Above and beyond!!
This is the second stay at this property, the first time was a very nice last minute 1 night stay. This time we planned on staying there again along our route driving out the Keys. My wife booked an off-site location by accident and we didn't realize it until I checked in. We went to the off-site property and went up to the room, Although it was very nice as well, my wife was a little disappointed because we were looking forward to the same experience as last time. After about 30 minutes, I called the front desk and told them what had happened. He looked through his reservations and found a cottage like the first one we had stayed in and loved us, although it was our fault! He had no obligation to do this, but went above and beyond to make us happy. Additionally, with the off-site property having an outdoor flight of stairs, the new cottage made it much easier to navigate, especially since I have a bad back (several surgeries & a pain pump implant) and my wife has bad knees (in need of a knee transplant). For all of these reasons and more, we will be staying again, should our travels take us back there!!! One of our favorite places to stay!!

The Cottage made a wonderful stay for a quick getaway. I shared the main cottage with another family and my only complaint is that because the walls are thin, we were awakened by their incessant argument and the constant slamming of their suite and main doors.

We recently stayed here and were disappointed that the unit we were given didn’t match the pictures shown online. The bathroom setup was unexpected and uncomfortable—it had an outdoor toilet with just a shower curtain serving as the door and a shower without roof coverage. The Wi-Fi signal was very poor, making it impossible to watch TV or stay connected. On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and responsive, but unfortunately, there were no other units available for us to switch to, so we had to make do with what we were given. The highlight of the stay was the nice tiki bar/taco truck in the back, which had a great vibe. Overall, while there were some good aspects, the misleading online photos and lack of proper indoor amenities left us disappointed.

Quite possibly the most comfortable bed in the Florida Keys if you enjoy sleeping on a cloud, the room we stayed in was super cool with the sunken living room. The full service bar had excellent drinks on the tacos rock.

My one night stay at the Tropical Cottages was good. The grounds are cute and they have a bar and food truck. The room I stayed in needed a bit of updating, but was clean. It had a kitchenette and the bathroom was connected and private but was outside. I actually loved the outdoor shower. I stayed in a large cottage that was split into 3 rooms and my only complaint would be the thin walls. I could here the people in the next room and they stayed up late. I would stay again.

Abbiamo soggiornato in questo chalet per 2 notti. Delizioso. Ben arredato e originale. Pulito. Ci siamo trovati benissimo. Proprietari simpatici e cordiali. A poca distanza da Sombrero Beach. Lo consiglio se dovete fare una pausa sulla strada per Key West o andare al Bahia Honda Park che dista solo 20 minuti. C’è anche il bar accanto e un furgoncino che vende tacos.
