Thanks for your time Josh and great to hear that we can add y'all to our long list of happy families that have hung out with us over the years! Have a GREAT 2025 and hope to see y'all again soon!
We really enjoyed the outdoor space and spent little time inside. The pool was large and heated to a comfortable temperature. It felt very private and secluded, but within walking distance of restaurants, mini-mart and activities. We had a great time!

3 couples stayed, plenty of room & privacy. Excellent pool & hot tub. Kayaking past The Dolphin Institute w a short trek into the mangroves a short paddle away. Loved the fire table as our stay the weather didn't cooperate but the outside spaces saved the vacation.

It was VERY NICE to meet y'all Cynthia. I agree the weather was crazy as it never stays cool for more than a day or 2 at most and so glad to hear that you were able to " Paddle " throught it LOL. Y'all are welcome back anytime and I will order some regular weather for you too! Have a GREAT 2025!
Thanks for the Cudos Devon! Awesome to meet y'all and we are excited to hear that our home was everything you wanted and more. Hope to see y'all again soon!
Hi Jeanne, we are VERY SORRY to hear that, especially since we were communicating at the beginning of the week concerning a water leak you found, and during my personal walk through with you I made sure to mention that if you saw or needed anything to please contact me as you have my direct cell phone # . I never heard anything until Friday when you asked for a late check out and I explained to you that If we didn't have guests checking in that afternoon I would be more than happy to accomodiate you, but we need all that time to clean the home as it is a large home.
You texted me back " Ok, thx! We've enjoyed it very much! " In all fairness, we can't address and fix problems we don't know about. This home is a 1963 Old Conch Home which has been one of it's Main Attractions over the last 20 plus years it has been a rental. We hope you have a Blessed and Safe 2025 Best Regards
Thanks Lyndsay!!! Y'all make our job real easy! Glad we could be apart of your families vacation and come back and see us anytime! We just added 24K of new outdoor furniture on 2-17-24 and a bigger fridge also as some guest requested that it would be a big help. Have a GREAT 2024 and hope to see y'all again soon!
We loved our stay. The pool is perfect- shaded somewhat by the palm trees which was great during the day. And beautiful landscaping and lighting made the patio the perfect place to hang out. House was really nice and sunsets were amazing! We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for the kind remarks Nancy and it our pleasure to host you and your family. Ya'll are welcome back anytime and the sunsets are on us LOL. Thank again for your business and we hope you have a great rest of your summer!
The pictures really don’t do this place justice! The backyard area is unreal and the views are breathtaking. The house was the perfect size for my family of 8 adults and 1 baby. The separate cottage worked out perfectly for the baby and us! Also really enjoyed kayaking and fishing off the dock. Highly recommend.

Thank you for the kind thoughts Chelsea and it was a pleasure meeting y'all. Yes, we agree that this is a FUN PLACE for sure! and our Sunsets ROCK!
We wish y'all a Blessed Holiday Season and a Safe New Year's! Come back and visit anytime.:)
We recently booked for our family's annual holiday trip, and it was an absolute delight! The location was perfect, offering stunning oceanfront views that made our stay even more special.
The accommodations were top-notch, with a beautiful pool and spa that provided the perfect relaxation after a day of activities. We loved the variety of amenities available, including kayaks and a volleyball court, which kept everyone entertained and active.
Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better place to create lasting memories with our family. I only have positive things to say about our experience, and we can't wait to return next year!

Hey Danielle it was a pleasure to meet y'all for sure! I am very pleased to hear that we made one for the memory books for you and your family too that means so much to us! Thank you for taking the time to share as our future guest really like to hear from past guests what they thought about the home, area, and things y'all enjoyed. We look forward to having you back ANYTIME!
My family (10 of us) stayed here for a week to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. I don’t think the place could have been any nicer or more accommodating. The outdoor space, the pool, the volleyball court, and the sunsets were just perfect. The house truly sleeps 10 with room to spare.

