Cheeca Lodge

If you’re seeking to purchase a vacation home that doubles as investment property in a world-class U.S. tropical destination, it's hard to find better a better private residence club than the award-winning Cheeca Lodge & Spa, one of the best Florida Keys resorts. Their 525-foot-long private pier is the longest one in the Florida Keys, but there are also back country & offshore fishing opportunities here, including family fishing charters & tours. Located in Islamorada, this is the "Sport Fishing Capital of the World". The 27 acre resort offers other fun and educational activities include bicycling, eco-tours & environmental boat trips, parasailing, private and sunset cruises, sea kayaking, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling and windsurfing. The full service spa provides soothing body scrubs & therapies including Cheeca's signature treatments as well as facials & skincare, massages, wellness classes, and an assortment of predefined spa packages.

We find the Cheeca Lodge to be one of the best Florida Keys fishing resorts and we're not alone. The original lodge at the resort has been a favorite of numerous celebrities for over a half century now. Well-known past visitors include golf greats Jack Nicklaus & Jack Parr, actors Joanne Woodward & Paul Newman, and baseball star Ted Williams. Former president George H. W. Bush helped co-found the George Bush Cheeca Lodge Bonefish Tournament over a decade ago in 1994. Since then this annual event has raised thousands of dollars for multiple charities. The entire property and its surrounding grounds have been magnificently restored to their original splendor for your benefit, including the completely rebuilt main lodge, which has a stunningly beautiful open-air lobby. We wouldn't be surprised to discover some of have bought Florida Keys vacation homes here.
