We stayed in John & Robin's wonderful home the first week of January and we highly recommend it. We have stayed in vacation rentals for about 15 years now in the US and elsewhere, and we honestly felt that this was our best experience yet. The home is tastefully decorated, extremely comfortable, has modern appointments while maintaining it's Florida beach home charm, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay completely. John and Robin were easy to reach and very friendly. They had helpful recommendations about the house and the area and answered our questions almost immediately. They were obviously interested in making sure we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. John provided us with all kinds of recommendations on things to do in the Keys, and in Miami. The home sits on a channel and a lovely, safe and quiet street, about a half block from the ocean. The pool is brand new, fairly large and heated. Beds are very comfortable, and with living space on three levels, it offers a lot of privacy if you need it. We loved the spacious balconies overlooking the channel and pool, with Adirondack chairs to relax in. We also LOVED the fab porch swing chair on the pool level. There was even a commercial ice machine in the garage! The owners offered three kayaks, bikes, and other toys to enjoy with family or friends. We used the kayaks one day and we were out on the ocean in two minutes - beautiful! The home was spotless, and the kitchen well appointed with all we needed to cook and enjoy dinner on the patio by the pool. There are fish markets galore in the area, so on a number of days we picked up fresh fish or seafood and cooked at the house. The patio had very comfortable seating and tables, along with a gas grill that we used one night. All of the furnishings, inside and out, were high quality. Manatees swam up to the pier on a couple of occasions while we were there. We enjoyed walks in the early evenings as there is a nice long trail about a block away. Stores and restaurants are minutes away, including a couple of nice venues where you can have cocktails and watch the sunset from the beach. We hated leaving and would return to this amazing home in a heartbeat!
