PERFECT STAY

We had a 100% positive experience at this property. The home was beautiful both indoors and out—comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully maintained. Being in a gated community gave us an added sense of comfort and peace of mind. The pool was definitely our favorite spot, and we loved how conveniently close it was to the house. We also really enjoyed meeting and chatting with the other renters and owners—such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Islamorada vacation

We had such a nice time at the Windley Cottage. The owners effectively communicated information about the home and check in before the stay, making arrival very easy. The home was very clean and had everything that we needed. The Anglers Reef area was nice and quiet. We enjoyed walks to the docks, kayaking, and swimming in the pool. We absolutely loved Islamorada and hope to visit again!

Great spring break getaway

We just spent a week at Windley Cottage and had an amazing time. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 4. Everything was comfortable and we felt very safe and at ease in the community. The property was centrally located to what the keys have to offer. Communicating with Roger and Linda was so easy and they were more than helpful with questions we had. I would stay here again in a heart beat and recommend it to anyone.

Great location for family

Spent a week in Islamorada with my wife, child (2 yrs) and we spent the majority of the time around the pool and getting some good RnR in.Check-in process was easy and the owners were very responsive. While the location was great, as we were pretty much glued to the pool and beach area, we didn't fully explore all that the area had to offer - but what we DID have to explore was great! Pool was perfect for our family activities, a quick (30-second) walk to the pool and beach area. Additionally, it's a quick 3-4 minute drive to Publix and a Starbucks, and another minute or two beyond that for a CVS/Pharmacy so some of the creature-comforts were close at hand.We would definitely come back to this condo, hopefully venturing out more to take advantage of the fishing and exploring more of the restaurants and area entertainment.

A Week in Paradise!

Wonderful, well-maintained, clean home in paradise! Roger and Linda communicated before, during and after our stay to make sure everything was perfect. Morning coffee on the porch, lunch by the pool, and several delicious restaurants for dinner, nearby. Our teens had plenty to do from swimming, to fishing in the boat basin, and fishing charters out of Key Largo. A day trip to Key West is also very manageable. We loved the daily manatee visits to the boat docks on the property. A safe, quiet gated community that really is a place we hope to visit again very soon!

We rented bikes and had great areas to ride in. This was a very quiet, relaxing vacation. Lots of waterside restaurants to enjoy. The owner, Roger, was a great communicator.

Another great time at Anglers Reef

We've visited Angler's Reef many times over the years and haven't been let down yet. First time in Linda's & Roger's home. It is a very nice home; furnishings nice, appliances all work, home was just as described. Owners were easy to communicate with; converted twins to King and arranged dock access for us in advance. I'd highly recommend to anyone.

The Cottage was in a great location and had everything we needed for our stay. From the initial questions we had to our last day there, the owners were prompt and on top of everything. The cottage itself is beautiful and warmly decorated. We stayed the week before Thanksgiving but the owners had a some Christmas decorations up which made us feel at home. We will definatley stay at the cottage again.
