This boutique cottage-based resort is a gem. We found the owners/operators (Steve & Sue) to be gracious and super-friendly as they seek to accommodate their guests and keep everything looking picture-perfect. It's a bit of paradise!

A little bit of paradise

Great place to turn off the iPhone and relax. Bring your snacks, build a charcuterie board or two and pop a cork. Wonderful calm area to kayak or paddle board even if you’re not a pro. Nice bay cove with iguanas! Sue and Steve’s hospitality is exceptional.

This place was absolute paradise. From the moment you enter the gate to the second you leave, it is an absolute dream. It’s a tropical paradise but even better because it’s so small and so intimate. The beach is quiet and never too busy. The cottages are absolutely adorable and meticulously clean. The bay is AMAZING. We had coffee on our porch every morning with the friendly little lizards. We kayaked and saw green iguanas in the mangroves. We fed the snappers off of the dock. Our last day at the resort, we saw 2 large sting rays and a 7ft nurse shark swim into the shallow area and under the dock. We will be back again and again. Absolutely amazing and the owner is the sweetest.

Paradise found!

There’s a reason all the reviews scored so high. You’d be hard pressed to find a more private and inspired place while in Maui! Fabulous doesn’t describe how well the grounds are maintained. The staff was equally excellent looking after your every desire. Directly on the beach with free use of all their equipment. I can’t say enough good things. You’ll regret staying anywhere else!

Lovely oasis just outside key largo. It’s a strip of land where there’s 10 individual bungalows and ours was beautifully furnished. The grounds are well lit & the strip leads down to private access to a beach / marina which provides paddle boards / canoes & pedaloes. There’s hardly any access to beach / marina in key largo or around & all properties section off their own portion of the water. Bed very comfy & very relaxing. Hosts very friendly too. Thoroughly recommended.

The property was beautiful with lots of lush tropical plants. The downside was that the interior of our unit was palpably moist. The efficiency aspect of the unit enabled us to eat breakfast each morning before heading out. The “beach” on the property was well maintained and provided gorgeous views of the water. Use care with the paddleboat - the rudder was not working correctly and we had to go in circles to get it back on land.

this is probably the best maintained beautiful little resort cabana style inn. the property is well situated with a several different areas to hang out and swim or sun. parking is limited to guest so having friends over that are not booked in is not going to work well nor does the management really like it. but very lovely and a great place to hang out.
