We took the whole family encluding a 2, 3 and 4 yr old, we did also get them in the ocean once, but they did prefer the pool best. The adults on the other hand, did enjoy the ocean we snorkled, fished and even caught a few lobsters! Caught enough snapper off the dock to have a fish fry one night and it was GREAT! The house is very comfortable, like being at home! I really enjoyed taking naps on the outdoor couch with the cool breeze blowing!!! We brought our boat and went to a reef "Hens & Chickens" not far from the house and it was beautiful!!! Shanie was great to work with! Thanks for everything! This was a vacation our family will never forget!

Very accomodating, comfortable, clean rental home. No, it's not a 5 star hotel or house with all the stuffy, fancy, plush fufu stuff but it is a 5 STAR LAID BACK Florida Keys OCEAN vacation rental. This was our 3rd trip to the Keys in the last 10yrs. and we throroughly enjoyed this place for our family (5 adutls, a 4yr. old) because we come to the Keys to sit back, relax and get away from the "real world", thus why we stay away from tourist trap beachy resorts/areas. Snorkeled SOME (really not tons to see, gotta be honest) and we did let the 4yr. old walk around in the water during lower tide, but really she had rather swim in the pool (and proud to say she did her first full length solo swim across the pool with no floatation device : ) - great memory). The private pier was a big deal for us, being we love to fish and it was exactly as expected-GREAT! We caught all kinds of fish: sand sharks, snapper & some we never got to see because they stole all our line off the poles! Saw numerous rays, a couple dolphin, crabs and pretty little fish. When not fishing, it was very relaxing & peaceful just sitting on the end of the pier and enjoying life. Next comments not negative IF you know the Keys very well and IF you are not expecting beautiful pristine white beaches as far as you can see. It's the KEYS - IT'S THE, raw untouched by maintenance cleaning crews, OCEAN! Yes, there is sea grass. Yes, sadly quite a bit of trash that does/is washed up but you can't blame the owners-one could TRY to keep clean but as oceans do, the tides come & go da. Turned a negative into a positive by reinterating to the 4yr. old why we don't litter and why we all need to be concious and concerned about littering. Only adding this because it is a fact, the way it is and if you do expect an emaculate shoreline etc. you will be dissappointed. BUT we did walk the semi-rocky shoreline and found some cool natural ocean "stuff": shells, coral, driftwood etc. and plan on making our own natural souvenior with these pieces. Back to the house - best way I can describe: it was "our comfortable lived in home" for a week. The grounds are well kept & private (unless you don't like a family of peacocks as your neighbors that come over, quite often, to visit.) Shanie is great to work with thru the booking process etc. & deposit refund returned quickly. If you want info. pronto best to call rather than e-mail, she's a busy lady : ) 12 Thumbs up to returning!

....all furniture and beds are extremely comfy and clean, there is NO apt. bldg. next door, the downstairs is a spacious, bright little efficiency with a fridge and coffee maker, and the first reviewer was obviously just being mean, or is incredibly picky and not laid-back enough for ANY PLACE in the Keys!!! You can just count that review out when you are deciding whether to stay here or not! :-)

On the first day, I knew this was going to become our go-to vacation home in the Keys! This was our second Keys rental home experience, and unlike our first, this one really exceeded our expectations! If you haven't rented in the Keys before, you don't realize what a disaster it can be, and this home is so far above your typical rental that it totally deserves 5 stars! The view is breathtaking, the pool is perfection after a day of snorkeling off the pier and the house is adorably charming, clean and full of everything you could possibly need for a fantastic vacation! Shanie has gone above and beyond in making sure that you will feel right at home with tons of kitchen supplies, towels, pillows, blankets, sheets, toys, etc etc etc, and you really just need to bring yourself, your clothes and your food and you will be all set! She has been so wonderful to deal with that I feel like I have a new Keys BFF! :-) Even after two weeks here, I am STILL not ready to leave! It's THAT GOOD!!!

This was our first experience with a vacation rental and didn't really know what to expect. We stayed at the home the week of July 4th. Shanie is wonderful to deal with and went out of her way to be helpful. The house is even better than the pictures, and the property was so peaceful. We spent most of our time on the pier fishing, snorkeling by the pier or sitting by the pool watching the peacocks. Our adult children said it was the best vacation they have ever had and the most relaxing. I would highly recommend this house as a vacation rental. We definitely will rent this home on our next trip to the keys.

