Unique Benefits

Packed Sand Beach - Only a few condo's in the Keys have a beach. (About half of the year Seaweed and trash that humans discard in the ocean, collect in the cove of the beach. We are working to get a permit for a barrier to keep it out.)

Kawama also has a Lagoon and a Jetty.

We have access to 2 pools, Tennis Courts, Playground and Marina for launching boat or boat slips available for an additional fee through Marina Management - I will check dates with Management but I cannot book it for you. You will be provided with management's number once your rental has been paid.

This Condo is located in the Tower which has an elevator and has a spacious single floor layout (many condos are typically narrow floor plan and/or have steep stairs.)
