My family of 4 adults plus one child stayed for 10 days NOV 07. I can highly recommend this complex. Very clean and secure. Great beach ( both of them) small so easy to keep watch on a small child. Lots to do on the complex. The lagoon for swimming was great fun. The other pool lovely and warm and clean. Our apartment was perfect, big, clean, and comfortable the owners went to considerable effort to make sure everything was available to make our stay perfect. Great restuarants and diner close by. Supermarkets easy driving ( 5 mins) , Never caught so many fish before, even my 3 yr old grandson caught with a Scooby Doo rod. Our flight back to UK was not until 9.15pm, the owners had no problem with us staying on extra hours without charge, ( unheard of with most hotels and apts) We got our apt through Vacation Rentals listing # 27031

Just got back from a wonderful week in the Keys, We stayed at the Kawama Yacht Club in Apartment 503 and I must say it was a delight. The apartment was clean and fresh, the rooms were well laid out and the view from the balcony was just great to watch the sunsets or to watch the Dolphins out at sea. We have been to the keys on several occasions and must admit this was one of the nicest places we have stayed. The resort is well laid out and you have use of the new pool for the tower, the beach and the lagoon, one of the pools is for the town house use only. The Owner greeted us when we arrived and showed us around and was there to collect the keys when we left, he was very helpful and gave us some good tips on places to see.

FOOD:
Mrs Macs Kitchen: You have to try this it’s a great place for breakfast or dinner, you must try the streaks they are fantastic

Sundowners: Not as good as it used to be, seems to be resting on its reputation, service was slow and the food although Ok was not special enough to command the prices they charge

Tugboats: OK but not brilliant
Islamorada Fish Company; Great settings, food very good but service can be a bit slow, oh and expensive for the Keys

Buzzards Roost: You must go to this restaurant the setting, the food and the service are excellent, it’s a little more expensive than the rest of the restaurants around but well worth every penny,

PLACES TO VISIT
Bahia Honda
Pigeon Key
John Pennycamp
Key West
Everglades

We stayed in a 3-bedroom condo at the Kawama Yacht Club for a week in August, 2007. There were three couples in our party, so it was perfect in terms of the amount of space.

What we liked: we really enjoyed having access to a kitchen and living/family room, where we could hang out together after the day's activities (not something you can easily replicate in a hotel). The location is pretty good too -- easy access to US1 and all the local restaurants/activities. Finally, the cost, which was a lot cheaper than the hotels we were considering, was definitely a plus.

What we didn't like: we were completely unimpressed with the pool (tiny and dirty), 'beach' and lagoon (also very dirty). I couldn't imagine swimming in either the pool or the lagoon -- that was defiitely something we missed.

Stayed here for a week from 5th July after a couple of weeks of theme parks in Orlando.
We rented a beautiful two story house in Block B overlooking the pool and close to the lagoon.
Kawama is an excellent location for a holiday....containing a mixture of houses and apartments, a marina, swimming pools and a saltwater lagoon ideal for snorkelling, the complex is maintained to a very high standard...ideal for families and couples.
About 10-15 minutes walk away are a couple of restaurants/bars including the Pilot House with excellent food and atmosphere.
Publix supermarket is about ten minutes by car.
Close by also is John Pennecamp Park for swimming, snorkelling & coral reef trips, kayaking.
Dont miss a trip to Key West, 2 1/2 hours drive but worth it....stop at the Seven Mile Bridge on the way back for the sunset.
Plent of options for fishing trips and renting boats, including Robbies Marina where you can also feed massive Tarpon.
Eating out was a joy...as an example try the Islamorada Fish Company.
We had two teenagers with us and they had a ball...a week is not long enough.
