The Florida Keys are located off the southern coast of Florida. They are a string of tropical islands stretching about 120 miles south / southwest, forming the southernmost part of the continental United States.

The Calusa Indians inhabited these islands over 6,000 years ago. In the early 1500’s the conquistador, Ponce De Leon sailed these waters and nearly wiped out the tribe. Famous pirates such as Edward Teach better known as Blackbeard and Jimmy Buffett frequented the Islands regularly. Some believe a pirate treasure is buried on one of the over 1700 islands.

In the early 1900’s, the Florida Keys were only accessible by boat. This changed with the completion of the Henry Flagler Overseas Railway in 1912. In 1935, a hurricane destroyed Flagler’s Overseas Railway, and a decision was made to convert the railway into an automobile roadway. U.S. Highway 1, also known as the Overseas Highway, runs from Miami to Key West.

One of our most famous residents, Ernest Hemingway, chose to call the Florida Keys home. He was a renowned author and in 1953 won a Pulitzer Prize for, The Old Man and the Sea. Hemingway was instrumental in putting the keys on the map as he often wrote about his adventures in his writings.

The Florida Keys are commonly referred to as the “Diving Capital of the World.” The expansive Florida reef is the only living coral reef in North America, and the third largest coral reef in the world. The diverse marine life, along with some spectacular shipwrecks, is the reason Key Largo is a world class dive destination. Not to be outdone, the Florida Keys are also world renowned for fishing, due to the number of world records, and the number of different species just off our shores. Many consider the Keys to also be the “Sport fishing Capital of the World.”

The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary protects approximately 2,900 square nautical miles of coastal and ocean waters from the estuarine waters of south Florida to the Dry Tortugas National Park. Within the boundaries of the sanctuary, lie spectacular, unique, and nationally significant marine resources including North America's only coral barrier reef, extensive seagrass beds, mangrove-fringed islands, and more than 6,000 species of marine life. The sanctuary also protects pieces of our nation’s history such as shipwrecks and other archeological treasures. Visitors to the sanctuary are encouraged to take advantage of the many recreational activities this amazing ecosystem has to offer, including world-class diving, swimming, snorkeling, and fishing.

The Mariner's Club is a unique, resort style property that allows its owners to rent their units to guests and extend their club benefits. Of coarse we are biased but we think our oceanfront condo has the best location in the entire community. We are on the first floor, which means you can walk right out the backdoor to one of the best pools in all of the keys. The marina and community center are right out our front door as well as a second pool, grotto and game room.

The Club is perfectly located on the oceanside of the island close to the reefs which provide world renowned snorkeling, diving, and fishing. Just past our 200’ pier, you will find Molasses Reef, recently rated “The most popular dive reef in North America”.
