The title says it all, we just keep coming back. Betty is a pleasure to deal with and the manatees coming right up to the dock keep our dog entertained. Highly recommend.
This was my third year now staying in this property. The owner is so very pleasant. I will go back year after year. The property is so close to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. I'm also able to fit my boat in the water in the canal directly behind the house, which makes for easy water fun. Just an incredible incredible experience year after year.
This property is awesome. This is the second year now I have stayed there and it only keeps getting better. So much fun that I have already reserved next April. the property has lots of amenities. Close to stores, shopping, and great restaurants etc. For me personally being able to have my boat right downstairs is the best. Thank you Betty for another great vacation home.
This is our third January staying here. It now feels like home. Love the manatees coming right up to the bulkhead to visit and weve had dolphins in the canal as well. Betty is a dream to work with, no problems there. We recommend highly.

Decent house, experience soured by host’s behavior
The house is pretty good, nothing fancy but it’s in a decent neighborhood and it is more or less as described. What really hurt our experience was that, upon arrival, multiple kitchen appliances were dirty, clearly not cleaned since the last guest. We sent photos and videos to the host and then spent close to two hours cleaning them ourselves. When the host replied, she was in disbelief and told us we were wrong and that there was no way the kitchen was like that. We told her it wasn’t a huge deal, we just requested a small reimbursement for the time (on our vacation) we had to spend cleaning. She then implied we made the mess ourselves, even though it was like that when we checked in. She then refused to discuss the issue any further. Overall, we found her behavior and communication highly unprofessional.
Had a wonderful time and the owner got right back with us on any questions we had. We brought our boat and went out on it almost everyday. The boatlift was an extra bonus. The house had everything we needed and was really nice. We hope to come back again.
We can only say good things about our stay! Manatees at the dock! Access to the open water is so simple. Fishing at the dock. Relaxing vibes from day one. Dont forget the peaceful sunsets at the pier...Just amazing! We are definitely coming back next year!

The property was amazing. The location was awesome. We had every amenity that we needed. The owner was absolutely fantastic. My entire group had an amazing trip. We will definitely would love to rent this property again in the future
Our second visit and we will continue to come back. Great location, the manatees visit right at your dock and plenty of opportunities for birding. Betty is a pleasure to deal with. 5 stars.
This was our second year staying, and wow - it was so hard to leave. We love the private beach. It’s the perfect spot for kids to snorkel in shallow water and see tons of fish! My kids also love fishing in the canal right from the house - it’s so easy and they caught a lot. The neighbors are friendly and welcoming. The canals are a great spot for kayaking and seeing mullet, manatees and tarpon. We also love to paddle across the bay into the mangrove tunnels, which feel magical. Key Largo is a great place to stay if you want to explore the Everglades and lower keys. We really enjoy snorkeling, kayaking and hiking at Pennekamp State Park, which is only a few minutes from the house. The house itself is well stocked and comfortable. We really can’t wait to go back.
Amazing! Owner was super friendly and easy to communicate with, answering questions and general information. Quiet and friendly neighborhood and location was superb. There are several restaurants and water related activities nearby. Although my primary reason to stay there was work related, I took advantage of the free time to enjoy it. Definitely recommend and will be back as soon.
Absolutely loved staying at this beautiful home and Betty was super responsive and attentive to our needs and requests. We had the best experience and this home made our summer vacation perfect. The home had everything we could ever need, fully stocked kitchen, the downstairs had an ice machine and extra fridge and lots of space to run around and keep our 3 year old entertained. The lift came in super handy as we brought our boat. The private beach was our fave too. Can’t wait to be back and experience this piece of paradise again.
Great location for relaxed stay in the FL keys. Friendly neighborhood is a mix of locals and week-end second homes. Neighborhood has private beach, a great feature given the lack of beach access in the keys. Easy boating. access to bay and open waters. Good set up for your boat with boat-lift on your private dock. House is comfortable and well equipped, only needs upgraded bedsheets and towels. Overall great rental.
We had a wonderful month in Key Largo. Betty is a dream to work with and the house delivered as promised. We loved the manatees that swam up the canal to visit and the beach was perfect for birding. We had an easy time getting up to the Everglades and down to Islamorada and Key West. We truly hated to leave and will be going back. If you visit be sure to try Hobo's Cafe, the food is delicious!
Our time at the property is something we’ll always treasure. Our family and friends made so many happy memories fishing in the canal, playing games, enjoying the private beach, paddling to the mangrove tunnels, watching the manatees, and just relaxing in this sub-tropical paradise.
My family and I had a great time staying here. The owner was always quick to respond and the property is in a terrific location. We could not be more pleased with the whole experience.
The property was very clean, well situated and fully equipped. In fact, each of the bedrooms and the living area had flat screen cable televisions. Shopping and dining were easily accessible. The canal was alive with fish and bird life and we looked forward to manatee watching every day.
Property is nice, great location, great access to water and Key Largo activities. Enjoyed the peaceful nights.

Do not recommend
We were there for family gathering n hoped to enjoy the experience of the keys. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day early due to amount of mosquitos in the area and inside the house. Yes, the house will impress u with its cleanliness but without telling you how many bugs are infested inside. Our first approach was seeing roaches crawled from the kitchen. The house located next to a huge swamp where mosquitos are visible all day, the canal is very dirty and sorrounded by not too impressive mobile homes. We were bitten by mosquitos everywhere inside and outside the house. We left the house with some minor things like a few water bottles in the balcony, 1 lobster left heated in the microwave, and extra trash were bagged outside the bin since it was full before our arrival. All the linens were folded, beds were made, bathrooms were cleaned and wiped, dishes/stove were cleaned, n floor was swept. We left with minor maintenance for the clean lady knowing we paid for it. The owner, Betty, had the nerve to call and bitched like we have done major damages to the house. She was very rude and without considering I was nice in the beginning to let her know that we had to leave early due to mosquitos n never thought about writing a review. It's ridiculous that the owner didn't call for pest control prior to our arrival and apologized after I told her. So don't waste your money here and it's not what u see in the pics. Btw, you can't swim in the private beach and no one was there. The local residents warned us of mosquitos and told us not to swim when we tried to go out there at 5PM. So nothing was good here n we ended booked rooms at the resort which is 2 miles away. I wasted my time and money here!!!
