Sunrise Haven - Maison 306 - Beach, Pool, Hot Tub, Kayaks, SUPs & Day Dock

COVID-19 Update: Sunrise Haven is professionally cleaned including all linens and towels. The owners or property manager do not do the cleaning and laundry.

Islamorada, Florida, is known as the Sports Fishing Capital of the Florida Keys. The Maison resort property in Islamorada is half way between Key West and mainland Florida. "Sunrise Haven," our Atlantic Ocean beach front condo is located near the heart of Islamorada at Mile Marker 80.6 on the quiet, less traveled, Old Federal Highway, not on the busy US-1 Overseas Highway. Walk to great restaurants, the arts district and marinas in Islamorada. The Maison resort property includes 21 condos, in 4 buildings in a U shape around a very large, 86' x 25', resort style pool and hot tub. Enjoy 350 feet of white sand beach. We provide 2 double kayaks and 2 stand-up paddle boards for our guests private usage. The Overseas Highway, US-1, follows Henry Flagler’s famous railroad to Key West that was destroyed in the deadly Labor Day hurricane of 1935. Miami International Airport is an 85 minute drive. Fort Lauderdale International Airport is a 2 hour drive. From Sunrise Haven a visit to Key West is an easy 80 mile, 90 minute drive. “Downtown Islamorada” is home to a number of great restaurants for casual outside, waterside dining or more upscale seafood, chop or steak dinners. You can walk to the Midway Cafe for an outdoor or indoor breakfast or lunch and the opposite way on the Old Hwy to the famous Green Turtle Inn and Restaurant for all three meals. Fishing charters and scuba diving are close by. Regular weekly rate is $3,500; monthly rate is $11,200; holiday/lobster weekly rate is $4,000.

Whether you are coming to the Keys for a relaxing, restful break from cold weather to lounge around the pool or on the beach, to catch lobster and stone crabs, to go snorkeling or scuba diving, to spend your time fishing the back country for snook, redfish, bonefish and tarpon or to go off shore fishing for dolphin, wahoo, snapper and grouper, Sunrise Haven in Islamorada can be your comfortable home away from home. The panoramic sunrises and moonrises are beautiful from our condo's main balconies, the beach or the pool area. You can also enjoy sunset from our guest bedroom balcony. Our condo is a legal, yearly safety and fire inspected, private rental in Islamorada. Our Islamorada vacation rental license number is 24-0267.

The Maison resort property is an exclusive, private gated resort condominium complex located on the Atlantic Ocean side of Upper Matecumbe Key in Islamorada.

The beach area has a gas fire pit, lounges, umbrellas, Adirondack chairs and hammocks. The pool area includes updated lounges, tables and umbrellas. There is a beachside Summer Kitchen with a Chickee covered eating area and two 30 inch gas BBQs. You can relax in a hammock, a lounge or at an umbrella shaded table and read a book on the beachside terrace. Snorkel or swim from the beach or the ladder on the day dock platform, fish from the day dock or have fun with our 2 kayaks and 2 stand-up-paddle boards for your private use. Only our condo supplies Stand-Up-Paddle Boards for our guest's usage. We also have some fishing equipment in the parking area storage closet for use on the day dock. Since the equipment is used by guests we cannot guarantee how good the equipment has been maintained. Please try to keep saltwater out of the tackle box. If you buy hooks, sinkers, etc. feel free to leave the excess in the tackle box. Please rinse all equipment including the fishing poles and reels with fresh water after fishing.

Vacation in paradise

We absolutely loved Madison 306! The condo was beautiful and well stocked with everything needed for the week. The pool is the nicest we’ve had in the keys and the family also enjoyed catching some fish off the dock. My husband loved getting up early and taking the paddle board out to enjoy the sunrise. The property is perfect for a quiet and relaxing vacation, we will be back again next year!

