About this property

Ground Level Home With Deepwater Canal And 30' Of Dock Space

Amazing canal front 3 bed conch style house located in prestigious community of Summerland Key Cove. It is the first canal from open water and one of just a few flow-through canals providing excellent water quality. The canal is deep and wide. Expect to see lobsters, crabs and other sea life on the sea wall. You will be surrounded by million dollar homes and just a few minutes boat ride from open water in the Gulf and Atlantic.
Property is close enough to Key West to matter (20 miles) but far enough away for R&R (rest and relaxation). Being on the end of the Key, prevents the irritating noise of Hwy 1 traffic, which is rare to find.
Features include:
Handicap accessible
Outside storage
Great access to Gulf and Atlantic.
RV & Motor Coach Storage/Parking Allowed
Large yard
High speed internet
Smart TV
Tile flooring throughout home
42" Flat Screen TV in Living Room
Ladder on seawall to get in and out of swim canal
Full size washer & dryer
Deep/wide/flow-through canal
Fishing & scuba paradise
Grill
Cocktail Table On Canal Side
Fish cleaning table
Bait freezer

Perfect Key's Home

This was my 3rd year staying at this home, and booked it for a 4th year. This home has everything you need. Love the no stairs and love the outside shower. Now there is a bait freezer and filet station that completes this home for my fishing and diving needs. Craig is a great home owner and really nice guy!

August Purple House Review

This Purple house may be on the small side, but it has everything you need. The A/C units are amazing and you can out right freeze in that house in August!!! The canal is super clean, and we swam in it almost everyday. The house is clean and the neighborhood is quite. Out front is a airstrip, and is really cool to see planes come and go. Having no stairs is also a huge bonus for a Key's Home.

Great Place to Stay

We loved staying at Craig's place on Summerland Key. Was great having a place to park my boat/Trailer on property (lots of room for parking). Right on a swimming canal which gave access to offshore or back country. Also since I love aviation and having a daytime runway right out the front door was great. Got to meet several pilots/neighbors who were great also. Craig was very easy to communicate with, highly recommend this place if your going to keys.

Super Summerland Spot

We loved our holiday stay at this rental. Communication with the renter was fantastic. He was responsive, helpful and flexible. The house was immaculate, pet friendly and the perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the protected canal for our small skiff and the airstrip was great entertainment. We loved our trips through the canal, meeting neighbors and enjoying Christmas lights. This rental is in a great spot as we snorkeled Looe Key on calm days and fished the gulf side when the wind was less cooperative. Summerland is a peaceful and relaxing key but also a short drive to Key West for more activity. We dream of learning to pilot our own plane, enabling us to once again visit this fantastic rental in style.

Perfect little Key's cottage

I have rented this property for the last 3 years, and absolutely love it. Craig is just wonderful to work with, and couldn't be more accommodating! The house is the perfect size, and the neighborhood is wonderful. Private airstrip in front, canal in the back, and the nicest neighbors ever! Hoping to be back next year!

Great place to stay.

Very clean and comfortable. Great location, convenient to many places to go and access to Rt. 1. Neighbors are very friendly. Craig is easy to work with and responds quickly to any question. Only minor negatives were the wicker furniture is not very comfortable, and no electric outlet in the bathroom.

Thank you for your response Mark and feedback. We are in the process of seeing what can be done to get a receptacle installed in the bathroom. I never realized there was not one in there. Thanks for pointing it out. I thank you for your stay and I look forward to your visit in the future.

Clean and neat

Nice neighbors, Canal in the back yard very clean and provides easy access to ocean for kayacking, fishing, etc. Nice shade tree in backyard. A few planes use the airstrip across the road in front of the house making for interesting entertainment. Close enough to Key West to allow experiencing the unique sights and activities of this one of a kind city.

Wonderful Ground Level Home That Is Well Maintained And Clean

This was the first time our family rented a home in the Keys and we could not have chosen a better location, home or owner to work with. The location was close to everything that we wanted or needed. We took our 22' Boston Whaler with us and it was so nice to be able to dock the boat and just hop on and off each day at our leisure. The house was super clean and obviously well cared for. It had everything that we needed. We rented bikes and kayaks and utilized them everyday! There was a gas grill outside and we utilized it almost everyday. Craig was super friendly and helpful. My husband is a big fisherman and a neighbor sent us numerous coordinates for the best fishing spots and my husband caught fish every day! We will definitely return and hope to make this place a yearly vacation spot for our family!

About the host

Hosted by Craig

Host profile image
I'm a professional engineer who loves the water. I am also a commercial pilot hinse the home on a airport. I live in SC most of the time where I have a electrical engineering company. I spend as much time in Florida as I can but when I'm not there I enjoy watching the tides go in and out from my porch on Edisto Island.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property because it had everything I wanted. It is a very warm and welcoming neighborhood, great fishing with access to the Atlantic and the Gulf, a runway to land on, a place to park the plane in the yard, and did I mention it was close to Key West ?

What makes this property unique

Home is on ground level so no stairs or elevators. If you have mobility problems, the property is easy to access due to walkways from the car to the rear of the house.
