BOAT RENTAL: We offer to rent our personal boats to our guests. We offer a
Flats Boat, Bay Boat, and 28-ft Ocean Runner with twin 300 HP Verrado's.
In the pictures you will see all three boats tied up at the dock. Contact me for more information.

If you are fishermen, or divers, Southern Sunset is an excellent property. Dockage for two boats. The 38-foot dock has a fish cleaning table and wash down hose. The Tiki Deck has an additional 14-foot dock that will accommodate up to a 24-foot bay boat, or smaller. Fishermen will have a bait freezer, located on the ground floor. On the ground floor you will have plenty of room for all your dive gear, spear guns, fishing rods, coolers and other gear, OUT OF THE SUN. Cruise 100 yards to the end of the canal, follow the markers and you have a straight shot to Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary or American Shoal and beyond. If you want to explore the back country, it is 3 miles (15-minutes) around the point to the Kemp channel bridge, then out to the Gulf.

There is parking for four vehicles, and one boat trailer in the front of the house. Until he gets his house built, my most amazing neighbor will allow additional parking for our boat trailers there on his property next door. You will have plenty of privacy here with fences and lush landscaping enclosing the property on both sides.

Ready to relax? Sit on Sunset Balcony, or Tiki Hut dock at the end of the canal, and watch the amazing sunsets across the bay. Thanks to the prevailing easterly winds, the canal is most often clean and clear. Swim & snorkel right off the dock. Launch our paddle boards from the easy access launch ramp. Paddleboard out to the bay and snorkel for Lobster. Use the outdoor shower to wash off the salt water.

Feed the plentiful mangrove snapper, Lane Snapper, Small Grouper, angle fish, and baitfish right off your dock. You will get hooked on that for sure. We supply the first bag of fish food!! Have a morning cup of coffee on the Sunset Balcony and look down to watch the Anhinga (snake bird) come up the canal each morning to chase, AND CATCH, small fish around the Tiki Dock at the end of the canal. The water is so clear you can watch him swim underwater, fast enough to chase down his meal.

For outdoor dining, use the outdoor refrigerator and barbeque grill for family gatherings on the shaded ground floor. You have table and bar seating on the ground floor for 18. On the Sunset Balcony there is additional seating for 8 at the wicker table and chairs, plus 2 more at the Sunset Table for 2. Inside you will have a dining table for 6, which can be converted to a table for 10. In the kitchen is seating for 4.

If you find time for TV, you will have a living room with three loveseat recliners and a wall mounted 72-inch ROKU smart TV with cable, internet, DVR, and Wi-Fi. Plus, a smart TV (no cable) downstairs behind the bar in the outdoor living area.

The Smith family invites you to turn our house into YOUR house and enjoy your stay in the beautiful Florida Keys.
