About this property

Quaint Glamping Cottage on Private Island, Sandy Beach with Freshwater Pool!

Glamping on a small private island with panoramic views of the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean and your own sandy beach (a rarity in the Keys) is a special experience for fishermen, bird watchers, and nature lovers.

Glamping means different things to different people – from a nice tent in the woods with a shared bathroom to a an canvas palace in Africa. Our Floridian definition is a whitewashed cabin perched on a high platform with some pink, blue or green accents, an outdoor shower, and a couple of simple private indoor bathrooms and a basic kitchen. Being Florida, we of course need air conditioning. But what sets us apart is the location in the uncrowded middle Keys, the nature, and yes… that turquoise water in every direction.

Our island is a unique paradise, surrounded by swimmable ocean, fishing spots, and a nature walk along our peninsula that juts out further into the ocean and leads to a dolphin pool (former home to Flipper!) Our island is separated from the Overseas Highway by a private causeway, offering an exclusive experience. We have kayaks and paddle boards for you to explore the calm reef-protected waters surrounding the island. You will also have a fresh-water swimming pool, a boat basin, and a boat launch.

Our Little Conch Island is not just a secluded paradise, but also conveniently located. It's a short distance from the Marathon Airport, the Dolphin Research Center, a water skiing facility, and the numerous restaurants, grocery stores, and gift shops between Marathon and Islamorada. A bike path is just over our causeway, the 7-mile Bridge is 20 minutes away, and Key West is just over an hour away.

The Florida Keys is a magical place with some of the best fishing, boating, and reef diving anywhere in the world. The glamping cabins of Little Conch Key are the perfect place from which to explore – being near everything you would want, yet a world away.

Our property is a beautiful destination and professionally managed by Casa Luxora. This ensures that your stay will be smooth and enjoyable, allowing you to focus on the beauty and tranquility of our island, and the surrounding waters and nature.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The location is awesome, beach is nice, pool was clean but surrounding furniture was in poor shape, kayaks and wake board were okay but in need of repair, lagoon and boat ramp were good, shared pavilion was nice but littered with trash, cottage was okay but master bath toilet was broke, property manager said he'd come fix it but never showed up, washer didn't work, dryer worked but not well. Overall this property's location is incredible, but the facilities are poorly maintained, trash pickup was supposed to be daily but never happened

Perfect location without a hundred other people. With a little attention to maintenance, cleaning and amenities, this could be the best place in the Keys to stay. We did however, still thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Deceiving

We arrived to this property & we’re not there even an hour before we decided to stay somewhere else. The deck was falling apart & wood rotted. Windows had mold growing on them. Couch was stained like someone used the bathroom on it. Linens were stained brown as well. Pictures are very misleading. Only positive thing I have to say is we were refunded most of our money back.

Wonderful little spot

A gorgeous location and great beach house. Well appointed and clean. Much nicer than "glamping". We enjoyed the private beach, the serenity of the property and the dark skies at night. Our hosts were wonderful and friendly while giving us our space. We'd love to return.

Nice cottage, lots of privacy.

Great communication before and during the stay to make all our expectations were met. Very clean and had the genuine "Keys feel". Would recommend to people that like a private place. Great location between Marathon and Islamirada. Also, only an hour drive to Key West.

Marathon glam

Pictures were deceiving. Furniture in the living room was very dirty and worn and should be replaced. Not a comfortable seat in the place. Bedrooms were nice. Kitchen was okay but lacked cooking utensils. The deck around the house was dangerous. Lack of outdoor furniture was sad. The pool area was nice, location is beautiful. Area was great.

No stars would have been closer to the truth.

The house is in disrepair.The deck is in really bag shape, to the point you can fall though. Electrical outlets not installed properly in the walls in the kitchen and living room. Back mold in the vents, very dirty over all also. Owner did reverse charges for the week except for the one night we stayed.If the house (houses three on site) were cleaned and repaired,this site would be a great place to stay with a private beach and the views.

Great location

This place is located on a small private beach and we truly enjoyed it! We were lucky enough to have 5 days on this secluded island and just loved it. The property is lovely with a nice pool,beach, and small docking area. The house itself needs some work but who cares!! I didn't come here to sit in the house...I would highly recommend it if you want to relax in paradise!!

Beautiful location, run down house

The location is extremely beautiful and very convenient to Marathon and Islamorada. There is a small private beach just outside the front of the house. It does need to be said, this house is incredibly run down. I do not think if I had known this house was in such bad shape that I would have looked at booking somewhere else. This was an expensive place to book, and I had to put up a substantial damage deposit. When we got there the air conditioning was not working although the property manager had a company come out immediately. Overall, its not a bad place to book but the house is in rough shape.

Keys Getaway with a wedding included

Perfect spot. The landlord allowed us to prepare a beautiful wedding for 40 guests under the palms at sunset. The location was perfect and the amenities were plentiful - kayaks, boat dock, pool and the beautiful ocean. Highly recommend it.

Thanksgiving Getaway

This home was just what we were looking for. A simple home right on the beach. We spent our days between hanging out on the private beach and exploring the different islands. We enjoyed using the kayaks several times and our son enjoyed the pool. My husband just wished he had his fishing gear. The home is a little older, but it was clean and had everything we needed. The beach is perfect for wading, hermit crab hunting, and watching the ocean.

Peace and Serenity

The property is isolated and serene. We used to come when it was Conch Key Cottages and thought it had been destroyed. The property has 5 houses and was the most quiet and serene experience ever! Private beach with clear water and more than adequate pool. We were the only ones at the pool. It’s classic old school, spartan Keys living with character. It’s not modernized, but we weren’t looking for that. Don’t expect the Four Seasons, but if you want peace and quiet, this is it!

Great stay with friends

I was looking for a cool place with a dock to share time with my best friend of 25 years in the Marine Corps. and our wives. What I liked most of this place was how secluded we were but at the same time so close if we want to go grocery shopping or needed anything. The place is just like the pictures. The owner was in contact if we needed anything and very pleasant to speak with. We BBQ and kayaked and took the boat out. Left it at the dock over night and had a great view from our place. I am in hopes to come back soon.
