This place is fine for its location if you're driving up and down the Keys. It's like an old motor home park or the type of cabins that you see in the Clark Cable movie "It Happened One Night." Inside the cabin is modern, but the outside is bare ground along a side street. There is nothing within walking distance... More

We had a great stay at the cottages. Everyone was very attentive to our needs. The cottage was neat and clean. The new tiki bar was a plus and a decent breakfast each morning. I would certainly recommend staying here. GREAT deal for the price and location! More

I reviewed this property on trip advisor prior to booking our trip (January 23-28, 2012). I have to say the place was everything we hoped it would be and more. The staff were very willing to assist in anyway. Bartender Mike (be sure to ask him about fishing charters, he is a boat captain by day) was very helpful in... More

I was disappointed that we could only stay for a night! It was very cute. The bed was comfortable, everything clean, quiet area, and the staff was very friendly. With the kitchenette area, we thought it'd be a great place to stay for a few days if we had had the chance. I thought it was cozy and we had... More

Tropical Cottages is a different vacation spot and We are glad we choose it. We generally stay at Best Western inside of Key West but decided to stay outside away from all the hustle. I am so glad we did. Tropical cottages does not offer a hotel setting, so if you are expecting that, than this may not be the... More

My friends and I love the theme room. The room is clean and cozy. Breakfast is provided and the staff is friendly. It's value for money too. More

Located off of US-1 this cute destiny is surprisingly quiet, cozy and clean. It's a great location in the middle of everything.  As for the cottages they are renovated, yet modern with the outdoor feel. I stayed in cottage #8 (shown in picture) this has to be the most intimate place I've stayed in all week in the keys. Being the clean freak that I am, I was pleasantly shocked how clean the cottage was. (thank you) The toilet is inside with granite countertops and the shower is outside. Being a city girl I hesitated at first but this shower became a favorite key factor. The cottage also included a full kitchen, dishwasher, large fridge, plates, glasses etc.. Did I mention the king size bed? Yes all this in a little cottage!!   Parking is located on site for free. They have a great BBQ grill for use free as well. As for customer service... We had a confusion at first with our check in date the nice lady seemed a bit unorganized.  Sheila the owner was very helpful when taking my reservation and did me a favor. She trust's and looks out for her customers, very old school service:) Nice Touch! Overall everyone is super nice and means well. The breakfast can use some attention.  For the price we paid I can absolutely recommend swinging by this hidden gem but remember, don't judge a books by it's cover! More

Had the pleasure of staying here the week before Thanksgiving 2011. The cottage was nice, clean and reasonably appointed. The continental breakfast was outside every morning and was a good way to start a busy day! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Liked the location, close enough to Key West without the high prices found there yet plenty of... More
