Upper Matecumbe Key holiday lettings

Excellent family holiday once again. Couldn’t ask for anything more, great accommodation, great location and great fishing what more can you want.

Such a fabulous place to stay; the condo was great & the local area was fab. Everything had been thought of to make our stay just perfect: from providing sandwich bags, a drawer of spices, kayaks, SUP’s, pool towels, candles and good quality wine glasses! If we wanted it, it magically seemed to be there. The complex is also kept in the best condition: the pool was a perfect temperature, the fire pit at night was lovely and we made good use of the communal BBQs. One of the paddles for the SUP broke and Steve was there the next morning with a replacement. It really couldn’t have been any better.

We've been visiting Islamorada for many years, but this is the first time at Manatee Bayside house. The location couldn't be better for us, with Lorelei (our favourite bar) being a little further down the road, but also close proximity to the Publix supermarket, Morada Bay, Chef Michaels and WorldWide Sportsman. The house is cleverly laid out so that most of the bedrooms have an amazing view over the pool and dockside. Bathrooms are spacious, especially the shower areas! The whole place was exceptionally clean, tidy and catered for all our needs. We spent most of our time outside around the pool and dockside where families of Manatees visit daily... which is a rare thing for a lot of places in the Keys. Use of the Kayaks and Paddleboards to go and watch the sunset was really memorable. A huge thank you to our host, Chausey, for a truly awesome holiday (vacation!) and we hope to visit again.

Such a calming peaceful cottage. Charming to look at, spacious inside. All amenities you could want for a stay, within the house & outside. We stayed as a couple, had 21ft boat for a week & the key heading, & mooring was a breeze. Position for access to both the Everglades & the Atlantic was perfect. Lorelie restaurant & fishing boat guides were within walking distance, oh & so was the Brewery 😁 When I fished out there was plenty for my partner to wander round in close proximity & that was just walking. New publix is just a mile down the road. Found beer in the fridge on arrival with a little welcome message, from Jackie & Tim, which having arrived at 10 in the evening was very welcome. Never actually got to meet the hosts, as a welcome early arrival of a new grandchild meant they were a little occupied.... (congratulations to you both on that) however despite this minor distraction! Jackie was always checking things were good, had a nice conversation with Tim on the phone & I just know that if any issues had occurred they would have been sorted promptly. So in summary Absolutely loved it. Would definitely go again. Would definitely recommend. A small gem on the waterfront in Islamorada.
