Map & Owner's Profile
"Coconut Key" Tavernier Pool Home Clean and Relaxing
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Tavernier
I've been diving and fishing in this area since the 60's, it is the best location for proximity to oceanside reefs,lobstering and fishing(back country and offshore), sand bars and beaches. Being close to shopping, grocery store and fuel along with being on a very private street helped us make the decision to purchase this house. Making this house available for vacation rental, due to it's great location, was also considered in our decision. Attractions, parks, etc are close by for vacationers that are not water sports enthusiasts.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Early morning coffee on the balcony as the sun rises, lounging on the patio by the pool, barbequeing in the evening with the family and friends. The boat is right there in the backyard ready to go, no long walks out to the dock here!
Incredible store with a restaurant, bar and replica of Ernest Hemmingway's fishing boat "Pilar". An Outdoor World location
Sunset celebration at Mallory Square, lots of interesting characters, acts and arts and crafts

Had a wonderful time at "Coconut Key" house in Tavernier. The house and grounds are very well kept. We watched the sunrise every morning from the decks of this gorgeous home. Enjoyed kyaking and snorkeling right from the boat dock in the backyard. Would love to rent the house again!

My family and I have rented five Keys houses in the Islamorada/Tavernier area over the past ten years ranging from $5k - $10k per week for Mini Lobster Season, and we've never been happier than we were with this house. This place is clean and comfortable inside and out. The kitchens and bathrooms are spotless. The beds are comfortable and clean. The furniture is cozy. The A/Cs are cold, and all the 'extras' like grill, washer/dryer, additional outdoor freezer, etc. all work perfectly. The outdoor furniture is in great condition. The pool is refreshing, and the grounds are meticulous. I'm not sure what was going on during the time of some of the negative comments, but as a hard-to-please group, we were blown away. Rarely are our expectations exceeded in rental houses, but in this case, they were! We haven't even left the place yet, and I'm about to call and reserve for next year.

This home was everything it advertised to be. We had a wonderful week and were very happy with all the amenities in the property. Its warm and well done decor made us feel like we were in our own home. The property owner was very helpful and honest with our contacts with him . We were extremely happy with all our interactions with Val , the property manager. She was very professionalism and personable. Location is perfect. Groceries , movies and other local business are less than a mile driving distance. Tavenier is right in the heart of the upper keys , Key Largo and Islamorada just a few minutes away. Fishing and snorkeling were great. The pool was the best!! We hope to return and would recommend this beautiful home to all my friends.

Our family had a great time while staying at this property. It was excellent to have our boat a few steps from our door. The location was outstanding. Fishing was amazing and even snorkeling in the canal was great. Our girls described the vacation as the best! We would love to come back and make it a family tradition.

Holiday problems

Review Submitted: 03/30/11
Our party of 4 booked for a 4 week stay. On arrival we found the following problems:- 2 dining chairs with legs falling off, cracked glasses, chipped crockery, main oven element broken therefore unusable, holes in very worn bed linen for both master and guest bedrooms, cooking saucepans unusable due to damaged non stick surfaces, no phone although 2 are advertised, BBQ unusable because it would not ignite and was extremely dirty.I have photos as proof. As per the Contract, we notified the owner immediately who advised that the problems would be sorted by his local Assistant. It took until the middle of the third week of our vacation to get all the problems remedied. We had to wait in for the Assistant twice, the cooker repair man twice and once for the phone man. On requesting compensation, the owner's offer was for 1 week's rebate as long as we left the premises at 10.00am the next day! Obviously, there had been no inspection of this property for some considerable time. The first time that the Assistant had ever been in the property was on the Thursday of our first week. In addition, there is a cement works opposite that starts at 7.00 am and is extremely noisy Monday to Friday. We have used VRBO for many years vacationing in the Keys and have never encountered any problems of this kind.
Owner response:William, The Indiana tile guy stayed at the house the 2 weeks prior to your visit. They have stayed the 2 previous years and love the place. I called him when I started receiving complaints from you, my biggest concern was the oven not functioning. I was told his wife baked cookies before they left. The oven repair was started immediately. Waiting for the part was beyond my control. There is an oven in the downstairs efficiency that works fine that could have been used while you waited for the other one to be repaired. The other complaints you had, I was unaware of because my housekeepers had not informed about them. All the complaints were immediately corrected by my new property manager. When talking with my property manager she stated your complaints were a little exaggerated (legs falling off the chairs turned out to be slightly loose legs which were easily tightened) because you didn't want to be blamed for them. I'm thankful that you brought these things to my attention so they could be corrected. I had not been to the house in 4 months and I have terminated my housekeeper and hired a new one. A few things you forgot to mention: The new barbeque delivered in 2 days, all new pots and pans delivered the next day, new dishes,new wine glasses ( of which my assistant found 6 existing when you left, how many wine glasses do 4 people need?), new sheets for the beds (which had been replaced 2 months previous, housekeeper related problem), local phone installed (oversight on my part, everybody has a cell phone). My assistant was available to meet with any of the serviceman that came to the house but you told her it was unnecessary. This house is for people who enjoy a nice setting in the Keys environment. Your party being elderly, non outdoor enthusiasts were unable to appreciate the amenities of the pool, dock and convenience this property has to offer.

