Barnacle Resort Florida Keys

A Tranquil Paradise at Barnacle Resort B&B - The Perfect Father-Daughter Getaway My recent stay at the Barnacle Resort in Big Pine Key with my 14-year-old daughter was nothing short of idyllic. We were looking for a special place for a father-daughter trip, and Barnacle exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the sheer loveliness of the property. It's a truly special place that offers a peaceful escape and provided the perfect backdrop for quality time together. One of the highlights for us was the opportunity to explore the fascinating tide pools right on the resort grounds. It was such a unique and enjoyable experience to discover the marine life at low tide – something we both loved doing together. The resort also exuded a wonderful sense of tranquility. It was the perfect setting to unwind and reconnect. Our room was a delight – incredibly spacious, impeccably clean, and boasting both amazing views and an absolutely fantastic shower! It was clear that attention to detail was a priority, and we both felt completely comfortable and at home. The extra space was particularly appreciated. Perhaps the most magical part of our stay was the frequent sighting of the endangered Key Deer right on the property. It was such a privilege to witness these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat, and it was a truly memorable experience we shared. This trip to the Barnacle Resort was a fantastic bonding experience for my daughter and me. If you're looking for a quiet, beautiful resort in the Florida Keys with unique natural features and comfortable accommodations, and especially if you're planning a special trip with a child, I wholeheartedly recommend the Barnacle Resort. It's a gem of a place that we can't wait to visit again.

This is an absolutely gem of a place to stay!! The location is perfect and our room was huge and stunning. It feels very quiet and peaceful, barely anyone around which makes for a very quiet stay. However, we ran out of a few amenities during our stay (toilet paper and shampoo) and they never were replaced. The communication to service staff was limited, which made it difficult for us to let the staff know what we needed. The breakfast is very light (yogurt, bagels, some ham and cheese slices, mini croissants, cereal and coffee/juice). More like a continental breakfast than a Bed & Breakfast. 10/10 would recommend!

The decor was great! The walk-in shower was huge! The waterfall shower head was fantastic! I could imagine myself in a tropical location. The bed was so comfortable. I can't to stay here again sometime!

We had an absolutely unforgettable 2-nights stay in here, where we enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the beautifully calm environment. The room (Ocean View) was very spacious, comfortable bed, very spacious bathroom with rain shower, gorgeous ocean-view, lovely beach where the accommodation offers complimentary kayaks or boat, great sunsets, and deers walking up to us 'begging' to be petted.||Gorgeous experience, not far from Key West (half hour drive) and we're looking forward to returning soonest.

Was such a lovey place to stay, beautiful beach and away from the regular tourist spots. They were very accommodating and it was easy to check in/out. I will be recommending this location to friends trying to get away in the Keys.

I had booked this place for my honeymoon through capital one travel. I drove from Fort Lauderdale to here. I got to the location and found out the owner is NOT ON SITE…. I had never gotten a code or anything to get into my room. I tried calling the owner for 2 hours and never got a response. I then called capital one travel and after waiting another hour while they desperately tried to get connected to the owner, capital one offered to move us to another location. Then at around 9 o clock the next morning while eating breakfast we got a rude call from the owner… It seems that when booking through capital one travel they use either Expedia or hopper to ensure good rates, so the owner had a message sent to me through Expedia. The issue is I don’t have an Expedia account and what could have been a simple misunderstanding turned into a much bigger ordeal because the owner of the property does not answer the phone and when she does finally call you back she is very rude. I cannot recommend going somewhere else more.

We had three very enjoyable days and nights at the Barnacle. The house is on a little private beach in a quiet neighborhood. We road bikes down the dead end road and used the kyaks that are available for guests, there is also snorkel gear to borrow. The on-site staff person is very sweet and works hard to make the place welcoming and tidy. She sets up a continental breakfast buffet every day. The bed and linens were very good quality, the room faced the ocean and had a great view. The property is being improved and there are some little things that still need to be replaced, but overall it is lovely and comfortable. We enjoyed meetong the other guests that were there at the same time and rxchanging tips for what to do and where to eat in the area.

this was one of my favorite places i’ve stayed at. beautiful views, nice and quiet. my fiancé and i wish we could’ve stayed longer but for the night we stayed we got to see three key deer and the most beautiful sunset and sunrise. definitely recommend!
