We traveled as a family of 4, house was cozy but we didn't spend a lot of time there.Pros:- Washer & dryer w/ laundry detergent- Pool towels- WiFi & streaming appsCons:- Basic condiments like salt & pepper would have been nice to have- No tupperware- No extra blankets for the beds or couch if someone was cold- Pool area unfortunately became a loud party center come the weekendIt was nice but probably wouldn't come back again.
We stayed here with our son. Its not huge but a very nice updated home that makes great use of the space available. The pool area is very nice. The neighborhood is great for walks and there is a great walking path next to the highway that you can go a long ways on. We highly recommend a stay here!
We had the best family vacation! The location is central to great entertainment and restaurants but also secluded enough to be a quiet retreat at night. Loved the pool and the cleanliness of the property! We can’t wait to come back.

Thank you for your excellent rating. It is a pleasure to have accommodated your stay and we hope that we will have the chance to welcome you back again during your next visit to the spectacular FL Keys!
Upon arriving, we walked into the house and were pleasantly surprised. Very Clean, Well Equipped, and honestly I’d say one of the perfect little houses we’ve stayed in. The location is perfect. We loved that it included the pool. We would definitely stay again.

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the house, its cleanliness, and amenities like the pool. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next stay.
This space was perfect for two people looking to explore the Keys. It would work for three people but be tight for 4. It was clean, adequately equipped, and easy to find. Would definitely stay here again.

The living room furniture was extremely uncomfortable. We woke up hurting every morning. The mattress was terrible. The Wi-Fi was in and out. There were no closets in the entire place, including the bedrooms. There were several hooks on the wall to handles on.There were only two hooks in the bathroom. They were the only place to put wash cloths, hand towels and bath towels.
We stayed at Shady Palms for 5 days. It was clean, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The pool was lovely after a day out on a boat. Highly recommend!

Rented this with my two long-time friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays. Good location and access to founders park was a nice bonus. No walkable access to the ocean, not a complaint, just something to understand. Hanging Robbie’s and the brewery right down the street was very nice.
The property was clean and very well maintained. Located very close to islamorada marinas. The pool is a 1 min walk and was really nice. I would rent again .
