Why Jimmy Mathews "The Sunset Studio" chose Islamorada
The location is awesome. The entire outside of the building and property has received an update thanks to a recent assessment to the owners. This property was just remodeled 2014 (top to bottom), painted, and updated with new appliances. The unit was completely repainted and has new tile floors everywhere. Its a Studio Apartment but it very roomy, spacious, and has everything you need to have a wonderful vacation. Everyone at this location is VERY friendly as soon as you walk in the door and very family orientated and a great family atmosphere. Everyone is extremely nice and friendly at the condo. The condo manager Maria is extremely helpful and goes out of her way to make everyone feel at home. We have stayed at many hotels and resorts throughout the entire keys, from Key Largo to Key West, and this is the BEST value and experience possible. UPDATES:No extra charge for your private WIFI. The Hurricane proof sliding doors are the newest addition.

The Snyders
Another Amazing Year at Summer Sea
My husband and I just spent a week at Jimmy & Katie's condo in February. The studio condo was perfect for two people, including four, as our daughter and her friend came to visit a few days. The condo was clean for the most part (last renter left the fridge smelling like fish). Jimmy quickly addressed our concerns and the cleaning lady promptly corrected the problem. The kitchen is fully stocked for preparing meals with grilling area outside which is nice as well. The kayaks that come with this rental is an added bonus, makes for a nice sunset view. In the future, we plan to rent this unit again, as Jimmy was very helpful in responding to any questions that we had. Customer service is important to us, and we could tell that he cared about his clients. Thanks Jimmy!
nice beech and pool but studio not so nice
We stayed here last year and there was a lot to be desired, but as it was a new owner we gave him the benefit of the doubt. We came back this year and it was the same broken blinds and toilet seat, the same lack of tableware( not even enough cheap silverware for a place setting for two and no small plates) and no supplies. We had to buy napkins, toilet tissue, papper towels, dish detergent and laundry detergent. He even had us lie for him so he wouldn't have to pay a renting fee. We have been coming ro rhe Keys for awhile but next year we are trying the west coast because of this renter
I truly expected this review from you. After last years experience when you tried to lie and stay and extra day by saying your check out date was the next day, and clearly you knew it was not. At that time I felt bad and even paid for your hotel. This year you left a disgusting mess behind for the next guest. The fridge smelt so bad of rotten fish and the cooler too. My cleaning lady said she never seen the place so bad. If anyone reads Lori C's 5 star review that mentioned this issue. In regard to the supplies, it says right in the agreement those are not supplied by the us. We have had over 28 5 star reviews and care deeply when our guests stay. I am happy you will not be coming back.
Great value for location-everything we needed
Studio was very organized and space well utilized. Summer Sea is great location and pool and beach area are very nice. Jimmy Mathews has well stocked unit- the two kayaks worked out great. (I cooked mangrove snapper a couple evenings caught from kayak) He had keys and written instruction to use all services at facility. (game room, gym, gated parking) The murphy bed was a little firm which worked well for my back but some might like a softer feel. Over all the month went way too fast.
Thank you so much for the kind words and we are excited you enjoyed the Month of January. Hope to have you back.
Great little condo
The condo was great, the pool was warm, and the weather was beautiful. Right in the middle of everything we wanted to do.
Great stay, comfortable accommodation
The apartment was very nice and very well organized. It was perfect for 2 of us and our 1-year old son. The sunset was unbelievable. The property has 2 pools heated just to the right temperature. The parking was easy. We had everything we needed, including a small crib. As a suggestion, please change the mattress and the window shade. Jimmy was great and easily reachable by email and phone. Thanks for the beautiful vacation!
