We very much enjoyed staying in this beautiful, comfortable home that is furnished with everything you could need. We liked the proximity to Key West as well as the beaches at Bahia Honda. The property is well maintained and Donna was very helpful. Thanks for allowing us to share your beautiful home!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Very nice, newish home on one of the few deepwater lots on Ramrod with Ocean views. Southeast breeze makes for a comfortable time in summer vs canal or backcountry residences. Inside is clean and comfortable with granite, stainless etc kitchen and a TV in every bedroom plus one in the family room. Large DVD selection of movies, stereo with spkrs inside & out and well-kept pool. Owner is helpful if you need her but stays out of your way when you don't. We've stayed on Ramrod several years and this home, while the priciest we've been in is worth the extra $. We will be back next year.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/1

This is our 2nd stay in Paradise and my husband and I find it to be the best home away from home with so many more benefits! This has become our annual family and friends’ vacation destination. Couldn’t ask for better accommodations, you truly feel like you are in your own private resort. Beautiful view of the water and surrounding islands, palms blowing in the breeze, smell of fresh sea air, sunshine and moonshine that you have never experienced before! Pool fun every day….no lack of lounge chairs for sunbathing and plenty of tables and chairs in the shade where the adults and grandkids enjoyed midday snacks and meals. Even with the few overcast and rainy days, we just relaxed and took in the accommodations and the view, made selections from the movie library and watched a movie or two, played board games and took further advantage of the gourmet kitchen and whipped up more than a few fantastic meals! Love the Tiki Hut with the beautiful view of your own private beach and the gorgeous waterfront….can still hear the faint sound of the music playing in the background, palms blowing in the breeze, air infused with the fresh smell of the sea and thinking that the plaque saying “It is 5:00 Here!” couldn’t be more true! If you decide to venture away from your little piece of paradise, there is so much to do and so very close….good luck fitting it all into your vacation stay. Key West visits, No Name Pub in Big Pine Key (love those little Key Deer), Taco Tuesdays at Looe Key Resort Restaurant & Bar (a Key’s bar if you ever wanted to experience one with great local entertainment, chicken wings and hot dogs…oh and Tacos too!), The Square Grouper restaurant, Bahia Honda State Park, I could go on and on. And certainly not to forget the fishing……fishing opportunities abound in the Keys. Whether you bring your own boat down and keep it at your own private dock here or if you charter a boat….this stay we caught Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo and hooked 9 Tarpon. We enjoyed sashimi Wahoo poolside with friends and neighbors (everyone is so friendly here). And even if you don’t have the same fishing luck….the adage of “a bad day fishing is better than a good day working!” is so very true here at this awesome home by the sea! The owners are wonderful and responsive! They even shared a great Fish Taco recipe with us, which was out of this world! The Johnson family & friends can't wait for next year's stay!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/1

Beautiful home on the ocean on a quiet dead end street. Photos accurately reflect the home and amenities. Owners are very responsive and provided helpful information for our trip. Location was great - within minutes of a grocery store, drug store and not too far for a trip to Key West. House was very clean, updated, great pool and poolside area along with nice screened in porch area. Small private beach area provided some fun in the sand and boat watching. We even saw some fish, crabs, iguanas and birds. Plenty of TVs to keep our family happy and surround sound stereo system was enjoyed from the pool. We'd recommend taking in a round of mini golf, a trip to Bahia Honda Beach (but go early in the day to avoid crowds and we preferred the beach to the left as you enter), snorkel trip to Looe Key, and the Dry Totuga trip out of Key West ending the day with the Mallory Square entertainment. If we are ever back in the Keys, we'd be looking to stay here again. Wonderful well-maintained property that we would recommend to family and friends.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

What a perfect vacation home! This is truely a pardise in the Keys. Everything is there for you, just bring your bathing suit and the rest is there for you to enjoy! Dave and Donna are like old friends now, they could not possibly be more accomadating. There is so much to see and do in the Keys and have this home to come back to beyond words. All of the Donna's suggestions were so helpful and a great start to all there is to see and do. The home is close enough to all the attractions yet secluded enough to feel like you are off in a private resort. I would highly reccomend this property to families, couple, fisherman and divers.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Wow! This place was everything and more than everyone expected. The house was well appointed and gorgeously decorated. Location was excellent, close to the keys, with many many good restaurants and fun things to do. The neighborhood was very nice to walk around and everyone is so friendly. The layout of the house was perfect with breathtaking views of the water from all living areas. We enjoyed many days and nights outside at the Tiki Bar, poolside and of course the fishing dock. We especially loved the underwater dock lights. So cool. The house has many amenities, kitchen is fully stocked, and pool can be heated (which is nice). The ambience with the lighted pool and lighted docks is beautiful. What more can you ask for. The property was immaculate and very well maintained. The owners from the very beginning were very pleasant and very accommodating in every way. They had many good recommendations of the where to go and places to eat in the area. Owners were very accessible through email as well as telephone calls. We felt like we were friends by the end of the trip. The recommendations for things to do and restaurants were excellent. I would highly recommend this to my friends and relatives and look forward to going back. We enjoyed all activities and restaurants. Restaurants recommended: For a sunset dinner and cruise: Sunset Culinaire Tours in Key West. It was a lovely sunset boat ride with 5 star dining. Highly recommend it. No Name Pub. Worth the 10 minute drive. Saw many key deer along the way. Excellent pizza and decor! LOL. Mangrove Mama's food, service and prices were excellent and not a far drive away. Would highly recommend the Sea Turtle Hospital. Was very informative and fun! Looe Key Tiki Bar and Boondocks would recommend. Very close by. Good entertainment and good drinks. At Boondocks, Put Put is fun (even in the rain). I would highly recommend this house.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/1

You can not go wrong with renting this house!! The owners were very helpful and on the spot with anything we needed. We have rented for about 7 years in many different locations and find this house is perfect for us. The kitchen is the most equipped I have ever seen in a rental. The house is perfect for many families. The location is good, close to Marathon and to Key West. We traveled to both many times so it was very convenient. I would definiely recommend this house to anyone. We will be returning every year that is how much we liked it!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We just completed a month of the most restful, meaningless vacation ever, and have never enjoyed ourselves more. Fantastic views, wonderful days in the pool, trips to Key West, great dinners on site and at the many nearby restaurants, all made up a truly great winter respite. This was our first visit to the Keys, and we are in love.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My family had an amazing time at Ramrod Key!We were amazed at the house,the pictures come nowhere close to doing this place justice,it was absolutely beautiful! It was in a more rural area,away from the partying of Key West,but close enough to visit if you like,close to several restaurants.We did venture out several times,but what we enjoyed the most was being at the house relaxing in the pool,tiki hut,or just on the comfy couch watching movies.It truly was like our own mini resort! Can't wait to go back!!!! The Tant family from GeorgiaRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This home had all of the amenities that anyone could wish for. PERFECT for all ages. A great choice if you plan on bringing your boat, no canals to go in and out of every time. All you need to bring is a tooth brush. Everything you need is provided. Kitchen was fully equipped. The outdoor speaker/stereo system was wonderful - you also have the capability to plug into your MP3. Pool was awesome - lighted - we called it the disco pool. So much fun! So very accommodating! We will be back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
