Spectacular view. Secluded, private, quiet, one half mile from the Highway in the North Key Largo Hammocks State Park, this cabin fronts on the John Pennekamp with a gorgeous ocean view. From this tranquil setting, you are a short distance from everything you could want in south Florida and the Keys. You are five miles north of the John Pennekamp facilities. Only minutes from dive shops, fishing camps, water-sports, etc.
A super market grocery store is a short three mile drive south. Miami Airport is 45 minutes north. Everglades National Park is less than a hour. Key West is a beautiful two hour sunrise drive to the south across islands and bridges. Take a day trip to the south west coast of Florida along the Tamiami Trail past Shark Valley and the Big Cypress National Preserve. The Beach is Coral Rock and not sandy. There are paths and title pools.
We have two canoes and one two person kayak for the many water trails.

THE BEST way to enjoy the Keys with kids. From the ultra comfy beds to the beautiful ocean views, this place is is top notch. Want to snorkel, fish, kayak, go crabbin' or get a few lobster(when in season)? Just walk out the back gate! Want to be a tourist? Just drive a few miles to Pennekamp and rent a boat, snorkel, scuba dive, and more! Excellent restaurants are minutes away, and if you really want to cook for yourself, Winn Dixie and Publix are close by too! Peter was a wonderful host, and had great tips on Key Largo's best everything. I have 3 kids ages 6, 8, and 10 and I can honestly say they were all happy! And never bored! We are going to make this an annual event. Enjoy and watch out for land crabs! :-)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

There are just too many wonderful things to say about this house and the owner MaryAnn. Our family had an amazing time! The house is clean and well maintained. The beds are comfy and the view of the ocean is incredible. The kitchen is well equipped and had everything you would need to prepare meals for your family. I have two boys ages 12 and 7, and they NEVER wanted to leave the house. They spent their mornings wading the coastline during low tide and climbing on the coral rocks. Afternoons were filled with snorkeling, kayaking and feeding the fish in the canal. You see all sorts of wild life here; iguanas, nurse sharks, barracuda, lobsters, crabs, pelicans, Egrets and a wide array of tropical fish - just to name a few! MaryAnn and Lucy made our stay so wonderful...we really felt at home. If you are wanting a quiet get-away that is both beautiful and peaceful - then this is the place to go. We will be visiting again - and hopefully soon! :)PS..A special thank you to MaryAnn and Lucy who saved our vacation and turned it into a wonderful family memory! We will always be grateful to both of you. Also, MaryAnn the boys said they LOVED the Wild Bird Sanctuary and Bahia Honda Beach!! :) We want to recommend those two places to other families.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This is a wonderful cabin in an idyllic setting. The sun shone brightly every day - a stark contrast from our gray winter skies at home. As the sun moves across the sky, you can continue to feel its warmth by working your way around the wrap-around deck. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. Make sure to partake of the local seafood at some of the many venues, and Richard highly recommends Dolphins Plus for an once-in-a-lifetime adventure swimming with the dolphins.Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Not only is the house lovely with everything you could want, but the full moon filled the quiet bay in a magical way. How great was it to watch the sun and the moon both rise while standing in such solitude on the deck. John Pennekamp Park is a must. We took the glass bottom boat before snorkeling the next day. Felt like we had a condensed college course on the boat that really enhanced the snorkeling.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway.

The cabin view of the ocean was just as stated - absolutely breath-taking. The cabin itself was clean and comfortable. There were some maintenance issues that could have been done before our stay. The lights in the laundry room area did not come right away so going down there in the dark was a real problem. We also had to replace a couple batteries in the smoke detectors as they were beeping when we got there. Other than those minor issues we enjoyed our stay and would recommmend this property to anyone who is looking for complete peace and quiet!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children.

This home was everything that the owner described. It was not lacking in any supplies and was spotless. The view of the ocean was awesome and it was fun to see the barracuda in the canal. This home is on stilts so it is important that you be able to handle stairs. This is a very quiet, secluded area with very few people around. In the area we thoroughly enjoyed meals at Senior Frejoles and the Conch House and would recommend both to all who visit.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, pet owners, romantic getaway.

The view was spectacular... the deck faces east, and the sunrise comes right up out of the ocean, big as life. And at night, if you catch it on a full moon - spectacular. This kind of quiet you just can't find anywhere! The house sits at the VERY end of a long, mangrove-lined road... and although there was a neighbor next door, we heard NOTHING. Lots of fun kayaking in the canal... and a perfect location, right next door to Pennycamp and the Everglades, and within striking distance of Key West. Sure... the house has seen younger days... but it was extremely comfortable, well furnished and just what we needed. Bathrooms were nice - good showers. Beds were very, very comfortable. We would come again, absolutely.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway.

First off, Mary was the best! Easy to talk to, and very accommodating. The sunrises were fabulous. The view was beautiful, lots of birds and looking for shells in the rocks was a blast. I would definitly recommend this property to anyone. But there is a lot of stairs. Well worth it! Beds are comphy, all amenities are furnished. We had a great time! Thanks MaryRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

What a treat! We wanted this cabin for our vacation the moment we first saw it online. We were certainly not disappointed when we saw it in person. The location is excellent with breathtaking views of the sea and sunrise. The house itself is well appointed with great comfortable furnishings and dozens of artistic personal touches. The beds are luxuriously comfortable. Out on the deck is everything you could need; grill, table, chairs etc. The owner takes great care of the place and it is obviously well loved. She takes great care of guests too. We were supplied with a detailed list of all the local establishments and attractions. We even found a welcome basket in the bedroom. We really felt like royalty. We love this cabin and will return again and again. We've found our home away from home!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Breathtaking views of the ocean from 3 large picture windows. Two-sided deck is very comfortable. Especially the Pawley's Island hammock...what a find. A nice touch is the Welcome basket filled with goodies. Kitchen supplies need to be reexamined and possibly updated. Bathrooms are nice sized and the linen closets nicely stocked. The comfortable beds were a nice supprise... firm and linens sooo soft. We will definitly consider this cabin in the future.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+.
