CHECK OUT A FEW WORDS FROM THE OWNERS BELOW INITIAL INFORMATION...

4 bed/5 bath beachfront on over 1 acre with a private beach, heated pool & dock
Separate upstairs Den area sleeps up to 6 kids.

* 7 Day minimum rental - Saturday to Saturday *
SORRY NO WEDDINGS OR LARGE EVENTS ALLOWED
Max 8 adults + 4 children
You must be 25 years+ to rent this home and must be staying for the duration of the rental.

Our house is one of the most highly sought-after vacation homes in Islamorada that regularly books years in advance. The Last Resort is a firm favorite of multi-generational families and friends looking to create memorable moments that last a lifetime in a lush, private, and tropical setting.

As owners, we have spent 23+ years providing the best possible Keys experience for guests. Michele handles the day-to-day operation of the property and ensures that guests have everything needed for a stress-free vacation. We believe that guests should not have to worry about 'extra or hidden' charges so our rates INCLUDE many of the things other vacation rentals charge for such as pool heat, BBQ gas, kayaks, and baby equipment. Though the property is self-catering we supply many household items so you don't have to worry about purchasing them, such as laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, garbage bags, kitchen paper, cleaning fluids, etc.

We also don't charge a security deposit or pet fee. We operate on the honor & integrity system, giving our guests an authentic Keys experience that keeps them returning year after year as repeats.

From years of international travel with our kids, one of my pet peeves was the amount of equipment that I had to pack, just to go on vacation. Another was arriving at houses that were sparsely stocked or having to rent additional equipment. Greg and I made the commitment to provide as many supplies and equipment for our guests, from all kitchen equipment to baby equipment, from hairdryers & straighteners to lifejackets and water shoes, all to alleviate the need for guests to stuff their suitcases and truly make it a 'pack your shorts, flip-flops & toothbrush' kind of house.

The Last Resort is truly in a beautiful setting and we look forward to the opportunity to host you, your family, and your friends someday.

Michele & Greg

Best Week Ever!
We had an absolutely AMAZING stay at The Last Resort! Our family of eleven (6 adults and 5 teens) gathered to celebrate Christmas and our 50th wedding anniversary. The house and property turned out to be the perfect location for this occasion - the large (yet cozy) house, the idyllic ocean-front setting, the awesome sunrises from the perfect porch, an incredible heated pool, and so many extras too numerous to list! Heartfelt thanks to Michele for going above and beyond to make our stay so comfortable and fabulous! We couldn't have asked for a better host, location, amenities, and accommodations! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Michele and Greg! Our warm memories of our stay at The Last Resort will be forever in our hearts as one of the best weeks our family has ever had together!

Paradise
This property was indescribable. We had a family reunion there. We were close to everything, but really didn’t need to go anywhere. This place has it all. It’s a tropical wonderland.

Magical
The drive up the long circular driveway to this beautiful home made us instantly relax. When we walked up the porch steps and in the front door we were faced with an amazing view of the calm ocean and palm trees on the sandy beach and we knew it was going to be a good vacation. The house is spacious and beautifully appointed. The pool and outdoor seating and dining were great. Everything we needed was at the ready. There were two...or more...of everything in the kitchen.There were lots of activities for all ages in the area. Our children arranged for a bagpiper to play from the upper deck and then on the beach on our last night and it was a magical way to end a magical week. We all highly recommend this property!!

Island Fun in the Hot Sun
This property is amazing!! The owners have STOCKED this thing. Don't bring a beach or pool towel, there are plenty ready to go. Beach toys, pool toys, Kayaks, Beach Chairs, Grill (with Propane and back up tanks). Are you traveling with young children (we had a 6 month old in our party)? They have what you need, high chairs, swings, nursery area, stroller, etc... The kitchen has a ton of supplies as well, spices, appliances, aluminum foil, parchment paper, and more. This place has 2 washing machines and 2 dryers so just bring a few things, pack light, and use the wash often, be a tourist! Communication with the property before during and after was quick, easy and responsive. They truly want you to have a good time and focus on your vacation. Make sure to take advantage of all the tours and offerings Robbie's has while on the island. Definitely a good time there. Get in line early, there is a reason this property is hard to book and stays busy (we booked a year in advance). You will enjoy your stay!! Thanks Michelle and crew, we had a blast!!!

About the host

Hosted by Michele Rosborough & Greg Feeley

Host profile image
Greg and Michele are married with 4 children in total, 2 out of College, the 3rd a Freshman, and a rising 9th Grader. We live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina which is a suburb of Raleigh. We have owned our home in Islamorada since 2000 and prior to that, owned a condo in Truman Annex in Key West, FL since 1993. I work in Finance for Cisco and lived/worked in England from 1998-2000 and Dublin, Ireland from 2000-2004 with IBM. I enjoy spending time with my family, Traveling, Islamorada, Sports, and listening to boring financial shows and the History Channel (since I am always working). Michele is from Dublin- Ireland is a Management Consultant and has been an avid world traveler both for work and recreation.

In 2021 we added a 2nd property called The Last Resort Too. This larger home is set on two acres and is 6 bed/6.5 bath. One of those beds/baths is in a separate but attached guest cottage, perfect for a couple seeking some peace and quiet.

The house is located at MM 77 and is about 300 yards north of The Last Resort towards Robbies.

The VRBO number for this house is 9250358ha The Last Resort Too has a beautiful walking and fishing dock but unfortunately is too shallow for all but flat bottom boats. The dock is a big hit with the kids who love fishing in the evening.

We hope you like this latest addition.

Why they chose this property

Close proximity to local shops, dining and Marinas. This is one of the largest property sites in Islamorada with a private sand beach and private canal dockage across the street. I purchased this home primarily due to the size of the oceanfront land as well as its charm in being a ground level home with lots of windows for viewing the beautiful surroundings (homes built after 1974 in the Keys have to be elevated) One of the more important considerations was the safety for kids and that is was an authentic Keys Conch home. It was built in 1922 and has some very interesting history to it. Islamorada and the house is a great location and makes it perfect for reconnecting with friends and family away from the hustle and bustle of life.

What makes this property unique

The Last Resort has overwhelming views of the Atlantic, large open verandahs, 165 feet of private sandy beach and a 15 x 30 foot seaside heated swimming pool, all on over one acre of private tropical land. (MM 76.7) The property also boasts a 37 foot protected concrete dock on the canal adjacent to house with direct ocean access. Quiet seclusion awaits you at this unique destination. Located in the middle of the Florida Keys, in the upscale neighborhood of Lower Matecumbe, this four bedroom, four bath home; with 4,000 square feet of living area, offers you the ability to relax, entertain and enjoy the many recreational activities found here. It is the ideal home for extended families due to the majority of living space being on the ground level. We are also a pet-friendly property! The wide-covered front and back porches are ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. The rear verandah overlooks breath-taking ocean views, palm trees, and the white sand beach, while the front verandah overlooks a beautiful tropical landscaped garden. Our vacation home also has a Roof Top Viewing Deck, again with stunning views of the palm-lined sandy beach, and views of the blue & turquoise Ocean as far as the eye can see. See our Photos. Recognized as a preferred location by International Designers & Publications for fashion and swimwear photo sessions, the interior is casually furnished, tropically decorated, and provides every imaginable convenience. You will find an abundance of great island shops, full-service marinas, and popular local restaurants nearby!
