The property was everything we were looking for and then some! 10 days was too short. Owners were accommodating and helpful during our stay. If your looking for a quiet getaway this is the place.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Me and my family had a great time swimming and snorkeling as well as kayaking and having an easter egg hunt on an island. It was really cool. Thank you for renting your house out to my family and friends. I will love to come back.

We just returned from a fabulous week at your house with 3 college kids and 1 high schooler - great time had by all. Thanks so much for the boat tour and the delicious crab. Caught lots of fish and saw lots of wiildlife. Perfect location off the "beaten" path but close enough to be able to get to Key West etc very easily. The house is well equipped and has all the home comforts - we hated to leave!

Owner response: We are glad you had a great time and we do hope you will back to visit us.

Big Torch Key Vacation

Review Submitted 08/15/11

The house and location was excellent.............private location...easy access to Key West..great snorkeling and lobstering near by. The house had everything we forgot to bring and then some. Donald and his son were great about giving us a tour and making us feel very much "at home." Don's neighbor said "he would give his shirt off his back to make sure you had a good time"...I believe it. Nice people to deal with. The pool was clean and the water felt great...it was hot in August. Would strongly recommend if you enjoy privacy and incredible sunsets. Thanks much for a great vacation...my family had a super time.

All had a great time at your home! Really enjoyed the pool and fishing from the pier. It was exciting to see the sharks, rays, and barracudas. The house was well supplied and very convenient. Please enjoy the goodies we left behind.

The host was very hospitable and welcoming when he arrived to greet us. And the crabs he brought back from his fishing trip were excellent! The listing for the home was fairly accurate however it was written when the home was relatively new or just prior to putting it up on VRBO. We found numerous things broken, worn out, or unable to be used (bikes, sailboat, volley ball set, chairs and tables, shade umbrellas). The pool skimmer was inoperative and the chlorine dispenser was broken. Screen doors were broken with one with the screen hanging out. The view however was wonderful and we did enjoy the use of the pool as it was. I would have a hard time recommending the property to someone else until things were brought back up to reasonable condition, especially for the rental rate being requested.

Our family, ranging from teenage boys to older grandparents turely enjoyed our stay at your home. The quiet early mornings on the dock right out back was my favorite indulgence. The grandma's had a great time testing out all the great places to sit in the sun or shade and read. The loacation was private but close enough to the action for us to enjoy a few days boating and diving on Looe Key and a day at Key West was an easy undertaking. The owners were prompt and responsive to all our prevacation inquiries. Don and his son met us on arrival and treated us like old friends and were generous in allowing us to use not only the home but the many recreational items there as well. We enjoyed the kyacks and canoe, and used the snorkling and fishing gear right off the dock. There was so much more we didn't have time to try. We all enjoyed the heated pool.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Owner response: Thank you for your review and we are very happy to know you enjoyed our home.
