Would Not Rent Again

We stayed at this house for a week at Easter and were surprised when we arrived to find it is up for sale. We were asked twice during our stay to accommodate showings, which we agreed to. The gazebo canopy was missing, and water and some lights at the dock didn't work. We called Eddy about the issues but they were never rectified, we were told the canopy ripped recently and were not offered any other options. The house is in need of a deep cleaning, has limited cookware stocked in the kitchen, the garbage disposal has a very large leak, and only six bath towels available. We also had problems with receiving contracts and our security deposit timely. After we sent in our full payment plus security deposit, we needed to call Eddy to send the contract and were informed that our paperwork wasn't processed correctly. Two weeks before our trip Eddy requested we send him a copy of the signed check because he couldn't determine what he did with it. We were not refunded our security deposit within two weeks as indicated in the contract and again had to call Eddy. We finally received it after an additional two weeks. We considered extending our stay an additional night until Eddy wanted the full price deposited to his bank by the next day, no consideration was given to the issues he did not address or us agreeing to allow showings during our stay. I would definitely not rent this house again

Great place for on and off the boat!

My husband and I rented this beautiful home for 1 week with our 2 adult children and another couple for lots of diving (spear fishing) and some fishing. The place was just as described and pictured. Eddy was accessible by phone and very accommodating with a request we had, and he wanted to make sure the place was clean on arrival (which it was) and that we enjoyed our stay (which we did). The canal was wide, and we had lots of space for our 33 foot boat. There was a cleaning table for cleaning the fish, and a grill that was stocked with propane! We moved the outside furniture around to get some shade in the afternoon, and it was nice to have a short walk from the boat to the house. We'd love to come back! It's a great location!

Great Place and Area

My wife an I spent over a month at this very comfortable, clean house in a great area this past winter between the months of Jan & March 2015. We loved our time there and it is absolutly perfect for a person who wants to do some boating in the Keys, 5 min to open ocean or 5 min to the bay! We would recommend this place and area to anyone. Also Eddy (the owner) was great to work with.

Excellent Vacation Home!

We rented this house for a week in July with another family. This house was very comfortable for two families. There was plenty of room at the dock for both of our boats. Everything in the house was beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped. The house was so clean! We loved every minute! We can't wait to go back next year!

Great Fishing Destination

Very nice, well kept house and yard. Excellent central location in the Keys with close proximity to most amenities. Islamorada is definitely the place to stay if you're looking for a relaxing fishing filled holiday. There were a couple minor issues with the house during our stay, but the owner was very accommodating and made every effort to make sure our stay was enjoyable. I would recommend this property.

Wonderful Winter Retreat

We stayed in this fine home over Christmas break and had a relaxing vacation in the FL Keys. The home is beautifully appointed and feels like a luxury getaway. Located close to the supermarket and local restaurants, we were able to cook meals and enjoy them in the outdoor patio or go out to eat local cuisine. Everything was so convenient. The appliances in the house are nice and high quality, even down to the superfast Internet connection. The dock was great for launching our kayaks and even for going swimming/snorkeling. We saw plenty of pretty fish right from the dock. The owner, Eddy, is fantastic and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Above our Expectations

The group of 8 of us chose this house to host our week long fishing trip. As soon as we entered the house we knew that we had chosen the perfect place to stay. The entire house has been renovated and was very clean. The outside, which was where we spent 90% of our time, was the perfect place to relax by the water, grill, dock the boats, and fish. The home is located in the perfect area with easy access to good restaurants, grocery stores, bait stores, and both the Atlantic and Gulf sides of the keys. Eddy, the owner, is honest, fair, and responsive. This place is a perfect place to stay whether with a family or taking a fishing trip and I highly recommend.

