AWESOME VRBO! Highly recommend!

Wonderful Family Retreat!We had an amazing stay at this property with two families totaling nine people(kids, young adults, and adults). The space was perfect, providing ample room for everyone to relax and enjoy our time together. The dock was fantastic for our boat, making it easy to access the open turquoise waters for some great fishing, SCUBA, snorkeling, and exploring.We loved cooking meals in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoyed grilling outside while spending time in the pool. The variety of books and games available added to our fun family evenings. One of the highlights was spotting manatees who hung out right off the dock several days during our stay—what a treat!The location is ideal, with nearby state parks and the sea turtle rescue center just a mile away. We took full advantage of the beautiful surroundings. The kids loved riding the bikes everyday! A special shoutout to the concierge, who had delivered a birthday cake and balloons for my husband’s birthday upon our arrival. The communication throughout the booking process and our stay was excellent.Overall, everyone had a fantastic time, and we would all love to return to this beautiful retreat. Highly recommend it for families looking for a memorable getaway!

Great location with room for boat

My family of four (2 adults, 2 kids 10yo & 13yo) stayed 7 nights here and it met all of our expectations. The house itself was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The beds were comfortable as well. We had an unexpected issue arise and it was handled quickly with good communication. We did not use the apartment below but that would be suitable for another couple to stay. There are two staircases to climb in order to reach the main house. The location was great, not far from Key West, close to local beaches and easy access to open water. We rented a boat for two days and were able to keep it tied up to their dock. The pool isn’t big, but it gets the job done - its warm, clean and the kids loved it. We would definitely stay here again.

Truly a disappoint!

I booked this property for 11 days but never got to stay there due to my home getting hit/flooded by hurricanes Helene and Milton. This was a business/vacation trip. Our conference was cancelled in Marathon due to hurricane warning in the Keys everyone including our association was credited or refunded. Travel was unsafe throughout most of the state. The governor declared a state of emergency. I didn't purchase travel insurance because if I couldn't go, I figured someone in our company could attend, but these two storms were unprecedented and very large. I didn't even expect a full refund, but I would have thought she'd at least send back a portion. I have owned condos, and I couldn't image doing this to a guest! I have even sent follow up emails requesting a portion of my money back and crickets! VRBO gave me a refund for their portion of the cost. I will never rent from this person again. Communication was poor throughout and never sent receipts for payments even when I specifically asked in emails. I have proof through VISA. Very disappointed with the whole experience.
