The house & location are amazing. The communication & amenities were good. Our only issue was we could not keep the house cool even after a visit from HVAC. It wouldn't deter us from booking again. It was most enjoyable

The home is beautiful and the pictures do an accurate job of showcasing this amazing property! We loved the land, the ocean view and access, the pool, and the decks. The interior rooms were perfect for our family and we loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked. The Key Deer greeted us multiple times per day. The kids loved the pool and basketball court. We had a fabulous week and look forward to returning some day! Michelle and Mark are gracious hosts.

Excellent house and pool

We loved this house. Plenty of room and beautiful views. We like being close to touristy things but not right in the heart of it. This place is perfect for that it’s close to key west and marathon but far enough you don’t feel crowded by people. The house has great amenities (laundry, pool toys, outdoor freezer, kayaks, etc)

A little piece of heaven

This property was amazing. It was a very comfortable house with each room having their own bathroom. The patio was a gathering place for the family and had incredible views. The pool is large and very refreshing. The wildlife and birds are incredible and the fishing was great. Would highly recommend for any family or group who likes a peaceful, private environment yet can get to Key West easily.

A wonderful home and getaway. Still close enough to Key West. Faces east for beautiful sunrises.

Owners were great and live next door. 30 minutes to Key West. We spent Christmas week with our boys. Large open floor plan great back porch and pool. We all had a great time. Fed the deer celery by hand. Only downer were the biting gnats of the keys. They kept us in at sundown.

Beautiful property with storybook views, everything was better than listed and very clean. The home owners mark and michelle may be thee nicest people in the world! We were the tenants from hell and mark bent over backwards to make sure we had the best possible time. He works on the property with all his free time after 12 to 15 hr days at his regular job to ensure his tenants are happy.. if they will let me back i would definitely stay here every year..

Peaceful Paradise

We loved our stay at the Blue Heron…we were greeted when we arrived by the Key Deer that made frequent visits during our stay. The view is gorgeous. The home is big with an open feel. The owners Michelle and Mark are easy to communicate with. We loved hanging by the pool, fishing off the pier, dinners on the huge covered porch. Key West is a 40 minute drive south. We definitely hope to return in the future. If you are into a rustic chill environment Big Pine Key is the place for you. Thanks Michelle and Mark for sharing your beautiful home.

Great pool, spacious property.

The property is very spacious with a very large pool. The access to the sea is not the best, it is only accessible with kayaks. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The fridge was not freezing properly, the clerk came to evaluate quickly, but did not pack it until the end of our stay. There was no shredder in the sink either, but it is not something that is needed so much. We saw deer everyday on the property. I think it would be nice if they had some beach items like chairs and umbrella for guests to use. There are plenty of towels to use at the house and on the beach. Overall we enjoyed the property, and would rent again on a next trip to the Florida keys.

I'm not sure what you meant when you said that access to the ocean is only with kayaks. The property has the best boating access to the Atlantic Ocean from the North side of Seven Mile Bridge in all of the Lower Keys!! It is only one and a half miles to the Atlantic and a short run to what is called the "Back Country" on the Gulf side. Our dock is 70' long and as you know it is in a protected area. There is a minimum depth of six feet. 33' boats have had no problem getting in and out. Please look at Google Earth as proof of how great the location is for boaters. Hope to see you again. You may cosider renting a boat on your next visit.
