This 1000 square foot keys cottage is on a 5000 square foot island, and was self built in the fifties by an adventuresome woman pilot. It's been the subject of print and media advertising campaigns over the years such as FLA USA & Keys Lite Beer (a latitude of difference.) Imagine the opportunity to be castaway on your own private isle. . .

This updated home features ceiling fans, air conditioning, bamboo & rattan furniture, TV, VCR & stereo. The living room cathedral ceiling is exposed wood beams with a mix of wood & tile flooring. The master suite features a sunken Jacuzzi tub with walk-in double head shower. Panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico extend from every room in this tiny cottage. French doors lead from the great room to a screened front porch (perfect for corporate board meetings) and to a side covered deck which is the ideal location for sunset viewing. The kitchen offers a breakfast bar stocked with cooking & dining equipment as well as modern appliances that include a washer/dryer. The island is supplied with all of its utilities (electricity, fresh water & telephone) piped underwater from the mainland.

The open air boathouse landing features a double slip with floating dock & gang plank ramp for easy boating access. Landscaped board walks surround the cottage for strolls around the island. This ancient exposed reef features native vegetation of silver buttonwood, black mangroves, sea grapes, pitch apples which attract a variety of migrating & resident birds. The quintessential keys scenes are of occasional visiting dolphins, manatees, parrot & angel fish swimming in crystal clear warm waters, roosting pelicans, great herons fishing, and flocks of sea gulls overhead.

The resort has in the past conducted its popular weddings on the island's sunset deck. With the addition coconuts & bananas, the landscaping will match the jungle like foliage which has become the resort's trademark.
