Re: Topsider 1 Resort (by Gillian D.):

Lorene: Topsider is a charming, small, quiet, kinda "funky" resort! We have owned a week here for 5 years and we love it. Don't expect 5 star amenities but the place is always clean and the owner/managers are a young couple who are very helpful and amenable. Many people have owned here since the resort was built in the 80s and come every year. We were there last year in May and the dock was being rebuilt after the storm. It is now fully operational according to the website. There was no damage to the units and they have been renovating them one by one - there are only 20. The units have 2 beds and 2 baths -bathrooms are small. Queen size bed in one bedroom, 2 twins in the other, double futon in living room. They have a tennis court, a pool, a jacuzzi, bicycles to borrow and a few kayaks, canoes etc. also. There is a tiny private beach (all beaches in the Keys are tiny!). Advice: Don't stay in units 10 or 20 - they are the closest to the highway and can be noisy with the windows open. 1 and 11 are right on the Gulf but are almost never available to rent and are always more expensive. The numbers in between are all ok. Go to www.topsiderresort.com for more info. or feel free to e-mail me. Gillian gillydrizzle@yahoo.com
