We enjoyed our stay here. It was near the Everglades and Cyprus reserve, water activities, good sea-food restaurants. and it was easy to walk through town from. We found the accommodations cheerful and nice. The place had everything we needed. We also enjoyed sitting on the front porch.

Was good for what we needed. Had my son with on this trip was nice to have the extra bed. Kitchen was nice/small and bathroom was good. Porch was nice but did not know it was a shared cottage so you will see and hear kids and other people attached. Please check batteries in deadbolt and remotes had issues with locking door and using large tv. We did have extra batteries with us. Never used the washer and dryer but was nice to have. Across from Camillas cafe which is one of the best spots on island for food.

Lovely apartment, I stayed with my friend and child and we could not have been happier! The main bedroom is VERY spacious and comfortable, and the second one is a cute little bed nook with its own TV and a curtain for privacy, my son was obsessed with it. We deeply appreciated a separate AC in the main bedroom so we could sleep with the door closed. Also loved that there was a full size fridge, in unit washer and dryer, and stove, it felt like a true chance to relax and reset after several nights in traditional hotels. Plan to stay again if we come back!!

We just loved the location because it really is close to everything, which made us think that it would be a great rental property. The grocery store, post office, restaurants, gas station, museums, kayak rental companies, and historic buildings are all within walking distance. We just remodeled it too and we just love how it looks now! We think you will too!