Review from one of the "Nine Family Members"

I'm the daughter from the previous review & have to agree with everything that was said! We had a ball in our "backyard aquarium" watching the fish & trying to get "the big one". Next time we'll bring heavier line, but we had so much fun trying to reel in the huge ones who ran away with it. Some of the activities we enjoyed and recommend: awesome day of deep sea fishing on the "Sea Horse" (caught about 20 tuna / mahi mahi); best meal there was grilling up our fresh catch on the backyard grill; a day of snorkeling & sea kayaking at John Pennekamp State Park; beautiful day at the Islander Resort (about 5 miles or so south) which has 2 pools, hot tub, outdoor bar/restaurant, volleyabll, rentals of every kind, beautiful beach with snorkeling-lots of fish right offshore (open to the public); supper at the Islamorada Fish company (gotta watch them feed the nurse sharks!); lots of relaxing early mornings & happy hours on the back patio area. Would definitely return-perfectly spotless-just like listing states. We used every inch of the space, including the attached suite-just as beautiful as the house & a very nice quiet hide-away! Thanks for spoiling us!

OUR FAMILY VACATION - ALL NINE FAMILY MEMBERS

What a beautiful home we lived in during our vacation. It was just as described and even better. All 9 members of our family had high praise for our accomidations. We were pleased with the location, everything was so close to us. We had a great time fishing off the dock. Our daughter and grandson both had such large fish take their bait that we could not stop the fish from running up the channel and taking all of my line .GREAT FUN !! We had an egret come in the yard every morning and we had fun feeding it fish scrapes out of our hands. We called her "Ethel the Egret". More fun !! Our family will definitely return for our next vacation. And we highly recommend this home to all vacationers. The ower, EDDY, is a very nice person to deal with.

Immaculate!

Owner is a perfectionist, house was unbelieveably clean! Beds were comfortable, Eddy (owner) was super responsive and great to deal with! We traveled with two couples, two children and two boats, home is so comfortable, they have equipped with everything! Venetian Shores one of the best neighborhoods in Islamorada and quick access for boating, fishing. We come to Islamorada frequently and would definitely rent this home again!

Paradise Package!

My husband and another couple enjoyed a wonderful week of fishing and stayed in this beautifully maintained home. It had everything we were looking for. A well built boat dock with power, water and fish cleaning station and a beautiful home with everything we needed. It is well maintained and very clean with top of the line appliances. Our communications with the owner was always positive and questions were answered promptly. We highly recommend this residence for your island vacation!

Wedding party

We call my daughter "The Hotel Snob" as she wants everything very clear. When she walked in the house she called me to say, "The hotel snob is happy." There is very little I would change. Everything worked and was clean. We were happy that the neighborhood was one in which we felt very safe. It was close to grocery, beaches, and fishing. There was plenty of room to visit and outdoor space was also great. My only recommendations to Eddy would be to furnish trash bags and maybe purchase a few more large towels. Another plus was everytime I had a question, I called Eddy and he got right back with me. I have no reservations at all in recommending this property. Go and have fun in the Keys.

Beautiful home in a very nice neighborhood!

When going down to Islamorada, I didn't know much about the area. We were going down for a wedding, and just knew that this house was close to the wedding reception. Upon arrival, we were very pleased with the condition of the house and the neighborhood it was in. Venetian Shores was VERY nice!!! The house was spotless (as promised by Eddy the owner) and everything is very new and updated. The backyard is very nice and is perfect if you are bringing a boat and plan on fishing. We also had motorcycles, so the garage access was excellent to keep them secure and out of the weather! We did have one problem which was no fault of poor upkeep. While on our stay, the AC/Heat stopped working. I took a look at the AC/Heating unit which was a trustworthy brand, and couldn't have been more then a year or two old. I called Eddy to let him know right away. He had someone there right away. When that contractor didn't have the part, Eddy called another who responded the next day. Eddy always answered his phone, and was never too busy to deal with our problem. The unit was fixed before our stay was over. Fortunately, the weather was nice during our stay which made the issue easier to deal with. We were leaving the area late on the evening of our checkout, and we're allowed a late checkout due to no one checking in the day of our departure. That was nice and made our departure more relaxed as we enjoyed the home and backyard a little longer on our last day. We didn't take advantage of the private suite, but I'm sure it was as well kept and clean as the rest of the house. Overall, I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a well kept home on their vacation. Very nice for a family, especially one who enjoys backyard BBQ's and fishing!!!

