I can highly recommend WHITE GATE COURT in Islamorada. We took Kimber last week and we had a great time. The weather was superb (82 and sunny), which always helps, but the resort was perfect for pet owners. It has 7 cottages, each with an efficiency kitchen, living area, and bed. The couch comes pre-covered with a blanket because they expect your dog to be on it.
Funny story: There was a coffee table in front of the couch. We came into the cottage with our first armload of stuff, Kimber following us. Dumped stuff, turned to leave, Kimber turned too- and her tail swept everything off the coffee table. Classic lab!
Each cottage had a front porch, perfect for sitting on while sipping margaritas, so Kimber was able to do her favorite thing: sit outside with us and keep an eye on things.
There is a man-made beach with easy access to clean, warm, calm water. Kimber had no trouble navigating the steps into the water.
The dock area includes benches so you can just hang out over the water. We learned to keep a cautious hand on the leash at all times because Kimber thought the water looked veeerry interesting.
The grounds were large enough for Kimber to play fetch and go potty in appropriate privacy.
Best of all, we went the week before high season and had the ENTIRE PLACE TO OURSELVES! It was just us, the office manager, and the owners!

Sounds like a great place!
A bit off topic, it almost looks like Kimber's nails are painted in the tired puppy pic! It made me think of the days my DD would sit and paint my Ozzy's nails. He would patiently hold one foot up at a time for her. It was the sweetest thing!

It looks beautiful! I'd love to have the 82 degree and sunny weather right now instead of low 40s and cloudy.
Btw, gotta love that table clearing tail!
