Photos and Description of the Big Pine Key vacation rental An eco friendly retreat with snorkeling, kayaking & fishing at your doorstep

The Captains House is the original house on the 67 acre island settled by Captain Percy Cook in 1923. Cooks Island is a rustic idyll that has been sensitively developed - no concrete monstrosities here! Great care has been made to preserve the charm of the Captains House which contains much of the furniture and artefacts from the Captain's travels. The cottages are eco friendly-Solar power and collected rainwater provide for the basic needs. Cooks Island is only accessible by boat-a fifteen minute ride. The caretaker can pick you up on Big Pine Key, or rent a boat. Kayaking, Fishing and Snorkeling are at your doorstep with reef heads just offshore. The beautiful beach of Bahia Honda is a short boat ride away. Ideal for nature lovers- The Key Deer is just one of the animals that inhabit the island. A nature lovers paradise. Cooks Island is close enough to the mainland to be able to spend the day in Key West, but chances are once on the island, you will not want to leave.

Cooks Island a little paradise

Jeanette fom Netherlands Netherlands
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a lovely time in the Captains Cottage on Cooks Island. The seaview is really fantastic! The children had a great time with snorkling (seeing nurse sharkes), being busy with the kayak and of course fishing from the scaffold.
Caretakers Bruce and Ada were very friendly and assisted us with planning several nice trips to go snorkling and fishing and of course visiting Key west.
