About this property

2BR/1BA Serene Cozy Cottage of Shady Palms in Islamorada With Heated Pool

Enjoy a unique and secluded vacation experience in the heart of Islamorada at Shady Palms! Our charming cottage home features two private bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and a spacious living area to accommodate up to 4 guests comfortably.

There are many sights to see and activities to enjoy nearby. Within just a mile from our cottage is Islamorada's top-rated attraction, Robbie's Marina, where you can embark on a variety of adventurous activities, including snorkeling, fishing, parasailing, or sunset charters, as well as guided tours by kayak or paddleboard through the mangrove channels encompassing the island's coasts. During your time on the water, you may encounter fascinating marine species, such as manatees, Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and sea turtles. From the shore at Robbie's Marina, try hand-feeding the massive tarpon and friendly nurse shark species commonly found in our warm, tropical waters.

There's something to please every family member here in the Florida Keys, such as swimming with dolphins and sea lions at Theater of the Sea or learning more about the island's culture and history at the History of Diving Museum. Foodies will also enjoy a range of restaurants serving various dishes, including authentic Cuban and Florida Keys cuisine. Our favorites include Midway Café for delectable breakfasts, baked goods, smoothies, and the best Key Lime Pie Frappé! For dinner, consider reserving a table at Lazy Day's, where you can enjoy a superb ocean view from the comfort of their dining room and an excellent menu selection that will appeal to even the pickiest palettes.

After a fun-filled day traversing the island chain, return home to the comfort of your private vacation home, where you can rest easy and recharge. To help you relax, consider a dip in the communal, heated swimming pool, which is exclusively accessible to the few cottage homes at Shady Palms. Are you planning on doing some boating? Caloosa Cove Marina is just 3 miles south and offers competitive wet slip, trailer storage, and fuel prices.

Great Little Place!

We stayed here with our son. Its not huge but a very nice updated home that makes great use of the space available. The pool area is very nice. The neighborhood is great for walks and there is a great walking path next to the highway that you can go a long ways on. We highly recommend a stay here!

Great little cottage for a boys trip

Rented this with my two long-time friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays. Good location and access to founders park was a nice bonus. No walkable access to the ocean, not a complaint, just something to understand. Hanging Robbie’s and the brewery right down the street was very nice.

Terrible bed, Fantastic Bungalow & Property Mgmt

I have only one complaint… the beds are like concrete. I literally had a bruise on my hip from sleeping on my side after the first night… moved to the sofa after. That being said, the bungalow is adorable and perfectly outfitted for a vacation away from home. FYI, coffee pot is a regular one so bring coffee with you. Last thing… the property mgr is AMAZING & was wonderful with communication!

Upon arriving, we walked into the house and were pleasantly surprised. Very Clean, Well Equipped, and honestly I’d say one of the perfect little houses we’ve stayed in. The location is perfect. We loved that it included the pool. We would definitely stay again.

Incredible Cottage

We had the best family vacation! The location is central to great entertainment and restaurants but also secluded enough to be a quiet retreat at night. Loved the pool and the cleanliness of the property! We can’t wait to come back.

Super Cute Cottage

I booked the cottage as a surprise for my wife’s 50th birthday and it was a great choice. The place is absolutely adorable and has everything you need. It was spotless and perfectly located, includes private parking and a pool. The place looks just like the pictures except it’s even better in person. Tons of restaurants and bars within 5-10 minutes. I highly recommend it and we look forward to going back soon.

We arrived after dark and the property manager had the cottage lights on making it so warm and inviting! Any questions we texted to the property manager were answered promptly. The cottage was perfect for my husband and I. It was in an ideal location to explore all of the keys throughout our weeklong stay.

Shady palms paradise

This was a great last minute getaway. I asked several questions before we arrived and they were answered quickly. Property was as described, clean, well stocked and close to lots of activities and eateries. Check in was simple, we were sent an email before arrival with all pertinent info. Lovely place, great neighborhood hope to be back.

Perfect cottage in the Keys

This cottage was absolutely perfect for a weekend get away. Very clean, no problem with appliances, and a short walk to the pool. There were inside lights (like an alarm, fire, or motion) within the living room that went off randomly throughout the day. During the night, we just closed the bedroom doors so the light wouldn't reach us. This cottage is on a private lane, so you can walk without much traffic (which we enjoyed). We would definitely stay here again.
