We stayed here last February and had the most wonderful vacation. The property was clean and well appointed. We arrived to a newly tiled living area which was done in good taste and made the condo even more bright and open than the pictures show. A very pleasant surprise. During our stay, the owner was reachable and very responsive. He was pleasant, professional and insured that all our needs were met.

A nice place to stay

This condo is an end unit on the property closest to the water. It has an unobstructed view of the ocean just past the forest of mangroves. You can see water from all the windows which was nice. My husband and I enjoyed watching the sun come up while having coffee on the small balcony most mornings. This unit is very comfortable and has some very nice amenities like a keyless entry and in unit internet access. It is on the second floor and just a short stairway up and down. We were a little disappointed in the stained rug, but the owner is aware of this and is planning to update. The owner is very courteous and is very helpful with questions or requests. This condo is in such a nice location in the Keys. We enjoyed snorkeling and parasailing, had a awesome time sportfishing in Islamorada, and enjoyed day trips to the Everglades and Key West.

A very enjoyable family vacation

We had a great time at this Ocean Ponte condo. All was exactly as described in the website, and the owner was straightforward, easy to deal with, and quite honest. The condo itself was in the perfect location; it was on the very end of the building, which meant that we had a view of the ocean from every window, unlike most of the other, interior, condos. I'd really recommend this particular condo for that reason over any other. The thick walls made it particularly quiet--we never heard any neighbors. Internet access was easy and fast, the kitchen was well stocked with cups, plates, and cooking utensils. Also, the keyless entry made getting in and out a breeze as we didn't have to worry about where the key was.

The best of the upper Keys is found in this location. Access to all activities and shops with day trips to Key West or middle Keys made easily. Nice accomodations at a more than reasonable rate.

Best location in complex!

By far, this condo is situated in the best spot in the entire complex. Being an end unit, it has the best view available of the beautiful, blue ocean and marina, but also close to pool, tennis courts and grills. We loved that the staircase was so close to the unit that we didn't have to access the elevator at all. The condo was spacious and well-equipped. Very comfortable for our family of four. The complex offered easy access to several area beaches and parks, not to mention Dairy Queen! We loved our vacation and thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven in the Keys!

What a lovely property! The last couple of years I was in the US, I found a lot of properties and hotels very "gone glory". Chipped paint, used carpet etc. But not this one! I wish I could have stayed longer. The resort was beautiful and felt very safe. Everything was well maintained and although there were a lot of people, you never felt crowded nor at the pool nor at the beach. The owner was very prompt in replying (even with the time difference!) and I would def. recommend this place for a family holiday. One tip though, bring very strong insect repellent because at 8PM the musquitos seem to enjoy to party around you! This was a bummer as we Europeans love to eat outside! If you get a chance, go to the "Theater of the Seas" and if you have more time, Key West is worth the 2 hour drive!

A good place to land!

This condo is a winner. The views are great (marina from the bedrooms and ocean from the dining/living area). The condo was quiet and the one common wall in the unit is a hallway/living room wall, so even if you happened to have loud neighbors on the side (ours were fine) the bedrooms would still be quiet. The condo was clean and well outfitted. In-unit hi-speed wi-fi worked fine. I was told by management that only about 10 of the units in Ocean Pointe have in-unit broadband internet and it's important for us when we travel. We could not extract our daughters from the pool. It's nicer than we had expected. There was one day that we were Scuba diving in the morning and wound up spending the afternoon playing at the pool. We were so pruned! Location is central to most everything. It's a quick trip up to Key Largo for diving or watersports, and a quick trip down to Islamorada for sport fishing or dinner at the Islamorada Fish Company (they feed the resident tarpon at 8:00). The owner was very professional and responsive. Booking, details, and even the security deposit refund went smoothly. There are a few updates that would be nice (older living room sofa, damaged/missing window screens), but the owner is aware of these and they presented no inconvenience to us on our visit.

Owner response:We will be updating the mentioned items this summer during our maintenance visit. We make every attempt to keep our property as one of the premier in the area and always welcome feedback.

We had a wonderful stay. The condo is fully equipped with everything you need and has a great view of the ocean. We could not have asked for a better vacation.

We were very happy in this lovely condo. We had the sunrise through the bedroom window, watched the sun coming up as we made coffee & sat out on the little balcony to watch the sun on the water & the boats going by. We could even see the sunset !! The condo was very comfortable & quiet. no neighbor noises . The pool area is a big plus . Agood size pool for swomming laps & one end for little children. It was immaculately maintained. The flowers around the driveways & entrances were so delightful to see- especially coming from a snow covered climate. We could walk to a very nice public park & beach & marina which is another asset. All in all , we thought it was PERFECT.

So comfortable, light, airy, and a great jumping off point for snorkeling, fishing, and escapades to Key West and the Everglades. We had a blast. The condo is beautifully situated, and I could've happily lived at the pool.

Excellent. Everything is as they say it is. The views, location, amenities are wonderful. The property is well maintained, the home is a home with all the amenities. We enjoyed the setting and the location in the keys. It definitely would be a place to land for living or retirement.

This condo has it all! It's one of the best situated in the entire Ocean Pointe resort area and the views are great. It has all the comforts of home, is nicely layed out and we enjoyed the great views of the Atlantic Ocean from our second floor level. The living area is clean, light and refreshing. The grounds are nicely maintained and include a beautiful swimming pool that is larger than most. Just a real nice place to be for relaxation and easy access to fine dining close by. My wife and I totally enjoyed our stay at Boater's Dream even without a boat of our own. Also, the owners could not have been more accommodating. Highly recommended.
