We spent 9 days at this wonderful place in the Keys. The house is wonderful and has everything a person would need. Very clean and comfortable. We love to cook and the kitchen is very well equipped. The backyard is incredible. Just so wonderful. We had a great place to keep our boat at the dock and had so much fun just playing right there with the kids. Thank you Mary for having such a wonderful place. We will return.!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

Just stayed at Capt. Shawn's 4/2 4/9/11. There are no hidden surprises here, and I finally felt like I hit a home run on VRBO. Clean, comfortable and every amenity you need, just like promised and pictured on this site. We pulled our 22' center console down, and the yard has plenty of room to maneuver. The house is near the end of the street, with plenty of turning room. Community boat ramps a few blocks away, and is very well maintained. House's canal is only a 5 minute drive. Tavernier Creek is a bit narrow, but we were out in the ocean channel in about 15 minutes. Very nice location! Would recommend to anyone.Recommended for: Sightseeing, pet owners, age 55+, adventure seekers.

Our month stay went too quickly. House is very comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed sunrises on the deck with a cup of coffee. Easy access to everything. We ate lunch at Mrs. Macs, Key Largo. Great food. We enjoyed pizza at Boardwalk Pizza (yum). Ate at Alabama Jacks, Key Largo (country western band on Saturday & Sunday). At John Pennykamp State Park, we enjoyed glass bottom boat cruise of coral reefs.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.

The house had a gorgeous yard with a jacuzzi... I found myself spending most of the time under the tiki hut, laying in a hammock or barbecuing. The location is also great with a restaurant and grocery store within walking distance.Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We two couples stayed here a week in mid-April and were highly impressed. The house was spotless and had very nice upgraded accommodations. We thoroughly enjoyed everything in the backyard, from the nights in the hot tub to hours under the tiki hut (especially nice during rain showers!). The two hammocks were also a special touch. It was great to dock our boats, with a short ride out into the Bay and Ocean. Even got to pet a manatee in our canal. The owner and housekeeper were very helpful and friendly. We four thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children.
