Beyond the sign

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Jan 2016via mobile
The somewhat tattered sign on the road gives you little sense of the delight that awaits you at White Gate. The units are charming in their decor and very clean and welcoming. The owner is cheerful and helpful and his good humor is contagious. Pets are more than welcome. I would have stayed simply for the pleasure of playing with Fred, the resident dachshund. Bicycles and kayaks are are available at no charge, and no hassle. I might have given a 5 star rating if there had been a better selection of bicycles. The beach on the bay is perfect for watching the sunset. An atmosphere of friendliness and good will prevails.

Our room (#1) was perfect for two people and our dog. This place was so friendly. But how could it not be? Everyone there was a dog lover and brought them along on their family vacation. We met so many nice people.

My dad, my labrador Sandy and I spent quite some time here and we couldn't have asked for a better getaway. The room was kept super clean and it was the perfect, cozy Keys style cottage that we know and love. The staff is great, so friendly and always seen with a smile on their face. My dog Sandy couldn't get enough of the beach and loved playing in the crystal clear water with her fellow canine guests! Not only does White Gate Court allow pets but they truly care for them and do everything they can to make the four legged guests happy. In addition to the guaranteed pampering of your pet, the amenities that come with your stay will have you returning every year. Just imagine waking up to a beautiful view of the Caribbean and walking just a few feet to the water where you and your pet can share a fun, refreshing swim. White Gate Court is not just a resort, it is an experience that can't be missed.

I really wanted to love White Gate Court; maybe my expectations were too high. They allow dogs of all sizes which is really why you stay here. Unfortunately one not-so-nice off leash dog kind of spoiled our stay. We tried to make the best of it, stayed inside all day one day just to stay away from the little brown terror dog that was always off leash without a human in sight. Not all dogs get along and just because the dogs CAN be off leash, doesn’t mean they all SHOULD be off leash. It all started when we went for a walk one morning, my dog on leash minding his own “business” when from the other side of the bushes comes this dog barking and lunging at my dog, the barking even turned to growling/grumbling. My dog is 3 or 4 times larger than the little brown dog so I had to hold my dog back. The little brown dog even lunged at me! I didn’t want to be the 1st incident on the property. Eventually the dogs human came out of her cottage and informed me that I am new there, her dog is nice and is just saying hello!?! Every time we came outside when that dog was out it was the same attack and every time the owner was a good distance away and we were frozen in place waiting for her to get her dog. I then had to do scouting missions anytime we needed to go outside or go to the car to make sure the little brown nightmare was not outside.
This was the only “problem” dog we ran into. There was a very nice black lab and a funny doodle that would carry his floating toys to the beach, it was adorable. My dog enjoyed swimming the few times we were able to get to the beach without our brown friend being around.
We stayed in Cottage Number 7, it was a clean private cottage that could use some updating - they have everything you need including full size fridge and grill outside. Overall this is a great place to relax and enjoy the sunsets with your well behaved 4 legged family members. I just wish I could have relaxed more outside.

Good Morning: So very sorry you had this issue with this dog, we tried speaking with the Owner's several times about allowing the dog to be off leash and she kept telling me that she was placing leash on dog. Well apparently she did not.

We try our very best to promote to all owner's to have their dogs on a leash until all of them become friendly with one another, and so far it has worked we have never had an incident with this.

So, we have a list for Guests that refuse to follow our resort pet policies and the owners of this dog have been placed on this LIST OF NO RETURN GUEST DUE TO NOT FOLLOWING PET PROCEDURES...

We apologize for all inconvenience this dog has caused during your stay and we look forward to seeing you again here at our resort.

I spent a relaxing weekend with my 2 greyhounds. The grounds are very well kept. We stayed in villa #5 that provided a full living room with a queen sized sleeper sofa, a double bed off the living room and 2 single beds in the bedroom. Great water pressure from the shower. Kitchen was equipped with a full sized refrigerator, 4 burners, pots and pans, silverware, glassware, dishes, cooking utensils and coffee maker. Each unit has it's own grill and we had a large table with chairs outside for dinners with friends. Amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, use of bicycles and canoes. Cell phone reception is sketchy, but there is a land line located outside the office for emergencies. Management is available 24 hours a day, even when the office is closed. Very clean facilities, friendly staff, and great places to relax and enjoy the sunsets with your well behaved 4 legged family members.

White Gate Court is not fancy but it is clean, the beds are great and the staff is wonderful. Paradise is right outside the door. We saw a loggerhead turtle that seems to be there in the morning and evening. There is a Manatee that comes by in the evening. We also saw Dolphin, tarpon and all the colorful fish that reside right under the dock. Anything you need the staff will do. Wonderful place.
