OCEANSIDE ANGLERS REEF HOME- Gated Community with Pool, Dock, Private Beach

"Windley Cottage" is a welcoming, tastefully-decorated home located at mile marker 85. It's away from the highway, and just steps from the pool and docks. The “Bahamian conch style" home provides irresistible charm and comfort tucked in among lush landscaping. Angler's Reef is centrally located, perfect for exploring all of the Florida Keys!
Whether you’re looking for a couples’ retreat or an exciting Keys experience with the family, this home is the answer! Flexible bed arrangements. Call 239-250-4135 for more information. I
We have amenities for all ages! Enjoy a swim in our temperature-controlled pool. Paddle out to the sandbar on our complimentary paddle boards or kayaks. Cycle to the many gift shops and restaurants. Scuba or snorkel the nearby coral reefs and shipwrecks, rich with underwater wonders. Dive near the popular Alligator Reef Lighthouse, which is visible and easily accessible from Angler's Reef. For a fee, dock your boat in our protected lagoon with direct, deep-channel access on the Atlantic. Nearby marinas offer boat/jet ski rentals, fishing/scuba/snorkeling charters, and party boats for fun on the water. Whether you fish from shore or our docks, flats-fish in the back bays, or deep-water fish for big game, Islamorada has it all! Swim with the dolphins and learn about the local marine life at Theater of the Sea (1/2 mile from our home). Dine at one of the fabulous nearby restaurants, many offering nightly entertainment.

Just 2 miles north is Islamorada Founders Park at MM 87 Bayside. The park offers a shallow water beach, ball fields, playground, fishing jetty, driving cage, 3 paddle ball courts, bocce, tennis, a large playground, basketball courts, an exercise course with 18 stations, and a multi-purpose path within the 40-acre park.

Other municipal parks include the Islamorada Library Beach and Anne’s Beach. The Windley Key State Geological Site, a state park, is a former coral rock quarry, where fossils of sea creatures can be seen throughout the park.

After a busy day, enjoy a glass of wine on one of our two private beaches. Play a board game on the back porch. Dim the pendant lights in the great room and turn on the fireplace as you cuddle up to watch your favorite movie after a busy day.

Just pack a few clothes and your toothbrush and head down to the Florida Keys for the vacation of a lifetime in the comfort and luxury of Windley Cottage! See why people from all over the world get sand in their toes and return here again and again!

Contactless check-in and check-out is on Saturdays. Please contact us if you want a different day. Our calendar is updated in real-time and posted rates are accurate.

The location was perfect. The house was in perfect shape and well maintained. Just a short 30 second walk to the pool looking out over the Atlantic. Another 30 second walk to the private beach. Numerous wonderful restaurants on the water within a 10 minute drive. It was a 10 out of 10.

The home was absolutely beautiful. We loved our stay. The kitchen was fully stocked, the rooms were beautiful, the location was perfect, the hosts were welcoming and so easy to work with. The only downside was the listing says oceanfront, so I thought the home was on the ocean. It isn’t, it is in an oceanfront community, but the home sits one or two rows off the ocean, with no ocean view.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 house we stayed in was immaculate and so attractive-exactly as pictured. We felt very safe in the gated community. We used the kayaks and pool and walked the area frequently.

Beautiful Islamorada Cottage

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.
