Like Old Key West
Your waterfront vacation place with a boat slip is in the most unique mixed use marina community in the Keys. Watch the fishing boats unload their catch. Walk the docks out of your front or back door with the yachts mixed in with the house boats mixed in with the treasure hunting fleet. Waterfront both front and back, you home overlooks the marina on both sides. Don't let the location fool you.
Your stay will be in a retreat with warm wood walls and cool local & Caribbean art. In addition to the two queen bedrooms, the bunk and convertible beds allow you configure the sleeping arrangements to suit your needs. The gate controlled access lets you park you car just in front of your home and your boat.
If you're the boating type, your boat slip with a floating dock to tie to, is just feet from your front door. There is immediate, deep-water (14') access through an unobstructed 300' wide channel to the Atlantic with close access to the back country and Gulf. A deep freezer is provided to store your catch. Plenty of room to park a trailer. There is a fishhouse next door with bulk ice available.
You will be staying on Stock Island, half of which is within the City of Key West. Old Town and Duval Street are about 5 miles away.

GEM TUCKED AWAY ON STOCK ISLAND ! THE BEST WE COULD HAVE ASKED FOR!
Guest: NY'ers in Paradise
(Stillwater NY )

Tucked away right off the shrimp docks an amazing modern little condo. CLEAN Exactly as described but yet so much more. It was an added extra to be able to walk to the fresh fish market and bring it home and cook in the kitchen, for the at home feeling. Also right behind the best food in town, if you don't feel like cooking.(stumbling distance (lol) The HOG FISH was by far one of the best restaurants (in key west)with the best food. (and we heard its a secret to travelers unless you hear it from the locals) The condo was more than cozy and decorated with style. LOVED IT ...Clean and complete with every thing you need to feel at home, while enjoying key west.. Location was great! We look forward to hopefully staying here again! FORSURE! Thanks again for sharing your place !

This was my first time renting off of VRBO. My wife and I decided to take a chance and see about taking a vacation trip to Key West. At first I was slightly nervous driving to the rental property as it was an industrial/fishing part of town. Once we got to the property though everything had changed. The apartment looked as good as the pictures and then some.The surrounding area was also just what we where looking for. It was an eclectic mix of Key West castaways and fisherman. I loved walking about the marina property and looking at all of the wood-workers and art that is scattered about the property. We towed down our 26ft worldcat and had plenty of room at the provided slip (just remember to bring a trailer lock). The amenities and service turned out to be better than I could have ever imagined. The owners where attentive, and quick to offer advice on where to visit while on vacation. We will definitely be back!!

We had a very nice stay in Key West. It was nice to feel at home and to be able to welcome our cousins for dinner. The information on the website proved entirely accurate. The place was clean and well maintained. The owner was very helpful and provided us with extra help and services we had not anticipated: free access to swimming pool and beach. Having a fish market at your door is certainly a real plus which should be better advertised.

Great condo to stay at. I liked everything about this place from bedrooms to showers and the ability to walk 30 ft and you're at the dock giving easy access to a dive boat. Great conditions and the owner was very helpful when I accidentally left some of my stuff. Thanks!

We were delighted with the location of this property and were happy that although our main attraction was Key West itself that we had decided to stay on Stock Island. Key West was accessible in minutes by car or taxi and 20 - 30 minuted by bus but coming back on the days we did go there was a relief. The Hogfish at the end of the harbour was a real bonus and we had some excellent meals there and evening entertainment with live music from the bar could be enjoyed from our terrace and dock. I think music is at weekends only and finished at a reasonable hour. Fishbusterz opposite was an excellent place to pick up fresh seafood and even "eat with the fleet" as they advertised. The community at Safe Harbour is extremely friendly and welcoming. We would have no hesitation in recommending this well appointed and pretty place and hope to be able to come back someday. Thanks

I have been going down to the florida keys and Key West since 1972, I would have to say this was by far the best accomodations for the money and quick access to our many dive sites on both the Atlantic and gulf side. The Hofish Grill and bar were right there for a quick drink or bite to eat. The big tarpon eating almost out of our hands while cleaning our just caught Mahi was a huge hit with everyone. We also went over to the Oceanside Marina pool. Beautiful A+++. I will definetly be booking again for next year

