This July we went to Key West for my daughter's wedding. The hotel in Key West was totally misrepresented, the weather there was miserable, and the day we left we were caught in a monsoon and were completely soaked. We had already checked out of our hotel and had nowhere to go, and had to get in our rental car... more

Hello to All Florida Keys Seekers, My girlfriend and I stayed at the Tropical Cottages in May 2008. You will see her review below. And the follow up comment from the owner. Truthfully, we had a really bad stay there. It all started great, with Debbie the owner introducing us to the place before she left for holidays - she's... more

We arrived at the Tropical Cottages smiling, happy and ready for a romantic weekend. Five minutes into our stay we saw a 3 inch cockroach roaming around our room. We weren't happy about it, but thought it to be an isolated event. We were watching TV that night and suddenly I spot a spider, decending slowly from the ceiling haging... more

Scorpion and Roaches youhave the making of a fiction book! Unfortunately you left out some important parts of the story! Clue one, you left a note signed by you which I still have saying there was a,meaning one scorpion you saw in your cottge,no mention of roaches or spiders. Personally,I would never stay in a roach ,spider and scorpion infested...

We stayed at the Tropical Cottages for one night in Feb 2008 on the way down to Key West. The hosts were fabulous. They were very welcoming and did everything to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Admittedly, there are no facilities on the property but if you want to experience some Florida Keys magic and have transport to get... more

The accomodation is just a selection of wooden sheds on gravel , theres is noise from the highway and from aircraft landing in the nearby... more

I stayed at Tropical Cottages with my 2 teenage girls for 3 nights. The property hosts, Debbie & Harvey, were wonderful - so solicitous and accommodating. They really made us feel welcome and at home. They hosted cocktails (& refreshments suitable for my teens) on our first night and we got to meet the other guests. Our cottage had a... more

Loved every minute I stayed here, my cottage was decorated in vintage Florida Keys style, a luxurious king size bed with lots of pillows and nice linens. I had a wicker sofa with pillows as well as a tiny table outside my front door, a great place to stargaze at night. Everything you need is on the property, outdoor hot... more

My husband and I spent 3 nights here. The owners are very warm, friendly and accomodating. They were attentive to any requests and were very helpful in making decisions about where to get a good meal or suggestions on different things to do in the area. The cottage we had was very nice. They had taken great care to make... more

Tropical Cottages was up for sale as part of an estate when we stayed there. I hope the new owners don't change anything, as our one-night stay there was very positive. The managers, who are also involved in the sale, were an extremely pleasant and friendly couple, who went out of their way to be helpful. The cabin we rented... more
