Kawama villa's are located in a quiet area; with a lagoon, 2 pools, ocean/beach. We used bikes and kayaks, and enjoyed some "seniors" activities, too.. Sunsets were beautiful.
Easy to get to everything. Wonderful unit. Well stocked, clean & comfortable. Bedrooms both upstairs so be prepared for that. Made it difficult with bad knee but bathroom on each floor made it work.
Clean, great location. Loved the screened in porch with a view of the Lagoon. Enjoyed the pool and other outdoor spaces. The house was well equipped.Several good restaurants near by. My favorite was Snooks. I ordered grilled Mahi Mahi, excellent. Great for hanging out to each the sun set and listen to music.Nice place to stay.
We stayed a week in the wonderful resort at Kawama. The lagoon was right in front of our unit. There were beautiful tropical fish in the lagoon as well as tarpons and lobster! The 2 pools were heated and delightful to swim in. We love walking out to the end of the jetty each evening to watch the sunset. It was a fantastic place to spend a week and soak up the sun.
Property owner was exceptional to deal with and the property was very clean and cozy! The home had all the comforts of home. Enjoyed the pool, lagoon and my husband loved fishing off the jetty !!
Our stay was pleasant. The unit had everything you need when away from home. The furnishings and beds are very comfortable. The unit is located across from a beautiful lagoon filled with a variety of fish. The pool is large and adjacent to a tiki hut for gathering. I highly recommend this unit. The owner is responsive to questions as well.

Fantastic place in a quiet yacht club with a lagoon just outside the back porch for swimming, snorkelling, and kayaking. Accommodation was great and worked very well for us (2 adults, 3 children). Would absolutely stay there again. Highly recommended!
Incredibly relaxing 8 night stay. Ideal location in Key Largo and in Kawama. Very clean and homey Condo right next to the Lagoon (very cool history) and close to the pool. Everything on hand to stay right where we were, or easy access to go out and about. Some tropical storm activity got in the way of diving, but didn’t impact our enjoyment of the property. Charming beach eclectic decor, bringing me back to my childhood summers at a beach cottage in ME.
This place had it all!!
Easy access to the lagoon, pools, and a short walk or bike ride to the beach and jetty.
Our family loved fishing and watching the sunrise/set at the jetty.
The place was clean and enough space for our family of four.
Would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at this property! The host was extremely responsive and went out of his way to ensure we had a good experience. We went on a couple of day tours (snorkeling, fishing, etc.) while we were in town, but the best part of our vacation was coming back to this amazing spot to relax! We will be back, hopefully sooner than later! Our family loved this destination location!
We enjoyed our 5 days very much, there is so much to do and experience. Our host Daniel was very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend this property!
This was a very nice unit right in the heart of the resort. A perfect spot. Right on the lagoon and close to the pool. Brand new , high end appliances. A great week for sure,
This condo was the perfect place to stay for the 4 of us. The lagoon is literally steps away from the front door and has lots of awesome fish to watch and feed. Tons of things to do around the area and everything is clean and neat. Will deff be back.

Why they chose this property
Kawama Yacht Club is a very unique location in the Florida Keys... we are one of the few places where short-term stays are permitted. We are located in a gated, guarded complex that is situated right on the Atlantic ocean. The townhomes are nestled between our private, filtered, saltwater lagoon and an annex of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park - so you are basically staying in a waterfront park! There is a marina for boaters, slip rentals are separate and can be arranged through the Harbormaster. There is a boat ramp as well. You may swim in either pool or snorkel in the filtered saltwater tidal lagoon - it goes down to 40 feet and was once used to train Navy Seals prior to the Bay of Pigs invasion in the early 1960's. It is a unique feature of Kawama.
What makes this property unique
Snorkeling in a private lagoon; Our 'point' is the only place on the east coast of the United States - besides Mallory Square in Key West - where you may watch the sun rise and set over the water.
