The Moorings Village, Islamorada, Florida

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 1,100 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 it’s the Bonefish or Tarpon you’re after, the back country or Gulf is for you, whereas if you’re 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.
