Calm and restful. It is pleasantly attending. Quaint and quiet... of the main road. Don't miss Pidgeon Key... just down the road and a short boat-trip away. Plenty of good places to eat and/or shop for food in the vicinity.

We are veteran travelers - and we know what a major chain hotel offers. We knew when we reserved a cottage at Tropical Cottages that we were NOT reserving a room at the Marriott. But we feel compelled to provide a balanced review of our experience there. First - for those who feel Tropical Cottages does not offer good value:... More

This was our first trip to the keys in about 20 years. We were so very pleaed to have stayed at these private little cottages. We stayed in cottage #4, it was clean and neat. The bed was super comfortable and roomy. Liked the fact that our cottage came with a kitchenette that included a refrigerator/freezer, microwave, coffee maker and... More

We booked this room for our anniversary based on the pictures and the reviews. While I thought they would be cute cottages for a good deal we were not very happy with the room. If you book a room make sure that it is not connected to another cottage. The walls are literally one thin piece of plywood. We could... More

We had a wonderful time here. Loved having our own cozy cottage. Everything was as advertised. Our cottage was very clean. There were a couple of housekeeping issues but when I mentioned them to Dave they were immediately taken care of. Jesse at the tikki bar was great. I loved just unwinding listening to him sing. I didn't give a... More

I have never felt so dismayed over any experience as a consumer. Memories of this property take on the essence of a nightmare when thought back upon. Between the lousy accommodations, the lack of cleanliness, and the customer relations SNAFU, it's hard for me to believe this place was in business; never mind charging such a premium rate for it's...

We had four beautiful nights at this adorable "old Keys" resort. Having lived in the Keys during the mid-eighties, we were delighted to find an authentic Keys experience. Sheila and staff are super. The room was clean and comfortable, with a refurbished bath. Nice. We will return and recommend to friends.

We've stayed there in the end of Februar 2 nights and had Appartment 1. Its simple and ok but in my opinion it needs renovation. The Furniture looks old and not-matching together, the wind shields are damaged, bathroom clean but old and had defekts. You have with the appartment your own front porch, which is nice but here the same... More

As with any accommodation, you can't really tell what a place is like from the net, there is always an element of unknown that you hope turns out ok. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The cottages are really comfortable and clean. The common bar area is great for socializing and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We... More

Agree with those who have said this is a great basic base in Marathon. It is not the Hilton/Marriott but we dont want the Hilton/Marriott. A word to the wise ... be sure to confirm an inside shower if that is important to you (as it was to us and not all the cabins have this) Cottage 10 has a... More
