I found Poinciana Place on the internet, and my husband and I have stayed there four times...the first time we saw it. we fell in love...we have always stayed in the upstairs unit and we have always been pleased with the level of cleanliness and since it is supposed to be No Smoking, we have never had a problem as far as that is concerned.
I think the ants are a problem everywhere in the Keys. We refer to the cottage as 'our cottage' I am sure we are not the only ones, and the owner, Bruce is a lovely man and very amenable to requests... I would not hestitate to recommend the plave to anyone.

Poinciana Place is a part of lazy lane cottages. We had stayed at another Lazy lane property, the Jasmine House, and loved it. Poinciana Place was where we were supposed to stay for the remaining 3 nights of our trip. It isn't the worst place and may be appropriate for spring breakers or someone who just wants a place to sleep. But it had a bad feel. It was dark and not clean. There were ants everywhere. and it smelled like smoke. The owner was nice enough to let us check out after the first night for just the price of the deposit, but I would not recommend this to anyone who wants to stay somewhere nice.
