Host Sue was wonderful. Just attentive enough. The bungalow was charming and in a private setting. Neighbors were rarely seen, even at the pool. It was a quiet and beautiful location. The pictures don't do it justice.

Amazing

A cute cabin, centrally located in Islamorada, with lots of mature trees making it very private. The property has a nice pool with views of the ocean. The kitchen has everything you need, and while it’s a small space, it’s extremely functional. Will definitely stay here again.

A week in paradise

What a wonderfully peaceful retreat this cottage offered. The location was quiet, private, and beautifully landscaped with tropical trees and foliage. The kitchen was well-equipped and the cottage artfully decorated. The pool was heated and the ocean view magical. Conveniently located, we had easy access to everything we needed on the island

Perfect Romantic Getaway

The cottage we stayed in was beyond beautiful, nestled in the middle of the property but still seemed very secluded. Included more amenities than listed on the site which was such a pleasant surprise- outdoor shower, grill, W/D, full (small) kitchen with all the gadgets. Perfect for our honeymoon getaway. The pool was wonderful and access to the kayaks/paddleboards a plus! Sue was so inviting, called to make sure we were OK getting down there and the check-in was effortless. She even dropped off delicious keylime tarts!!! Great proximity to so many shops, marinas, restaurants, so much to do - but still a private place to quietly go back to enjoy R&R. I highly recommend for any romantic getaway!

Paradise Found

My husband and I have been coming down to Islamorada for 20 years mostly with family. This year we decided to get our own place just for us. I stumbled upon Turtle Cove and was thrilled when I saw the Kemp Cottage was available and that we could bring our boat. What a fantastic cottage! It was actually bigger than I thought it would be. Everything was pristine! Huge walk in shower that I was not expecting. Washer and dryer in our cottage. Two small refrigerators were perfect for our needs. There was not one thing that we needed. This place has it all! Loved waking up each morning and having my breakfast on the large deck. And the outdoor shower right off our deck was awesome! The whole property is amazing from the pool to the grounds. The storage room that has all the “toys” was like a beach store! Not one thing I could think of that wasn’t there. They even had a crab bucket for us to take for fishing! And Sue was the best host. Always replied to my text right away. 5 star!
