We really enjoyed our stay here. Although our platinum site wasn’t up to standard (it had some issues as a result of constantly being pounded on by the ocean that are being addressed) we were able to have an open discussion with the campground and the owner of the site. We are being refunded the difference between platinum and gold and I feel like our issues were handled appropriately and with grace.

I would stay here again in an instant.

Super fast Wi-Fi. Great pool.

We stayed at several RV campgrounds traveling from TN to Florida over 2 weeks! This was the cream of the crop!

We loved being outside and enjoying the tiki hut atmosphere. We utilized the laundry mat, walked the gardens, the public dock and park areas. Well maintained and wonderful experience. They knew us by name when we pulled up, and escorted us to our site. Expertly assisted us backing in. Only caveat was we were almost to far from the dump connections (we had two lines)!

“Sitting in the dock of the bay, wasting time…”
The lizards were so cute and fish were everywhere under our dock! The dock was a bit flimsy and if not careful could be hazardous.. take care there!

There is a house directly across from us being built and was extremely noisy in the morning time… so if you aren’t leaving your site.. you may need earbuds!

This place is top of the line in RV parks in the keys. The most spacious and private spots you will find in the keys. It’s also the most expensive, but I would not say over priced for what you get. All sites have tiki huts, most are have pavers and the facilities are nice. You super close to Key West. Staff is very helpful. Atmosphere is a little reserved. It’s just gorgeous.

We had a Bay front "gold" site which we believe fell a bit short of its "gold" status. For some reason, the owners of this site keep the "kitchen" area in the tiki under lock and key behind a heavy duty tarp and therefore, it can't be used. This was a real bummer. Additionally, the site had one of the smallest tikis on the bay side and the furniture definitely left a little to be desired compared to the furnishings at most other sites. Without a doubt, from what we observed, most all of the bay front "gold" sites had better amenities (outdoor kitchens and TV's) and were more lavishly appointed than our site. The "silver" designation would have been more appropriate for this site.
When we called the office to have someone come and close off the tiki with its shades from a rainstorm (as you are required to do), no one ever showed up to lower them.
Having said all of that, it is hard to beat having your rig backed up to the water, and sitting under a tiki sipping cocktails or eating a meal with the breeze in your face as you take it all in. Fabulous. Additionally, we launched our kayak right from our site for a pleasant paddle around the bay.
There is a nice pool area, though it is a bit on the small side. There is no hot tub. The resort streets are easy enough to get around on and are palm-lined.
I would never consider coming back to this resort with anything other than a bay front site. The canal sites get no breeze at all, have a view of neighboring housing units and the first ten or so sites have LOTS of road noise. The interior sites offer little in ambiance. It almost seems a shame to be at a resort right on the water, and have no view of it at all, let along getting a whiff of a breeze. There really isn't even anywhere to sit for a spell on a bench on the waterfront if you have an interior site. To be fair, the canal and interior sites are impeccably landscaped and cared for and many have truly great tikis, kitchens, bars, patios and outdoor TV's. But for the money, I just can't see missing out on the water front views and breezes.
All in all, its a great place. Just make sure you get a bay front site with good amenities.

We stayed here for an extended weekend and although it hits the wallet, you can't beat what you get. We had a canal site with tiki hut, fridge, microwave and bar area perfect for setting up our flat top grill. There's couches and a tv for those who like to lounge and a dock with dining table. The kids loved fishing from the dock. There are local companies that will deliver kayaks, jet skis, bait and tackle and more directly to your site. We took advantage of the kayak delivery and had kayaks tied up to our dock all weekend. We jumped on the kayaks for sunset cruises and to explore the local waters. You could stay here and not leave for any reason other than food and you would enjoy yourself and have a relaxing trip. Highly recommend at least once!

Unlike any other RV park / campground. We had our own access to water. The grounds are well kept and beautiful like in a top end hotel resort. We had a tiki hut by the water and the weather was warm in late December. We could go paddle boarding under the stars in the night.

We were actually hesitant to pay this much for an RV resort as we don’t usually even like the resort style RV parks, but rather prefer state parks or dispersed camping. We stayed for 7 nights and towards the end we were checking on daily basis if they had more availability so we wouldn’t need to leave.

The sites are a bit close to each other, so if you are unlucky and have noisy neighbors I can see how your experience could be different. Our neighbors were fine.

We spent a week (minimum stay) here and were pretty disappointed. We chose a “silver” camp spot, which is one of the least expensive ones with a chickee hut and a little dock. The sites on either side of us were “premium” and had outdoor living areas. We listened to dueling outdoor TV’s all day and night. So, if you like to watch TV all day and night in a chickee hut by the water for 200+ dollars per night, this is your place. If you’re looking to kick back and enjoy a quiet week by the water, move along.
