If you want to experience the true meaning of a Key Largo Island vacation, then look no further than our spacious townhouse on the ocean side of the world famous Key Largo, Florida. ... The Dive Capital of the World! This townhouse is located inside Kawama Yacht Club, a beautiful Hawaiian Island style resort that is situated
along the southern border of John Pennekamp National Underwater Park. The grounds have over 30 lush tropically landscaped acres and it is the only resort in Key Largo that has a saltwater lagoon, a 400' fishing jetty and best of all a private oceanfront beach!
Some of the best known restaurants, dive shops, and snorkeling/deep sea fishing charters in all of the Keys can be found only minutes away from the resort. If you love adventure, natural beauty, or just relaxing on the beach while sipping a Piña Colada and gazing at a picturesque sunset, our townhouse in Key Largo is the ideal vacation destination for you!


Typical Day At Kawama Yacht Club: Enjoy a relaxing swim off of our private white sandy beach, BBQ with family at one of our ocean front Tiki Huts, fish for tarpon, snapper or grouper off of the 400' jetty, sunbathe at one of our swimming pools, burn off some calories on our tennis courts, take the kids over to our brand new playground or maybe snorkel in our private saltwater lagoon and swim along side the dozens of exotic fish. These are just some of the activities you and your family can enjoy.

                        This was our 1st experience w/VRBO & it went just fine. The owner visited us to collect the balance at the date/time that his directions stated that he would. We found the porch door was not closing properly & upon notifying him at that time, he arranged to have it repaired within a day. Our 3 1/2 year son loved the swimming pool. It was very convenient to the villa as was the playground. We appreciated that a previous tenant left a basket of beach toys and an umbrella which we put to good use. As divers we found the villa a short drive from several shops/boats in Key Largo. Tavernier is within 10 miles if divers are looking for a change in scenery. We enjoyed day trips down to Theater of the Sea in Islamorada & Bahia Honda State Park just past Marathon. Kids can have a photo shoot interacting w/dolphins/sea lions. Bahia Honda is perfect for sunbathing, kayaking, snorkeling... we like Calusa Beach as it is shallow & postcard perfect! Closeby, the community park has lots of options for families. The waterpark is a bit pricey we thought but the pirate theme very cute. Also, took in a sunset sailboat ride on Windjammer from the fisheries marina just up the street (probably could have walked down the street to board!) This was our 4th trip to the Keys but we managed to add some new restaurants. The Pilot House had excellent food & gave our son some food to feed the fish through port holes in the bar's glass bottom floor. Sunsets & outdoor dining at Senor Frijoles, Bayside Grille & Lorelei's (Islamorada) are worth it - the food was good too! Other restaurants we enjoyed included Buzzard's Roost, Upper Crust Pizza, Mrs. Mac's & Harriette's. We loved the villa's nautical theme. The washer/dryer was a godsend. The 2 screened porches provided nice breezes to just enjoy the moment. The sun deck was great for when our son cat-napped. Speaking of cats, we liked to walk the property & couldn't believe the big fish in the lagoon. Our only suggestion would be to add a map for the Kawama property since there are several buildings & the marina is currently under reconstruction so some areas are roped off. We very much enjoyed our vacation & would definitely recommend this villa to our family & friends.

                        Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.

                        This property is well maintained and looks as it is presented in the listing. Fernando quickly answered any questions we had as we planned our stay. My husband and I were looking for a base to explore all of the Keys and the Everglades and this worked perfectly for us.The kitchen is well equipped with all new appliances and the unit was very clean. It is located toward the back of the complex so there is very little traffic and it is just steps from the pool and lagoon. We appreciated that there is a curfew on the pool which allowed us to enjoy our screened porch and balcony as a romantic retreat at the end of the day. We enjoyed the activities available at John Pennecamp State Park which is just minutes away. The Fish House has fabulous seafood and we liked the Keys atmosphere of Mrs. Mac's Kitchen with its excellent food. At Fernando's recommendation, we drove down to Islamorado to celebrate our anniversary with a sunset dinner on the beach at Morada Bay Beach Cafe where the food is amazing which when paired with the live entertainment, unbelievable sunset, and feet in the sand seating--it made for a truly romantic dinner. The complex was having outside maintenance completed including painting and concrete work done during our stay and we were both surprised and pleased at how unobstrusively the work was done so that it did not interfere at all with the use of the facilities. Travel distances to other areas of the Keys was not a problem for us as we were enjoying a truly laidback and relaxing time devoted to spending time with each other. The only negative we found was that the beach for this site is tiny. Travelers to the Keys need to realize that the beaches there are not the long white expanses found along the peninsula sides of Florida. We loved the wildness of the beaches and they provide perfect areas for snorkeling and diving. Exploring the reefs is just amazing. If you drive down to Key West, we recommend Captains Corner as your contact for snorkeling and diving expeditions along the reef. He and his wife are wonderful. We definitely recommend this property and Fernando is a wonderful host!!

                        Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

Pest Control is one of my top priorities since all properties located in this tropical environment are vulnerable to becoming infested with roaches, ants, and spiders. Nothing will ruin a family vacation faster than having to share your unit with these unwelcomed guests. That is why all my properties are treated on a regular basis by a Professional Extermination Company.

                      Year Purchased: 1994

                      About the owner: As a Miami resident for over 30 years, I have always enjoyed getting away to Key Largo for the fishing, boating, and relaxation that is unique to the area. Being able to share the Key Largo laid back life style with other families from all over the world has truly been one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. Over the years I have been able to meet so many people and share stories with them. They all seem to have the same things in common, they all love experiencing nature and the outdoors in a way that brings them closer together as a family. I am married to a very supportive wife Charlene and have two great kids, Sofia and Fernando Jr. They all love the outdoors just as much as dad. I am a Civil Engineer by trade, having worked for 11 years at a firm in Miami primarily in the areas of Land Development and Highway Design. In the mid 90's I began renting out my second home in Key Largo to generate extra income and as the saying goes "The rest is history". I still keep my Engineering License active (worked to hard to get it) and have since obtained my Real-estate License. I am currently a member of the Key Largo Board of Realtors and I'm presently serving as President of the Kawama Yacht Club Board of Directors.

                      Why the Owner Chose Kawama Yacht Club:
                      The resort is located in the heart of Key Largo on the more desirable ocean side. It is close to a variety of shops, dining, and markets.
