Staying in this home for a month was an incredible experience for several reasons. First, the owners and property were exactly as advertised. The property is in excellent condition, recently updated (it seems), and a perfect home for relaxing with friends and family. The owners were proactive in their communication at all phases of the stay. During the stay, we had a minor maintenance situation and they responded immediately. Secondly, the neighborhood is great. I've stayed at many locations through the years in the Keys. We so enjoyed the different "vibe" at this home compared to others. The majority of residents across the canal and next door are permanent home-owners. As a result it feels like a community and the folks their were friendly and warm. One neighbor loaned a tool I needed and helped me fix an issue on my boat. Another is a phenomenal charter boat captain (marathonsportfishing.us) who was friendly and helpful, giving us advice and tips as we went out fishing. When I had some equipment failure, he loaned me a spare to get me through. Conversations with his wife and him were regular and always enjoyable. I felt like we left the area with friends waiting when we return in the future. Finally, the location itself is perfect. Great restaurants are near by and easy to get in to. Golf in Key West and all the other Key West sites are 25-30 minutes away. Marathon is even closer. Great home, great location, great community! I won't hesitate to repeat it in the future!
