Enjoy this beautifully decorated, remodeled, extraordinarily clean, non-smoking, two bedroom lower apartment in serene and quiet Big Pine Key, Florida!
Ah . . . . the Florida Keys! Nowhere else says "kick off your shoes and relax" quite the way the Florida Keys do. Big Pine Key is home to the National Key Deer Refuge, where endangered Key Deer roam the island freely - you may spot these beautiful, smaller deer touring the island on bicycle or by taking a scenic walking tour by the Blue Watering Hole.
It is common to see these gentle deer around sunset, iguanas in the sunny mornings and manatee coming in to the canals in the winter months. Big Pine Key is one of the best islands for tarpon fishing, 'flats' fishing for bone fish, deep-sea fishing for wahoo, marlin and sail fish or just having lazy quiet days under a palm tree.
