About this property

Lo key - Island Gypsy Gorgeous cottage apartment on Cocoa Bay

Experience the beauty of green turtles swimming in their natural habitat right from your front door at Cocoa Bay! Island Gypsy is a premier vacation rental, located on the ground floor of the Lo Key Villa. This spacious 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom, two bathroom apartment offers stunning sea views and is just steps away from Cocoa Bay Beach.

Designed to highlight the natural splendor of Cocoa Bay, a pristine 1.5-mile stretch of soft sand, this location is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and family fishing adventures. Multiple porches and sun decks provide breathtaking views of the white sandy beach and sparkling turquoise waters.

Immaculately clean and professionally decorated in an island-inspired style, Island Gypsy is the perfect getaway. You'll find an abundance of activities and attractions just minutes away.

A leisurely five-minute walk takes you to the Atlantic Ocean, where you can swim, snorkel, and fish among the vibrant marine life on the world’s third-longest barrier reef, located just 200 feet offshore. Alternatively, hop on a golf cart to explore the island, visiting two nearby resorts and discovering breathtaking beaches, bays, and coves. Don't miss the opportunity to explore the historic settlement of New Plymouth, dating back to the late 1700s, where you’ll find charming shops, restaurants, bars, galleries, and a museum.

Though Island Gypsy is a new addition to the area, it's already garnering considerable attention.

Ideal for one or two couples seeking a memorable getaway.

The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. We did lose power one day due to a strong storm on the island, and the property doesn’t have a generator, so just something to keep in mind. The location is fantastic, right across the street from Cocoa Bay, where you can spot and feed sea turtles in the mornings. It’s also just a quick 5-minute drive to both the Green Turtle Club and the Bluff House. Overall, a great stay!

Decompress

After several months of dealing with a hurricane in the mountains, we needed a break. We have stayed at this property in the past and have always found it to be perfect for us. Just the right size with all the amenities we could want. The host has always responded to questions and ensured we had all our needs met. We will be back! Plus, the turtles are a short walk away.

Lo Key High Enjoyment!

The Lo Key cottage is in a perfect location, right on Coco Bay. Easy access to the municipal boat dock and turtle and stingrays. Also, 2 minutes from where we got off the ferry and picked up the golf cart. Host was very responsive!

Unbelievable Lovely Place to Stay

James place, the ground floor apartment of Lo Key Cottage was just about perfect for us. Easy communication. Great price. SUPER clean. Plus, that fantastic screened in porch, a huge very comfortable couch, ample linens and towels, and actually comfortable beds. The location is insane. Quiet and basically in the shores of Coco Bay where’s it’s easy to make friends with stingrays and sea turtles. Absolutely gorgeous. If the only things missing are pepper and towel racks, that’s hardly anything. We’d totally stay there again, though we’d hope for upstairs neighbors with a lighter step;)Five out of five stars. Easily. High recommend!!!

Beautiful Spot

This house has most beautiful view. Only problem is no one on island knows the name Island Gypsy. House is known as Low Key. Took an hour to find someone that knew where we where staying. Beautiful place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
It was hard to find the cottage since the roads have no names or addresses. I guess the island is small enough that everyone refers to the house names, which made it confusing for first timers. But once we found the cottage we enjoyed the location on the Coco Cove where they have sting rays, turtles, and nurse sharks who appear tame! It is a beautiful walk to lovely beaches and much easier golf cart ride.

Jasmine

Disliked: Communication
Very comfortable, clean and well stocked home. Outside bathroom needed cleaning or refreshing before check in. Tree limbs obstructed view to sea. Would have liked a standing grill. Only 3 chairs for patio set when we arrived, 4th had to be searched for. Couldn’t turn fans on patio on. Needed candles or repellent for bugs or recommendations for guests to bring with them. While it’s the little things that affect the overall experience I would still recommend this property. Host or caretaker should have emergency number in unit if needed.

Very nice VRBO

Clean and quaint. Great for family, single quasi-private bathroom between bedrooms. We rented only first floor. I believe that listing indicated beach chairs, none were found, but we didn't ask. Owner was very responsive to all of our requests. Screened Porch is very nice, keeps mosquitoes out (but not no-seeums) bring bug spray. Overall wonderful place!
