CABANA 1 — WATERFRONT KEY LARGO VACATION RENTAL WITH DIRECT OCEAN ACCESS
Welcome to Cabana 1 at Waterfront Cabanas, a charming canal-front retreat in Key Largo where the water is just steps from your door. Designed for travelers who want to experience the relaxed lifestyle of the Florida Keys, this bright and comfortable waterfront studio combines an unbeatable location with everything you need for an easy, memorable getaway.
Wake up in the morning, step outside, and look directly toward the canal. Enjoy your coffee by the water while boats pass through the neighborhood, watch tropical fish along the seawall, and keep an eye out for some of our favorite Florida Keys visitors — manatees, nurse sharks, birds, and other marine life that often make an appearance.
At the end of the day, come home from snorkeling, diving, fishing, boating, or exploring Key Largo and relax beside the canal as the sky changes color and the Keys settle into their peaceful evening rhythm.
This is the kind of place where you can truly slow down.
YOUR WATERFRONT HOME IN KEY LARGO
Cabana 1 comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests and offers a thoughtfully arranged studio-style space with a queen bed plus two twin beds that also function as sofas during the day.
The cabana includes a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, giving you the flexibility to prepare breakfast before heading out on the water, pack lunch for a day of adventure, or enjoy a relaxed dinner at home.
You’ll also have a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, fast Wi-Fi, Smart TV, and powerful air conditioning to keep the cabana cool and comfortable after a sunny Florida Keys day.
Best of all, the canal and waterfront are right outside.

WAKE UP ON THE WATER
What makes Cabana 1 special isn’t simply that it’s in Key Largo — it’s how close you are to the water.
Open the door and the canal becomes part of your stay. Instead of waking up in a traditional hotel surrounded by hallways and parking lots, you wake up to boats, tropical air, birds, and the movement of the water.
Bring your coffee outside in the morning and enjoy the peaceful canal before starting your day. In the afternoon, return from your adventures and settle into an Adirondack chair by the waterfront. In the evening, enjoy a drink outside and watch the light soften across the canal.
It’s simple, relaxed, and unmistakably Key Largo.
A GREAT HOME BASE FOR BOATING & FISHING
Key Largo is made for people who love the water, and Cabana 1 puts you in an ideal location to enjoy it.
Our canal offers direct water access toward both the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay, making Waterfront Cabanas especially appealing for guests coming to the Florida Keys for boating, fishing, diving, or snorkeling.
If you’re traveling with a boat, dock space may be available by advance reservation for an additional fee and is subject to availability. Please contact us before arrival to confirm availability and arrangements. Dockage is not automatically included with the cabana reservation.
From here, spend your days exploring the beautiful waters surrounding Key Largo, including areas around Rodriguez Key, Mosquito Bank, local reefs, fishing grounds, and shipwrecks.
Whether you’re heading offshore early in the morning or simply enjoying the canal from shore, Cabana 1 keeps you close to the reason so many people come to the Florida Keys: the water.
SNORKELING & DIVING IN KEY LARGO
Known for its spectacular underwater environment, Key Largo is one of Florida’s most popular destinations for scuba diving and snorkeling.
Cabana 1 is just minutes from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, where visitors come from around the world to experience coral reefs, tropical marine life, snorkeling excursions, glass-bottom boat tours, kayaking, and diving.
Local dive and snorkel operators offer trips to nearby reefs and wrecks, making it easy to spend a morning underwater and return to your waterfront cabana to relax afterward.
Experienced diver or first-time snorkeler, you’ll have some of the Florida Keys’ most memorable water adventures close by.
EXPLORE THE BEST OF KEY LARGO
When you’re ready to leave the water for a while, you’ll be conveniently located near many of Key Largo’s best-known restaurants, attractions, and experiences.
Enjoy fresh local seafood, waterfront dining, tropical drinks, and laid-back Keys atmosphere at favorites including The Fish House, Sundowners, Key Largo Fisheries, Snook’s Bayside, Hobo’s Cafe, and Skipper’s Dockside.
Take a cruise aboard the historic African Queen, enjoy a dolphin encounter, rent a kayak, book a fishing charter, take a snorkeling or scuba excursion, or simply explore the small restaurants and local businesses that give Key Largo its personality.
You can fill every day with activities — or do almost nothing at all.
Both work perfectly here.
A FULL KITCHEN FOR AN EASY FLORIDA KEYS STAY
Having your own full kitchen makes Cabana 1 especially comfortable for longer stays and for guests who don’t want to eat every meal at a restaurant.
Pick up fresh seafood locally, prepare breakfast before an early fishing trip, make sandwiches for the boat, or enjoy dinner in your cabana after a full day exploring the Keys.
The stainless steel appliances and practical kitchen setup give you the convenience of home while you’re on vacation.
And when you don’t feel like cooking, some of Key Largo’s favorite restaurants are nearby.
WILDLIFE RIGHT OUTSIDE
One of our favorite things about Waterfront Cabanas is that you never know what might swim past.
The canal is alive with Florida Keys marine life. Guests may spot tropical fish, nurse sharks, manatees, birds, and other wildlife from around the seawall.
Sometimes the best entertainment doesn’t require reservations or tickets — just a chair by the water and a little patience.
These unexpected encounters are part of what makes staying directly on a Key Largo canal so different from staying in an ordinary hotel.
PERFECT FOR COUPLES, FRIENDS & SMALL FAMILIES
Cabana 1 is a wonderful choice for couples looking for a romantic Key Largo getaway, friends planning a fishing or diving trip, or small families wanting an easy waterfront base for exploring the Florida Keys.
With sleeping accommodations for up to four, a full kitchen, private bathroom, Wi-Fi, Smart TV, air conditioning, onsite parking, and the waterfront immediately outside, you have the essentials for a comfortable stay without losing the intimate feel of a small Keys retreat.
Traveling with more people?
Additional cabanas are available on the property, making Waterfront Cabanas a convenient option for extended families, couples traveling together, fishing groups, diving groups, and friends who want to vacation together while still having their own private accommodations.
EXPERIENCE THE FLORIDA KEYS AT A SLOWER PACE
There are plenty of places to sleep in Key Largo.
Cabana 1 is about something different.
It’s about waking up and seeing water outside your door.
It’s about drinking your first cup of coffee beside the canal.
It’s about coming back salty and tired after a day on the reef and knowing your waterfront retreat is waiting for you.
It’s about watching boats glide past, spotting a manatee when you least expect it, sitting outside as evening arrives, and remembering why you came to the Florida Keys in the first place.
You can spend your vacation snorkeling coral reefs, scuba diving, fishing offshore, kayaking through the Keys, exploring John Pennekamp State Park, dining on fresh seafood, or cruising the surrounding waters.
Or you can simply sit beside the canal and do absolutely nothing.
Sometimes that’s the best part.

What makes this property unique
Cabanas Key Largo is the first island in Florida Keys. Here are some reviews from previous guests.
"Great location in Key Largo. Wonderful home and was great with a kid. Really enjoyed the back patio and watching boats go by. Home was spotless and wonderful!"
"Spotless, quiet, peaceful outdoor seating by the water. Great to be able to walk to lovely places to eat. Great to be able to walk to shops for basic groceries. Recommended"
"We had to make a vacation pivot last minute and decided to stay in Key Largo. We were so lucky to find this canal front location at a great rate with wonderful managers. The space was perfect for the two of us and all our dive gear. Super close to the best seafood restaurant (backyard Cafe),our dive shop and all other needs. The main bed was too firm for me but the smaller couch/beds were good. Not a ton of boat traffic so it's not noisy unless a neighbor throws a party. We're so grateful for a wonderful experience!"
