Canal front property

We absolutely loved this location on the canal with boats/yachts traveling by mostly in the morning and late evening. It was very relaxing and a quaint place. The only cons were the couches/beds in the living room- they are not in a good position to watch the T.V. at night and they were very uncomfortable (the large pillows to lean up against did not hold their shape). Other than long black hairs on one of the towels, it was mostly a clean unit. I would recommend despite these smallish things.

Dear Margaret, Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us! We're delighted to hear that you absolutely loved the canal location and found it relaxing and quaint. It's wonderful that the boat and yacht traffic added to the charm of your stay, especially during the morning and late evening. We appreciate your honest feedback about the couches/beds in the living room and the issue with the towels. Your insights are valuable, and we will address these concerns to enhance the overall guest experience. Despite these small issues, we're grateful for your recommendation, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to hosting you again. Warm regards, Waterfront Cabanas

nice location

The property was much smaller than I envisioned. I did like sitting out back on the water and watching boats and wildlife. It would have been nice to know there was no laundry facilities. My mistake is that I assumed there would be. Maybe I missed it in the property description that there wasn't any. Staying there for a full week necessitated purchasing more paper products like TP.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our location and found the back seating area to be a relaxing spot to watch the boats and wildlife; that is one of our favorite things about the property as well! We appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the size of the unit, the lack of laundry facilities, and the supply of paper products. We strive to be as clear as possible in our property description, but I apologize if these details weren't clear prior to your stay. Your feedback is very helpful, and we will certainly look into how we can better communicate our amenities. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope you enjoyed your time in Key Largo. Gemma, Waterfront Cabanas

Why they chose this property

Cabanas Key Largo is located in Key Largo, Florida, United States. Mile marker 100. This is a very special part of Key Largo as many national brand stores are located here. We are a 1 minute drive or 5 minute bicycle ride to Pharmacies, Banks, Grocery Stores, Restaurants, Shopping, Gas Stations, Beauty Salons, Ice-cream Shops and anything else you might need. Key Largo is the first of the fabulous Florida Keys and is the self-proclaimed Dive Capital of the World. It is home to the world's largest artificial reef, the 510-foot USS Spiegel Grove, the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the African Queen. Everglades National Park is just a short trip away from Key Largo. Diving, snorkeling and glass-bottom boating in the clear waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary are fantastic experiences. Watersport activities in Key Largo are plentiful, including fishing, kayaking and swimming with the dolphins. Or, just relax with a tropical beverage and watch the beautiful sunsets. If you find this Cabana unavailable on your selected dates, we have 5 more properties in the area that you can choose from; please reach out to us so we can assist you accordingly.

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!"
