Hgtv Featured Home-Boaters Paradise! Waterfront Key West Home

- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
Boat in, boat out. Inspired by Balinese design this private waterfront retreat has deep-water access and is the ultimate base for the ocean enthusiast. Choose to escape, relax and meditate by the waterfall or head out for a day of adventure on the high seas. While the property is only 5 miles from Duval St, Key West, it is unlikely that you will venture far from this island getaway. Kayak amongst the mangroves in the backcountry playground or dive the Vandenberg, only 20 minutes from dock to deck. If Snorkeling in the warm Gulf Stream waters is on the agenda, America’s only barrier reef is minutes from your back door.
After a day on the water prepare your bounty of lobster and snapper in the gourmet kitchen, equipped with Viking range or entertain family and friends in the dockside Tiki hut while admiring the sunset.
As the evening draws to a close watch the moonrise from the verandah of the private guest cottage, which opens directly onto the water. In the morning step out of bed and onto your boat to repeat the process!

This place was as beautiful or better than the the pictures depicted. As soon as we walked in we were in aw. You can really tell the owners put a lot of love and care into this place. The small details really make a difference. My Family and I were immediately greeted by the owner upon arrival. He showed us around and really made us feel at home. He was available whenever we needed him and was always extremely helpful. The stay there was amazing. It felt as comfortable as being at home, yet exotic with paradise right outside the door. Everything was fully stocked and clean when we arrived. There were even Kayaks provided for us to use. I would recommend this place to anyone and I would love to visit again. Thank you to the owners! You were wonderful.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had such a wonderful time staying in this island paradise. That is what you feel like once you enter this very secluded oasis. Shawn, the owner, was very nice and everything was done very professionally. The house and its outdoor areas are so beautifully decorated. The access by boat was easy and we even caught some in-shore Grouper! We will definately stay here again!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Shawn checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Coming from a customer service driven industry, he sure knows how to make us feel welcomed. He knows the town back and forth. So if you need help with things to do and places to eat, he's your man. This house was by far the best I've stayed in. It has everything you need. The only thing we had to go out and get was groceries. I'm was in awe with the layout and all the features this house has. I would go on with a list, but you should just stay here and find out for yourself! My house mates were impressed with it as well. Thanks Shawn and Waterfront Key West Home for making me a star this weekend.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

This rental home has the "Wow" factor! It is beautifully decorated and has such a wonderful Key West atmosphere, with lush vegetation outside and a gorgeous decor inside. The home was very well equipped. We loved the outside shower and the hot tub. We enjoyed the kayaks and the tiki bar as well. The owners were extremely kind and accomodating. We will definately be staying there again. We might make it a yearly trip!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! :-)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This is truly a beautiful home, highly recommended to anyone. You have the fun of the day time in the water and night time party at Duval St. Owner is very helpful at arrival and checks in with you during your stay to make sure that you have no concerns. We were a party of three adult couples and the accommodations were great. He even provides us with great fishing spots and a beautiful private island beach. Looking forward to making plans for next year.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Although they have a great website. There are no pictures to do it justice. The balinesian decorum is awesome and has inspired me with my home. Everything is provided with exceptional attention to detail. If you appreciate the outdoors, lots of beautiful foliage, boating/kayaking, and absolute relaxation this is your pick. Even though we didn't ask for a lot, Shawn would bend over backwards to accommodate. This home is one of not many places that I would go back to again and again. The only persons I would not recommend this home is someone with small children because it is on the water. Anna From North Carolina May2012Did you find this review helpful?

Folks, if you are considering this property as an option to spend some time relaxing in the Keys, you can stop looking and book your next adventure in Nirvana aka The Hidden Treasure as soon as you can. My wife and I chose Shawn and Adele’s Hidden Treasure as our 30th Wedding Anniversary gift to each other. On our drive home we asked each other on a scale of one to ten, how we each rated our time spent at The Hidden Treasure. We both believed it was somewhere around thirty-eight. Anyone that does not agree this is the ultimate romantic getaway, would not have been impressed when Moses parted the Red Sea. Shawn’s ability to help you settle in and enjoy your visit is only exceeded by his gracious manner and laid-back attitude. Here is the down side to The Hidden Treasure: It is probably the best holiday you will ever have because every vacation thereafter will be compared to your time at The Hidden Treasure and fail to come even close.Owner response: Thank you Shane and Karen, We are honored that you chose our home for such an auspicious occasion. With that review we are considering building a wing onto the house and naming after you! Shawn and Adele
