Big Pine Key Cook Island Hotels

"Absolutely horrible stay. It took over an hour to get the key code. The place looks like an unfinished Boy Scout project. Everything is old and dirty and rusty . Cigarette butts on the beach. Everything is rundown and damaged. I don’t believe that there was even a credible architect building this place. I felt like I was in a horror movie. Last but not least We found out that the place is for sale…..No wonder !"

"“Cute Costal Cottages”. We stayed in the “Snapper”. Beds very comfortable, staff very attentive and friendly. We had private outdoor seating facing water. We enjoyed the hammocks in the shade. They serve lemonade and cookies in the afternoon. Breakfast was a great plus. There was a daily charter right at our pier, the couple who ran it were very friendly. We have traveled a lot and know what to appreciate, don’t skip Palmers! Did I mention comfy bed and bend over backwards staff?"

"Staf at the bar were very dlow"

"Barnacle Resort Stayed 3 nights at the “Treehouse Private Village” in the Barnacle Resort on Big Pine Key. I really enjoyed my stay, the property is quite nice, and very private. One of the attractions on Big Pine Key is seeing Key deer, which astonishingly wandered around the resort property several times a day. Don’t touch or feed them, very illegal, but you can get quite close, as they are fairly tame.It wasn’t clear when I made my reservation just where the room was on the property, since the pictures mainly showed the larger building. As it turns out, my reservation was for the separate, smaller building next to the main house. The “Treehouse” was completely private, and has its own kitchen and full bath, which I really appreciated. There are three or four available rooms in the main building, along with the common areas for dining, etc. So be sure you have the correct room information when you book your stay.There were a couple of things I had to deal with, like the TV wasn’t plugged in, no power outlets in the kitchen for the coffee machine (ran it off the floor in the main room), but really nothing major. And the host responded quickly to any questions, plus I think there’s folks onsite for anything that might be needed.All in all, I was quite pleased with my experience there. If natural beauty, privacy, and location close to Bahia Honda State Park and Key West are at the top of your list, check this place out."

"This is great property to stay for boat owners. The house is completely remodeled and very comfortable. We had everything we needed. Looking forward to booking another trip!"

"By the description of the property I was was hoping for an amazing experience. The house exterior looked like it was in need of clean up. It just looked like the construction crew left and no one did detail cleaning Our room was on the upper level. It was called the Star room. Apparently there was a methane gas leak somewhere, as our room, the entire stay smelled like an unflushed toilet. It was a lingering odor. We had fans in the room, which helped. The house has this lovely weather vane on the top of the roof, which rotated with the wind. Unfortunately, it needed greasing! It squeaked and made noise all night! I was never able to speak directly to the management. I could only leave a message, and I was never called back. So, if you do rent at this VRBO, be aware,, no management will be of any help. "

"Lovely property, we had a great stay! Had everything we needed when we walked in the door. The host even replaced some missing outdoor cushions during our stay. The pool was fantastic. we brought our own jetskis, having the docking station available was a bonus. Had to learn about the tides to get in and out and about the wildlife refuge that we weren’t allowed to go through but what a beautiful area. We used the kayaks almost daily and saw something new every time we went out. "

"We just spent 31 nights in Jan/Feb 2026 celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary. The location was perfect for exploring all the keys. We even drove up to Miami Beach one day and was easy to get back before sunset. The location was great for day trips to Key West, getting there in less than 45 minutes. The house is on a very quiet dead-end road. There is a convenience store within 2 miles and a Winn-Dixie within 5 miles. The bird life and key deer on the beach were amazing. The heated pool was so nice and well maintained. The large washer and dryer were very nice. The Kitchen had everything we needed. The place was relaxing. Greg was very helpful and attentive. We would give this place more than 5 stars if we could."

"The house is sufficient for 2 couples, 3 in a pinch (with only 2 showers) and 2 (only) moderately sized vehicles. It was clean, kitchen sufficient for cooking. Host responsive. Exterior furniture needs some TLC but nothing that prohibited us from having a nice time. Boat dock ok for 23' boat. Decent high tide launch on the other side of island. Take your own Roku for any tv beyond basic Xfinity cable. Internet not stable some times, may just be what is available on Little Torch"