Beautiful Property

We just returned from our stay and this property is beautiful. Located on the 3rd floor, you have a wonderful view of the pool and ocean. There is ample room and privacy for all the guests with the 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The kitchen has everything you need to cook as well. The balcony off the main living area is large and beautiful to sit on in the morning and evenings. The pool area is a 10. It is a large pool that was a great temp and very clean. The property is located close to a road that you can walk or run on in the AM as well as walk to breakfast/lunch within a 1/2 mile or so. Communication with the property manager was excellent! I would definitely book again and would recommend to anyone thinking about booking this property.

Family vacation including the dog

Nice small beach for the kids, and close to go either direction for restaurants. If I knew the dates we could go next year, I would have paid my deposit while we were there.

This amazing condo sits directly on the ocean and has absolutely gorgeous sunrises! The pool is huge and never felt crowded. Chairs all over the place outside to comfortably sit. Loved the hammock and hot tub too! The condo itself is decorated very nice with cute little touches throughout. It is well stocked with all kinds of spices for cooking your catch of the day! It fits 6 people very comfortably. The mattresses were very high quality and super comfy! Steve and Kathy were on the ball with sending emails ahead of time letting us know all the procedures and giving us direction on things to do while there. Their son Jeff was right there for us if we needed anything at all. I would highly recommend staying here if you want to have a fabulous trip with family or friends!

Great Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The entire process from booking to checking out was wonderful. We enjoyed the pool, watching wildlife from the dock and while kayaking and using the SUP. We had an issue with one kayak and the property manager quickly replaced it - even though we were ok using just one during our stay. The home is well equipped and stocked - anything you could need was there. Only downside was the primary bedroom did not have any type of screen on the lanai door so you could not keep it open while sleeping - and that is the only window/natural airflow option for that room. We would stay again if in the Keys!

Amazing!!!!

Such a fabulous place to stay; the condo was great & the local area was fab. Everything had been thought of to make our stay just perfect: from providing sandwich bags, a drawer of spices, kayaks, SUP’s, pool towels, candles and good quality wine glasses! If we wanted it, it magically seemed to be there. The complex is also kept in the best condition: the pool was a perfect temperature, the fire pit at night was lovely and we made good use of the communal BBQs. One of the paddles for the SUP broke and Steve was there the next morning with a replacement. It really couldn’t have been any better.

Condo was well maintained and equipped with all the necessities. View was amazing.

My wife and I along with our two teenage boys really enjoyed the place. The pool was amazing. Jeff, the owners son was really nice and pleasant to work with. Islamorada was centrally located for us as we spent a day in Miami and another day in Key West. The complex was quiet. Only complaint would be all the sea grass on the beach and in the water. Learned from another owner, who had been coming to the condo for many years, the sea grass was the worst he’d ever seen it. Regardless the sea grass didn’t prevent us from kayaking and paddle boarding.

Wonderful week in a beautifully decorated and very comfortable luxury condo. The owner was very communicative from start to finish. His son met us at check in and check out to acquaint us with the property and answer any questions we may have. The unit was stocked with kitchen spices and many other staples that made using the beautiful kitchen easy. We enjoyed grilling at the outdoor kitchen by the pool and beach areas. We enjoyed using the owner's kayaks. We felt like we were at our own beach property--not a rental. Location, location, location!! There are not many areas in the Keys that are this quiet yet walkable to so many wonderful restaurants ands shops! Maison Residences is off of a side road, not on busy US1 Unit 306 is an ideal location within the property. We enjoyed the covered outdoor porch immensely!

This was a wonderful stat for us. We head to the Keys a couple times a year. Nice pool, jacuzzi was under construction, but the grounds were nice and the rental was great! Everything you need to cook, spices, blender, toaster, coffee pot etc. well supplied. They had plenty of linens and towels. The bedrooms were nice and for once I can say…. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and so were the pillows! After a busy day it was nice to sleep in a comfy bed like home! They also had a crib, high chair and playpen for our 11 month old granddaughter. Makes traveling so much easier. They have kayaks and paddle boards, some fishing gear, but we didn’t use it. We were out in Marathon with our favorite Guide. Todd with Snag & Drag Sportfishing, although I hear there’s plenty of great guides in Islamorada as well!!! Thanks again for the great hospitality!

