About this property

Just a Few Friends - Ocean View and Bring your Boat!

Experience all the Florida Keys has to offer in this stunning 2 bed/ 2 ½ bath condominium with an Ocean View, located in Bay Harbour, Islamorada Florida. This quiet gated community allows one to truly escape. Have the trip of a lifetime with Just a couple of friends & BRING YOUR BOAT too (up to 30')!

Amenities include; Large heated/cool pool, jetted hot tub, fitness center, clubhouse, tennis courts, grills, covered parking + guest parking, and a private boat slip (Insurance required & trailers must be parked off-premises- we can make recommendations for that storage) with power & water giving easy access to both the Bay & Oceanside.

The attention to detail in this unit is unmatched. Chic coastal decor, modern appliances, & ocean/pool views allow those staying to truly immerse themselves in the luxurious island life. Enjoy mornings on your private balcony watching the sunrise. Unwind in the evenings watching movies on your massive flat screen. Cook your fresh seafood in the kitchen equipped with granite countertops & stainless appliances.

The master suite is equipped with a very comfortable king-sized bed, ocean views, flat-screen & direct access to your private screened-in balcony. A large walk-in closet offers a home for suitcases & fishing gear. The master bathroom is a dream with a jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower & double sink.

The guest suite has a queen bed & plenty of space for unpacking with two closets & a dresser. Equipped with pool view & flat screen. The guest bedroom also has a spacious en-suite bathroom.

Step outside your unit to your boat just steps away from your door. Or head to the tennis courts, pickleball courts or gym for a morning workout then cool off in the pool. After a long day of successful fishing & lobstering use one of the cleaning stations to prepare your food & the grill by the pools.

Our unit is conveniently located across the highway from Sea Oats Beach, less than a mile from one of the nicest sand bars in Islamorada known to locals as 'Ann's beach' a favorite to most for its crystal clear water with sandy white beaches. On the other side of the bridge experience Alligator Lighthouse, an iconic lighthouse known for its gorgeous reef & wildlife

Experience the fishing capital of the world, home to virtually almost every species of fish that swims. The Bayside offers the option to sight fish the shallow flats between hidden mangroves & catch one of the game fish that satisfy a majority of the backcountry. Oceanside presents an entirely different form of fishing & is conveniently located on the other side of the bridge. Hunters are able to jump into the water with a spear gun & deep-sea fishers are given the opportunity to reel in a variety of monstrous fish. While there is no boat ramp or trailer storage at the condominium, there is a Marina down the street that can accommodate your needs.

Upon arrival, we will have a list of the top restaurants and bars our locals live for!

Experience the local breweries ~ Islamorada Beer Company & ~ Florida Keys Brewery. Try fresh off the boat stone crab claws & oysters ~ Mar Bar. Dance the night away at one of ~ Morada Bays' full moon parties.

Plan a day of nearby excursions; such as swimming with dolphins ~ Theater of the Sea, feeding massive tarpons during brunch ~ Robbie's, jet-skiing around the islands, or parasailing above.

Please note that a $1,500 security deposit will be HELD against your credit card three days before your arrival and released after departure. This is not a charge, just a hold until it can be verified that there is no damage.
A Florida lease, and application with a background check performed by the condominium is required. If you fail the background check, the $100 processing fee will be held from any refund due.

Everything as Advertised

What a beautifully appointed condo! Having a dock for our boat was very nice. The only thing I wish I had known in advance was that we would need to find a marina to launch and store our boat trailer. The pool area includes a hot tub, we also used the fitness center and pickleball courts.

Well worth the visit

This location was well worth the visit. Location is nice - close to what you need, but just on the edge, far enough away to feel like in another world. Inside well decorated, good views of the Atlantic Ocean and has a boat slip for you to take advantage of some great fishing ! Would have no issue recommending this place to just a few friends.

Bay Harbour 2024

Wonderful condo in quiet community. Kitchen very well stocked as we cooked in a lot, even spices. Definitely will want a car for this location to head into Islamarada for restaurants. There is a fish market in walking distance, we picked up so fresh Grouper to prepare at the condo. Comfortable beds as room to spread out as we had a couple stormy days.

