Free boat dockage and trailer parking up to 26 feet, dog friendly, waterfront bayside on Matecumbe bight about a mile down from Robbie's Marina. Y'all who go to the Keys should check it out.

Thanks for the recommendation. It looks nice! Would like to try it out.

I don't think I would recommend our place.
Monday was manual laborers with pick axe and shovels digging trenches for irrigation through the limerock covered coral rock. 7:00 start
Tuesday was tree trimming, and I mean a pile of men and equipment with three bucket trucks, one small portable and two chippers behind enclosed box trucks. 8:00 start Two problems seem obvious. 1. Access is already limited the driveway is narrow so there was no getting in or out 2. Three chainsaws screaming in such close proximity to our cottage is three too many for any vacation.
Honestly, the coconuts had to be removed before someone got killed. 60' tree with a 6 lb bowling ball hurling toward mother earth. I was hesitant to sit on the back porch for fear of the damn things falling when we first arrived, especially with the wind blowing a steady 15 to 20.. Oh yeah, the back porch was pavers, some cheap chairs and a table. Some of the pavers were not yet installed, so one day the workers spent some time finishing the back porch.
Thurs. mid afternoon was yard service day which included a pile more trimming, cutting and cleaning of the compound... I Started to feel like John Candy in Summer Rental... I literally dropped the girls off at the dock, turned the boat around, bought some bait and went to the reef. That was my night trip.

You make the best of it, especially when you book as late as we did...
