Our third time staying here was as wonderful as the first two. So peaceful and comfortable. All the comforts of home, close to grocery, restaurants and pharmacy if needed. It’s just the best place to stay when escaping the northern states for a little warmth and sunshine in mid winter. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else in the Keys.This place is our favorite of favorites!
This property is a hidden gem. Right on the water. Great communication from the owner. Super clean. Loaded kitchen with everything you would need to cook in. Great dock area for your boat and tons of hoses and cleaning stations.
I don’t want to say how beautiful and comfortable this was. Iam afraid it will be always be booked when I want to visit.
Okey, it was wonderful. Very clean, peaceful.
We rented the down stairs and our friends rented upstairs. Everything was as advertised and very clean. They had everything we needed. Plenty of linens and kitchen supplies. The outdoor space is perfect! We will definitely be back
Great property and location. The cottage was fabulous. Clean and I felt at home. This was our first time staying at VRBOand it was great experience. Highly recommended this property.
Great property directly on the Atlantic side in Islamorada. We stayed in the ground floor unit, there is a ground and upper floor unit. The unit was spacious and comfortable. Wonderful dock to fish from, took the complimentary kayak out for a paddle. The grounds are plenty spacious for groups staying at both units. So many places to eat in a short drive, bait shop was 3 blocks down the street. Absolutely great stay, try it out!
absolutely a fantastic place and what a great time we had. we had fresh fish every day for dinner. and lobster one day for lunch. all caught by our boys.
hope to go again this fall
My husband & I stayed here for a week in Nov. 2023 and it was absolutely wonderful! We fell in love with the property & location. The house is absolutely as advertised - very clean and well-equipped and comfortable. The property is quite large and spacious, and as a result it is very relaxing and private. We enjoyed all of the amenities provided, such as the bicycles & kayaks. There is quite a bit of interesting wildlife (birds, tarpon, etc.) to watch while here. We also enjoyed walking to many places in Islamorada. It's nice being not directly on US-1 (quieter), yet close to so many options for dining, shopping, etc. We would love to return!
There aren’t enough positive things to say about our time here! The house is absolutely perfect! You couldn’t ask for a better view- the house was well stocked with everything and spotless! This was a hard vacation to end for sure! We can’t wait to come back- many thanks to the wonderful hosts for everything they do!
Great little place right on the ocean. Excellent place to come if you have a boat, with a boat ramp and a beautiful dock. We caught fish right off the dock! The place is just as described, very clean. The outside is spacious and plenty of room for your toys. The hosts were very gracious and communicated quickly. I can’t say one bad thing about it. We thoroughly enjoy our stay. The only thing that would have made it better is a pool.
This place was absolutely perfect! Spotlessly cleaned, comfortable, and on the MOST beautiful property. The owners are insanely nice & responsive. We will be staying here again, that is for sure!
My family and I had a great time. The owners of the property were amazing and quick to respond to any inquiry we had. Really could not think of anything more that they could have provided. The home was exceptionally clean and it's location was optimal. Will definitely be booking at this location again. Thanks again for everything Pablo and Carmen! From Roger Reyes.
This venue is perfect in so many ways for everything you could want from boating to traveling, once arrived you don’t even need the car to get around everything is in walking distance and it’s safe to ride bike take a run or walk to local pub.
Has the perfect dock for a good size boat and the views are ace.
The accommodation is clean, and modern with good size rooms, even the shower a walk in you can shower all the kids and some.
Easy access down stars with a supper cool area to hang out at night with breeze blowing.
We did sun rise every day and then on the boat just 10 mins ride to the reef.
Local fishing is perfect and we enjoyed some great local food and again you can walk.
The place has gates on the front drive and it is very private not over looked, great size yard, for the kids , bikes kayaks and a cool place with a freezer to keep fish and bait.
Everything works and you can tell the owners are upgrading and improving, the grounds and dock are clean clean.
This place is under the radar highly recommended , thanks to the owners for 100% on time communication , supper easy check in and ready to go
Enjoy happy days
Immaculately clean property. Having the ramp and trailer parking on property was super convenient. Within walking distance of restaurants and shopping, we will definitely be booking again!!
