Baby Moon

My husband and I visited the keys on our baby moon and were very impressed by our rental. We loved sitting by the canal. It was private and quiet (aside from occasional construction going on next door). Overall we had a great visit!

Convenient, clean and efficient stay

Lovely little studio on the canal. Had a work event in Homestead and hotels weren’t available. This worked out perfectly for me. I wouldn’t recommend this for more than 1-2 people though.

Nice place, but loud

The place is nice just as listed but the noise is terrible. There is construction going on starting at sunrise and it is loud. We really wanted to sleep in but there is work going on right next to the units.

Quiet

Accommodations were clean. Many good local restaurants close by. The room needs some comfortable seating. My husband had no comfortable place to sit. We were also disappointed in the toiletries provided. The soap was no thicker than a quarter. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but will try a different location next time.

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!"