Everything we needed for a great Keys vacation

We couldn't have asked for a better first-time trip to the Florida Keys. Sunrise Haven is in an ideal location--with quick access to (good!) restaurants, shopping, supplies, and activities, while also feeling secluded and private with its own small beach, a cove for kayaking and paddleboarding (where we saw sharks, lobsters, rays, and an iguana), and a really nice resort-y pool area. This was one of our favorite VRBO stays. We traveled with our older teenagers (17 and 19) and both the condo and complex were perfect. We observed that families staying with small kids also had a great time. It's very family friendly, and I would feel very comfortable staying there without kids, as well. Sunrise Haven itself is beautiful and comfortable. The owners were kind and helpful; it was nice to meet them in person and know that they were close by. The condo features a fully stocked kitchen (including every utensil and small appliance we could've wished for) that made cooking and grilling at home a pleasure, plenty of beach towels, a huge covered lanai, great views, and really comfortable beds! We really enjoyed the standup paddle boards and would have used the kayaks if we'd had more time--it was such a bonus to have them, as well as water shoes and assorted beach items. I look forward to returning. Thank you!

Wonderful week in the Keys

We thoroughly enjoyed our week staying at Steve and Kathys condo, Sunrise Haven. No detail was overlooked and they go the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. The location is just perfect, as we visited Key West, but spent most of our time in Islamorada. We cant think of one negative thing to say and we definitely will be booking another vacation here again. Thanks again Steve and Kathy!

About the host

Hosted by Steven and Kathy

Host profile image
We were born and grew up in Southern California. We were very fortunate to enjoy both mountain, river and oceanside activities in our youth. We now split our time between the Florida Keys and Park City, Utah. We love sunrises and sunsets. Our goal was to be able to retire with a mountain home and an oceanside home. "Sunrise Haven" is one of our Islamorada residences with spectacular sunrise views from the main balconies. But the upper floor guest bedroom has a west facing balcony for sunset views. We also have other Islamorada vacation rental properties. "Sunset Reef, " Vrbo 809744 and "Snapper House" in Bonefish Bay, Vrbo 745651. Both are bay side with great sunset views. We also have our Deer Valley mountain vacation rental home, "Sunset Lodge," Vrbo 206330, with fantastic sunset views. We are blessed in life with great family and good friends. The photo, taken in front of our Contender, shows the result of another day on the water and the freshest fish for dinner.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in the South Florida area since 1977. We raised our two children and spent our careers here. We have always enjoyed fishing, lobstering, sailing, motor boating and water sports activities since our youth in Southern California. We purchased our first Florida Keys property in Islamorada in 1994. There are many activities to see and do in the Keys. The Maison resort property location is perfect for relaxing for a week or outdoor minded people looking for a base for activities.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the Florida Keys when we arrived in the area in 1977. When our children were young we sailed the Keys island chain and the Bahamas in our Morgan Out Island. Now we enjoy motor boating activities from off shore fishing to back country fishing to lobstering. We enjoy kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, snorkeling off of the shoreline to catch lobster for dinner and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, Florida Bay and the Everglades for fishing. The Maison resort property location allows for all kinds of water sports activities. But the Maison property is a quiet, private location to relax. Some of our guests choose to not leave the the complex. There are the beach hammocks, shaded lounges and the pool area for relaxing and to read a good book while enjoying the fabulous ocean views and breezes. A great way to start the day is with your coffee or tea watching the sunrise walking the beach or from the master bedroom balcony. In the evenings we like the beach propane fire pit. We also like to go up to the west facing balcony for sunset. There are many ways to relax at Sunrise Haven. If you are interested in leaving the Maison property, downtown Islamorada is minutes away with many fine restaurants, shopping, art galleries and the Bass Pro Shops - World Wide Sportsman facility and marina.
