Key Largo Cottage

This was our 2nd time renting this beach property :-) The views of the water are amazing and loved having a private pool.

The only downside was that a new home is being built (left and beachfront) and the construction noise was loud; even in the beach with the crashing waves. Had to leave and find another public beach access by car. Some of the water views will be blocked but, thankfully, the beach access will save a lot of the wonderful views :-)

Window units work great and we didn’t need to use the HVAC at all.

Bring a “grill topper” since the grates are very rusty.

We cannot wait to visit again... hopefully the construction on the new house will be complete :-)

The house was immaculately clean. The decorations were bright and cheerful. If you have children you may want to note that the decking around the pool is uneven and the lofted bedroom with twin beds is scary for kids to use as they would have to descend the steep stairs/ladder. The upper bedroom would probably be suited to ages 13+. These were not major issues for us - we all stayed on the main floor with two bedrooms. The location is lovely - just far enough away from the business area to feel peaceful but close enough to walk or bike. There is a short beach path and a wagon is provided - the beach is absolutely beautiful. Overall we were very happy with our stay and had everything we needed.

This was our second time staying in this house, the week was amazing. The house was clean and we had no issues. The beach wagon was an added bonus this time. I lovecthis house and pool. The proximity to the beach is also great since I am a morning and evening beach walker. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

This house is the perfect size for our small family of 3 adults. While it could do with some updating, everything was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. The pool is THE BEST thing about the house! We spent alot of time in it and loved the size and how deep it was.

Loved our stay at Key Largo

PROS: window units keep it very cool (did NOT have to use central air ), windows boarded up kept it cooler and we still had plenty of natural sunlight the pool is absolutely AMAZING , the views were AMAZING from all decks (didn’t go up the attic stairs to top deck since we are NOT very comfortable with those stairs ... being older and retired folks ... gravity is not our friend but if we had been stuck up there for a while, the outside shower would have been a plus ) place was very clean, cute folded towels on each bed, kitchen had plenty of cooking pots/pans, plates, utensils. There is a Keurig and regular coffee maker as well ☕️ a very nice beach cart is in laundry room as well.

CONS: grill near the pool is falling apart... very dangerous and only used it once (couldn’t clean it out or fear of it falling apart). The other heavy-duty grill is VERY rusted & tried to use aluminum foil (unsuccessfully ☹️). Didn’t notice anything to clean the grills out; Shower rod in queen room kept falling down.

I notified management on our 3rd morning and they reported it (couldn’t grill out the remainder of our trip though ). We prefer save money and not eat out at all ... especially with such a fantastic view ️

The folks complaining about it being “older” are welcome to rent “updated” places... folks on a beer budget with champagne tastes are always complaining

My family and I enjoyed this cottage, especially the decks and view. The pool was nice, but it was a nippy weekend for swimming. A short walk to beach along a trail. Great fishcleaning table. Though an older cottage, it was quite comfy.

I could not have asked for a better week for myself and my two boys. The house is older but clean and is the perfect size for us. I love the palm trees in the yard, so many of the newer homes on the island have no charm or feel of old Florida to them. Pool is the best of any rental I have stayed in before. It would be nice to have steps from the pool area to the second floor deck just for convenience. Short easy walk to the beach. Would definitely rent again if available.

Spacious home with multiple decks. Best pool, at least 10ft deep. Not your average small pool usually found on the island. Main bedrooms were very comfortable. Loft twin beds upstairs, older and mattress held on frame by boards underneath. Teenager fell thru the bed once but was careful the rest of the time and no more issues. Maybe securing the boards to frame would help. Very short walk to the beach. I would suggest bringing extra toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels. We came after an electrical storm so I nly one of the 2 tvs worked. Also batteries were missing from the some of the remotes. We bought more, no biggie. Called Suncoast about the and she was here within 10 mins carrying a DVD player. We were very appreciative and amazed how fast she responded. Great vacation and would book this home again.

We had a great time at the unit on St. George. The unit is not a high end luxury place, but the location was great. We spent most of our time outside and in the pool. Don’t expect tv stations and WiFi to mYou get what you pay for, and our weekend was a relaxing experience.

I loved my stay there and will be booking again in the future. I really only have 3 minor issues, and I mean these are just minor issues. 1- would loved to have been able to access the crows nest on top of the house for watching the sunrise and sunsets but it is an older house and does need a few things fixed. 2- The privacy fence around the pool in the pictures is not there and it would be better with the full fence back up. 3- There were only a handful of channels for the TV, which wouldnt have been an issue other than the couple of days it rained and I hung around the house mostly. I will say the pool is awesome and I love how deep it is and you actually have room to move around unlike a lot of the other pools on the island.

The house needs to be updated and general maintenance. The 2 twin bed mattresses are awful. The pool was nice & large. The walk to the beach isn't far & there is a path the whole way.

Let's start with the negatives:
*The house is is in need of some fixing up for sure.
*There was a PVC pipe in the sliding glass door to keep it shut.
*The king mattress coils broke. I reported it on Thursday but they didn't bring a new mattress.
*The privacy fence was damaged in 2 places, that could have been from Fred, not sure. I told realty company we weren't worried about that being fixed while there.
*The pergola cover was torn up, again could have been from Fred. We told the rental company we weren't worried about that being fixed while there.
*Some of the boards under the porch were rotting.
*It has attic type stairs to go to the top floor, those really need to be good solid steps.
*The twin mattresses upstairs could be replaced.
*The outdoor shower didn't have a door and faced the road.

Positives:
*Super affordable.
*Great location.
*The pool, I LOVED THIS POOL! It was by far, the best one on the island we have rented in 12 years. It was at least 10 feet deep. It was nice and wide, it had that shallow sitting area, that would be good for small kids. Most pools on the island are not that deep and usually only feel like bath water mid-day. This was always nice and refreshing. It was also an all concrete pool.
*The area around the pool was fab too. If they fix the pergola cover then that will be a nice shady area to place coolers, sit or put the playpens for the babies.
*Nice sized yard/lot.
*The layout of the house was good.
*The under house area was good. It had a shady, deck type area with seating. Good for coolers to stay in the shade and good for sitting when it rained.

Would I stay here again? Yes but at least I know what to expect, nothing fancy. We spend most of our time outside anyway so this house was perfect for doing that. Plus, the price was to good to pass up.

Nice open layout with good views and a bigger pool than most on the island. The kids liked the two beds in the little room up top. The house also feels bigger than it appears in the pictures. The whole family wants to stay here again.

Our family has been coming back to this rental for 2 years now and have a wonderful experience every time. The staff are always welcoming and prompt to address anything that comes up while we are there. Key Largo has everything we need for our stay. The only thing I hope to see updated next year when we return are the twin mattresses upstairs, they were very worn out to where one of my sons just slept on the couch the entire time and we doubled up the mattresses for my other son to give him extra support. Overall my family enjoyed staying here and will continue to do so year after year.
