MY FAMILY AND I STAYED HERE LAST MAY AND LOVED THE PLACE. IT HAS SUCH A KEY WEST FEEL AND MAKES YOU FEEL RIGHT AT HOME. THE VIEWS ARE AMAZING FROM THE SUNDECK, SCREENED PORCH OR BOAT DOCK. MY BROTHER ACTUALLY PROPOSED TO HIS GIRLFRIEND IN THE KITCHEN WHILE SHE WAS MAKING US ALL CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES! THE PLACE REALLY MAKES A GREAT SETTING FOR WONDERFUL MEMORIES!! I WOULD RECOMMEND STAYING HERE TO ANYONE!

We just returned from Spring Break week where we had a great trip. Our group was so comfortable in this wonderful home. We had four couples and everyone had their own large room with plenty of space. There are plenty of porches and places to lounge about and enjoy the sea breezes. The weather was glorious and the pool gets very hot - like a hot tub! Key West was perfect this time of year. Blue Heaven is the best restaurant in town and was excellent as usual. We tried the Square Grouper on Summerland and thought it was also excellent. Can't say enough about this rental...I spent of lot of time finding the perfect home that also had deep water dockage and pool. Next time, I will just rent this one without the search. Owners were very responsive to all needs and home was equipped with everything we needed.

Loved our stay in your Summerland Key home. It is beautifully decorated, and the sunset views were gorgeous. The ocean felt great during the day; the heated pool felt great at night. The tiki shower is wonderful! We enjoyed the Keys artwork/photographs/books. Looking forward to a return visit.

We had a great vacation and you have a wonderful home. You have done a great job decorating and making everything comfortable. Even the mail box is great. Probably just a “guy thing”, but I really like the bottle opener attached to the kitchen wall. My son caught a 40 lb tarpon right in front of the house ... I’m hoping to get the photo into Florida Sportsman magazine.
