Fodor's Expert Review Grassy Flats

58182 Overseas Hwy., Grassy Key, Florida, 33050, USA Fodor's Choice

Owned by retired professional kiteboarder Matt Sexton, this relaxed, eco-friendly resort and beach club is popular with water-sports enthusiasts, who make regular visits to its sibling property, The Lagoon, for wakeboarding sessions. Ideal for families, the Conch House has two- and three-bedroom suites with private verandas and full kitchens. An adults-only section of the property has its own pool area and the Humidor House, where oceanfront accommodations include rooms and king suites with four-poster mahogany beds and private balconies. Suites in the Wrecker’s House have claw-foot tubs and private wraparound balconies. The resort's sustainability initiatives include using plant-based detergents, not using pesticides and herbicides in on-site gardens, and both in-house recycling and seaweed-composting programs.
