Islamorada, Florida
Enjoy a unique and secluded vacation experience in the heart of Islamorada at Shady Palms! Our charming cottage features two private bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and a spacious living area that comfortably accommodates up to four guests.
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.
We stayed at Shady Palms for 5 days. It was clean, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The pool was lovely after a day out on a boat. Highly recommend!
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.
This was a nice property. The only issue I had was we left one bag at the property and I called the property manager Julia and explained that it was very important that we get the bag back. She said she would follow up with housekeeping and get back with me and I never heard back from her. I was very willing to pay for shipping and left the cleaning staff a nice tip. To me this was super unprofessional and essentially stealing. Make sure you do a thorough walkthrough because the staff will not report any items left at the property.
This space was perfect for two people looking to explore the Keys. It would work for three people but be tight for 4. It was clean, adequately equipped, and easy to find. Would definitely stay here again.
Very comfortable place, particularly liked that the Owner had a new fishing pole and gear. Would def come back again. One service that really needs improvement is the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity for 2 days of our stay: called property mgmt #, but.. no action to fix WiFi.
The villa was very nice, saltwater pool a plus, very quiet and private. I would recommend removing upholstered side chairs and replacing the sofa (not comfortable & worn out) with a small scale sofa with a right return chaise. This option would be better for seating if indeed 4 people shared the space. We were only 2.
The cottage is very clean and had all the basics for our stay. The cottage is fairly close to the Publix grocery store and all the restaurants so location for all those amenities is very good. Our 1 and only complaint was the road noise. This cottage backs up to the main highway so there are cars and trucks constantly driving by. We wish we would have known this as trying to sleep made it a bit difficult for us. If you are a heavy sleeper it probably won’t bother you, but for us it was not that great. The cottage itself is immaculate, nicely appointed, small but ok for a couple. (It gave us a taste for “tiny house” living) our only complaint was the constant road noise.
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.
The property was clean and very well maintained. Located very close to islamorada marinas. The pool is a 1 min walk and was really nice. I would rent again .
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.
We stayed for just over a week and it was perfect! Clean, easy to access and just what we were looking for. We will definitely book again next year!
Exceeded expectations, beautiful place
Love it! Such a cute place. New and clean. Loved the pool and proximity to Robbie’s.
Had a much larger group that had a nearby home it was perfect to sleep at.
