About this property

Casa del Mar, Open waterfront pool home in the Sombrero Beach area

Fabulous location in the Sombrero Beach area of the Middle Keys. Sombrero Beach is one of the Florida Keys jewels, oceanfront with a stunning natural sandy beach shoreline, one of the most popular beach locations in the Keys and all within walking distance of this 4-bedroom pool home on the open shore with stunning views to the east. Wake up to spectacular sunrises, is there a better way to start your day of adventure?

A private fishing pier extends from the shore out to the platform at the end. A great spot for fun fishing, small boat dockage in good weather or to just jump in and snorkel (there is a convenient ladder to use) or just stretch-out on the deck and enjoy the sun and the sound of water moving under the dock.

The home is delightful and spacious, two levels with the main living areas and two bedrooms on the top floor and two bedrooms on the first level with a great room for relaxation. On the first floor you can enjoy TV entertainment or movies together after hours with three roomy couches or use the foosball table for fun family playing and competitions. Step out the back sliding glass doors to a covered porch with seating and views of the pool and waterfront beyond and stairs to the back yard.
The top floor also has stunning views of the open water from the living areas, kitchen and master bedroom in addition to the extensive covered porch. The second bedroom on this level has a queen size bed and bath with direct access to the bedroom as well as serving as a hall bath.
The spacious master bedroom has a king size bed with a window wall of sliding glass doors providing access to the porch and great views of the open water beyond. A bath private to the master has a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower.
The living area has generous seating to gather after a great day out and about, to share stories or plan for tomorrow's adventures or simply relax and watch TV entertainment. Another window wall of sliding glass doors leads out to the covered porch and views of the pool below and the dock and ocean beyond.
The kitchen and dining area finishes the upstairs common areas and it is charming with everything a cook and their helpers could want. The cook gets to share in the views while preparing meals and the kitchen is set up comfortably for the main cook to have helpers without them getting underfoot. A bar height countertop on the island is a great spot to pass dishes and food to easily set the table for meals.
The dining table runs the length of the window wall in this room for great dining atmosphere. A sliding glass door at the side gives easy access to carry meals out to the covered porch for outdoor dining. Sunrises for breakfast and sunset backlighting for dinner!
The best of all may be the outdoor areas, a lovely 13’ x 28’ freshwater pool with a waterfall effect and a free-standing hot tub just steps away. There is a convenient outdoor shower to rinse off the salt if you have been in the ocean before enjoying the pool or spa or to rinse snorkel gear. A fun adult swing set sits close to the shore as well as two darling Tiki Huts to give shade while you enjoy the views up close and personal!
All in all, the perfect spot for gathering with friends or family, either immediate or multi-generational to enjoy and explore the Florida Keys, may it be your first visit or one of many.

EXCELLENT RENTAL

We rented the place for 2 weeks. The house was well equipped especially in the kitchen. Pool and hot tub were great to have as you couldn’t swim from the beach behind the house as it is shallow and muddy. We heated the pool and thought it was worth the extra cost. Plenty of chairs for the pool and tiki areas. Dock was fun for seeing stars at night and for fishing ( caught snook, jacks and small barracudas). Beds were comfortable, very clean place. If you need to reboot the WIFI router (either because it’s running slow or XFinity is doing work in area) it’s in the kitchen cabinet to the left of the fridge. We’ll be looking to stay here again next year.

The house needs improvements

We chose this house over others because it provided a pool table. It was a big disappointment for my grown up children that it was not there. It was terrible to turn the light on in the basement to be able to operate the dishwasher. A modern house always provides a garbage disposal. This house does not. The lack of a table / chair in the master bedroom was the biggest problem for me. I needed to do some work in a quite location. But I couldn’t! Master bedroom bathroom:– There is no outlet for connecting a hair dryer next to the mirror.– There is no place to hang hand towels.– There is no floor mat / towel to use after taking a shower. Instead of providing a big garbage can in the kitchen, provide 2 kitchen size cans: one for garbage and the other for recycling. Our kitchen size trash bags did not fit the big can.

Family Spring Break

This is an amazing property in a great location. We had an absolute blast. The only thing you should know is that the water is not great for swimming just due to the location & the tide with the mucky bottom and a lot of garbage and seaweed cover the shoreline, however the pool, the hot tub, the house and the actual location of the property is definitely five stars! Highly recommend, and if you want to swim in the ocean, Sombrero beach is just a half a mile away, and absolutely gorgeous.

Sombrero area

House was nice, plenty of room for our group. Loved the pool and hot tub, only wished could have swam in the water but we rented kayaks and launched then directly into water from property. Highly recommend!

Great House and Pool / Water Access Not So Great

The house and pool are wonderful and as described. The water access is overstated: -Low tide water depth at the end of the dock is only 18 inches. We had to make other arrangements for our boat. -At low tide the stench of rotting vegetation is pretty overwhelming. Would not rent this property again.

This home was perfect.

There were 8 adult family members. The house was everything promised. The pool table was an added bonus. The hot tub was not heating correctly but Kitty had someone out there the next day to look at it. We are going to be using this home again!!
