Bud N Mary's Marina Vacation Booked a stay along with fishing excursion for my birthday. Staff great from pre-planning to actual arrival date. Suggested places to eat and other things to do. Lazy Days restaurant next door, highly recommend for dinner. Do an amazing job on catch and cook, everything is fresh and prepped to order. Also, Saylor Ashton's Sunrise Cafe is conveniently located on the premises, great breakfast and lunches prepared for your day out on the boat. The rooms are clean, and have everything needed for a comfortable stay. Close to multiple dining options, and shopping for all of your needs while visiting Islamorada. Highly recommend, will be visiting again in the future. Very relaxing time spent here.
