    • My father, sister and I just returned from a week at Boot Key Retreat and we had a wonderful time. It was truly a Retreat, we relaxed, swam, read and enjoyed the kayaks. My sister had never been in one before and now she wants to get them for her and her husband. Watched some beautiful sunsets from the upper deck and enjoyed the late afternoon breezes. Each room was decorated beautifully, and you had everything we could possibly want right down to games and books. I read Pompeii during my week there and thoroughly enjoyed it. My sister and I spend a major part of every day in the pool which was such a nice size, always clean and sparkling and the water temperature was so refreshing. We made good use of the kitchen and cooked some wonderful meals there and found Keys Fisheries which was a great place for lunch on the Bay. I'm already trying to figure out when I might be able to get back down there. Thanks for sharing your home.

    • We stayed for 2 weeks starting May 14, 2009. The pool was a must to keep the kids entertained. The location is excellent. For having a pool and being in such a great location, this house was a great value compared to to the many houses we researched. We were out on the water every day for either fishing, diving, snorkeling, and/or booze-cruising. For snorkeling you have the Delta Shoal and Sombrero Reef in very close proximity. We were very impressed with the world-class diving in 50-90 feet and speared many hogfish and grouper. If not into spearing you will enjoy viewing the turtles, eels, jewfish (goliath grouper), corals, sponges, and countless tropical fish. It was not lobster season but we saw many. For deep sea fisherman, it is a short run to cobalt blue. If into flats fishing, the gorgeous flats along the ocean side of the preserve are productive. We even snorkeled and dove around the 7-Mile Bridge, near slack water, which is loaded with monster tarpon. You really can't be much closer to the Bridge. The weather was great except maybe 2 days which we used for a Key West adventure. The bait freezer and garage are very handy for gear, etc. For good affordable restaurant fun close by, go to the Rum Bum. Also, try to go see Micah play in Islamorada if the weather is bad. We did everything in a 19 foot boat but the house can accommodate much bigger boats like some of the neighbors have. The neighbors were very nice. All in all we were very pleased and recommend the house to anyone who thinks price, a well kept interior, location, dockage, and a pool are important for vacation happiness. Thanks Linda, Doug, and Donna

    • Boot Key Retreat is a great and comfortable place to stay especially if you're a fisherman... Docking facilities are great and could easily fit our two 27' boats. Nice & short canal ride through Boot Key Harbor to reach both Atlantic ocean or Gulf of Mexico, passing by Burdine's Marina where you don't even have to get off the boat to get gas, ice or bait!! Then, after a day of fishing, you come home and refresh yourself in the pool, clean the fish and relax on the deck. Afterwards, you cook your fish and enjoy it on the top balcony with a view!!! What else could you ask for? Nothing, Book Key Retreat has it all... Edith & William - Quebec, Canada

    • What an awesome house in a perfect location! Easy access to the open water for fishing and snorkeling and it's also very close to Sombrero Beach and shopping. You don't have to leave the property though. With the pool and the kayaks, there's plenty of entertainment on site. House is very nicely decorated and is perfect for 2 families or 3 couples. Also loved having coffee and other drinks out on the deck overlooking the canal. Very peaceful to watch the wildlife and sunsets! Would love to return again next year.

    • Nice house with accessible double car garage for vehicle or water toy storage. Our truck was garaged for the full visit. Photo's do not reflect the nice updated flat screen TV currently in the Family Room. Just like home for us. High Speed internet worked great. Nice interior layout for families. Fantastic view off the deck. No obstructions across the canal other than nature itself. Good view of Boot Key channel enabling you to sit on the deck and view a wide variety of boats coming and going, in addition to the great sunsets. Plenty of docking area and the sand beach puts you in the mood for Margaritaville while watching the boats and the sun playing off the water. The heated pool got plenty of use and was a nice diversion. The bicycles were put to good use too. The kayaks are available for touring the harbor, protected for the most part from wind and waves. We used our jet ski's to low speed tour the harbor (no wakes please) and to explore the 7 Mile Bridge. Sombrero Reef was within view of our ride. Sister's Creek is another ride that's interesting if you get the opportunity to take to the water. There are plenty of good restaurants in the area in addition to access to parks for hiking. Try walking the pedestrian bridge next to the 7 Mile Bridge. If you go all the way to the end, you'll get to view the many recreational fishing boats while they pull in the catch of the day. We look forward to returning another time for more sun and fun. The Currys Wicomico Church, Virginia

    • This house is not only beautiful but is in a perfect location. The canal is within minutes of the Atlantic or Gulf. The house is in a nice, quiet area, half way down the keys. The decor is beautiful. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you'll need. There are videos and books for your use. Grocery stores, restaurants, and fishing stores nearby. This was one of our favorite vacations, location, and rental house.

    • What a great house! We had a wonderful vacation and Doug and Donnna the caretakers could not have been nicer. Fishing and snorkeling was great and close. I recommend you ask Doug about his boat for rent. It was great!

    • If you are a scuba diver or fisherman this is the perfect location for both. The owners thought of everything from gear storage to bait freezer to fish cleaning table with running water. Boot Key Retreat was the perfect place for a family vacation also. With the pool and the patio and deck, not to mention the beautiful interior of the home. The kitchen/dining room area was a great place for eating and fellowship. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Boot Key Retreat and are looking forward to a return trip in the future. Sincerely, The Henry Family
