Welcome from Sally & Andrew

We have owned our home in the Florida Keys since 1999.

Sally is a chartered accountant, Andrew used to work in the Logistics Industry and now maintains and manages our rental properties.

We are experienced owner managers and try to work to a simple philosophy of ensuring good standards and practices. Above all we ask a simple question. Would we be happy ? This question frames our approach.

(just read our reviews!) We have many 5 star reviews on various platforms as well as a good number of repeat visitors who return every year or two.

We have invested in a constant programme of modernising and renewing the property. Furthermore in the 2015-2017 period of time, most of the major structural and furnishing items in the condo have been completely replaced.

We are licensed with both Monroe County and Florida State with the appropriate professional standards documentation to undertake short term vacation rentals. Details available on request. All the main components, systems and appliances such as the A/C are on maintenance service contracts, whilst we tend to change many items over before they fail on a planned basis.

By the way, if you are guests from the UK or Europe and would like a bespoke quotation in Pounds or Euro’s, don’t hesitate to get in touch on email to ask us – we can adjust currency of pricing.

We hope we can welcome you as our guests, and look forward to helping you plan your perfect stay and adventures in the fabulous Florida Keys.

We had been visiting the Florida Keys for many years and spent time looking for a suitable property to purchase which would offer a range of quality amenities, lots of space and a tranquil location in the Sunshine. We also wanted somewhere that was central so we could visit Miami easilly if needed, but which wasn't three and a half hours from the international airport !

Our choice was eventually easy after reviewing every condominium community from Key West, through Marathon and upto Key Largo. We even rented some properties to test the locations for potential purchase and living in those locations.

We settled on Kawama Tower owing to the unique combination of location as it is central to everything. Then the amenities within the community are super nice, all maintained and just what we were looking for.

In combination, all of these elements make an attractive destination to visit. Both for us as owners, and for you as guests looking for quality accommodation for your vacation.
