Keywords: Cottage
Three roads branching off of Rte 1, Overseas Highway, converge at a bayside shore to create a pristine neighborhood that has a blend of Old and New Key Largo. Just 5 miles south of the busy center of Key Largo, Sunset Road, North Bay Harbor Drive and South Bay Harbor Drive make up the Bay Harbor Neighborhood that has a blend of Conch Houses and extravagant waterfront properties in a peaceful, bayside setting. Preserved lots that contain the unique flora and fauna of the Keys are speckled between each home, creating privacy.
This remodeled 1958 Conch House is on North Bay Harbor Drive and has the Charm of Old Cape Cod with the beauty of Key Largo Sunsets. The pastel colored rooms are decorated with modern furnishings that are conducive to lounging and relaxing. A pit sofa converts into a comfortable pull out bed for unexpected guests. The house has a secluded back yard with tropical surroundings. It features an enclosed hot and cold outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after the beach or enjoying a relaxing hot shower under the trees or stars. An outdoor covered patio is the perfect spot for dining al fresco after cooking fresh fish on the grill. Located just 100 yards from our bayside beach and marina, the house sits back from the street, allowing room for a boat and trailer as well as parking for yourself and visitors. The Private Homeowners Park, usually uninhabited, has a white sandy beach, with breathtaking sunsets, a boat launch, fishing jetty, and a picnic area. Great cove for Kayaking!
It is an easy, picturesque, 1 hr. drive from Miami Airport using the Florida Turnpike to Florida City. Enter the Keys through the mangrove tree lined "Stretch" of US 1. The scenic bridge gives way to a panoramic view of the mainland, Everglades National Park and the small developing Keys. You are now entering the first and largest Key in the chain of islands that extend for over a hundred miles, connected by bridges and narrow strips of land. Our house is just 10 minutes south of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park MM102, major grocery stores and outlets. Day trips to Marathon and Key West, two of the larger Keys, with stops along the way at artisan villages and quaint restaurants, flea markets and shops make Key Largo a prime place to vacation. Head south to feed the Tarpon at "Robbie's" MM77.5 or take a boat tour to Lignumvitae, a historic State Park with nature trails. Keep going to MM61, Hawk's Cay Resort on Duck Key to feed the Dolphin. On the way home, stop at "Lorelei" MM 81 for a fish sandwich, music and sunset. Finer dining is available at Snapper's, just one mile south of our house, or head north to MM103 to Sundowners where you can dine on the beach and watch the sun retire.
Great place for a family getaway or winter reprieve!

I just spent 4 days at this "Little Blue" adorable house, and came home recharged and relaxed. I have rented apts. and homes worldwide using VRBO and love the experience so much more than staying at a Hotel. A lot of times it takes me awhile to get settled into a new place..sometimes there is an 'ew factor' attached(weird smell of the place..location) but IMMEDIATLY upon opening the door to this immacualte house,I felt a sense of peace and comfort...and safety. There is everything you need for your stay.The kitchen has everything you need..and more...(even beautiful serving plates).there are even chairs and coolers for the beach.EVERYTHING you would need to make your stay enjoyable, It's clean and bright and so comfortable..BIg screen TV..fabulous private backyard w/ tiki torches and lounge chairs and a grill. FABULOUS restaurants so close by..very convienient to shops...and the private beach just 3 houses down the road. You MUST stop by Harriet's a great breakfast place for Key lime muffins(worth the whole trip!). Location is wonderful..house is CLEAN and comfortable...sunsets are amazing!! If you need a get away..this is the place!!

While floating with my family at the beach, we felt like we were in the Caribbean! You look out at the islands in the bay and it was perfect for kayaking. My kids snorkeled along all the coral from the beach to the marina. There are not many beaches in the keys with white sand like this..and it was private. We can't wait to come back.

Had a wonderful stay at "Little Blue" Enjoyed walking & biking through the neighborhood and the private beach is beautiful! Made use of the grill on two nights and loved the privacy of the backyard. Thanks for a memorable stay!
