Keywords: House
This is our second home. It is a clean and comfortable single family home on a quiet residential street. It is a very safe neighborhood, two next door neighbors are police. It is fully self contained with linens, kitchen utensils, laundry room, barbecue grill, etc. There are three bedrooms with two bathrooms upstairs (one in the Mstr Bdrm)and one downstairs. The floorplan is open and airy. There is also a downstairs workshop/storage area to keep your rods&reels, scuba equipment, whatever. The driveway has two secure gates, with two carports and plenty of parking. Our canal feeds directly to the open bay. Swimming is great and fishing is exceptional from the back yard. You can easily catch enough Snapper for dinner without leaving the house.
Our home is ideally located ten minutes (by car or boat)from Key West. We are close enough to enjoy crazy Key West and far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Rockland Key is between mile marker 9&10, with mile marker 0 being in "Old Town" Key West. There are numerous convenience stores and boat ramps with one mile of our home.

Pete, just wanted to let you know that we had a great time. Your house is beautiful and spotless. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and like you said Key West is a short drive. The beaches are great and Duval St.is a different world. We went to one of the drag shows at the Aqua on Duval and laughed for one and half hours, it was good. Tried a few of the resturants on your list and they were excellent. The sunsets at Mallory Square are always stunning and the vendors are entertaining. It was all good, thanks for sharing your home. Sincerely George Graham

We spent Christmas and New Years here and loved it. The accomodations were wonderful and the closeness to Key West was excellent. This rental was stocked with plenty of kitchen utensils and towels. If you enjoy fishing, the fish in the canal are hungry and are not afraid to bite. Peter was easy to work with and we enjoyed his house very much. If it wasn't for the drive - we would come at every opportunity!!. Looking forward to our next visit!. Thanks for a memorable vacation and holiday!

Nice Vacation Home, Quiet Neighborhood

The house was clean and well prepped for our stay. Everything was as described in the property's profile. The owner was responsive, accomodating, and professional to deal with. Calle Dos is a quiet street with easy access to US1. A taxi ride for one from the house to Truman Annex was about $35 on the morning of Nov 11, 2011 (not bad when considering the difference in rental fees for comparable properties in that area on Key West during our stay).

Everything was exactly as described and depicted in the photos. The owner was very easy to reach and communicate with. The home was very clean and I would definitely recommend a friend/relative to stay here during their time in Key West. The owner included information on tourist activities, places to eat and other recommendations which were quite helpful. We were very pleased with our stay and will return when possible.

We stayed here for a week in the sun with our two adult children. It's a great spot - clean, comfortable, fully stocked kitchen. The canal was great for kayaking and floating around on tubes. Quick drive into Key West. Owner was great - left lots of information about sites to see. Highly recommend!

Perfect Keys Vacation House

My wife and I were fortunate enough to stay here for our wedding anniversary and we were not disappointed! The house itself is charming and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the backyard area for fishing, grabbing a nice picnic lunch, or just lounging in the hammock under the palm tree. The location is absolutely perfect for those who want to go to Key West, but aren't really looking for the all night bar hopping scene. Easy access to waterways and all kinds of outdoor sports are right at your fingertips. Owners are very laid back and accommodating. Make sure you check out their recommendations for restaurants-they are spot on! All in all just a perfect Keys vacation house and we will be back!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway.

Besides being a beuitiful, large home with nice neighbors, this house is located close enough to Duval Street to drive for get a bite to eat and some cocktails, but not too close to have to deal with the drunken people and tourists. The boat ramps are in good condition, and the canal is a great place for relaxing after a day on the boat. Had an awesome time, and will stay here during our next vacation to Key West. The owner is easy-going and friendly as well, this always makes things go smoother.

My husband, another couple and I have just returned from this wonderful place! Close enough to Key West to enjoy the fun but removed enough to enjoy a quiet dip in the canal in the afternoon or just lounge in the comfy hammock. All the amenities of home, but with palm trees and cool breezes. The owner also supplied us with a two page list of places to eat, drink and be merry - so much to do - so little time... We are scuba divers and the location is very central to the dive shops we worked with. Definitely on the "places to return to list"!
