This fully equipped, conch-style home is situated on tiny Conch Key at the southwesterly foot of the Long Key Bridge, Mile Post 63, bay side. You will enjoy direct views of great sunsets from our dock, deck, porch, and roof-top deck. And great boating, fishing and diving from our 65 foot long dock.
Fishing and lobstering and crabbing opportunities are truly excellent. From our 65-foot dock you will have direct access to the Gulf (Florida Bay) and a vast array of flats and shoals and channels. Proceeding easterly, a five-minute ride in your boat will take you under the Long Key Bridge and into the Atlantic Ocean. The reef is just five-and-one-half miles away.
The property is spacious. On-site parking is ample. The property is completely walled in on the landward side and served by a hand operated access gate. The property (and rental) includes a separate cottage with single bed (and pullout) with a/c, cable tv, and phone.
