CABANA 5 — KEY LARGO WATERFRONT GETAWAY FOR BOATING, FISHING & FLORIDA KEYS ADVENTURES
Welcome to Cabana 5 at Waterfront Cabanas, where your Florida Keys adventure begins just steps from the water. This bright canal-front vacation rental combines the relaxed atmosphere of Key Largo with a convenient location for boating, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, and exploring the Upper Florida Keys.
Wake up beside the canal, make coffee in your full kitchen, and step outside into the tropical morning air. Watch boats head out for the day, look for fish along the seawall, and start planning your own adventure.
After a day on the reef, offshore fishing, cruising the Keys, or exploring John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, return to Cabana 5, cool down in the A/C, and settle into an Adirondack chair beside the water.
This is Key Largo the way it should feel — easy, tropical, and connected to the water.
COMFORTABLE WATERFRONT LIVING FOR UP TO 4 GUESTS
Cabana 5 comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests with a queen bed and two twin beds that double as sofas during the day.
The studio-style layout gives you the essentials for a comfortable Florida Keys vacation while keeping you close to the outdoor lifestyle that brings so many visitors to Key Largo.
Cabana 5 includes:
• Queen bed • Two twin beds that double as daytime sofas • Sleeps up to 4 guests • Fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances • Modern bathroom with walk-in shower • High-speed Wi-Fi • Smart TV • Ice-cold air conditioning • Assigned onsite parking included • Waterfront outdoor seating • Canal-front location • Direct boating access toward the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay
A KEY LARGO VACATION BUILT AROUND THE WATER
The water isn’t something you have to drive somewhere to see.
It’s right here.
Step outside Cabana 5 and the canal is only a few steps away. Bring your morning coffee outside, watch the boats, enjoy the breeze, and look beneath the surface to see what may be swimming by.
Tropical fish are regular visitors around the seawall, and guests may also spot manatees, nurse sharks, birds, and other Florida Keys wildlife.
Nature doesn’t follow a schedule, which makes these unexpected sightings even more memorable.
BOATING IN THE FLORIDA KEYS
For guests who love being on the water, Cabana 5 makes an excellent Key Largo home base.
Waterfront Cabanas offers direct boating access toward both the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay, putting some of the Upper Keys’ beautiful waters within easy reach.
Explore areas around Rodriguez Key, Mosquito Bank, reefs, fishing grounds, and local shipwrecks, or simply spend the day cruising and enjoying the Florida Keys from the water.
For guests traveling with a boat, dock space may be available by reservation for an additional fee and is subject to availability. Dockage is not automatically included with your Cabana 5 reservation. Dock arrangements and availability can be coordinated after booking.
FISHING DAYS START EARLY IN KEY LARGO
If fishing is the reason you’re coming to the Florida Keys, you’ve chosen the right destination.
Key Largo offers access to a wide variety of fishing experiences, from reefs and offshore waters to Florida Bay and the surrounding backcountry.
Book a local fishing charter or head out on your own boat when appropriate arrangements have been made. Depending on the season and conditions, the waters surrounding the Florida Keys offer opportunities to pursue many different species.
After a day on the water, return to Cabana 5, take a refreshing shower, enjoy the cold A/C, and relax beside the canal while tomorrow’s fishing plans begin to take shape.
YOUR OWN FULL KITCHEN
Cabana 5 includes a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances — especially convenient when your day starts early.
Make breakfast before heading out fishing, prepare sandwiches for the boat, keep drinks and snacks cold, or bring home fresh local seafood for an easy dinner.
Having a full kitchen gives you flexibility throughout your stay and makes Cabana 5 comfortable for longer Key Largo vacations as well as quick getaways.
And when you’d rather leave the cooking to someone else, you’ll find plenty of excellent restaurants nearby.
SNORKEL & DIVE THE WATERS OF KEY LARGO
Key Largo is known for its extraordinary underwater world.
Cabana 5 is just minutes from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, a favorite destination for visitors interested in snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, coral reefs, tropical marine life, and glass-bottom boat excursions.
Local snorkel and dive operators offer trips to nearby reefs and shipwrecks for different experience levels.
Spend the morning beneath the surface surrounded by tropical fish and coral, then return to your canal-front cabana for a relaxing afternoon.
For divers and snorkelers, staying in Key Largo means another underwater adventure is never far away.
KAYAK, CRUISE OR EXPLORE THE UPPER KEYS
You don’t have to be an offshore angler or scuba diver to enjoy the water.
Rent a kayak and explore mangrove areas. Join a sightseeing cruise. Take a snorkel trip. Spend the afternoon on a boat or simply drive through the Upper Florida Keys and stop wherever something catches your eye.
Key Largo allows you to create a different kind of vacation every day.
One morning can start before sunrise for fishing.
The next can begin slowly with coffee beside the canal.
That’s part of the charm.
FRESH SEAFOOD & KEY LARGO DINING
After a day on the water, Key Largo offers plenty of places to eat, relax, and enjoy the casual Florida Keys atmosphere.
Cabana 5 is conveniently located near popular restaurants including The Fish House, Sundowners, Key Largo Fisheries, Snook’s Bayside, Hobo’s Cafe, and Skipper’s Dockside.
Enjoy fresh fish and seafood, casual Keys favorites, tropical flavors, and Key lime pie.
Have dinner out one evening and use your own kitchen the next. Pick up fresh seafood or something prepared locally and bring it back to your cabana for an easy meal.
EXPLORE JOHN PENNEKAMP & KEY LARGO
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is one of the area’s signature attractions, but it’s only the beginning.
Enjoy a ride aboard the historic African Queen, experience a dolphin encounter, book a fishing charter, join a snorkeling or scuba diving trip, rent a kayak, or take a scenic drive farther into the Florida Keys.
You can spend your vacation chasing adventure from morning until evening.
Or you can decide that today’s biggest activity will be sitting beside the canal.
Both are perfectly acceptable in Key Largo.
COME BACK & SLOW DOWN
Cabana 5 may be a great starting point for adventure, but coming home is part of the experience too.
After a day of Florida sunshine and saltwater, take a refreshing shower, turn up the A/C, and relax.
Then step outside again.
Choose an Adirondack chair beside the waterfront. Bring something cold to drink. Watch the boats return and see what might be swimming along the seawall.
As evening arrives, the pace changes.
The canal becomes quieter, the tropical heat begins to ease, and there’s no reason to rush anywhere.
That’s when Waterfront Cabanas feels especially good.
GREAT FOR COUPLES, FAMILIES & FRIENDS
Cabana 5 works beautifully for different kinds of Key Largo vacations.
Couples can enjoy a waterfront getaway with opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
Small families have sleeping space for up to four guests plus the convenience of a full kitchen.
Friends can make Cabana 5 their base for fishing, boating, snorkeling, or scuba diving.
