Superior Small Lodging Award Winner with a Quarter-Mile Private Beach in the Florida Keys
Private Beach & Waterfront
Lime Tree Bay Resort is a boutique waterfront property situated on a quarter-mile stretch of private beach on Long Key, between Islamorada and Marathon. The sandy sunning beach has tiki huts, hammocks, and loungers spread across the property for guest use. The beach area includes a fishing dock, and boat owners can dock vessels up to 21 feet at no extra cost.
Complimentary Recreation & Water Sports
The resort includes sea kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles in the room rate, with life vests and helmets provided. A tennis court, billiards, table tennis, and a large chessboard are available on the grounds. Yoga classes are offered on select days, and guests have free access to two heated swimming pools, one with a view of the bay.
On-Site Dining
The Florida Boy Bar and Grill is located on the resort grounds and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily to guests, featuring pastries, fruit, yogurt, and coffee. The restaurant menu includes conch fritters, tropical mahi bites, and other Florida Keys specialties.
Rooms & Accommodations
The resort offers multiple freshly renovated room types, including Waterfront Standard Rooms, Premium Waterfront Rooms with kitchenettes, and Canal View Studios. Larger groups can book the Zane Gray Townhome, a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom unit with canal views, or the Bougainvillea Suite on the main property. All rooms include flat-screen cable TVs, microwaves, refrigerators, and private bathrooms.
Location & Nearby Attractions
Lime Tree Bay Resort sits in Layton, roughly midway between Key West (90 minutes south) and Miami (90 minutes north). Long Key State Park, the Dolphin Research Center, and Theater of the Sea are all within a short drive of the property.
