  My wife and I spent our 30th anniversary here and it was everything we could ask for and more. I work in the oilfields where its a 24/7 job. We wanted a place that felt like home but was quiet and close to the water and site seeing. This was perfect!!!!! Howard and Lily are amazing. They made us feel like we had known them forever. Givin the opportunity we would love to come back with our kids and grandkids. Not only did we get to relax but we were able to go on an Everglades boat ride and drive to Key West. Anyone who is looking to get away and see the Keys THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY!!!!! Thank You Again to Howard and Lily for such a wonderful experience!!

  We stayed at Howard and Lily's wonderful house for 5 nights during our trip to the Keys. Loved the house, it had everything we needed and more. We first saw this House on Home and Away a few years ago, and were really pears that it was available when we finally planned our trip to the Keys. The house is much bigger than you think from the photos, and spotlessly clean. Only hing that we didn't find which would have been useful was a washing line or somewhere to hang washing? Ideally located in Key Largo with many restaurants nearby - we loved Puerto Vallarta just nearby on the main highway, and also ate at Sundowners, good food but a little pricey. Thanks to you both for the champagne and key lime pie on our arrival - much appreciated, especially given our late arrival. The house was a great base for exploring, we visited Long Key, Islamorada, Marathon, (hired bikes here to cycle to Pigeon Key, Sombrero beach in Marathon is a lovely beach!) and the Everglades from the house. Spent two days in John Pennenkamp park too which is stunning. Nice to return to the house and sit out by the water after a day out and about. Lovely house and could not have been better located. Thank you so much you both.

  What an absolutely wonderful stay we had at this rental. This was the first time using HomeAway and plan on using it again. The house was clean, in a great location, very serene and safe neighborhood. Champagne and Lily's Key Lime Pie awaited us upon check in and both were wonderful! We were centrally located so that we could go to serveral great restaurants and places to stop for cocktails. Wahoos: great grilled oysters! Gilberts: wonderful musical entertainment and a place to swim and sun. Within walking distance to a grocery story. Loved this place. Our hosts were very gracious in offering to show us around, etc. We had a flat tire on way to airport and Howard even showed up to see if he could help. Thanks for a great vacation Howard and Lily! I would recommend this property to everyone.

  Finally we got the time to write a review. Upon arrival to the house you are greeted by a sign welcoming you to paradise. Well, we do for obvious reasons, not know how it is in paradise, but we believe this place comes close. The house A charming and nice house that radiates warmth and kindness; own wharf at a nice channel; an interior that makes you feel at home immediately. Nice and clean everywhere. Only one warning, as in the real paradise: If you have back problems, do not choose the beds upstairs, they are a little too soft! Key Largo's proximity to Everglade, John Pennekamp, The Keys and all the things you want to see and experience in the area is absolutely perfect. No noisy metropolis around, only houses that are nestled around an ingenious canal system. The perfect place for the perfect Florida trip! And by the way, Howard and Lily, no way back, you are then on the tradition: Cold Cava and Lily's lime pie in the fridge on arrival! I wonder if you get that in paradise. Then there is only one thing to say. With a quote from a famous American governor: We'll be back!

  Celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and it was a great place to stay. A very unique house and very beautiful inside. I looked at the pics of the couchs before we went and thought they didn't look comfortable, but was surprised how comfortable they were. Beautiful woodwork inside. The canal is a great place to dock your boat and have instant access to. Great location!

  We had a wonderful, restful time in this well equpped and very clean unusual home!!! We found it had everything needed to make our stay truely rememberable. We especailly enjoyed BBq' ing outside and enjoyed the quiet peaceful neighbourhood. Howard was especailly helpful and calling him for afvice was never a problem. We appreciated the nice touch of champange and key lime pie and cold glasses left in the fridge for us!!!! We will always remember our 30th wedding anniversary!! Our only recommendation would be to get a tray!!! We had to make many trips up and downstairs with food etc to BBQ!!

  Owner response: Hi John/Debbie, Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so glad that your 30th anniversary was a big hit! It was very important to us that everything was just right. May you both enjoy many more anniversaries together! That is a great idea for a tray or maybe some kind of basket. Will for sure look into it. Thanks again. Kindest & Best Regards, Howard & Lily

  You always wonder whether glowing reviews go too far - can it really be true? Well - YES, it can! My husband, sister and I had a totally relaxing, getaway weekend in Howard and Lily's Key Largo home. The house and all that it offered made it an uncomplicated, restful weekend. We read many of the tips from other guests and copied their suggestions. 1) We had very nice meals at The Fish House (Key Largo) and Bentleys (Islamorada). 2) We went to Pennekamp State Park for the afternoon and spent time one the beach with a little snorkeling. 3) My sister and I ventured into the Marriott poolside area, grabbed 2 chaises, bought a couple mojito's and enjoyed a couple hours of pool time! 4)My husband took the half day party fishing boat excursion with Sailor's Choice out of Key Largo ($40 cash) but caught more fish off the dock of our own little canal! I, too, had a blast feeling that little tug-tug after casting the line! Howard - You were a pleasure to deal with and we thank you for the sparkling wine and delicious key lime pie upon arrival. We cooked a lot - right there...and just felt so "at home!" Hope to come again sometime soon and invite other family members. Our thanks!

  Hello Howard: Thank you again for the opportunity to spend a few days in Key Largo at your comfortable home on North Blackwater Road. We had a relaxing and enjoyable time! I will post a comment on the homeaway.com site but I did want to privately email you with some feedback. I have been quite busy since returning so I do apologize for the delay - you may already have another renter in! Just a few things: 1) The front porch light and interior shed light seemed to have burned out. They were both working when we arrived and we just noticed into the weekend that they were not on. 2) We broke one drinking glass while doing dishes. (We did a lot of cooking in - loved that!) To cover that glass we actually purchased 2 new plastic tumblers and left them in the cabinet. 3) We left a few things from our onsite meals to assist your future guests...seafood seasoning, olive oil, new tupperware, coffee filters. 4) We could not get the stereo remote to work for adjustments to the TV audio. Maybe a battery in that small thin remote?? or operator error?? :-) Again - we had an incredible time and thank you so much! Paula and Kevin and Barbara, too!
