Remote and primitive
We enjoyed our stay on the island. Lots of wildlife including a great horned owl, gopher tortoises, dolphins and manatees. The house is primitive, but comfortable. There was no oven or microwave, the water pump has a problem so that it would continually trip off during a shower, The toilet cannot handle toilet paper, so toilet paper has to be put in the waste basket. WiFi was not working, The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the screened porch with the hammock. The golf car a must to get to the beach (3/4 mile). Red tide was a problem while we were there, so we didn’t swim and we didn’t see anyone else in the water.

Cayo Costa Family Vacation
Our family had a wonderful time on Cayo Costa. Stan and Ellie were great and helped answer all of our questions and get us acclimated to the property. We thoroughly enjoyed the beach, shelling, and fishing. Really looking forward to getting back!

Having just come from 3 weeks in Key West, the solitude was absolute bliss. Beaches were virtually deserted, the qu
