    We spent a week at the Jetson house and absolutely loved it. The views are spectacular and the beach and house are like having your own deserted island. Jerry and Lisa were very friendly and helpful and provided us with loads of recommendations for the area. The apartment itself was immaculate and modern and perfect for a vacation. It is definetly one if the most bueatiful places we have ever stayed and we will be back again soon.

    My husband and I very recently stayed at the Jetson House in Islamorada's Lower Matecumbe Key. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the location and accommodations. Jerry was very helpful and provided us with recommendations on places to eat and things to do while in the area. Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations! The apartment was tastefully decorated, and you just couldn't beat the spectacular view or direct beach access, which we soon found out is a luxury! We have recommended the Jetson House to all of our friends and family! If you are looking for a quiet, romantic beach getaway, this is truly the place to stay!! Thanks Jerry and Lisa! We loved it!

    We enjoyed our stay very much in Lower Matecumbe Key at the Jetson House. Great location on the Gulf side with direct beach access. Windsurfed off the beach right behind the house everyday. Single room apt is very well equipped and great for a couple. The neighborhood is peaceful and nice for walking or bicycling. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and this location is central to the middle keys. We are looking forward to our next stay. The owner was very helpful in explaining the details of the apt and surrounding area. We are looking forward to our next stay.

    My wife and I recently visited the Keys for the first time. We stayed 3 nights at the Jetson House and then headed south to Key West for another 3 nights (Orchid Key Inn - outstanding!) before returning home. The Jetson House was clean, attractive, and adequately furnished (be sure to bring your own soap). We had a pleasant stay, but on our next trip will probably spend more days in Key West. Although the accomodations were very nice, we felt the pricing was high compared to our accomodations in Key West.

    Owner response: There is no comparison at all between Jetson's apartment and a room at Orchid Inn in Key West. The view from the bed at Jetson's apartment is the beach and Florida Bay and the view at Orchid Inn is the wall of the room. Our guests are the only ones on a beach because we own it and Orchid Inn is nowhere near the water. Orchid Inn is located on Duval street and it could get noisy from people partying, the Jetson's House is 1/2 mile off US1 and in a very private neighborhood. Sunsets off the beach, kayaking of the beach, swimming and snorkeling off the beach + dockage for your boat is what you get at jetson's House apartment.

    The apartment is absolutely adorable and very nicely done. The view is spectacular! We just spent a week here and really loved it. Jerry and Lisa were very friendly and helpful. Every thing was immaculate and modern. We've been coming to the Keys for years and I have to say this is one of the best locations we have ever stayed at.

    We were overwhelmed to find such a beautiful little spot, all for us alone. During the last two weeks in May we enjoyed our privacy, got away from it all and above all celebrated unforgettable sunsets with selfmade cocktails on our private beach. The Jetson House was modern, comfortable, well equipped and spotless clean. Jerry, it's owner, was very friendly and helpful and gave us plenty of information on local spots to enjoy. So what else do you expect in paradise?

    This spot was exactly what we were looking for for our honeymoon. My wife and I enjoyed the privacy and the spectacular setting of our private beach with a perfect sunset view. We also enjoyed that we were near to restaurants and things to do, but not in any of the really "touristy" areas of the keys. We had such a great week... we will remember it fondly for the rest of our lives!

    We stayed a week in April 2010. If you love the beach, cherish your privacy, and appreciate good architecture and modern design you'll love, love, love this house! Even though the rental is only the lower level apartment - which is plenty large enough for two - you'll still enjoy floating in the Gulf and looking back at this fabulous house. Jerry and Lisa, the owners, have done a great job stocking the apartment with everything you'll need for your stay - we love to cook and did just fine with all the equipment provided. Comfy bed, great shower, and oh....that beach, your very own beach. Great overall location just down the street from Anne's Beach (if you want to experience the ocean side) and the Islamorada Tennis Club (affordable rates for the week and Gary will match you up with others to play). We ate in mostly after shopping at Publix in Marathon and buying our meats at the Trading Post up the street. We got lobster, shrimp and stone crab from Mr Lobster right around the corner from the house and it was wonderful and affordable. We can't wait to come back!