Great Thanksgiving with friends and family

Great times in Islamorada! The house was very clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Nice dock and set up for your boat. The location was perfect and provided easy access to the bay and ocean. Founder's Park is just minutes and a good place to launch your boat for a reasonable fee, and has great facilities for the whole family to enjoy. Lots of activities and great restaurants located in Islamorada and adjacent keys. I would definitely stay here again.

Slice of Paradise

We live in South Florida, and for my entire life I have been coming to the Keys. As my family grew, we moved from motels, to homes. We have stayed in quite a few over the years in Venetian Shores, however, this home, by far has been the most enjoyable. Newness, cleanliness, and the care and concern of the owner and staff were more than I expected. We will be back.

Great Weekend

We booked this home last minute for a long weekend, Eddie the owner was very accomodating and the home was very cozy and clean. The home is truly like brand new. The location is outstanding, we brought our boat down and had a blast. We will be reaching out to Eddie again shortly.

Perfect family reunion place!

Comfortable for 10! We had a wonderful time and felt so pampered with this beautiful house, gazebo, and dock. The pictures are true- it is completely remodeled and very clean. The manager let us in and Eddy checked on us and we didn't need for anything. We grilled out and gathered in the spacious kitchen/family room or outside under the gazebo. It was especially helpful to be all on one level, no stairs for Granny! We look forward to coming back. I would highly recommend renting this lovely home.

Great House & Owner

The house was great, outstanding location for fishing/diving and sightseeing. Very comfortable, well decorated and equipped. Nice gazebo, nice dock, plenty of storage and a freezer. Close via boat or car to fuel, bait, ice. Easy access to ocean or bay. House has it all, I wish I were still there. Eddy (the owner) is easy to deal with, fair and accomodating. I've rented houses in the Keys many years and I highly recommend this one.

Florida Keys

We enjoyed our stay in Islamorada at the lovely rental property of Eddy Hoyo. The property manager, Jorge, met us and was very helpful. Eddy also checked to be sure everything was OK. The property was recently remodeled and redecorated to be in as new condition. Very Nice. We were there with our Daughter and Grandkids ages 6 and 9. Some of the favorite activities were Theatre of the Sea for the kids, Gator Park in the Everglades (easy day trip), fishing and catching fish (we took our catch to Island Grill where they prepared it for us in several different delicious ways). The drive to Key West is recommended for the beautiful drive. John Pennekamp State Park in Key Largo-Glass Bottom boat was nice. The best grocery shopping we found was Winn Dixie in Tavemier, a few miles back towards Key Largo. The Grill and outdoor patio provided a great place for dinner on the waterway canal. Another nice resturant (we were there for lunch) was Lorelei's. Overall a great week.

Perfect Keys Getaway!

Eddy was wonderful to work with when planning our vacation! His manager, Jorge, met us at the house and was able to recommend several restaurants to try out (none of which we were disappointed in). Lazy Days and Lorelei's had great seafood, service, and atmosphere. The house was beautiful and everything in the house was brand new. The pictures do not lie, it really is that gorgeous! We enjoyed many meals outside in the gazebo looking out at the water. Eddy was so accommodating, helpful, and reliable. I would highly recommend his home to anyone traveling to Islamorada!

Family Vacation, Islamorada

My family of four enjoyed a week's stay at Eddy's place in February. My parents also joined us. There was plenty of space for the 6 of us and the bonus room gave the kids an extra area to themselves (although they also loved hanging out in their room with the bunk beds!). The house was really clean, in VERY good condition, modern and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. We spent a lot of time sitting around the big table outside under the cabana enjoying the warm air and wonderful views. We also rented a boat and kept it at the house which is in a great location for accessing both the Gulf and the Atlantic. I would highly recommend renting this lovely home. Eddy was very helpful and professional. If we decide to rent in the Keys again next year, this will be our first pick!
