I wanted to send along a little note to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Paradise Cove this year. We consider the Keys as our second home. Paradise Cove is truly a delight for both of us and our friends who have been joining us on vacation for many years. We especially enjoy the obvious pride you take in maintaining the estate in excellent condition. It is a privilege for us to be able to share your treasure. All the best for a great summer,

This property is absolutely gorgeous. It has everything you could want in a holiday home. The location, the decor, and amenities are first rate and we would recommend it to everyone. The owners are delightful and were very accommodating; we were welcomed with a complete tour of the house and all it has to offer. Everything about the house is beautiful, the decoration, the views, the pool, and location all made for an exquisite holiday. We would love return again.

Owner response:I could not have said it better - this is such a special property and house but Debbie's review says it all. Thank you Debbie for taking the time to submit a review.

Who knew that the rich and famous lifestyle included comfort, peace, and a casual sense of family in an incredible elegant environment? The listing did not even begin to equal the beauty of the property and the warmth and humor of the hosts--Wendy and Tifis. Thanks from all of us for everything!! Sue

Owner response:Thanks Sue for taking the time to review us - I can't wait till your group comes back again - what a pleasure to have met all of you. I am always welcoming of the praise we receive from our guests at Paradise Cove especially when expressed so well. Thanks again - Wendy

Saying thank you seems inadequate. We enjoyed Paradise Cove tremendously and also your kindness. Appreciate your "educational trip" and delicious papaya from the property. Wish we could stay a month - my daughter Karen said "that echoes our heart's desires". May the good Lord Bless and keep you both through the days to come. Peace, joy and love abound in your lives and home. With Sincere Appreciation

We had a great time at Paradise Cove. The house was beautiful and very convenient to the many sites we visit, e.g.: Miami's South Beach, Harry Harris State Park, Key West. We also took tour of the Glass Bottom Boat. The seafood and BBQ restaurants were excellent. The people in Key Largo are very friendly and courteous. Best Wishes

I wanted to thank you for such a fabulous vacation. We'll remember this trip forever. You are incredibly gracious hosts and your property is impeccable. The girls now refer to Paradise Cove as their "Florida House". I look forward to a repeat visit. I think the girls will enjoy it even more next time. Take care

I can't tell you enough how much we enjoyed your lovely home and property. This has to be one of the best locations in all of the Keys. You have done a fabulous job on the building and landscape. My whole family enjoyed it. Kemper didn't want to go home - he wanted to stay. Tifis was very helpful on my boat problems, which I really appreciated. Nancy really enjoyed talking to Wendy. The pictures on the internet don't begin to do the property justice. The views and the home were more and better than my expectations. Again, we really enjoyed it! Hopefully we will be back someday soon... Thanks!

From our guest book: Well, What can one say? This house and the housekeepers have to rate as one of THE BEST places to stay worldwide. I have spent a lifetime in hotels and villas of 5 star quality that do not match the standards of this lovely home. WE WILL BE BACK. You are nice people to know.

From our Guest Book: We traveled from South Carolina, from the Capital of Lake Murray, Chapin. We are fisherman at heat but never this big or this powerful. We are used to fresh water large mouth bass. We had a wonderful time in your lovely inviting home. It truly is a home away from home, less the Children. Your home is beautiful. The Florida Keys are one of our favorite vacation spots. We will be back to see ya'll soon. You ever up for a freshwater fishing experience on Lake Murray, Look us up.
