Turtle Cove! Heated Pool, Spa, Dockage, Pet Friendly, Kayak, Oceanside!
Enjoy this 3 BR/2BA Atlantic side canal home with quick ocean access! Amenities include fish cleaning station, electricity and water at dock, bait freezer and heated pool with a tanning ledge! Catch a show in the outdoor TV while relaxing in the hot tub!
Our waterfront, single-family home, affectionately named “Turtle Cove” is a tastefully furnished Florida Keys home and located on a quiet side street, in a residential neighborhood, equipped with four (4) outward facing security cameras to protect guests and the property; there are NO cameras inside the home.
The open living and dining room space is great for gathering with plenty of seating for everyone … a great environment to sit back, relax, and talk about your daily and upcoming adventures!
If you don’t have a boat of your own, there are plenty of rental/guide services in the area. We have one (1) two (2) person kayak for guest use. When you aren’t out enjoying our beautiful Atlantic Ocean or your private pool and hot tub, you’ll enjoy a host of other entertainment options…...you will be minutes from Sombrero, Key Colony and Coco Plum Beaches, the Turtle Hospital, Crane Museum and just a short drive to the Dolphin Research Center or Aquarium where you will learn about the wonderful sea life in the area.
In case you can’t get to the outdoors or to our sites or are winding down in the evenings, we have a large screen TV with a DVD player to watch movies and have a few games and puzzles if that is your thing.
There are so many great restaurants to try in the area, it will be hard to pick a night to stay in and cook on your own. But if you do, you’ll find that our kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials. You’ll appreciate the stainless steel appliances and granite countertops with plenty of room to prep! Of course, we provide standards: A coffee pot, Keurig, toaster, blender, and plenty of serving dishes.
The main level has two bedrooms: One canal side with a king bed, TV and sliding glass doors to access the outside; the second has a queen bed. Our lower level, which is accessible from the outside, has a full and twin beds, a seating area with a TV and a little serving station with a microwave and small refrigerator to hold some essentials.
Our outdoor living area provides a gas grill and even a bait freezer for your convenience. Use of the dock is complimentary and has a cleaning station, electricity, and water access.
We have such a great property to offer. Hopefully, the description answers all your questions but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or special requests. We look forward to hosting you, your family and guests in our home!
NOTE: If we are offering a special last minute rate/promotion, it is for last minute specials ONLY, we do not apply the special rates to advance bookings made when the special was not offered.
We ask for a Saturday to Saturday bookings from mid-February to the first week of April; all of June, July, and mid-August. We sometimes have some flexibility to book different dates during the offseason but only if we are within a couple weeks of the dates.
Boat size: No more than 30' recommended for our canal. We have guests currently booked that have concerns about the depth of the canal coming in so I'm providing more information to help future guests - Past guests with a 30' boat ONLY had issues during king tides at low tide. If you are an experienced boater, you can get in and out of our canal without a problem. Please reach out before booking if you have questions or concerns so we can provide more details if you require them.
Pets: Please note we have a size limit and prefer smaller dogs, not too hairy - please send us a note first to confirm your pet is okay to stay. It's an extra $25/day (plus tax) for each pet. VRBO should ask you to put in the number of pets and charge accordingly but if their system doesn't pick it up, we'll add it on. If you are unsure, don’t add your pet in now, we will do it later when you decide. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.
Occupancy: Rates are based on the standard occupancy, which is 6. You may have up to 8 guests by Monroe County's Ordinance, but we charge additional occupancy fees of $125/week per person in this case. If you are unsure of your total, book with 6, then update us when you know. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.
Parking: The front of the house has mostly gravel and a concrete driveway. There is more than enough room for 2 cars and a trailer or two depending on the size.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We enjoyed everything about our stay at this beautiful waterfront home! The pool and patio area with the hot tub was amazing! The home was clean and updated and the bed was very comfortable. We had everything there that we needed for our vacation. Communication with the host was also very good. We would come back and stay again when we are in the Keys!

Our stay at Turtle Cove was fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the pool. The dock was convenient for our boat. . Gail, property manager, was very helpful in recommending restaurants, dog parks and answered any questions we may have had. We loved our stay so much we are looking to book the house for next year!

Couple vacationing alone enjoying the sites, restaurants and ocean
Clean and orderly The location was quiet and easy to find The owner was very helpful and answered any questions
Great location. We really liked how the house was close to everything.
First boat trip to the canal is a little intimidating when the water is down but it's fine after you have done it once.
Would stay here again.
Jennifer and her host Gail were extremely responsive to any and all questions we had! The home was perfect for our stay! Stocked and ready to go! Was clean with plenty of bath and pool towels! We used the pool and spa every day after a long hot day on the boat. The canal was fine after navigating during low tide. We have a 24’ center console boat and the lowest we saw the canal was 2.2 ft. We would absolutely rent this home again for our family vacation! Thank you Jennifer and Gail for making our stay comfortable and enjoyable!
Our first visit to the Keys, the home was very well equipped and enjoyable! The pool was perfect for early morning and late night swimsuit and our teens loved having their own area downstairs to hang out. Would definitely stay here again.