Fabulous keys condo

Everything was great at condo. Perfect for two couples with both bedrooms having on suite bathrooms and a 1/2 bath in main area. Beds and living area furniture was very comfortable. We used gym every day and Bob the office person was a really nice guy. Pool and hot tub warm and clean. We used gas grills to make dinner a couple of times that were in front of gym by the pool. Jonelle was great to deal with. Perfect 8 night vacation.

Just Friends So True

I, my wife, my son, and daughter-in-law stayed at this wonderful condo. It was clean and very well stocked. We felt like it was home away from home. There was nothing we needed that it didn't have. We loved the screened in patio and spent a lot of time sitting, talking, and listening to good music. We hope to be able to stay there again soon.

Amazing Stay!

We’ve been coming to the Keys for decades and this was by far our favorite condo we’ve ever rented. It’s big, comfortable, has literally everything you could need and more for a fun time. It was clean, furnished exactly like the pictures. Bay Harbour is also a wonderful, quiet, friendly community with great amenities. Jonelle was EXTREMELY responsive, helpful, kind and made our stay even more amazing. We are booking for next year already and cannot wait.

Amazing Vacation!

This property was excellent! Everything was just like in the pictures. It was great being in driving range of all the keys being right in the middle. I wish there were some beach chairs and/or an umbrella available to use but really it was a beautiful, well maintained place that was perfect to spend our time at.

A little bit of paradise

Everything about our stay was amazing. The rental was beautiful and decorated with that perfect coastal vibe. Bob the property manager was great and such a help answering all our questions. Our view overlooked the canal and also had a great view of the ocean. There were manatees in the canal and it was so neat to watch them. I can't say enough good things. Janelle with Blue 9 realty was also great. We chose to extend our stay and she made the process super easy. We will definitely be coming back.

One Word ...WOW!

Our stay at "Just a Few Friends" was relaxing, comfortable, clean, convenient, and full of memories we will cherish for a lifetime. This is a perfect place for a fun getaway. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and beautifully decorated to give you that perfect island vibe. There are two bathrooms and a half bath which was so great to have when everyone needed their time after a jam packed day out on the water. Of course, the living space where we ate on the patio every night was the BEST! It is in a great location to access any part of the keys and our favorite part was watching the manatees come visit every day and night in the marina area. If you plan on parking a boat in there be very, very careful! The manatees LOVE chilling in there, so keep slow and keep an eye out at all times for these magnificent and gentle animals. Blue 9 Realty was so wonderful, and it was super easy communicating with them about the property. It was the perfect, comfy, get away to enjoy a family trip!

Perfect location for our boat

If you visit Islamorada, it’s all about being on the water. We brought our boat and it was very convenient to have a boat slip on the property. The condo was very nice and so was the on-site pool. Underground parking was a plus.

Keys fishing and base of operations

This place was wonderful and as advertised. The property contact, Jonelle, was communicative before, during and after our stay. It was also well located for our daily trips out of Bud N Marys, good restaurants as well as for our day trip to Key West . I would recommend this place and property to everyone.

Perfect start to 2022!

The beautiful condo was the perfect start to a new year. There were a few hiccups at the beginning of the stay but Jonelle was able to have them corrected right away. One day she sent us a weather alert about a strong storm approaching the area. It was a pleasure working with her. We enjoyed the screened patio where we watched the boats unload their catch of lobster and stone crab or ha a morning coffee. The view from the condo is postcard material-Atlantic Ocean on one side and a beautiful heated pool on the other. The grounds and public areas are well maintained and beautiful. The gym was well equipped and machines in working order. Just outside the condo grounds are wonderful walking and/biking paths and well as quiet neighborhood streets. The kitchen appliances were great when cooking meals or making your favorite coffee. The room darkening drapes in the king bedroom makes for a great sleep late. The beach themed condo offers everything needed for a special getaway!
