We can't say enough good things about this place. Great location, beautiful sunsets, great swimming area and can occasionally get visited by manatees. Nice dockage for your boat. Great grilling area and pavilion. We had a wonderful wedding here at sunset for some friends of ours. They have some the hardest working staff I've ever seen. And Chris, the host will bend over backwards to help you. We've camped up and down the Keys for years and this is our favorite place. Been coming here now for 3 years in our RV. We love this place!

Love this place. Affordable, clean, pet friendly, full kitchen. Awesome Pavilion, water entry area included kayaks. Quieter side of key largo but situated to get down to tavanier and islamorada easily or back up to key largo proper easily.

My husband and I were unable to stay with Sun Outdoors because of the sudden death of my father over the Labor Day weekend. They gave me a full refund. We look forward to staying with them in the near future to enjoy their accommodations. Thank you Kim Smith

My husband and I loved staying in our tiny home. Perfect distance to the water where there were kayaks, a grill, tons of seating and fans. We got to see a manatee as well!!

10/10 experience. My first time in the keys so wasn’t sure what to expect, the personal little beach out back was amazing and they had some floaties/kayaks available for use. My boyfriend and I wish we stayed longer. It was a great location, very peaceful and quaint vibe. Might have to make this spot a yearly getaway!
