Sunsets in the Florida Keys are hard to beat! #floridakeys #bahiahonda
The view from the bridge at Bahia Honda is unreal. The colors of the water are so beautiful and the #blue can vary so much! We love this park more than most we have ever visited!
A slice of paradise
Old versus the new. The Seven mile bridge between Marathon and Key West is beautiful as you journey through the keys. On the water, you get a great view looking up. Old on the left.

Hosts were very communicative with check in as we arrived later than the office hours. The house boat is simple - nothing fancy. We did have a few ants. But otherwise, all was ok.

The RV was not like the pictures. It was very old and run down. The walls are so thin at night it sounded and felt like it was going to tip over in the wind. Never again. No one slept good. The beds were very uncomfortable the couch bed was too short. Not for us.