    We spent two weeks at 'The Jetson House' at the end of September, beginning of October 2009, and had an absolutely wonderful time. Just like other reviewers, we ended up spending relaxing afternoons on the beach chilling out in 90 degree+ temparatures. The property is a large studio, which catered for all our requirements. The bathroom is very modern and spacious, and like whole of the property, spotlessly clean. There is a BBQ at the rear of the property, which we used most evenings, whilst watching the beautiful sunsets. The owner, Jerry, was very helpful with his local knowledge and was available whenever we needed him. This is a wonderful place to get away from everything and to experience your very own private beach. We had such an enjoyable time and, made more new friends, we hope to return soon.

    In September we spent a week at the beautiful Jetson House. The apartment is providing everything you need and is arranged in great detail. The view is outstanding combined with the private beach the Jetson House is an awesome place!. We explored the sourroundings going out with the kayak. Saw nice fish while snorkeling and as we went on planning what to do next we had to face that it was already our last sunset at the wonderful private beach. Jerry, the host, welcomed us very friendly and helped where he could. He also knows a lot about local spots to go to although we didn´t took much advantage of this. Jerry is definetly a reliable and nice person to deal with! Thanks, you´ll hear from us!

    My husband and I stayed at this property during our recent honeymoon (8-24 through 8-31, 2009). It was incredible! The owner's attention to detail is outstanding. The apartment was immaculately clean upon arrival and the furnishings are top notch. There is a very handy remote controlled blind which makes for a dramatic wake up moment. The bathroom is super modern with a beautiful sink. I was most please when an item I needed would cross my mind and I'd open a drawer and there it would be. The owner is very friendly, super- attentive and always willing to please. You will be more than satisfied with your stay. The view of the Florida bay is just wonderful. We sat out every evening and enjoyed the sunset. One evening we were greeted by dolphins as we enjoyed a kayack. We also befriended a manatee. We snorkeled right off the beach and truly enjoyed the water. On land we were thrilled to witness the comings and goings of sand crabs going about their business. We visted several local restaurants and were always happy. The Taveneer was excellent. We also also enjoyed Ma's Fish Camp for casual lunches. Lazy Days was nice. Pierre's was expensive, but lovely. You must hit the Midway Cafe- great breakfast spot. We also enjoyed Mangrove Mike's for breakfast. One of the most enjoyable aspects of Islamorada was the lack of chain restaurants. If you like "local" then you'll love Islamorada. As Buffalo, New York resisdents we really found it hard to leave and have been fanticizing about moving there ever since. If you are interested in scuba diving the folks at Bud and Mary's were very friendly and have everything you need to rent. We dove Aligator Light and had a great time. Look no further. Rent this property. You will be utterly thrilled!

    My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week at the Jetson House. It was just what the DR ordered for a relaxed, quiet escape vacation. The private beach is just amazing, the apartment is perfect for 2 people and the view is astounding. The sunsets are not to be missed!. We watched most from the comfort of the beach chairs provided chest high in the water with drink in hand. Jerry provided great info on the local hot spots and was a wonderful host. You must eat at the Hungry Tarpin atleast once on your visit....food is excellent. I hate to write too many glowing remarks as I want to be able to book again in the future. We'll be going back really soon!

    My partner Steve and myself rented The Jetson house for two weeks over June/July and had the most wonderful time. It really is the coolest house on the block, and having our own personal piece of the beach to watch sunsets and frolicking dolphins just added to the magic. Compact inside without being cramped, the accomodation is perfectly adequate with an extremely comfortable bed and great size shower. Having the kayak was a fun addition though I think should have been included within the price of the rental, as is the gas barbecue and laundry facilities. If we ever return to the Keys it would be to stay back at The Jetsons. No doubt about it.

    We loved our week at the Jetson house - we had planned to go out to dinner at least a few times during our diving trip, but we opted to just "go home" each day and throw some stuff on the grill, sitting outside to watch the sunset and evening thunderstorms off over the Gulf for our entertainment. We opted for the kayak offered by Jerry - enjoyed a few evening paddles through nearby canals and along the shore. We spent many hours occupying the beach chairs with a beverage and a book in hand. Simply lovely spot - quiet, pretty, comfortable, very shallow bay - just tons of fun. Hoping to return soon!

    My wife and I recently spent a week at the Jetson House for a belated honeymoon. The pictures do not do the place justice! The privacy alone was worth every penny! We spent most days relaxing on the private beach, snorkeling (saw a manatee and dolphins), grilling, and kayaking. The owner was friendly and available, and gave us some great advice on area restaurants and activities. The house was first class and perfect for two people. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the keys.

