Beach House Paradise

My wife, 10-year-old son, and I brought my parents (ages 68 and 70) to Key Largo for a wonderful couple of weeks. We found this property on HomeAway and booked it almost a year ago, and I'm thrilled to say it lived up to our expectations. The property itself is lovely, with meticulous landscaping and plenty of grounds to explore and chase lizards (if that's your thing!). The beach is very nice, and we spent a lot of time walking up and down the beach in front of the house, finding hermit crabs, blue crabs, clams, etc. Once evening we saw a pod of dolphins swim by just yards from the neighboring property's boat dock, which was amazing, and because of its westward facing view, we paddled out on paddle boards and/or kayaks almost every evening and watched the sunset from the water. The water remains shallow many yards out, so if you are bothered by deep water, or sudden shelf drops, this should reassure you. Although there is a fair amount of jet ski and boating traffic, especially on the weekends, it is never obtrusive and is typically far from shore.

One thing we appreciated is the multiple sets of outdoor furniture which provide a variety of places to sit, relax, and enjoy your vacation. In fact, there are at least three complete sets of tables and chairs: one by the pool (in which we spent a lot of time!) which is covered, nice for those fierce but brief after rainshowers, another covered off to the side of the house, and yet another down on the beach itself. Additionally there are multiple lounge chairs by the pool and on the beach at the water's edge. The interior of the house is equally well furnished, and equipped with everything we needed. It is one floor, which is nice if you have older family members who might struggle with stairs, but the two main bedrooms are sufficiently separated (and each with its our full bathroom) to provide privacy. My son enjoyed having his own room which was next to the bedroom in which we stayed.

Adriana is a fantastic property manager and responded quickly to my many emails and texts whenever I had questions, both leading up to and during our stay. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely home to any family looking for a special and unique place to stay in Key Largo, and we hope to visit again in the future! Feel free to contact me with any additional questions I may be able to address. Thank you Adriana!!
