Incredible place
If you have a family “chef” with you, they may think the kitchen supplies are a bit lacking but if you've stayed at as many VRBO’s as we have, that can be expected. The bedrooms were fine. Communication with the agent was excellent. The exterior amenities is where this place shines. An incredible pool with spa. Private beach area with fire pit. Awesome gulf views. Awesome sunset views. Outdoor seating area, etc. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone. Plenty of places for kids to play or places for adults to relax

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed the outdoor space and spent little time inside. The pool was large and heated to a comfortable temperature. It felt very private and secluded, but within walking distance of restaurants, mini-mart and activities. We had a great time!

Highly Recommend
Fantastic property. We were a bit concerned at booking because of potential for noise from the marina nearby. This was not an issue at all - no noise at all and the property feels like an isolated oasis, completely surrounded by tropical foliage. Location is convenient to everything. The property was clean, spacious, and well appointed. One minor issue with one of the AC units was addressed quickly and efficiently. We were completely satisfied with our stay, would definitely recommend, and will definitely consider staying again in the future.

We recently booked for our family's annual holiday trip, and it was an absolute delight! The location was perfect, offering stunning oceanfront views that made our stay even more special.
The accommodations were top-notch, with a beautiful pool and spa that provided the perfect relaxation after a day of activities. We loved the variety of amenities available, including kayaks and a volleyball court, which kept everyone entertained and active.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to create lasting memories with our family. I only have positive things to say about our experience, and we can't wait to return next year!

You Won’t Want to Leave the Property 🌴☀️
The pictures really don’t do this place justice! The backyard area is unreal and the views are breathtaking. The house was the perfect size for my family of 8 adults and 1 baby. The separate cottage worked out perfectly for the baby and us! Also really enjoyed kayaking and fishing off the dock. Highly recommend.

Outdoor oasis
Family of 7, plus mom-in-law stayed for a week. Management met us at the home with a tour that relieved a lot of potential for frustration of not knowing how to operate things, or where to find them. Check out instructions were a breeze, unlike other stays that require a lot of clean up requests.
Outdoor activities were awesome, although the beach is not suitable for swimming - It’s loaded with sea grass. Despite not being able to swim, it was still enjoyable to look at while having coffee around the fire pit every morning, or from the pool.
The main home was clean and had a lot of the basics of seasoning and storage containers. Privacy was awesome! Never saw or heard a neighbor the entire time. Door alarms for safety of kids with the pool was a huge bonus.
The mother in law cottage was laid out nice, but had a terrible mildew smell. My kids stunk like a wet basement after sleeping in there. I’m assuming it’s not used much? This is the main reason I would not give 5 starts.
Overall, we would stay here again, but only in the main home.

One of our best vacations ever
This house had something for everyone whether it was exploring by kayaks, snorkeling, playing in the pool or just relaxing under the palm trees. It was also perfect set up for my inlaws to have their own privacy in guest house. The views were spectacular and the pool was nothing short of amazing.

Amazing stay in the Keys
We had an amazing time in the Keys! The house and location were perfect for our family. We had 4 kids ages 6-8 who could have stayed a month! We fished from the dock, saw all sorts of great wildlife and spent countless hours in the pool. The outdoor living area was spacious and the house was extremely well equipped. The location was great with food close enough to walk to or you could easily buzz to dinner up or down the keys. We have already discussed another trip to this house!

Relaxing private location
Great location - very private. Wonderful sunsets each night. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks, pool and hot tub. We ate every meal outside. Great market within at the end of the road with essentials and ice cream treats. Easy walk to the Dolphin Research Center - and could see dolphins jumping from the dock at the house. Guy was very responsive and even came to the house to give us a new volleyball. Great stay - we would be happy to come back!

Wonderful!
This house was perfect for our group of 7. The outside area is gorgeous. The pool and hot tub are beautiful, partially shaded, with plenty of loungers and chairs for relaxing. Everyone loved the kayaks for getting out in the ocean and exploring. Great location to watch the boats coming in and out of the marina, see the dolphin shows from across the bay, and check out the pelicans that hung out just offshore daily.
The tiki/cabana was perfect for morning coffee, card games and shade during the day, and evening dinners watching the amazing sunsets. Made it into Key West twice and found some great waterfront restaurants around Marathon. A week was not enough!

Absolute Paradise!
We had an incredible week, and Guy was so helpful with recommendations for activities and dining! This trip was a birthday gift for me…best birthday ever! Most of our week was spent either in the beautiful pool and hot tub, or snorkeling, playing volleyball, or finding the best Key Lime Pie (S.S. Wreck…within walking distance). Waking up to palm trees and water views from the master bedroom is something I miss terribly now that we’re back in the desert! This rental is worth every penny.

Beautiful property, fabulous time!!
We had a fantastic stay. The outdoor areas including the pool and hot tub are so beautiful. The views from the kitchen and living room are breathtaking. There are a few areas inside that could use a little refresh but we truly spent every waking minute outside so that didn’t matter. And the property manager, Guy, was so friendly and very responsive. All in all, a really memorable week!
