What a gem! My husband, our two grown children, their two friends and myself had the best time! Right on the water! Ideal for fellow Tesla owners- Supercharger is right up the street! Clean and charming grounds! Loved how the complex and unit were laid out. Having your own private laundry right under your unit- the best! Great front desk folks! We used all the amenities that include free kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, ping pong, tennis, docks, and fish cleaning stations! Walk and bike to tons of restaurants or the grocery store! Heated and lovely on-site pool! Kayaking through the mangroves and in the Gulf whenever you want- wow! Wish we could have stayed longer!

I loved this place. It is a beautiful property with a marina, pool, kayak, and canoes all included at no charge. The home is unique, although not luxurious that is good enough for a fun week on the water. I rented a boat for the week and keep it right at the marina. Easy access to 7-mile bridge and only 1 hour from Key West to enjoy some nightlife.

The Reef is a wonderfully, funky little gem. The villas are spacious and clean….especially the bathrooms. Is there nothing more satisfying than a clean bathroom? The grounds are beautifully kept and the staff are kind and helpful. We can’t wait to get back…soon!

Our stay at The Reef will always be a memorable one. Great staff, clean villas with their own individual laundry rooms and beautiful ocean views. Far exceeded what we thought was already going to be a great stay. We will most definitely stay there again on our next trip to the Florida Keys.
