Outstanding.. house,location,provisions and Vacation!! We had a group of six stay at this house in Jan 09.. It was such an awesome place and everything we could have wanted was right there! The house was so clean and put together for comfort, just lovely! In the first 5 mins after arriving, we knew we would never want to leave. Thanks to the owner, Ann, she could not have been more helpful!! We rented bikes for a day, rode around looking at Keys, wildlife, had a 19' boat with us and went to Bahia Honda.. beautiful !! Did some fishing, too cold for me to get in the water, 2 friends got in and each got a lobster, we put back... lots of fun for them. Went to Key West for a night.. what a night.. There was plenty to do, see and kept us busy. The best part.. being right at the house fishing off the docks, grilling, enjoying the views and hanging out! Don't think we can wait till next year to come back, plan to be back this summer!! Many,many thanks for the best vacation the 6 of us have ever had!!

The house was wonderful!! Beautifully renovated rooms provided a great place for our family to play games, hang out, and eat. We enjoyed the deck overlooking the water and were constantly looking for wildlife!! The property was clean and very comfortable for our family. We enjoyed Bahia Honda State Park, about 5-10 minutes from the house. There were beautiful beaches, stunning views, and great nature trails to walk and look for iguanas! We spent a lot of time down in Key West. There is always something to do and see there. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone! It was perfect to stay a little out from all the action of down town but close enough to go and enjoy! Overall, it was a great vacation with a great location, beautiful weather, and perfect house to stay in!!!!Owner response: Hi C.J. Thank you so much for your thoughtful words and taking the time to say so.. I am just thrilled you and your family had such a wonderful time and I am so honored you made the trip to stay at our house! Again, a Happy, Healthy New Year to you and yours. It would be terrific if you would stay in touch. My warmest regards, Ann

Big Pine Key is a perfect location if you are looking for a quiet non touristy location and this house is perfect if water access is important. The house has its own boat ramp and covered dock. There is enough room in the house for 6 people to stay very comfortably and each bedroom has its own bath. If you like to Kayak you can launch from the boat ramp and be in beautiful mangroves in a short paddle. If you do not bring your own Kayak there is a rental place just before the No Name Key Bridge. While we were there a manatee visited in the canal which was very cool. We also dove, snorkeled, and brought our bikes. Most of the island streets have bike paths which are paved and flat for easy riding. The house is very clean and has recently been remodeled. The owner is great to deal with and is very helpful. When we return top the Keys next year this house will be tops on our list. If you like to fish or dive there are many charter options in the area. Make sure you speak with the local residents to find the best options. Everyone on the island is very helpful and willing to share their knowledge. Around the corner from the house is the No Name Key Pub which is a must visit. The food is excellent and the decor is priceless. You will understand as soon as you walk in the place. I recommend that anyone looking to relax and have convenient water access check this place out. The only downside was packing to leave.Recommended for: Adventure seekers

The house was very clean upon our arrival. Key West is only a 30 min drive. The children enjoyed riding their bikes on the island. The Key Deer were everywhere. The No Name Pub is within walking distance. The food was outstanding. We were very comfortable in the house and the view from the master bedroom and porch are fantastic. We spent the days diving for lobster and the nights fishing from the No Name bridge. We will most definately return!!! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to create such great memories!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We had the best time staying at Ann's! The house is so beautiful! Very clean, lots of room, and great location. There was 8 in our crew and plenty of space for all of us. We brought our 35 ft boat and our friend brought his 18ft boat and had plenty of room for both. The boat ramp worked great for the small boat, the 35ft had to be put in a the marina a block away, NO PROBLEM!! The Old Wooden Bridge Marina had ice and fishing tackle when ever we needed. It was very nice being near the main channel that leads to the Atlantic and Gulf. When we were not on the water, hanging at the house was great. The patio was awesome along with the great view. We had the best time every! Ann was so sweet, you will think you have known her your entire life!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Did not want to leave. Great location, fabulous place: clean, well stocked and nicely decorated with amenities close by. The dock was perfect, nice and shady; water access could not have been more convenient. Love the resident tarpon rolling in the canal, day trips to Key West and Bahia Honda, lote of boating adventures. I can';t wait to go back.

The house is a real gem. SOOO easy to get to the Atlantic and to the Gulf. It was absolutely the easiest access we ever had down there. The boat slip under the house is totally cool - way better than just tying up one side the boat. We couldn't use the boat slip because the boat was just too long but the ramp we used as 2 minutes away. The house was totally beautiful. The downstairs is like an apartment - totally private if you have more than 1 couple visiting. We loved it and RECOMMEND it to anyone wanting a GREAT Keys Vacation!!!Owner response: Thank you Robin, It is to my delight you and your family had a wonderful visit in our Keys Home. In addition, I am thrilled your brother choose to get married here and it was as wonderful as you say! my warmest regards, Ann

To say my family and I had a wonderful time on our Keys vacation is an understatement. The home was beautiful, clean and exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect, as it is only about 30 minutes from Key West and a short boat trip from my favorite snorkeling/diving location (Looe Key Reef). Big Pine also is home to the Key Deer Refuge and you only have to look off the balcony to see Key Deer, Tarpon, Marine Iguanas, etc... and a short drive will take you to see the wild peacock that roam the island. We also enjoyed some great fishing during our stay. We will definitely be back!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Ms. Haber, Just a quick note to tell you how pleased my entire family and myself were with your home. Being that close to the open water was just perfect for our boating needs. The accomodations exceeded our expectations, the house was very clean and comfortable for all 6 of us. The location was convenient yet secluded. I certainly would refer friends and family to you for their future vacation needs as well, we will plan to return next year ourselves. Fondly, RoseRecommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Ann- I really enjoyed my stay in Big Pine. The house was beautiful, as was the location. Tarpon rolling in the canal is always a nice thing to wake up to and come home to! Fishing in the Gulf and Ocean was great- managed a load of snapper and a few grouper as well! The proximity to Key West was also great, and we took two trips to Key West for the day and took the short ride back to peace by evening! Thanks again, will certainly recommend your home to friends and family!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Der, Thank you and I am delighted to say the least you had such a wonderful time! Thank you in addition for taking such great care of the house! Come back soon and stay in touch. warmly, Ann
