About this property

Our Bayfront hideaway cottage is located in the middle Keys on a small island called 'Conch Key', and offers some of the best sailing in the Gulf anywhere in the Keys. Our guests have exclusive use of 23', well maintained, ComPac sailboats, for the duration of their stay. The island is the smallest island in the Keys. It is reminiscent of a quaint Bahamian lobster fishing village, with colorful cottages nestled closely together. Rustic wharves are charmingly cluttered with lobster traps, nets, and fishing gear. There is a well kept secret that lobster and fish are both plentiful. Back country fishing and off shore sport fishing are readily available.
Our ideal location near Marathon, in the middle Keys, will allow you to visit both Key West and Key Largo, each approximately one hour away. Additionally, we offer dock space with water and electricity for our guests wanting to bring their own boat for some of the best fishing in the world. Impeccably clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated.
Since 1988, we have taken pride in the fact that we have the cleanest, most well-maintained accommodations in the Florida Keys!

Perfect location

We had the best time at our stay on Conch Key. The location allowed us to explore up and down the Florida keys. My children had the best time and didn’t even want to leave our little cottage to explore. They kayaked, rode bikes and fished all day long. My son caught so many amazing fish off the dock. Plenty of room for my family of 5! Everyone had their own space. I would LOVE to come back and stay again!

Great Stay

We recently had a week-long stay at this property in Conch Key for the mini lobster season. Berry welcomed us and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the nautical decorations and felt it was very clean. To top it all off, the views from the back porch and dock were beautiful.

A wonderful stay

We loved this place. We enjoyed the view, the water, the kayaks, the bikes, the neighborhood, the beach close by, the fishing and snorkeling. We also enjoyed the grilled fish on the deck, the dock, the coziness of the house. We would definitely come back. Thank you so much for a great stay.

Great Vacation!

This place is terrific! Tucked right in on the edge of the water, docks, nautical theme....just fantastic! Sea kayaks, bikes, etc made for a spectacular family trip. Clean, well appointed kitchen, icy cold a/c, comfy beds and pillows. We will be staying again! Thanks to Barry and Tammy!

Conch Key - The Best!

Old Florida - the only way to go! Quaint, clean & quiet - just what you need for a relaxing vacation. Nothing fancy - just the "slow & easy" life in the Keys. A few days on the water looking for "bugs", nice dinner in a local restaurant, & coffee on the back porch with the cool, fresh air = the best time.

Perfect, quiet stay in the Middle Keys

Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tammy and Barry's quaint cottage. The cottage itself is fully equipped and impeccably clean. Our family with 3 teens explored much of the middle and southern keys, and we felt this location was perfect for that. We would come back after a busy day out and relax. There were bikes and kayaks available for our use which was a huge plus as well.

Amazing little cabin!

Of all the places we stayed while traveling through the keys, this was our favorite! It's clean, albeit a bit rustic, and just perfect for our family. My son spent most of his time 'hunting' lizards and fishing off the dock. We saw lots of different marine wildlife from needle fish and grunt fish to horseshoe crabs and rays. They have lights under the dock so you can even look for critters afyer dark.A few days before our stay, someone even saw a manatee! It was so idyllic. My husband is already planning another trip.

Life at the Conch House

What a wonderful surprise! The house was filled with period pieces of nautical nostalgia. My husband is a history buff and a nautical enthusiast, so he thoroughly enjoyed the environment. Gorgeous sunsets, great sailing and other water gear. I highly recommend this place!
