About this property

The Lazy Lime 5bed/3bath updated single family with open water views, private

The Lazy Lime is a stunning gulf front newly updated 5 bedroom 3 bathroom single family home. Ask about adding the garden villa to add another 1/1 with a second pool! 

Looking for the perfect vacation retreat? Look no further! This stunning 5 bedroom home has it all! 

It features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms downstairs, and the master suite upstairs. Downstairs you will find the open floor plan very bright and welcoming with open water views from the living room, dining room & one of the bedrooms. The living room features a large sectional couch plus two chairs for ample seating. The kitchen is large and spacious plus has everything you need. The dining room can hold 6 people comfortably. There is also outdoor seating with two tables and a concrete picnic table that overlooks the open water. 

Off the living room there are two bedrooms and a shared bathroom in the hallway. The bedroom with open water views downstairs is a king, where the other room next to it will have a queen. Off the kitchen you will find two more bedrooms and a shared hall bath. The first bedroom off the kitchen will have a king bed and the back one has two queen beds. There is also a small desk in both of these rooms too. The master suite is located upstairs and has its own private screened balcony overlooking the pool & open water. This room features a king bed, large closet and en suite bathroom plus a large chaise lounge to relax on next to the balcony. The private screened balcony has a love seat, coffee table & two loungers that have stunning open water views. 

Flat screen TV with cable in the living room. The upstairs master has a TV but has a fire stick (you can log into your netflix, hulu or amazon accounts), downstairs bedroom with water view has a TV with fire stick, and finally the back bedroom with the 2 queen beds has a TV with cable. 

There is ample seating inside and outside for large groups or families. There is a propane grill, separate hot tub & private pool plus dockage. Pool heat is $300 plus tax per week (included with cost). 

There are 3 parking spaces for the property. Do park in or in front of the car port on the left side, it belongs to the smaller unit. There is also room in front of the fence (leads to pool) that can fit a small trailer or small vehicle. Max vehicles allowed is 3. Max trailers allowed is 1. No rvs, campers or motorhomes. 

Max boat length 25-30ft. Only ONE boat allowed at the property. The dock is covered so a tuna tower or a Bertram won't fit. The top measures about 10 feet to the water line at average high tide. Please note that if you plan on bringing or renting a boat, jet skis or other water crafts, we can only guarantee that one will fit at the dock. Please make sure to confirm the dock size, space for trailer parking and if more than one vessel is allowed. This property can accommodate one trailer only. 

This property is “NOT pet friendly” so pets are not allowed on the property. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in a charge up to $500 and asked to vacate without a refund.

Need more space? Ask about adding The Garden Villa! It is a 1bed/1bath with its own separate pool right next door. This would give you 6bed/4bath and two pools.

Has potential

The stay started out a bit rocky. After a long day of travel we arrived to a dirty pool, hot tub, a horrible stench (outside) and animal feces on the edge of the pool. We contacted property management. They responded quickly but the pool guy didn’t arrive until around 4 pm the day 2. He told us , “I haven’t been here in at least a month, I’m a bit disappointed at who has been cleaning this pool.” He said there was zero chlorine in the pool. He vacuumed out the debris and treated the pool and hot tub. We then struggled to get the hot tub to keep a temp of at least 100 degrees. There were no instructions so I had to google how to use the control panel.. The key seemed to be to turn the jets on with the temp set. But, if instructions were provided for us, a few headaches could have been avoided. The stink came from the excessive seaweed sitting in the water, near the shoreline. This can be fairly common in The Keys. Even though I understand this, the seaweed should be raked out of the water at least weekly in order to reduce the horrible smell. Even my 4 year old nephew would say “ooh this stinks, I need to go inside.” We were told the feces was Iguana. But there was no shovel to scoop it and dispose and no cleaning product to sanitize the area. The cleaning lady who came the next day to clean it, used the broom from inside the house to sweep up the feces! I could type more but I have reached my limit on words allowed.

The Lazy Lime

We had the best time at the lazy lime! The hosts were very welcoming and very easily accessible. This house is incredibly comfortable! The neighborhood is classic keys living. If you’ve never been to the keys, you may be surprised, but you shouldn’t be, the whole town is incredibly safe, friendly and beyond welcoming. We loved it! The house is Charming, with beautiful views, totally private, clean, and incredibly cozy, a perfect Key’s Experience! We had one minor inconvenience, and the host was right on top of it! Spent eight amazing days here. We will definitely be returning.

Lovely Home with Amazing Views

Lazy Lime is a great place to stay! Fantastic property, comfortable and clean. Views were unmatched, very quiet & private. Location was very convenient to upper and lower keys, shopping, restaurants and many things to do. Tastefully decorated, even better than the pictures. The spacious layout was great for our group and allowed everyone some privacy if we wanted. Bonnie and her team were superb. We had so much fun in the pool & hot tub, grill worked great. The private dock with direct access to the ocean made our days on the water quick and easy. There was a little bit of seagrass that came into bay (smelled a little), but the ocean took it right back out the next day. Don’t let the first part of the street bother you; it’s a little “rough” but well worth it when you get to the house. Really enjoyable stay! Would highly recommend!!

Pics better than house

The house is very very old and choppy. Small Gallup kitchen. Beds in downstairs two bedrooms were old, sunk in middle. The view is beautiful after going through an area worse than the getto!!! A bum was going through our trash! Old pool, ladder broken! Again, the view is the only thing going for this property, considering the price!

Much needed vacation

We had a great time. The view was awesome. The pool and hot tub were excellent. The home was clean, spacious and comfortable. When we had a concern, the manager responded immediately. It was centrally located among all the islands. Close to shopping, public beach, golf and restaurants. We would gladly rent this property again.

House not as as advertised

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our stay at the Lazy Lime. The house and property were not at all what was advertised in the marketing pictures. The house is surrounded by run down shacks and trailers. The grounds were not well kept and were not cleaned up following a Christmas storm, with coconuts, branches, and palm fronds scattered everywhere. There was also some kind of marine fungus starting to grow on the stone wall, and there was no beach to speak of. The pool paint was peeling on the bottom, making it unsafe to use. Fortunately, there was a dirty, but working hot tub that we enjoyed. We were excited to see a fire pit, but when we took the cover off, it looked old, unsafe and didn't have propane. The house looked and felt old and worn out. It has not been updated recently despite what is claimed in the description. The rooms and bathrooms looked and felt dirty. When we arrived, we found someone's hair on the walls of the upstairs bathroom. There was also a lot of dust gathered around the edges of doors and walls. The washer and dryer were old and inefficient. Despite the house not living up to our expectations, we enjoyed the Keys and had great weather.
