Perfect location!

We needed a quiet upscale place where we could relax, but get to the action quickly. This house was perfect for that! My husband, my sister, and myself truly enjoyed the layout of the house, the amazing pool, and even got a visit from the local manatee family! It was close to amazing restaurants and had the perfect kitchen for relaxing meals at home. Highly recommend!

Easy Access to the Ocean )

We chose this location due to how easy it was for us to access the ocean. The home has all the necessities, including, a big plus -- an outside ice maker and freezer. Very boater friendly - with nice neighbors. Sadly the weather did not cooperate the week we chose, giving us 25-33 mph winds, causing us to leave the boat on the trailer for 2 days. We have never experienced this type weather down in the Keys. It was even too chilly to swim in the pool, and some of the area around US1 near Florida City/Key Largo was on fire a few days before our departure which caused us to leave early because of road closures. Yet...we are thankful for the upstairs balcony and covered parking. We hope to choose a warmer week next visit.

Great time with friends

Property is great for a group of friends or family to spend time together. Pool was fantastic and being able to keep the boat on the bulkhead made for easy boat days, having ample parking for a trailer was a great bonus as well. Would definitely come back.

Great Location - great space for large family or friends

We stayed 2 weeks. First week couples(6 people) and 2nd week family (10 people) plenty of space for everyone . A lot to do right in the property. Pool was such a plus. My son brought a sailboat and that with the kayaks provided a lot of activities. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
