About this property

One of the very few beach houses with a daily, rental license in the Keys.

This is a newly remodeled four bedrooms elegant house. The property located in the heart of Summerland Key. It is the perfect Key for a vacation getaway. Summerland Key is an island in the lower Florida Keys about 20 miles east of Key West. The island has a private airport located 3 blocks from the house. The airport can be used by the guests of the house. Summerland is the perfect spot for fishing, hiking, boating, kayaking, and cycling. There is an oceanfront pool, where you can soak up the sun just steps from the house all year round. Breathtaking views of the crystal blue ocean and sunsets can be seen throughout the property. Dine outside with island vibes under the tiki hut. The house also includes a billiards table in the carport. Disclaimer: THE DOCK is a solid steel located in a deep water canal with a 6' control draft, it was recently rebuilt.

Do not stay here !!!!
House is not a four bedroom, the pool is not fabulous or perfectly heated (no heater), the pool table is so old and warped and the slab has two big bumps so the balls jump not playableNo oven so we could not make the food we had and the air fryer doors did not close without a tie wrap on them. Not enough hot water for two people to take a shower. The so called fourth bedroom is the sun pouch off the master upstairs, so you have to go thru someone bedroom to go down stairs. What about the office space did not see it? The list had hot tub? did take if off after I asked about it. This was my first time using Vrbo not sure if will do it again thank you sherry

Beautiful rental, but read details closely
Our family of 10 stayed here the week of Christmas 2024 and the entire process went smoothly with excellent communication with the host prior to our stay. The property was immaculately maintained, plenty of room for all and we enjoyed every minute.The bedroom layout isn’t what many would expect. It was disclosed, but somehow I missed it. The entire second floor is accessible by winding staircase, but is more like a loft (no noise protection from the first floor) and the “fourth bedroom” is really a connected sun room with glass door off the loft bedroom. To access it or use the second floor bathroom, you have to walk past the people sleeping in the primary room. Thankfully our adult daughter slept in that room, but it would be awkward if not REALLY close with the people sharing the second floor.Additionally, check in is 5pm and check out is 9am sharp…it’s posted as before 9am in the rental. We were very lucky to be able to check in at 3pm (I asked the hostess prior if there was any wiggle room. Luckily the cleaning company had finished early) And lastly, there is no full sized oven. Most people going on vacation would not really care, but I had planned an extensive Christmas menu. There is a mid-size countertop oven, but it could not fit the ham or be able to bake multiple pies. With some last minute changes and a quick run to the grocery store, Christmas dinner was a success.

Great house. A bit far from Key West.
The house itself is pretty much as advertised. We selected it for the two master bedrooms. However, as others have noted, the second floor master bedroom is not very private. As we were all family it worked for us. We had a few maintenance issues, but the property manager was very prompt to take care of them. Overall, the host was very nice. For us, the biggest negative was the distance from Key West. It was advertised to be 20 minutes. Rechecking on Google Maps shows that it is 30 minutes from the edge of Key West island and about 40 minutes from most Key West tourist attractions. If you just want to hang around Summerland Key and enjoy the house and pool, this is a great choice.

Summerland key
Our trip was supposed to be a boys fishing trip but that was derailed by the hurricane. We were not able to reschedule the trip so my wife and I decided to come down for a private retreat. The house is much more than two people need but we had a great time. The morning views are spectacular. The only thing I would change would be the addition of a full size oven for those who like to cook at the house.

False advertising
The pictures of this home do not show an accurate showing. 1. This house doesn’t have a beach 2. This is really a 3 bedroom with a sitting room in one bedroom with beds in it. 3. There are a couple of doors that are delaminating and the door knob falls off the master bedroom when using it 4. The shower handle falls off when turning the water on. 5. The air conditioner had a hard time keeping up and ran 24/7 6. I could go on and on there is one positive note the property manger was very nice.

Beautiful view with lots to offer families
We stayed here with another family, so we had a total of 13 people. The view is beautiful. The pool and tiki hut and pool table are was awesome for our family to hang out. It doesn’t have any shade right by the pool but the tiki hut and pool table area were shaded. The second king bedroom is upstairs after walking up spiral staircase. There is no private door- it’s kind of like a loft. And then there’s a bunk room that is off of the king bedroom upstairs so if you want privacy, good luck. The 2 bedrooms on the first floor are private. Overall, we loved the house, but it was a lot of money to just have some things not be quite right.

The house is in a great location just far enough off US 1 to be quiet with a terrific view, but easy for local trips or runs down to key west. The bedrooms and baths make it comfortable for a family or a larger group and the patio outside is fantastic.

Okay but Pricey
This house is definitely in need of some updating. The kitchen cabinets are old and worn. The exterior of the house also needs some repairs. Honestly I could overlook if I’d paid half the amount. The price seems extremely high for this property. The beds were comfortable but nothing else was. The couches were terribly hard and rigid. The patio furniture was also uncomfortable. The table under the tiki hut was almost ready to fall apart. The dock is definitely unusable. No handrails and barely reaches the edge of the water. Disappointed we couldn’t use it for fishing. I couldn’t smell chlorine in the pool but we did take time to skim and clean it. Dipped our toes in but no hand rails or depth marking if you have kids. The bathrooms were fairly nice. The floors are white marble tile and seem dingy with age. I’m not saying it wasn’t clean, it was. It just wasn’t the luxury I expected for this price. Also you are near a bridge on Route 1 so there is road noise. I just wanted to leave an honest and candid review for future renters.

Great for Adults only or Families
We rented this home for an adults only trip to the Keys. It was a mix of related and not related couples, but we had a blast and everyone had space. The second room only having access through the master worked for us since we had related people on the trip, but it was a minor inconvenience and we knew about it when we booked. If you had young kids with you, it would probably be a great fit. We brought bikes and had fun exploring Summerland. The tiki bar (Tonio's) is walking distance and a great little hangout. There are lots of other places 5-10 min drive. Key West is about 30 mins and Ubers are expensive, so just plan on that if you're going to party there. Owner was supportive and great to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again for adults only or with kids.

Amazing property!
We had a group of 10 people and every single person enjoyed their stay at this property. The property was amazing, very clean and had everything you could need for your stay. The location was perfect, there was multiple gas stations/ restaurants in the area. The host was very responsive and left champagne, chocolates, and flowers for our stay. I definitely would recommend this property to anybody looking for a nice spot to vacation in the keys and I will definitely be booking again in the future.

Key west trip
Overall the property was beautiful and In good condition ..there was only 2 problems we encountered…. Not a great location If you are there for Key West.. The property manager stated in our messages that it would be 20-25 minutes to downtown key west and it ended up being 40-45min drive which was very inconvenient. Another thing is the pool will turn your hair green if you have lighter hair so be cautious of that if you are going to be swimming in the pool a lot. Other than the location and my hair turning green the property itself was good.

What makes this property unique

Florida Keys are famous for the most beautiful sunsets. The view of sunrise and sunset from the house is breathtaking and mesmerizing. You can experience absolute tranquility by watching sun rising over the ocean from the house porch. At night you can do stunning stargazing since the property is secluded. The combination of the soothing sounds and ocean breeze makes it the most romantic tropical gateway.
