Away From It All

Welcome to our Gulf Coast island. One hundred acres of tropical vegetation surround our historic restaurant, inn and rental cottages. A panoramic view of Pine Island Sound, near Fort Myers in Bokeelia, is provided from the front porch of our open-air restaurant situated atop a thirty-eight foot Indian shell mound. There are no cars here, not even a paved road. You will find winding nature trails, romantic picturesque views and relaxation.

“Beautiful “Old Florida” Private Island accessible only by private boat”

Reviewed August 10, 2017 by Deborah W

Absolutely LOVE this place! Beautiful views, great drinks, wonderful staff, fabulous food and a terrific little marina. A great escape if you actually like to “unplug” and are able to enjoy what a private island has to offer. Romantic. quiet and gorgeously natural.

…this is not your spot. If your looking for a memorable little burger joint like no other in a location like no other, this is your spot. Never stayed in the cabins but they look great. I’m always tempted to ditch the family for a week of solitude…..Hemingwayesq I guess. Love this place.

Reviewed April 25, 2016 by Omar I

This is was an amazing getaway. Cabbage Key is a quiet (except at lunch time) location in Southwest Florida. This is a peaceful, beautiful and unique place – my next trip will be more than 2 nights. The staff is fantastic, and very accommodating. Already planning our next trip to Cabbage Key

“Total Relaxation!”

Reviewed February 11, 2014 by Kim L of Lansing, Michigan

I found Cabbage Key online and booked two nights. The food, staff and accommodations were amazing! Not stuffy, but laid back where everybody knows your name! Loved every minute of it. Booked a room in the Inn but they upgraded us to the Rinehart Cottage which was fantastic. Clean and everything we needed. Watched the Gopher Tortoises from our screen porch, walked the trails on the island. Wrote the first two chapters of the book I’ve been saying I would write someday! Would go back in a heartbeat.
