A very cute, comfortable & well equipped property. The owner's are friendly & helpful, & couldn't be more accommodating. If you are looking for a great location & sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico, stay here...you won't be disappointed.

Private Hideaway

Just returned from our week stay on Conch Key and we can't say enough good things about The Tree House. It's everything it appears to be, very quaint and picturesque. We're always a little apprehensive when renting a place sight unseen but the cottage was clean and well maintained. It's constructed in such a way as to afford beautiful water views from every room and with such large windows, the best part for me was opening my eyes every morning looking out onto a beautiful South Florida sky. We thoroughly enjoyed the wildlife, the antics of the pelicans and the grace of the herons. The sunsets were phenomenal and the water, unlike west coast surf, was smooth and glassy, perfect for kayaking and boating. Conch Key is small and very much a rustic fishing village....not for someone looking for glamour and glitz. It's somewhat of a trek to amenities like grocery shopping and restuarants but the local market is satisfactory for basic necessities and you can buy fresh live lobster at a reasonable price from the local fishermen! If we had just one thing to be unhappy with during our visit, it would have to be the road noise from Hwy 1. If the road could be moved about a mile south everything about The Tree House would be absolutely perfect! If you're hard of hearing...it's not a problem! Randy was great to work with and interesting to talk to and we wouldn't hesitate recommending The Tree House to anyone interested in avoiding the hectic pace found on the other Keys. It is truely special.

Wife and I stayed in this cottage just a couple years ago and in a nut shell we now refer to it as our home away from home. While small on space (which is what we wanted), it is huge on island personality. We've traveled to the Keys many many times staying in everything from condos to mom and pop motels to homes, houses and cottages. This place beats em all by a long shot. Quaint, sophisticated, well appointed it fits our lifestyle to a tee. Great for a husband and wife get away. Sometimes the owners list it was a fishing cottage and it very well could be but since we don't fish we went for the ambience. The sunsets off the private dock dictate happy hour every single night! Oh yeah, and we Scuba Dive and the diving in the Keys is some of the best in the world.

Perfect House at the Right Price

We have been doing a Guys Weekend Fishing trip annually to the Keys. We usually stay at a Resort that offers Boats. This was our first try at renting a home and having a boat delivered. We couldn't have been happier!! Terri was fantastic to work with. The house - for our purposes was perfect! It was just the right size for us and would be for a family too. Since this was a fishing trip, we spent very little time in the home excpet really to eat dinner and sleep. The bed was comfy and the A/C was cold - the 2 biggest things to consider in the Keys. The pride of ownership in this home is evident. The place was in immaculate condition. The decorations and renovations are done in Classic Keys style! The oversized balcony was awesome. We cooked our catch of the day on the provided grill and relaxed on the deck overlooking the water. Dock is perfect. We rented a 22' foot CC that drew about 21inches. We never had a problem w/ depth - low tide we just trimmed the engine. Access to the Ocean was great. We were at the Marathon Hump in about 45 min! Make sure your boat has the water depth Overlay chart on your GPS since there are a lot of flats on the Gulf side! This just makes it easier to pick your way thru the flats at planing speed. About 10 homes away (walking distance) is a little marina w/ a store for the little items you forget and mainly for Ice and Bait which is important down in the keys. Marathon is a 10 min ride to the South by boat or car for Grocery stores and for any tyoe of Restauruant which was really convenient as well. I can't wait to book another trip here! Kudos to Terri!

My husband and I stayed 8 nights in this beautiful home! The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable! We enjoyed using the dock for our boat and watching the sunset each evening! We would highly recommend this home to any couple who wants to get away from their busy lives to enjoy paradise!

We rented this house in Febuary. It is a beautiful home and VERY clean and neat.The pictures in the listing didn't do it justice. This house is more beautiful and charming. It was a real pleasure to work with the owner.They were quick about answering any questions and were very honest. The sunsets from the dock were amazing. When we come back down we will stay here again and recommend it to my friends.
