We stayed for three nights after travelling around USA, it was relaxing but a shame that there was not a private beach or somewhere to sit at the sea, there was a small area where you could fish but nowhere to sit, we were told the tiki bar would not be open as the guy who runs it decided to...

Stayed one night May 22,2012.The person who checked us in was wonderful, the maintenance guy made sure the door lock on Cottage 10 was working...the place was quaint and charming .We don't ask much but a warm or even tepid shower would have been nice, the water pressure out of the shower head was non existent...go sparingly on any soap...

We booked cottage #5 for 3 nights but once there they gave us cottage #4 without saying a word .. so we were a little disappointed and asked why we couldn't have the cottage we booked. The lady told us they were painting the #5 that's why they gave us the other one. Anyway cottage #4 was ok the only... More

Slept here for one night with my girlfriend. Very nice little place, we were both surprised about the high standard. Nice bedroom with a small kitchen area and a nice bathroom. When we arrived the owner was away, but the janitor took really good care of us and showed us around. There was a nice chillout area with a bar... More

My husband and I and 2 teenage children stayed for one night in Cottage 2 on Aprill 9th. We loved the place at first - cute clean cottages, the hammocks, sitting area, coffe in the morning and tiki bar. During the night though I woke to hear rustling noises in the kitchen. Thinking it might be a lizard or mouse... More

They were cute cottages, and pretty much what I expected. We were in cottage 5 and it had a new shower and a nice king size mattress. It looked like the cabin was freshly painted. We were quite comfortable. The bartender (sent me to an excellent restaurant Laz Daz) & the maintenance man was very helpful and courteous (gave us... More

you can't stay at a place called a cottage and expect a 5 star resort. A cottage is usually a modest, often cozy dwelling and that is exactly what Tropical Cottages is. The rooms are small, but I expected that when I arrived, as they are called cottages. We actually didn't plan on spending much time in the room. The... More

We wanted something different from the usual hotel/motel on our keys trip these cottages fitted the bill perfectly. Reception gave us a warm welcome on arrival and showed us to the cottage we had booked (I think it was 4 but could be mistaken) we wanted a king bed and this cottage was great. From what I gathered after if... More
