OPEN -Endless Bay Views... Sues Promise private villas, beach, dock, Islamorada

By far the best family vacation we've ever taken and this was not our first trip to the keys!!!

The bay villa is stunning and everything from the landscaping the views the tiki hut and dock /swimming/snorkeling area is breathtaking. The owners of the property are wonderful people and so knowledgeable about the are and so willing and able to make your stay perfect!! , We will definitely be returning as soon as possible, the only part we didn't enjoy was leaving.

We spent 10 days at Sue's Promise and it was ideal for us. The main living space is essentially one room (with the bedroom down the hall). There was plenty of space even for four of us, assuming that you are all good friends. The best part, though was definitely the outdoor space. There are several different options depending on the weather and your mood...a covered patio, lots of lawn chairs (and a hammock) in the yard and then the dock, with the tiki hut and table.

We spent most of our time out at the tiki hut, fish-watching, swimming and kayaking. Everything was in nice shape and exactly as it was depicted in the pictures.

Paradise! My first visit to the Keys and won't be my last! Absolutely loved staying at Sue's Promise. Beautiful grounds, brand new dock to sit and enjoy the view. The owners are so kind and fun to talk to. Wonderful, relaxing vacation!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this little slice of paradise.. first .. it was absolutely gorgeous !! The villa was immaculate .. spacious and all the amenities you would need .. the backyard to the dock was beautiful!!! The sunsets were beyond amazing !! It was so peaceful and quite !! So close to great restaurants ! The views off the dock were just spectacular !! The pictures are exactly how it is ... but even better in person.. the owners even left a bottle of champagne for us after we told them we were celebrating our anniversary !! The grounds were so pretty !! Seriously I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet paradise !!! We will be coming back for sure !!!!

Have you ever read reviews where the person starts out by saying something like 'I didn't really want to write a review because I wanted to keep this place to myself'. I always thought that those type of comments were a little on the selfish side. I mean if you stayed some place that you really liked then why not write a nice favorable review right? Then my wife and I stayed about 11 nights in the Garden Villa at Sue's Promise last month in January. Now I don't think those comments are so selfish any more. However I do not mind sharing. Sue's Promise is a private tropical beach house. It has 2 downstairs Villas. Owner is Charlie and his wife Terry. They are SO nice. Best of all Sue's Promise is NOT ON A CANAL. If you know anything about the Keys the vast majority of vacation rentals are although advertised as waterfront are actually located on some small canal with the neighbors right on top of you. Not at Sue's Promise though. This is a real open water front beauty. Very private as well. I used to live for many years in the Caribbean on an island off the coast of Honduras and I must say that the foliage (coconut palms, sea grapes, orchids and etc.) and wild/sea life (iguanas, spotted rays, colorful tropical fish, manatees and etc.) are very similar right there at Sue's Promise. We felt like we were 'back home'. The Garden Villa itself is good sized and very adequately stocked with start up supplies of basic essentials. So nice not to have to run to the store immediately for coffee or whatever. Needless to say we will be returning hopefully sometime this year. Thanks again Charlie and Terry!! What a gem you have......
