Just perfect!!

Loved, loved the house!! It was just perfect for us and our friends. The house was well equipped and we did not want for anything. Called our hosts a couple of times with questions and they got back with us promptly. We could not have asked for nicer accommodations or hosts.

Comfortable

We had a great time. Matt was very helpful and gave us a lot of good info on the area and places to fish. We needed a place to unwind and relax and this was the perfect place. The house was clean and well stocked. We grilled and hung out down stairs. The hammocks and hanging chairs are very cool place place to relax. The beds are so comfortable it’s hard to get up and go fishing. If you go definitely check out Generations Produce and Seafood on Rt. 1 on Big Pine. Thanks Matt

Nice home in a friendly and quiet neighborhood. House was clean, kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. Matt - the owner was very responsive to any questions. Great amenities including kayaks, bikes, grills, fish cleaning station, washer and dryer etc. Key deer visit everyday. 45 minutes to Key West, 20 minutes to Marathon. Would definitely stay here again.

Fish Haven

We had a great time at Matt’s place. The house is in a great location in the lower keys. You’re close to awesome restaurants, marinas, dive, and tackle shops. We had everything we needed and were able to keep our boat right outside the house on the canal with easy access to the Atlantic. Looking forward to another stay!

House was perfect

The house was perfect. Plenty of room and had everything needed. Mathew was very friendly and checked in to make sure everything was ok. Close enough to everything to go see the sights but far enough away for total relaxation. We will be going back to this house for sure.

Great place for nature lovers

We really enjoyed the week we spent on big pine key. The house was great and had everything we needed. It's just a short walk or kayak out to view beautiful sunsets, and in the early mornings and at dusk we were visited by several adorable key deer. There are some hiking trails on the key a short drive away, and don't miss blue hole for great wildlife viewing. It's also a great location for visits to Bahia Honda, key west, etc. Matt was great and very responsive to all our questions throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property. If you're looking for a peaceful place off the beaten path, this is it!

Awesome fisherman/nature lover hangout

Great location for everything. Groceries down the street, nature trails with in a bike ride, Key West, equal access to bay or stream, clean accommodations, key deer awaiting your arrival (say hello to Scar when you get there), etc. Would absolutely recommend and looking forward to our next booking.
