About the host
Hosted by Roger and Linda Robitaille
We both grew up in Western Massachusetts. For many years, we vacationed in South Florida over the holidays and yearned for its warm weather and gorgeous, tropical ocean waters. Now retired, our permanent residence is in Naples, Florida, where we enjoy power-boating, swimming, and bicycling all year long.
Why they chose this property
For years, we dreamed of owning a Keys home. The quaint, well-maintained conch homes and gorgeous landscaping in Anglers Reef captured our hearts immediately! "Windley Cottage" is the perfect location within the community - close to the pool and boat lagoon, yet farther from the road. With its "Keysie" charm and subtle beachy decor, we were sold!
What makes this property unique
Windley Cottage is in an architectural style known as a "Bahamian Conch Cottage" with high ceilings on both floors, porches, balconies, and metal roofing. The community is reminiscent of the classic structures of Key West. Although each of the homes has different individual details (dormers, gingerbread, hip or gabled rooflines, porch railing details), all are of the same basic style, providing the feeling of a village within the Village. A stroll through the community is a step back to simpler, more laid-back times (but with all the modern amenities).
Our particular home's pastel yellow painted clapboard siding is cheery and inviting. Large double-hung windows allow plenty of light into our home. Sitting on the back porch or on the guest room balcony marveling at the sunrise over the ocean or a sunset to the west is a treat.
The attention to details inside makes our home stand out among the others! It's so much more than a well-outfitted and maintained home! The delightfully decorated interior, includes some bead board and wainscoting, with a few custom beachy accents, complete the home's feel of a luxurious, tranquil accommodation. Mood lighting and an electric fireplace add to the romantic feel. Windley Cottage is truly special and we open our home to vacationers, like yourself, so that you too can enjoy it!
