Nice comfortable rental, as described not a swimming beach but great views over the Atlantic. Great mid Keys location. Owner responded to the few problems that we had. Nice birding right across the highway in some backwater ponds!
Wonderful to wake up and sit right on the waterfront for coffee. Grab a kayak and paddle about. MarketNext store makes great coffee and breakfast. Breezes spectacular.
This property was perfect for us! The location offered us the ability to explore other areas of the Keys with ease. The property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The view was absolutely beautiful and offered plenty of both sun, shade and room for all guests to have space. Perfect!
Absolutely beautiful views and a perfect location! The apartment was a great size for the 2 of us. All our favorite places are nearby. Loved being able to sit down on the beach and up on the deck. Plenty of shade from the palm trees. Water is typical keys. We loved it and will definitely book again!
What a beauty property in the middle of the Florida Keys. The host was prompt and very easy to work with. We are already planning our next trip!! Highly recommend.
My adult sons came along with my husband and I for a week long getaway. We love the keys and because we were right on the water, I was able to still feel like we were "together" while the boys fished. The home is comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking. The master bed was quite comfortable and the roll away cot as well. The fold out queen left a lot to be desired.....
All and all it was a really nice stay.
This property is wonderful!! You open your door to see the ocean each day. Nothing is more peaceful! Andy was very accommodating and communicative answering any and all questions quickly. The kayaks were a nice touch and the fire pit was a nice way to end the evening.
Would definitely stay again!
This place is amazing! What could be better than your own beach? The house was clean, has a nice kitchen, a grill, kayaks, a firepit, an outdoor dining table, an indoor dining table and covered parking. The only issue that I found was you could hear the roadway traffic at night (which you cant do anything about). The owner was very pleasant to work with and answered all my questions before and during our stay there. I highly recommend staying here!
Nice relaxing place to stay. Great location for exploring the Keys even Key West. Well appointed kitchen and grill. If we return to the area, we’d try to book this property again.
This place is a perfect home base to explore the keys! Half way between key largo and key west. The apartment was clean and comfortable and rite on the beach with grassy flats resort just two doors down. We were lucky enough to be there for their full moon party. I would recommend this rental and absolutely stay here again.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful apartment and view with us!!! Once we got there, could not get the box unlocked to grab the keys for almost 30! Minutes! Had to walk away and come back, got the key and WOW, what a view!!! The view is unbelievable! The apartment is just as advertised!! We had an awesome week and loved waking up on the beach!! The only other thing is the property to the south is a rental also!! They had so many coming and going for our whole week, and ALWAYS had there music blaring!! Not anyone’s fault, just a heads-ups!! And this group was not spring breakers, it was families with kids!
Beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful sunrises. Rental cottage beautifully appointed.
Although the property is located at water’s edge, it should not be considered a swim beach. Even at high tide, water is less than knee deep, more like ankle deep, for many yards out.
Beautiful place to stay very clean listing is 100% accurate lots of beaches nearby . Owner of the property is very friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful time absolutely beautiful!
My husband and I spent a week. A much needed and overdue honeymoon. The water was beautiful, the area was peaceful. We had lots of privacy. Everything was easy to get to and easy to find. All the people we met during our stay were very friendly and recommended wonderful places to see and excellent places to eat. We cannot wait to come back.
Our first official trip as a family of 4; overall a great stay, lots of activities for all at the property and around the area. The property manager was very nice. Will stay again if ever in town.
Nice spot convenient to Miami and Key West! I know the seaweed helps with the natural order of things but maybe see about relocating some as the smell was sometimes overpowering to where we didn't want to sit outside when the tide went out. But other than that it was perfect!
Great location…right on its own beach! Communication with the owner and property manager was terrific. Location was perfect for a day trip to Key West or Key Largo! Would stay here again!
