"If you don't mind being a short drive from Duval Street and the Old Town action, this quiet resort is made up of typical Conch-style bungalows set among lush tropical foliage."

" It is waterfront, but not beachfront—however, there is a narrow manmade beach abutting the bay. There are four nicely landscaped pools just in case." Full review