This was our second time to stay here, and we definitely want to again in the future. My family of 8 stayed up and my parents stayed in the lower level. We have been coming to the keys for several years and we have found this place to be a great value. The children love the pool, and the ocean views really help make the mornings come alive. We bring our boat, and we can be to the reefs in just a short boat ride. Fishing and snorkling are excellent. Canals are full of lobsters too, but most were too small. There is a cement plant behind the house, but our experiences have shown the neighborhood to be very friendly and quiet. Thanks again for a wonderful stay, and we hope to come back soon!

This was my first trip and vacation at this home. My family and I have stayed at other homes in the area over the years. This was by far the best fit for a small or large family. Pros: Location Pool Clean Up to date fixtures BBQ! Fishing.... Only feet away Cons: Our boat was in for service, so we could not utilize the dock at the home I would highy recomend to others and have booked another trip.

Review of House

This is the first time we have vacationed in the Keys and overall we had a delightful vacation. The owner told us that there were two double beds in the downstairs "in law suite" but he was a little misleading. There are two futons that convert to double beds, which left us searching the house for bedding and making beds after traveling 20+ hours by car to get there (our plane flights were cancelled due to snow/ice storm in the Northeast). This room is probably best used by teenagers. It was not comfortable for us -- 2 adults and 2 kids. Fortunately, the weather was worth our travel by car. It was sunny and in the 80's all week. However, the air conditioner in the downstairs in law suite needs repair. It may work but is too noisy for anyone to stand to have it on more than a few minutes. We ended up uncomfortable a few nights when sleeping but it sure beats dealing with the snow and ice at home. Finally, the home backs up to some sort of industrial business. It is very noisy (loud dumping, truck back up beeping and heavy machinery noises) at the house and the noise starts about 7:00 a.m. Our family that stayed upstairs had no complaints other than the noise. The dock, pool and fish cleaning station were great. You don't need to go far to catch fish. We saw sea turtles and dolphins via our boat not far from the house. The Keys are just beautiful and so relaxing. We will vacation in the Upper Keys again but we plan to rent a different house that will be more comfortable for our family.
Owner response:Kim, Allow me to correct some of your statements: First of all I don't call the efficiency an "In law Suite" , I never have, its not described as such on the website, It's an EFFICIENCY. I also tell prospective renters there 2 "fullsize" beds which are futons. My kids and their friends sleep on them and tell me they are very comfortable. You had your whole family staying in an efficiency sharing 2 beds, no wonder it was crowded. Had you let me know about the A/C downstairs I would have had it fixed immediately. It's been corrected. The house does not "back up " to an industrial business. It is sand supply business that is across the street on the other side of the woods thus making the home private with no neighbors across the street. It may have been busy because of the massive new sewer system being installed on U.S. 1. You can hear the trucks backing up if you have the windows open in the front of the house or if you are in the front of the house but it is unnoticeable in back by the pool and dock where you should be. I'm surprised that you didn't complain about the Garbage trucks that come down the street at 6:30 a.m. three times a week. The location of the business can be seen on the website by viewing the satellite view of the area.

My family and friends loved the house from decor to the location. The downstairs was nice with two familes being there. I went fishing every morning (caught great fish)and was able to return to take everyone snorkeling by noon. The pool was very nice after a day in the sun and saltwater. We never had more that a 30 minute boat ride to deep water to fish or reefs to dive. We are already planning our next trip here. Thanks for a great house, Hunter
