Just off the property you can find nature trails leading to quiet beaches. The patio offers views of a back yard aquarium and the spectacular beauty of the Florida Keys.

Fabulous vacation

My wife and I enjoyed our week here immensely. The house was set at the end of a cul-de-sac on the edge of a gorgeous marine park. It was spotlessly clean and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable and carefree vacation. If you love kayaking, as we do, this is the perfect spot. In the evening, we loved the peace ad tranquillity as the sun set over the mangove lake as the egrets and pelicans fed. Another highlight was observing the fish, crabs and lobsters from the dock. This is a nature lover's paradise!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+.
A wonderful place, restful and interesting.

This property is a gem. The unit itself is quite luxurious, air conditioning, wireless internet, granite kitchen, etc, but the location is like being in a secluded nature preserve. We loved it. A great base for day trips to Miami or Key West, or just relaxing and taking in the wild birds and aquatic animals. Jerry could not have been nicer....very helpful, informative, and enthusiastic about the setting without being intrusive. He met us the first day and then we were on our own. This unit is I believe the most private of the property...you have almost the whole top floor and a spectacular view of the water, plants, and wildlife. The rooms are really large and everything is spotless. Thanks so much!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
