First home on the bay ,Watch The Sunsets,Fishing,Diving, Snorkling,swimming,

My husband and I, along with our 2 middle-school aged sons, spent a wonderful 5 days in Key Largo at this house. The location is spectacular - the house is right on the bay in Sexton Cove and running along one side of the house is a canal. We saw manatees swim by along the seawall every day. Our sons fished off of the dock and caught many, many fish, from catfish, snapper, barracuda and even small sharks! They were thrilled with the fishing and my husband and I relaxed on the dock, and on the screened porch while the kids spent hours fishing. The location is perfect for sunsets and the water is so clear that we could see the fish going by: parrotfish, rays and even a spiny lobster! Honestly, we had little reason to leave the house - the kayaks that are provided were great for exploring the cove and canal and the house is equipped with great TVs and lots of spots to lounge with a book (or nap) during the hottest part of the day. We were delighted by the roosters that roam the neighborhood and the large green iguana that would walk along the dock. This is by far the best VRBO rental experience we have had. We had a few questions for the owner and he responded immediately and graciously. We will definitely be booking this rental house again soon!

This property has a million dollar view, great big screen TVs. The rest was the terrible. The electrical system was unsafe. Owner told me an electrician told him to bulldoze the place.

The outside light had three wires taped and spliced together and plugged into what seems to be a gfi plug that was duct taped to the outside of the home.

The air conditioner/heater (yes there is heat now) was repaired while I was there. I had to reset the breaker three times in a week. The electrical box for the air conditioner was replaced because it was melting. It was nailed to the side door railing (outside). A new thermostat was installed because the old on did not work with the unit and after it was replaced we also had heat. Your welcome Kevin.

The Fan/Light combo in the screened in deck was also taped and spliced together and plug into an outlet inside the washer dryer closet that was on the deck.

One of the switches in the main breaker panel was permanently tripped. I do not know what that controlled

Other orange/yellow extension cords under the place left me wondering what else was going on?

I am not an electrician but I wonder if Monroe county knows this is a rental.

There was not a level floor in the place. Felt like you could fall through the master bedroom floor.

The two kayak seats were both broken.

My wife and I stayed for a week in November just to get away and relax. The location was superb with great views. I enjoyed going out on the kayaks in the mornings. The water was a bit cool at this time of year, but I did manage a short snorkeling excursion off the dock. It was really nice to be able to fish right out the back door, even though not much action, again because of the time of year (did catch one good size mangrove snapper). The interior was clean and comfortable and big screen TVs made evening movie watching even better. Kevin was extremely helpful in resolving a couple of issues with the a/c and also graciously mailed back to us some things we forgot. We had the relaxing getaway we were looking for and will definitely consider a return visit during warmer months.

My husband and I chose this home for a week of diving and fishing and it was just right. In a quiet location but close to everything we needed - dive centres, grocery stores and easy access to the Everglades and lower keys.

The views were just as described and wildlife viewing was captivating. We saw dolphin and many many manatee right off the deck as well as rays etc swimming past. Also had a resident iguana in one of the palm trees and had visits from the local chickens!!

It was great to have the kayaks and to be able to paddle into the bay, up to the mangroves or up and down the canals. One morning when we were out for a paddle we got up close and personal with about 4 manatee who were sunbathing on the top of the water!!

Fishing was good off the deck and I did swim a couple of times from there too.

The home was very comfortable and although we spent most of our time outside it was good to have the lanai on the couple of rainy occasions. We do not spend time eating out and I had everything I needed to prepare our meals etc.

We had a fantastic week here and hope to return before too long.

My family really enjoyed our stay at this fantastic location. The home has an awesome waterfront on 2 sides of the property. Wonderful sunsets can be viewed from the screened porch or the outside patio right on Blackwater Sound. On our first full day at the property, we saw a manatee cow and her calf in the canal, a once in a lifetime surprise for us, and still talked about to anyone who will listen by my 4 year old.We enjoyed snorkelling right from the property and the kayaks were a BIG plus. We went out on them a few times, enjoying the easy navigating on the sound across to Stillwright point about 15 minutes away by kayak. The owner, Kevin, was very helpful and cooperative with us with our very late arrival due to a delay in our flight and the house was in tip top shape, very clean and well appointed, no surprises for us, his weary guests.The property is very close to a supermarket that had some great organic selections. We had breakfast nearby at the hideout on transylvania ave and loved the friendly staff. There is a little community waterpark close by that our little one loved. We also loved The Fish House and the Buzzard's Roost. Fantastic food and drink are both very close to this property. Just an FYI, we HATED the beach at Pennekamp Park, skip it if you are expecting sand, its the most purgatorial beach experience we ever had to endure. If we come to Key Largo again in the future, we hope this property will be available, it was such a true blue Keys experience! Thanks Kevin!
