“This adults-only haven, south of Key Largo, impressed me with its dedication to quiet relaxation. I especially appreciated the private beach, where kayaks and paddleboards awaited. The proximity to both nature and practical needs-groceries and a liquor store are minutes away-strikes a smart balance.”
