Perfect Place to Stay in Islamorada

The property is beautiful and extremely well maintained. It is located in the best possible location in Islamorada. We loved having our 23' boat there the entire time and the plunge pool was such a nice amenity. The owner, Giovanna, could not have been nicer and was so helpful and a joy to deal with. Loved it!!!

Best Vacation in Islamorada

We enjoyed the house and its central location in Islamorada. We enjoyed having a boat split for our Boston Whaler. We forgot which day it was multiple times.. That is a sign of a wonderful vacation.

Thanksgiving in Paradise!!!

This property will not disappoint! The community has a laid-back Keys vibe, and the home is beautifully decorated. We stayed the week of Thanksgiving when the weather was perfect. Enjoyed the bicycles and paddleboards, as well as hanging in the plunge pool watching football on the big screen and relaxing. Giovanna was the perfect host. We hope to stay again soon.

Comfortable Home

The house was well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen was better equipped than most rentals. There were plug-in air fresheners in every bathroom which we unplugged upon arrival because we prefer unscented interiors. The plunge pool was a great place to relax in the afternoons. Highly recommend this house.

Paradise and Relaxation

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful property. The home is gorgeous, immaculate and has everything you need for rest, relaxation and a bit of fun. The location is also great. We were able to snorkel, fish, and swim at the beach within just a few miles. My girls loved spending time in the splash pool after the days activities. While my husband and I enjoyed watching the sunset with a glass of wine at the end of the day. We look forward to our next stay.

Everything you need

This property was beautiful... great space, has all the amenities. We loved the location and the setting. Having the private plunge pool was fabulous for having a cocktail after dinner. The dock was perfect for the boat and also seeing all the wildlife (manatee, fish, baby sharks). We took sunset cruises out into the harbor each night. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Our group had a great time and were very impressed with this propery. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Islamorada over a decade ago when we drove down as visitors for a weekend getaway. Ever since, we kept returning every chance we got. On a serendipitous occasion during one of our many visits, we happened to walk by the pre-construction site of Coral Cove and instantly knew we would love making this place our home.
We eventually built the home of our dreams and decided the only thing better than keeping it to ourselves would be sharing our paradise with families and friends seeking a relaxing, yet excitement-filled experience in unforgettable Islamorada.

What makes this property unique

Our home's location is truly unbeatable. Central to everything Islamorada has to offer, from world-famous restaurants to activities for the entire family, while nestled in a peaceful cove on the bay. Direct water access allows guests to keep watercraft within reach for the duration of their stay.
