About this property

Middle Florida Keys Bayfront with Sailboat or boat slip included

Our Bayfront hideaway cottage is located in the middle Keys on a small island called 'Conch Key', and offers some of the best sailing in the Gulf anywhere in the Keys. Our guests have exclusive use of 23', well maintained, ComPac sailboats, for the duration of their stay. The island is the smallest island in the Keys. It is reminiscent of a quaint Bahamian lobster fishing village, with colorful cottages nestled closely together. Rustic wharves are charmingly cluttered with lobster traps, nets, and fishing gear. There is a well kept secret that lobster and fish are both plentiful. Back country fishing and off shore sport fishing are readily available.
Our ideal location near Marathon, in the middle Keys, will allow you to visit both Key West and Key Largo, each approximately one hour away. Additionally, we offer dock space with water and electricity for our guests wanting to bring their own boat for some of the best fishing in the world. Impeccably clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated.
Since 1988, we have taken pride in the fact that we have the cleanest, most well-maintained accommodations in the Florida Keys!

Our first visit to the Keys, and this place was great! Centrally located in the Keys, with easy access to Route 1, you can be in Key Largo in an hour, or Old Town Key West in about an hour and a half. In between road trips, we took advantage of the available fishing rods, nearby bike and walking trail, and just lounging on the deck after sunset.

Great stay at Conch Key!

We had a fabulous time and really enjoyed the proximity to the water. Our 17 year old son and his friend even caught 2 tarpon from the dock. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets every night, and loved exploring on the sea kayaks. It was a great vacation!

Great Stay

We recently had a week-long stay at this property in Conch Key for the mini lobster season. Berry welcomed us and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the nautical decorations and felt it was very clean. To top it all off, the views from the back porch and dock were beautiful.

We loved this place. We enjoyed the view, the water, the kayaks, the bikes, the neighborhood, the beach close by, the fishing and snorkeling. We also enjoyed the grilled fish on the deck, the dock, the coziness of the house. We would definitely come back. Thank you so much for a great stay.

Step inside and step back in time

We were only here for one night and so wish we would have booked longer. We will definitely be back. Loved everything about the location, the house decorations (there is a lot to look at and if you appreciate older nautical decor you will love it), and the host. Barry was great at communicating and offered lots of suggestions for late night dining (S.S. shipwreck was fabulous- get the key lime pie) and a last excursion before leaving the keys (Dolphin teaearch center). Definitely take the kayaks out bc the view of Conch Key from the water is pretty perfect.
