Key Largo Retreat
Hiran and Sarahi exceeded expectations to ensure we enjoyed our 2-month stay – providing bicycles, paddle equipment and even bringing over a Cuban sandwich when we asked where to find one. They responded quickly to any issues.The property is an original build on a boat canal. It is very nicely maintained, with many improvements including a 2nd bedroom and bathroom, and nicely finished outside decks. There is even a screened deck area, although noseums can sneak in during dusk and sunset (keep bug spray handy). There are 3 separate heat pumps for AC /heat, internet was reliable, and the smart TV had a combination of antenna, Prime XTV and Netflix. The kitchen and propane BBQ met all our cooking needs. The central location is great for (long) day trips to Key West, the Everglades and Miami. The neighborhood was very quiet during the week but a livelier crowd can show up during weekends/major holidays. We felt very safe walking the neighborhood at night. We thoroughly enjoyed the setting on the boat canal. It was great relaxing under the tiki hut, listening to music on the bluetooth speakers and watching fish jump in the canal. We launched the kayak/canoe from the deck, and paddled the many canals on the Gulf of Mexico side of the keys. We spotted manatees, a couple lounging crocodiles and many birds in the nearby bird sanctuary. We also saw neighbors fishing from their back deck. We would definitely return if we visit the Keys again.
