this waterfront resort provides good value. While the property is somewhat dated and swimming isn't ideal due to seaweed, the clean, heated pool and fishing dock stand out, especially for those traveling with children. The service is accommodating, making it a worthwhile option for a simple, peaceful vacation.”
