Gorgeous Oceanfront Home with heated pool, 350' pier, WIFI and more

We really enjoyed our week!! The house was perfect for our family. The new dock is awesome, our kids were able to catch fish( red snapper and something else). Our week was very windy and water visibility was only ok so the heated pool was a favorite.

Shanie and Kevin were very helpful.

Thanks

Great view...family loved the dock...house was well equipped and perfect for a casual Keys vacation

We had a great time. Just a couple things about this beautiful establishment.....1) the main bathroom needs some serious work in the shower. The shower head leaks water and sprays every where. I am afraid that the moisture on the ceiling will eventually start to mold. The same shower has a bamboo rail that falls out constantly.

2) we purchased wash cloths as we couldn’t find any.

3). The smell from our beach didn’t bother us as we are aware that it is seasonal and we have stayed on the ocean side before and enjoy watching the sun come up.

4). The dock is fabulous!!!! We enjoyed kayaking, fishing and sunning on the pier! Great place just needs a little TLC.

This was our first time to the keys. We pulled up to the house and was hit with a stench that was overwhelming. This nauseating smell may be a normal thing but first time visitors need to know. It was the rotting seaweed that was pushed to the shore. This rotting debris lined the entire property's shoreline at least 15 feet deep along with all kinds of trash, buoys, bottles, cans, plastic containers, etc. Standing on the sand area you saw massive litter and rotting debris. The lots are empty on both sides. No one is cleaning that either. Other lots looked good. This was not an overnight culmination because we saw what the tide brought in daily. The smell wasn't as bad some days but always present. The pool had a multitude of dead worms and tree foliage. Floating and sunk to the bottom. Super disappointing. We saw a pole and net and decided we would clean the pool ourselves. Little later after we arrived, the maintenance man shows up. He is there to take the trash cans. He does nothing with the pool. He said that he turned the heater on earlier. We talked about the terrible smell. He stated that it was normal. He left. Very surprised he left with the pool looking bad. We scooped it for 4 days and wore water shoes because no way you could get everything out of it. I emailed Shanie that there was an issue with the filtration. On Wed. the maint. guy comes back and cleans the pool. I beg him to leave skimmer on. I know that there is no way you can keep a pool clean of floating debris unless the water is going thru there. He tells me that they don't like to leave the skimmer running because they are afraid the pool water would evaporate below the skimmer lever and burn up the pump motor. I promise that I will fill the pool with water if it starts looking low. He leaves it on. For the rest of our visit, the pool stays clean. Shocking what a skimmer will do... Upon entering the house, I was a little surprised that it wasn't cleaner. Like the front door was filthy where people open and grab the door. The lamps and blinds were super dusty. Some closet doors needed fixed and cleaned. Expected it to be a little better kept. The ad is incorrect. No kayak or canoe. (Maint. guy said not for a long time) There is no gas grill. The hammock was present but unusable. Texted Shanie. The oven didn't work. I called Shanie. (replaced day we left). We were not in a financial position to change places so we were forced to make the best of it.

My husband an I along with his siblings and spouses went on our first all together vacation and stayed in this wonderful home. We had a great time and had plenty of space for all of us. We had so much privacy and the view was beautiful. The downstairs bedroom just to let others know has. The access to the upstairs unless you go outside, which worked fine for us but just I case you have little ones. We will definitely be revisiting in the future.
