About this property

Paradise Found - Three Story Beach House w/ private beach, dock and Ocean Views

3 story bayside home with its own beach. Great location. Private residential area, yet close to Everything. Due to unique location, one of only a hand full of homes on the island with views of both the Bay and the Ocean. Three (3) good sized bedrooms and 3 baths. Each bedroom has its own distinct views. The practical - high speed internet, seperate work and entertainment areas, smart-tv’s, water and elec by the dock, plenty of parking for vehicles and trailers.

Specifics: Downstairs - Large Beach - with plenty of room for volleyball or paddle ball. Covered Beachside bar and dining area, large hot tub, private outdoor shower, BBQ area, and pool table. 120 foot dock that extends out into the Bay. Great for fishing and with dockage for up to a 28 ft boat.

Second Floor - Living Room, Dining Room, and 2 bedrooms - each with large covered balconies - one facing the Bay and the other the Ocean.

Third Floor - Large bedroom with bath and desk - with balcony facing the Ocean and very large terrace facing the Bay. Fantastic for soaking in the rays, sunset cocktails with friends, or star gazing at night.

This is a special place in a great location. Kayaking, Paddle Boarding, Snorkeling, and Fishing right from the property. Great bone fishing across the street. Very popular beach and sand bar around the corner and easily accessible by kayak or boat. Boat, Jet Ski and Bike rentals very close by.

The best thing about the keys and this place is that you can do all that stuff I mentioned, and with great restaurants, bars, etc , all very close by. Or, you can just lay in the hammock by the beach, take another sip of that margarita, listen to some tunes and ask yourself... do I really ever want to leave this place.

Disclosure - For the safety and security of our guests, the property does have security cameras outside. However, the cameras are only located in openly public areas (so, no balconies, terraces, hot tub, or tanning areas). If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Great beach home

Very nice and clean. Kitchen was stocked with basics. Only surprise was the steep narrow spiral staircase to access the upper bedroom, it was not mentioned or shown in the listing. Overall nice hime, great location, and the host was quick to respond.

Great location and dock if you are bringing a boat. Some road noise when you are outside. Owner fixed an AC issue promptly and was very communicative. Bedroom linens were not the best. Overall it met our expectations.

Wonderful month with friends

We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean, well appointed and comfortable. Everett was a responsive and helpful host. He provided great information about Islamorada, gave suggestions for things to enjoy. When we arrived he gave a very thorough introduction to the property which we appreciated. Loved the beach and dock and the views were breathtaking. All in all, a wonderful month at a piece of paradise!

Paradise Found in Paradise

The house is in a beautiful location between the ocean and bay, so you could see sunrises and sunsets (time of year depending) every day. The bay side of the house allows for peace and reflection by just staring at the water or reading a book. Everett was the most patient and attentive host ever, even after 2 Main water main breaks on A1A (which no one can predict!) This was truly a special place!

Down time

Great visit. Very clean house. Spacious. Everything works. Convenient. The highlight is the life off the dock. Nesting Osprey. Sea turtles. Manatee. Nurse sharks. And manatee. We really enjoyed it. I’d go back.

Nice but not that private

The property is nice and the owner is available for questions. However, there are 3 outdoor cameras on the ground level front, back, and middle that can capture every move outside of the house and another at the front door that sees every time you leave or return. The front door was the only way in or out unless you drop down from a balcony. These were not mentioned in the house descriptions and were a little disconcerting. The home is attached to another home - neighbors are quiet and seemed nice but we tried to not make any sounds outside so as not to disturb them. Other smaller things - There are no Smart TV's. There are only 6 large dishes for eating - not a huge deal for us, we just washed in the sink after every meal at home. The kitchen overall is sufficient, but minimally stocked for pots, pans, and cabinet space. There is no stereo, but there is a wireless speaker. On a very positive note, the home is close to everything. The dock and water frontage view in the back is all it should be. As expected, there is a road noise from Overseas Hwy on the front, but still a great view. Beds are comfortable, rooms are comfortable. You get to the top bedroom via a spiral staircase. It takes some agility to get the suitcases up there, but it is manageable unless you have some physical issue that makes tight steps tough. Overall a nice place but the cameras really put a damper on our experience.

The house is perfect and the location matches. Smartly decorated with island and family vibe. Backyard bar and beach are all you can ask for in a keys house. The views are unbelievable, 3rd floor master has an ocean balcony and a bayside balcony both with plenty of seating. The only downside is it will be hard to stay anywhere else.

Tucked Away Central to Everything

This was the best location for us because we were central to everything we could want to do but, when we wanted, we could lay low like at home. The neighbors are very nice. The cove is full of amazing wildlife and the back porch on the second floor is a perfect relaxation spot any time of day. There a long road/sidewalk on the ocean side for running, walking, and biking. My kids 12,9,7 enjoyed playing in the sand, discovering all the living creatures in the cove, playing pool, and playing with the board games from the closet. The home’s position between the two bodies of water allow for a lovely breeze to blow through.

Bright Sunny House in a Great Spot on the Water

We spent a very enjoyable couple of weeks here! It's pretty neat to see the ocean out front and the gulf out back. We rented a boat, so it was wonderful to have the dock to use. And every room in the house was lovely and bright and sunny. We especially liked the loft.

Beautiful house on the water

We had a lovely time and celebrated the Christmas holiday with our family. The house was perfect for our number of people and the terraces overlooking the water added a lot of charm and extra room for dining and just relaxing. The house is beautiful inside with great outdoor living spaces. It is just off Overseas Highway.

2nd time renting this wonderful property it was as breath taking walking into this beautiful home with the views as the 1st time Everett is very helpful from suggesting a restaurant "Square Grouper " to giving us a heads up phone call on a approaching tropical storm Fred to make sure I was pulling my boat out of the water before it was to bad to do it The pictures do not give this property justice !!

Terrific House in the Keys

This is a lovely home on Lower Matecumbe that is well maintained by its owners. Plenty of room to have some personal space or to gather together for some fun. Well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, quiet and serene. It's particularly awesome to have the beach and dock for shelling and watching fish and other wildlife. Everett is an attentive host and knows the area well. He had several recommendations for places to eat, kayak rentals, and activities for children. Super communicative and was always just a text away. I highly recommend this special property!

No pressure in paradise!

Every time we had a challenge Evert was on top of it , I wish he would have stopped by, I would loved to have drinks with him. The next door neighbors were great, they turned us on to a restaurant that he played music at ( Tuna’s ) food was great and it was only couple miles down the road. The view from the house was fantastic bayside and ocean side. We saw manatee, turtles, sharks and dolphin all in bayside from the dock. Great family time for 3 weeks. If you’re looking for a place book it quick, you can’t go wrong. MH

Great Property

House is modern and clean, with lots of different spaces to hang out - between multiple floors and balconies, and private beach and dock. Great to have view of both bay and ocean. Decks on both sides is also a bonus, as depending on which way the wind blows it's nice on one side or the other. The only drawback having such close access to both ocean and bay side is that you're so close to the road, the traffic noise is constant. Loved having a beach and dock. We rented kayaks that were delivered and picked up - super easy to hop in a kayak in the bay. Owner is very communicative and friendly.

Fantastic 2 weeks away from MN cold. Able to work and kids kept up with school while enjoying the ocean views and bayside beach. House was exactly as described and photographed. The tidiest, least cluttered place we’ve ever enjoyed on Vrbo. Couldn’t ask for more!
