Perfect location for using Kemp Channel to get to the Gulf or Atlantic. House had everything and homeowner was responsive to any questions about the house or the area.
upgrades were done to the dock will help with docking
location is good for offshore,reef fishing and diving on looe key
we plan on going back next year
This was our 4 th year at this property we like the location fishing, bait and tackle, restaurants and shopping all nearby
The dock could use some upgrades
The house fits our needs very well
Hope to return
Thank-you so much for sharing your beautiful paradise home with us for the month of August. It was everything promised, and more! The location was perfect for our daily diving trips and we were close to many great restaurants. The house was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
This was my second year renting this property
That should say it all
Easy access to the reef and offshore fishing
Bait and tackle stores are close by
Also some good restaurants that will cook your catch
Far enough away to avoid the crowds and everything you need is near by
A few improvements to the sea wall and a fish cutting table would make it a better experience for boaters/ fishermen

Just what we were looking for!
We enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable. It is nice to have 2 levels so the kids can hang out downstairs while the adults have the upstairs. It is a short channel ride to the Atlantic. The canal is quiet and perfect for paddle boarding. The location was great for us. There is a nice little coffee/ ice cream shop 1 mile up the road that we would ride the bikes to.
The house is located on a beautiful free flowing canal. We all loved hopping in after a day on the boat. The wide canal was easy to maneuver our 26ft center console boat. My husband and I paddle boarded or kayaked (the house has two) daily out to the flats. The neighborhood was great for walking and running. There are several great restaurants located near the home. Broil and Square Grouper are our favorites. Key West was only about 30 minutes away too.
Communication with the hosts was easy and they responded within minutes.
The house fits our needs very well
The reef is close by and a 20 mile run for dolphin
Local restaurants are good and will cook your catch
The addition of a fish cleaning table is a welcome addition
Fenders and cleats on the sea wall would be helpful
The weather this year was the best so far
Hope to be back next year
My family and I absolutely loved our stay. It was a joke away from home. The location could not have been more perfect. The beautiful canal was clean and so close to open waters. The house was roomy and have plenty of space. We enjoyed having the downstairs for our son to play and spread out all of the toys. The house extended our expectations. The neighbors were lovey and offered a helping hand on more than one occasion. Would definitely stay again.
Had a fantastic month. Perfect location for fishing and boating the canal was our swimming pool-aquarium .The house and property were perfect for children. The neighbors were wonderful. Ken and Carol are fantastic hosts.
We had an excellent stay in Summerland Key. The house had everything we needed and the location was perfect. We we able to keep our boat here and the fishing was incredible the entire time. Anything that came up was handled quickly and the communication with the owner was great. I would recommend staying here to anyone I know
We had a lovely month here. We kayaked almost every day right out of the canal - sometimes twice a day. The house was just what we needed. Beds were very comfortable. The basement was a nice “suite” for visiting family to use.
We loved being close to good restaurants that were dog friendly (Tonios, Boondocks, Kiki’s), as well as close To Key West . We took a 3 hour kayak tour with Captain Marcus on Summerland, which was great. Fresh seafood from Tonios market was awesome as well.
Watching the fish in the canal was fun. We saw several angelfish and parrotfish, we would happily stay here again,
Very nice house on a flow through canal which was nice because you could take a dip in it on a hot day. Fishing was some of the best we have experienced. House was clean and very nice, owner seems like a very pleasant person. Only thing I would advise is to bring lots of buoys/bumpers there is a string of them there in place but we needed more to keep the boat from rubbing the concrete wall at all different tides. House also has a small bait freezer downstairs which is awesome for fisherman.

Staying at living in beautiful paradise.
Name says it all! It suited our needs perfectly, from the Goliath Grouper in the canal to the comfortable beds & furniture & all in between. The screened in deck was awesome!
The location was perfect for getting out fishing into either the Atlantic or the Gulf-weather depending. And there was great kayaking also.
We look forward to returning and hope our timeframe opens back up for 2020 and beyond.