When you first walk in, you do get the impression that it is small, but at no point in time did we feel crowded. The décor is soothing, and the place is very clean. The octagonal picnic table, wicker chair & loveseat and BBQ grill on the front patio were a great place to sip a drink, talk to everyone as they walked by, and cook your dinner all at the same time. Having the outside deep freezer was wonderful for storing extra ice and keeping bait and fish. Everyone on the pier was very nice and very helpful. Unfortunately, the wind blew 20-30 kts the entire time we were there, and each day people would come by to see if we were able to get out to fish, where we went, and to give suggestions of where we might want to try to go the next day. One day, one of the fishing boat captains even brought us a bag full of mangrove snapper because all we had caught that day was one fish! The dockage for the boat and the parking of the trailer were perfect. The dock is across the “driveway” from the front door. The floating dock is great. There’s a bench to sit at the end of the dock, and a fish-cleaning table at the other end. Water, electric and even a pump-out are right there too! Oceanside Marina is right around the peninsula, and you can use their boat ramp for a $10 fee. The trailer parking is about 500 ft away from the condo on the other side of the street, so bring a lock. Parking for one vehicle is also across the driveway, just in front of the boat dock (there is ample parking in an adjacent parking lot for other vehicles). It was great for loading and unloading coolers. We also found the STOCK ISLAND LOBSTER CO. 6639 Maloney Avenue, which would allow you to fill a marine cooler (they considered this a medium cooler) with ice for $6.00. We left one cooler in the truck, filled it with ice each day and then transferred the ice with a 5-gallon bucket. Definitely saved a lot of money on ice. The only "downfall" we could say would be the lack of a pool at the marina, but we did use the dipping pool one day. It was wonderful to get in that fresh water after spending the day getting soaked with salt water. The pool looks like it is one of those endless lap pools, so it is very small, but if no one else is in it, it is very comfortable. And you do have access to the Yacht Club of America (YCOA) and they have a beautiful pool. You can either take your boat around or just drive over. We absolutely loved the location. If you like the feel of being with the locals,

If you want to stay in a clean, well maintained, well equipped place and also enjoy a private dock right outside your front door and private parking, then come on. If you have never experienced Stock Island before, be prepared that you will be entering what used to be the commercial fishing hub of Key West and the lower Keys as well as other marine related commercial activities. There is still commercial activity in the immediate area and a lot of local characters, but to a much lesser degree than years past. Bring your boat. The slip has a floating dock, deep water and will easily take at least a 46' boat with a 16' beam. (or maybe a little larger) There is shore power and fresh water dockside. I launched at nearby Oceanside Marina, stored my trailer in their locked compound and didn't worry about it for a week. We used the boat every day. Oceanside Marina, Yacht Clubs of America and Murray Marine are minutes away with fuel, bait, ice, tackle, etc. If you don't have towing membership, I recommend you get it before you go. ( Mike happens to own the Sea Tow service in Key West. He DID NOT ask me to put this in here, it is just good judgement on your part.) There are a lot of beautiful areas to experience and one incident or break down can cost you a bundle! Go prepared. You will also have access to the Yacht Clubs of America facilities and a pass to the Fort Taylor State Park near the southern most point. After a couple of days of diving and fishing, we had all of our family and friends who live in Key West over for a lobster and fish cookout and had no problem seating 14 folks inside and outside the place. Everyone complimented the condition and the added "Keys flavor" extras. The afternoon before the cookout, I realized the gas was low on the grill. One quick call to Mike and he was there in minutes to hook up another propane tank. My 82 year old mother stayed with us and loved the whole set up. She had lived in Key West in the 60's and early 70's and my wife and I lived and worked in Key West for almost 40 years, so we knew what to expect. If you are looking for a laid back, pet friendly, Keys experience, this is a great place. If you want valet parking, someone to turn down your sheets and leave a chocolate on your pillow, well................. I'm now trying to figure out how to get my cousin and other friends down from Ohio for a week long fishing / diving marathon. In summary, we had a great time and would do it again.
