Nice house but boat use was challenging during low tide
The house was comfortable. The manager was exceptionally responsive. The owner was easy to reach. The one constant challenge was using our boat (27' Grady White) at low tide. The water depth at low tide is so low that we had to push our boat out 200+ yards. During many of these pushes the boat ran aground and required three men to push and pull with ropes.

Beautiful House and Great Location
Southern Diversion is a beautiful, comfortable Keys house, directly on the Atlantic ocean. The view from living spaces and most bedrooms is stunning! The 2 acre property is extra special for the Keys. The layout of the house worked well for our family with two primary bedrooms with en suites and bunk rooms for the younger children. The outside porch was a fun addition to the living space, and the pool deck with lots of shade was wonderful for kids and adults. The kitchen was outstanding with 6 bar stools for the large counter and all the dishes and extras needed. The second refrigerator in utility room was helpful for large family! The dock was an excellent amenity for our boat. And the location was excellent with all the nearby shops, Publix and restaurants. We rented a golf cart to get around. We usually stay further south in less populated areas, but Islamorada with its many conveniences and with the nearby snorkeling reefs and the sandbar makes it great for all the family. The host was very helpful with information before the trip. Hope to return in the future.

Family Time
We had a wonderful family stay. Jon, the property manager was very helpful during check in! We loved the location, so close to grocery shopping and restaurants. We spent a lot of our time at the house , enjoying the gorgeous outdoor areas. The water was beautiful! We were six adults and six younger children. It was really nice to have so much room for everyone! The beds and linens were very comfortable, always important to us! We had a great time and will be visiting again!

Beautiful
This place was hands down a Cadillac in a land of Buicks. The Southern Diversion has everything we needed. The beach was stunning and the water was crystal clear. Sea life was amazing. We saw a nurse shark, sting rays, box fish, barracudas, needle fish, and more right off our dock. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. Our family will definitely be staying at this place again.

The keys are something different
We absolutely loved our stay in Islamorada. We have visited the keys a few times and never want to leave. This property was absolutely incredible. The pictures really don’t do the view justice of how beautiful this view is. Kids saw lots of fish off the dock every day and loved it. The property was maintained beautifully and the property manager helped in anyway we needed. We be booking again and cannot wait to go back. If you have considered the keys, do it! You won’t regret it and this property is one a kind to stay at. Thank you guys again!

Perfect setting for our family
The property was everything that was listed on VRBO. The pool area and beach is where we stayed most of the time. It was very nice not to have to haul everything for the toddlers to the beach. The children could nap and the adults were still able to be out by the pool and beach. It was nice to have shaded areas for those not wanting to be in the sun. The only drawback to the beach was the seaweed. We were not able to get in the water at the house. The seaweed was thick and smelly. However the pool was perfect for us. We rented 2 golf carts for our family to use to get around town while there. We were very close to shops, grocery store and restaurants. We did not have to drive out except to boat rental companies. We would definitely recommend staying at this property. Our last day there, we had our own private dolphin show. 2 dolphins swam around and entertained the children by showing off. They were back and forth under the doc coming up to the surface as to say hello to the children. It was very entertaining.

Paradise in the Keys
We have stayed at many VRBO properties but this one was the best! From waking up to a beautiful sunrise and spending the entire day by the pool and beach! My family, which included 3 grandchildren were in paradise! Joe the property manager was so helpful, with all my questions. The location of the home is right in the middle of the key and close to everything. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Fabulous
Our group of kids, parents, and grandparents had an incredible time at this property. Terri and Joe were responsive and kind and helped with all our needs. The house was spacious, had a well stocked kitchen, lots of towels, and most importantly an absolutely beautiful location. We hardly left the pool and beach. Saw dolphins on our last day. Would stay again!

This location is perfect for families with small children. The pool sits in front of the house, the view of the ocean from here is outstanding. Beware, the air conditioner can not be turned below 72 or the system freezes up.

Wonderful escape
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the entire group (ages 5-46) had a great time. The house is gorgeous, very well-appointed, and very very near any shops we needed for our stay. Town is overflowing with great eateries, and many of them are within a two or three minute drive of the house. The dock out back and the pool and shaded seating area beneath were in almost constant use. We rented kayaks and paddle boards (supplied by Joe, who is an incredible resource) and spent time paddling and seeing several varieties of fish, even one small hammerhead! The only negative things I will mention are 1. the accumulation of seaweed, but this is a fact of life throughout the Keys, and did almost nothing to dampen our enthusiasm. 2. Some of the houses along the street to the property could use a little TLC, but this again did nothing to effect our stay, I only mention it as someone else coming to the property should not be put off when they see it, as it’s invisible once within the gate and in no way bothered us the entire stay. We had a great time and I wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Wonderful trip, wonderful location.

Excellent location for multi-generation family vacation
The property was exactly as pictured on the VRBO listing- it was absolutely beautiful!! Communications with the property manager were good- he came to fix a few things promptly and was very nice to deal with. The home was the perfect size for 8 adults/2 kids. The kids loved the pool, and exploring the property (especially the resident iguanas, hermit crabs and palm trees). The adults loved the privacy of location, the relaxed feel of the house, the pool and exploring the ocean tide pools. We especially loved the 2 full size refrigerators, as we had lots of beverages and freshly caught fish to store! Great job- we would love to stay here again in the future!

The inside of the house was a bit tired but the outside space more than made up for it. We thoroughly enjoyed the porch, pool, dock and grounds. Joe, the caretaker was very responsive to the few issues we had and was helpful with some local resources.