Good Morning Drew,
Just touching base to wish you and your family a Safe and Blessed 2021 and hope to have ya'll back to see us some day!
Best Regards
We had a fantastic stay. The outdoor areas including the pool and hot tub are so beautiful. The views from the kitchen and living room are breathtaking. There are a few areas inside that could use a little refresh but we truly spent every waking minute outside so that didn’t matter. And the property manager, Guy, was so friendly and very responsive. All in all, a really memorable week!

Thank you for your Kind thought's they mean much more than you may think; and our interior refresh is Scheduled for May :) as we always appreciate our guests comments on ways we can improve everyone's stay! We hope to have ya'll back again soon and wish you an your family a Blessed Easter!
If you have a family “chef” with you, they may think the kitchen supplies are a bit lacking but if you've stayed at as many VRBO’s as we have, that can be expected. The bedrooms were fine. Communication with the agent was excellent. The exterior amenities is where this place shines. An incredible pool with spa. Private beach area with fire pit. Awesome gulf views. Awesome sunset views. Outdoor seating area, etc. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone. Plenty of places for kids to play or places for adults to relax

It was GREAT to meet y'all Jack and we are honored to add you to our very long list of Happy Guest's, for sure! We agree there are not to many rentals in town that offer this kind of family privacy and with Amazing Views! especially at this price point. The owners love families and over the years they have tried to keep the prices reasonable enough so everyone might come and check it out! Have a GREAT 2025 and look forward to seeing ya. Next time around! Please have that family chef shoot me some idea's on making the kichen " Chef Grade " too as we are always looking to improve our product! Best Regards!
The outdoor oasis that this home offers is perfect. We enjoyed amazing sunsets every evening. The house itself could use a bit of a refresh, but we spent all of our time outside so it really didn't bother us. The property manager was super friendly and quick to respond to all of our needs. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation.

Good Afternoon Toni and thank you for your kind remarks. Yes, we have been discussing that with the owner as well a fresh coat of paint would go a long way. Timing with a home like this is everything as it is constantly being rented. We do really appreciate all our guests input especially from guests that stay for awhile as they get to usually use everything an give us suggestions on nice additions etc that would help their experience. Keep them coming! Safe Travels and we are very thankful that you chose to celebrate your birthday with us and hope to see ya again!
We stayed here in winter with 3 families. The outdoor space is beautiful, with stunning sunsets and privacy. The home had plenty of room for our group. Unfortunately for us, the negatives outweighed the positives. Before our trip, I confirmed with the host the pool would be heated and hot tub would be heated to hot tub temps due to cold Feb outside temps. I was assured they would be. What we were not told is that the pool heater shuts off when temperatures drop below 55F, which happened often during our stay. As a result, we couldn’t use the pool or hot tub most of the week. We also only learned upon arrival that the pool and hot tub cannot be heated at the same time, which was tough for a group of 9 wanting to use the pool or hot tub at different times. There was no heat in the downstairs bedrooms, making those rooms very uncomfortable. The host said heat would be provided for us, but it never was. The home needs a deep clean. Kitchen items were dirty, there was heavy dust on fans and rafters, the couch smelled musty, and the guest house felt damp. We also saw a roach. There were several maintenance issues: washer not working at first, dishwasher problems, slow oven, water leaks, and unannounced repair visits. Communication with host became extremely rude and dismissive with frequent comments about “not being able to control the weather” the weather was not the issue, we knew it would be cold, the issue was the lack of clear disclosure and unmet promises.
We had an amazing time in the Keys! The house and location were perfect for our family. We had 4 kids ages 6-8 who could have stayed a month! We fished from the dock, saw all sorts of great wildlife and spent countless hours in the pool. The outdoor living area was spacious and the house was extremely well equipped. The location was great with food close enough to walk to or you could easily buzz to dinner up or down the keys. We have already discussed another trip to this house!

Thank you Jen and you all are welcome to come back anytime!
Fantastic property. We were a bit concerned at booking because of potential for noise from the marina nearby. This was not an issue at all - no noise at all and the property feels like an isolated oasis, completely surrounded by tropical foliage. Location is convenient to everything. The property was clean, spacious, and well appointed. One minor issue with one of the AC units was addressed quickly and efficiently. We were completely satisfied with our stay, would definitely recommend, and will definitely consider staying again in the future.
