Great location. Great value

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.

Keys Vacation

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!

Don't count on being able to swim

It was certainly pleasant. I was disappointed that the beach was not conducive to swimming, given the rocks and debris.

Great Beach House!

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!

A perfect home base to explore the keys!

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.

Our week in the Key’s!!!

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.

Long overdue honeymoon

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.

Great little spot

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!

Grassy Key

A great little place to stay for our week in the Keys

Andy was quick to respond, which was helpful. This unit was clean and comfortable and was well-stocked with everything we could need. Comfortable bed, nice comfortable sofas, and the most breaktaking views of the morning sunrise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay we only wished it was longer.

Great Stay on the ocean

Great place, it was roomy, clean and the kitchen was well equip. Lots of towels. We enjoyed ourselves. Only complaint was lack of toilet paper, we were supplied with 3 rolls for a weeks stay with 4 people. Not a huge deal but I wish we had known prior to arriving.

Great Location and awesome place

It was beachfront! The beach is large and beautiful. Not many places in the Keys have a beach and the beach was awesome! It was clean, bed was comfortable and the location was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The place had just about everything needed. All the basics. Lots of towels both kitchen and bathroom. They had lots of beach and deck chairs, chair cushions, coolers, and kayaks. I don’t have any complaints. We couldn’t have asked for more. We would gladly stay here again.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect spot in the Florida Keys. Very quiet and not far from the mainland yet also close enough to key west for day trips. The beach is amazing and the fishing in marathon is exceptional. Very special place.
