Fantastic!

We really enjoyed our stay in Islamorada and the Lobster House was a perfect fit for us! We took our dog and she had a blast playing ball daily in the common area. We loved walking over to OV, visited Anne’s Beach and Founders Park,went fishing, spent a day in Key West, went to several nice restaurants and thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Peaceful getaway

This house and location were beautiful. The house was clean and close to so many restaurants and our fishing charter. I loved having my coffee on the porch or walking out to the dock to watch the water.

Wonderful Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Lobster Home. The property management company took care of everything and were excellent to work with. The home was so clean, comfortable and had all the basics needed. My only regret was not having a swimming pool like the other homes but perfect otherwise. Enjoyed sunning on the lanai and easy access to all Islamorada has to offer. Would stay here again.

Hi John! Thank you for taking the time to write a nice review! We are glad you enjoyed the property. We always want to be super transparent and advertise our properties accurately so guests never have false expectations, so I apologize if there was any confusion about the location of the property! The Lobster Home isn't situated directly on the water, it does offer convenient access to an observation dock and various water amenities just steps away. We appreciate your understanding and being a wonderful tenant, can't wait to see you back next March! Sincerely, Freewheeler Vacations

Alligator reef is amazing!

Fantastic house in a great location for our trip to the Keys. It worked out perfect for our week of wandering up and down the Keys. We would stay here again in an instant! Clean, comfortable with basic kitchen needs covered. The only negative was I called and left a message to get something corrected and no one ever called me back.

Quiet and clean but has some issues.

Gas grill was terrible and appeared to be burned, and the owner replaced it with new one immediately. The door lock wasn’t functioning and the door was fixed by maintenance quickly. The master bedroom's mattress is lumpy and needs to be replaced. Noticed very tiny live bugs on bathroom and kitchen counters. Quiet area with quiet residents in other buildings.

Hey there! Thank you for the review! They help us do our job better! We didn't know anything was wrong with the grill! In the future, please give us a call and we will have it taken care of! And yes, we get tiny water ants living on an island. Luckily the bug guy is there once a week! See you next year!

Free wheeler vacation rentals dropped the ball big time on us ! No help at all with real issues! Sent no one ! Should have $$ refunded poor customer service !

Thank you for your review, good or bad, it helps us to do our job better. In the future, please call us when you are in house. When you called after you left, to let us know you had issues, it was too late for us to be able to correct and not "drop the ball". Also, for your next stay we wanted to make sure you knew the batteries to the remote were changed and the beehive has been relocated off property. :-) Hope the snow has stopped and you are already planning on being in the Islamorada sun! See you next season. Tight Lines, The Freewheeler Vacations Team

Lobster House in Islamorada

The home was nice & affordable. It appeared clean, but there were tiny bugs in both bathrooms & the kitchen, that appeared to be attracted by water (in sinks, tubs, etc). We bought bug spray on 2nd day & that seemed to kill them. I liked the home it was nicely decorated. Very annoying however was the next door neighbor's alarm system as it went off very loudly multiple times every day! In fact one day it went off at 5am until 5:30am. Another next door neighbor had multiple barking dogs each time we went outside. The home is described as waterfront but it's misleading as you need to walk thru the owner's side yard to get onto the small fishing dock. We both enjoyed fishing off the dock, but the algae smelled bad. The home listing also says you have access to kayaks, but we weren't sure where they were located & we did see kayaks in the owner's yard but we didn't want to use hers as we weren't sure if they were for our use? Overall we enjoyed our stay, but were disappointed not to have a nearby public beach to use to swim or cool off

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback. While we would love to rent all of the homes surrounding this one, sadly we do not. So we have no control over neighbors, dogs, or noise. However, we were glad you reached out, and that the neighbors guests could control the dog for the remainder of your stay. As for the kayaks, for future reservations, they are directly behind the house on the waterfront. And call us! We are here to answer ANY question! Hope to see you again in the real near future!