    In our recent stay at the Jetson's house, we had a GREAT time. Everything others had written about the place was true. It is so well-appointed inside and out. Heck, they had even raked the sand on the beach before we arrived! Aside from a brief jaunt down to Key West, we didn't really want to go anywhere else, even though there are plenty of things to do in the area. This spot was so wonderful that nothing else could match it. Our days consisted of kayaking, riding bikes through the local neighborhood, lounging on the rafts in the warm water, reading on the beach, and enjoying evening cocktails while watching the amazing sunsets.

    We just returned from one week at The Jetson's House in March, and agree entirely with all of the other reviews - the only down-side was that one week was not long enough. This is a great home-base from which to experience the rest of the Keys, and then return to the tranquility and serene beauty of this lovely apartment. It is located in a very natural setting in a multi-million dollar area of Islamorada. While the apartment is small, it is perfect for 2 people. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and appointed with all high-end ammenities, and lovingly cared for by the friendly and helpful owners. Wake up in the morning to the gentle sound of the surf and the birds, and then after a perfect day, toast the sunset on your own piece of paradise!

    My boyfriend and I spent a wonderful week towards the end of March in the Jetson's House and we couldn't have been more pleased! We spent a lot of time hanging out on the beach, drinking cocktails and enjoying the sun. No need to deal with the public beaches when you have your own private beach. The house is very clean and has everything you could need for the week! We wouldn't hesitate to come back!

    Beautiful location. Meticulously maintained accommodations. Well planned accouterments and upscale furnishings. Helpful, friendly and informative landlords. These prime ingredients combined to create a relaxing and care-free week of vacation for my husband and myself. In fact, we did not leave the apartment and beach for the first two days. This rental experience exceeded our expectations. We plan to return next year and would not hesitate to recommend the “Jetson House/Apartment” to family and friends.

    This well-appointed property is very suitable for 2 people. You stay in the 'supporting' structure (the apartment) not the large building on top, which is empty and being renovated but only when guests are not in residence in the apartment. Don't let the apparent small size of the apartment put you off, as it is very well equipped with modern devices e.g. HDTV, broiler, microwave, toaster, hi-fi system etc. The washing machine and tumble drier room is accessed by an external door on the side of the building. The apartment is in immaculate condition and it seems as though you are the first people to hire it!! The private beach is just that, with comfortable loungers, chairs and a table for alfresco meals, possibly cooked on the BBQ. There is a small 'reef' close to the beach where tropical fish can be seen. The apartment is in a very quiet area. Plenty of parking in the grounds. The owner - Jerry - is very helpful with a host of knowledge about local interest. We enjoyed staying at Jetsons House very much indeed and have no hesitation in recommending this apartment/beach to all people who like a bit of peace while watching wildlife drift by - pelicans, dolphins, ospreys etc .

    My Fiancee & I arrived on Nov. 1st, 2008, we were married on this private beach on Nov. 4th, 2008. The pictures representing this house do not do it justice. We could not have been happier, everything was absolutely perfect. We have never stayed in a cleaner, more tropical place. the private beach, the snorkling gear, beach chairs, etc... I cannot say enough good things about this place & the landlord. Jerry thank you very muchg for the most perfect vacation & wedding anyone could ever ask for. Thank you again, Matt & Sonja, Lincoln Park, Mi.

    I stayed at the Jetsons house for two weeks during the winter Holidays and it was great. A Beautiful view right from your bed when you wake up, white sandy beach with some of the best Sunsets I have ever seen in my life. Spacious and comfortable living. The place is fully equipped with anything you'd really need and the Owner is very helpful and friendly. Me and my girlfriend will definitely be staying there this summer!

    This was a fantastic place! The apartment was new and clean, and the location was amazing. The beach is of course the main point, and it's right out the door. There are houses on either side, but still plenty of privacy, and the house is on a very mellow dead end road. If you want to just come and sit on the beach for your vacation (and not be bothered by other resort guests or Spring Breakers), this is the place for you. It's also a good geographic location - on the bayside (less wind, and sandy beach), as well as in the middle of the keys, so it's easy to get to some favorite food spots and not too far of a drive from the Miami area (we flew into Ft. Lauderdale, and it took us less than 2 hours to get there). Lastly, the owners are really great - very easy going and nice. I really hope we can come back for another visit - one week was not long enough!

    The Jetson House was well above our expectations. It was very comfortable with fine furnishings and all the amenities needed for a stay at your own private beach! This place is a gem where you can lay in bed and gaze out upon a white sand beach and turquoise waters!! The owner is friendly and full of advice and knowledge about the local sites and amusements.
