As one of the best family resorts in the Florida Keys, we offer spacious beach houses that are ideal for families! The beach houses include a full kitchen, living room, laundry facilities and the option of two or three bedrooms.
If that’s not enough, kids love bouncing from our lagoon style tropical swimming pool and our white sand beach, located directly on the Gulf of Mexico. Families on a budget can enjoy our double queen guestrooms which are more intimate than our larger beach houses, but still offer much more space than a standard hotel room.
You won’t have to go far for meals with casual dining at TJ’s Tiki Bar or try our award winning restaurant, Butterfly Cafe which has a fantastic kid’s menu. If you’re up to it, you can even cook a family feast in your own gourmet kitchen at Tranquility Bay when purchasing a two or three-bedroom beach house. For your convenience a Publix grocery store is nearby to stock up on all of your family needs. We do not offer breakfast at the resort but across the street you will find a local-favorite called Juice Paradise which offers authentic Cuban breakfast and a large hot breakfast menu to choose from.
Families and children especially love watching a gorgeous Florida Keys sunset, teeing up on our putting green, or enjoying an array of watersports, including: diving and snorkeling adventures, kayaking, paddle boarding, wave runners, Hobi Cat and small boat rentals and guided eco-tours.
