My family enjoyed this home. It is in a great location on a canal, allowing easy access to the bay and the ocean by boat. The house is well furnished, especially the kitchen! Renting the home was easy and Chely was very quick to answer any questions. The neighbors were very friendly. We enjoyed several visits from the manatees. A relaxing soak in the hot tub was a nice way to end the day.

Perfect Getaway

This was way too easy! This was our first time renting a house. From the start Chely answered all our questions and we agreed on the dates for our stay. When we got there, the house was very welcoming and instantly we were on vacation. After unloading we went down to Founders Park and were able to put our boat in the water and bring it back to the canal and the house. The house is perfectly situated in a very quiet neighborhood yet we had easy access to shopping centers, marinas, and anything else that we needed. For those that have want to bring a boat, the house is on the bay side with easy access to the reefs and ocean through Tavernier, Snake Creek, and Whale Harbor. We went down with teenagers and the house was large enough so that everyone felt comfortable and had plenty of family time. There was plenty to do and areas to just hang out and do nothing at all. The weather was great and we were able spend time on the ocean and the bay every day fishing and hanging out. The kitchen was well equipped. The only regret is that we did not book another week. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to relax and get away body and soul. Thanks Chely for a great vacation.

The house is located on a nice canal and makes you feel like you are on vacation as soon as you arrive. The screened upstairs porch is a great place to relax and watch the action, while the hot tub was a wonderful way to end each day. The beds were comfortable as were the couches and seating area. Having a computer to use was an extra bonus. And we appreciated have a W/D as well. The negatives for us were the lack of reading lamps in the living room and bedrooms, and we ate almost all meals at the house and could have used a better selection of cooking utensils. Lastly, it was a on the cool side during our week, but if it had been warmer we would have wanted to have kayaks to use from the dock, but there really wasn't a way to get in and out of the water from the dock. Chely, was great to work with and very patient in answering all my questions. There is a nice shopping center less than 2mi. away with grocery, drug store and movie theatre. Sadly, we did not see any manatees.

Owner response:We take great pride in our vacation home and the wanderful amenities it has to offer. We encourage our guests to call us with any concern or problem they encounter during their stay. Any utencils if missing or needed get replaced as per needed basis and reading lamps will be added in the master bedroom as they do exist in the other 2 bedrooms. Thank you very much for your helpful comments. Sincerely, Chely.561-212-0755

This place is the absolute perfect getaway! From the moment we arrived, we felt comfortable and cozy in the home! All of the amenties are there: roomy bedrooms with lovely decor, wonderful smells, bright paint, airy back yard with hot tub for soaking away our cares. The kitchen is ample to cook or simply prepare yummy snacks and relax. We enjoyed watching movies on the big screen TV. The location is perfect, just as you cross into the really nice part of the Keys, so not too far but just far enough. Lovely and functional! Thanks for having us!

With the wind blowing hard all week and not a lot fishing time, we at least made the best of it with a beautiful place to stay, hang out and relax. The house was beautiful with plenty of room and pretty much all the amentities needed to have a great time. We caught tarpon off the dock and fed manatees fresh water. The hot tub was amazing and got to enjoy a few cocktails at night while watchng the sunset. The canal has perfect access to the bay and ocean side as well. I would definitely recommend staying here. Great place for a great price!!!
