Believe Everything It Says!

tiger1 St. Louis, MO
Review Submitted: June 28, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Unbelievable! Better than represented in the ad. Quiet, peaceful yet interesting with rays, parrotfish, glow-in-the-dark tiny jellyfish, lobsters, and even a small shark moving in and out with the tides. Had everything we needed, very clean, very modern. Tiki hut, BBQ grill, kayaks located right outside the door also. Only minus-may be too secluded for some. About 25 minutes from a grocery store, 60-90 minutes from Key West. Plus- the marina down the street rents pontoons and waverunners for the best prices anywhere. Only resturant on the key is closed but due to open again soon. This really is backed by park property, is shown accurately in the photos, so don't expect any beach right there, just quiet entertainment watching the fish go by. It has my highest praise!
