THE MOORINGS VILLAGE

Hotel Description

-Property description-, situated in the heart of islamorada halfway, between miami and key west the moorings is an, 18-acre property harboring 18 cottages and homes, on what was once a coconut plantation. Ranging, from one to three bedrooms each residence is, self-sufficient with its own well equipped kitchen, television telephone and in most cases a washer, and dryer. A short walk from your doorstep lies, 1100 feet of crystalline white sand- one of the, largest and most beautiful private beaches in the, florida keys. From the beach you can experience, the thrill of wind surfing or the serenity of, kayaking across the aquamarine waters of the, atlantic. While watching these waters you may, catch a glimpse of the elusive gray ghost known as, the bonefish tailing across the flats tempting you, to cast a fly his way. Islamorada known as the, sportfishing capital of the world offers two, distinctly different types of fishing. If its the, bonefish or tarpon you are after the back country, or gulf is for you whereas if you are looking for, sailfish marlin or perhaps dolphin mahi-mahi deep, sea fishing might be more your style. If you, prefer to be in the water rather than on top of it, our area has some of the best diving and, snorkeling in the keys offering everything from, shallow or mid-range reefs to steep wall and, numerous wrecks. If its on-land activities you are, looking for you will find a tennis court and a, 25-meter lap pool nestled among the colorful, bougainvillea and over 700 coconut palms on our, property. Life at the moorings is quiet and, simple. You can do a lot or if you choose nothing, at all. By staying a the moorings we believe you, will get an honest taste of what life is all about, in the laid-back american caribbean islands called, the florida keys. Our beachfront homes could have, had a nicer ocean view like those so prized by, many resorts. However our building philosophy was, to stay under the tree canopy in order to be as, discrete as possible from boating or ocean, approach and to give our guests ample privacy on, the beach. The moorings is the place where the, simplest of things can become of great value. You, can walk swim or just sit on your porch for hours-, watching nature take her course. Peace and quiet, is becoming scarce and we are trying to preserve, it.
