About this property

Brand new 50’x16’ Floating Cottage-Waterfront Luxury-walk to restaurants and fun

Welcome aboard Blue BAYou, a brand-new floating luxury cottage in the heart of the Florida Keys. This beautifully designed 3-bedroom, 2 bath waterfront retreat offers the perfect mix of comfort, style, and island adventure.
Thoughtfully designed with modern costal finishes, state-of-the-art appliances, and comfortable furnishings throughout, the space is designed for families, couples, fishing groups or friends traveling together.
Enjoy a spacious open living area, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, stylish bathrooms, and outdoor seating to relax and soak in the marina atmosphere.
Located at Mile Marker 90 next to Tavernier Creek, guests enjoy easy access to both ocean and Bayside, nearby boating/water activities, shopping center, and multiple restaurants within walking distance
Whether you're here to relax, explore, fish, snorkel, dive, kayak, paddleboard or simply enjoy the Florida Keys lifestyle,
Blue BAYou offers a truly unique waterfront stay.

Want to explore the keys by water? Guests with smaller boats may be able to tie up directly to the cottage, a great way to travel through the keys. Contact us before booking for details and size requirements.

Mostly, after a fun-filled day exploring the Keys, unwind with a cocktail on the deck, watch the marine life come and go, enjoy warm ocean breezes, and relax beneath the stars. Fall asleep to the gentle movement of the water and wake refreshed for another day in paradise.

Why did we pick this Neighborhood?

Location matters in the Florida Keys-and I believe this spot offers a lot of the best of everything.
Our marina is tucked away at Mile Marker 90, behind the iconic Old Tavernier Restaurant, in a protected marina setting that feels peaceful, safe and uniquely "Keys"
Being right at Tavernier Creek gives you incredible easy access to both the ocean side and bayside, making it a perfect home base for boating, fishing, snorkeling, diving, kayaking, sand bars or simply exploring the beautiful water.
One of my favorite things about this location is convenience. You're within walking distance to several restaurants, local bars, and a shopping center, making it easy to grab dinner, drinks, groceries, or essentials without spending your time in the car.

We're also perfectly positioned in the upper keys- right at the northern end of Islamorada. Heading south or back north from Key West? We are the perfect place to unwind, recharge and enjoy a peaceful waterfront stay before heading to Key West or continuing your trip home. Think of us as your relaxing "welcome to the keys" or "one last slice of paradise" stop.
During busy season, traffic through the middle and southern parts of Islamorada can back up for miles once the highway narrows to two lanes at Mile Marker 89. Staying here means you can enjoy everything the Keys have to offer while avoiding much of that congestion and getting back to relax faster.
For me, it's the perfect mix of peaceful waterfront living, convenience and easy adventure.