First I would like to thank Shanie for her responsiveness in the booking process and whenever we had a question. This was our first rental of this type and we hadn't had a true family vacation for years. There were 6 of us including one toddler. We stayed the last week of May/first week of June. The house is exactly as it is pictured but you don't get a true sense of how pristine it is until you see it. When we opened the gate to drive into the property my adult daughter started jumping up and down and clapping! The setting is beautiful, house is clean and comfortable and room for everyone. We fished off the pier, swam in the ocean and pool, and had a great outdoor BBQ for the holiday. There is not a true beach until low tide and then you have about 3-4 hours where you can play in the sand and swim in the ocean without going down a ladder off the pier. My boys loved the kayak also. It is like being in your own world, the privacy is so great. There are beautiful peacocks that run free near the property. We had everything we needed in the house from beach towels, to kitchen ware, and washer and dryer. The house is bright and festive. The grocery store and CVS are very close, as are a number of small restaurants. There was a strong wind off the ocean when we were there and my understanding is that varies by time of year that you are there. We had very brief rain twice and the rest of the time the weather was fantastic! House is stocked with toys for kids and pool/sand toys. We went to Anne's Beach which is about 10 miles south for the day so my grandaughter could play in the ocean. It is a sand bar that stretches for a mile with 2-3 foot water. She had a blast. Everyone voted this the best vacation ever and we highly recommend this property and this owner. We can't wait for the next time! We also received our deposit back very quickly on our return. Thank you Shanie!!!!!

We stayed here for a week last July and it was great. The pool made the place, it was even a little chilly from time to time because of the great ocean breeze. I would not pull a boat down the drive but I would pull a trailer; so dump the boat in the water before you get there and pick it up on the way back. Overall the house was great, so was the owner. We will come back soon.

My family just returned from a week in Islamorada - we had a great time! The house is exactly like the pictures show, you get what you see, a bright, open and clean property! Shanie, the owner was extremely responsive and accommodating. She helped us prepare for our trip with useful information about the property and surrouding area. While we were there, she arranged for a contact for us, should we have additional questions, and that was very much appreciated. We had problems with the pool heater, but a maintenance person was sent out immediately. We had two children with us and the area was great for that. We visited Theater of the Sea (Great Dolphin show!) watched a beautiful sunset at Morada Bay restaurant and chartered a boat with Easy Adventures, that was very kid friendly. I'd recommend this property to families or couples looking for a quiet, private get away. We never saw any of the neighbors and had the whole area to ourselves the whole time. The sunrises were beautiful and the weather was great. Thank you!

I'm sorry that you felt this way. To clarify, there is not an apartment complex next to the house or even one close by. There are 2 private homes as you drive down the long driveway to the house. Even though the driveway is narrow, no one has ever had a problem with cars or boats down the driveway. We actually came over to the house as soon as we received the call that there was a problem getting down the driveway. The gentleman who was driving the truck obviously, was not familiar with driving a truck and trailer and did hit the ladies fence in the front. So she did come downstairs because she was upset, but we took care of that and she was fine. As far as the tupperware, I did contact the cleaning lady after I received the call several days after the departure. Unfortunately, I tell the cleaning lady to throw everything out of the fridge and freezer after every renter. She had already thrown it out several days prior and was taken out in the garbage pick-up. I emailed the renter and left her a message to apologize. I wish I would have known sooner so I could have stopped it from being thrown out. It's sad that there are unhappy people in this world that try to hurt other people. The worst part is that this was not the actual renter that wrote this review. This was a friend that came by for a few days to visit the renter. I spoke to the actual renter and she apologized for this lady's behavior and said this was no reflection on her.

Our family, plus pets, had a wonderful time in this beautiful home and location. Once you open the gate to the property you will be in awe of the stunning view that is yours during your stay. Although the pictures are accurate it is even more impressive in person. Bathrooms and kitchen are all large, clean and well stocked. Pool and yard are clean and pool is heated. Kayak and ping pon were a nice bonus and we made use of both. Beach may get things washed up - what do you expect - this is the ocean after all so blame the polluters offshore. We found the property to offer everything needed for a perfect getaway to rest and relax in the sun and plan to return again.
