The condo was very clean and we really enjoyed the pool, the restaurant next door, and we never got tired of walking around the marina looking at the boats and the manatees. Other guests were very friendly. The condo was not the one listed. Ours was on the third floor, not the 1st floor. However, we were ok with that as we did have a very enjoyable two weeks staying there and we would definitely consider renting with Mike again.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Now, I can tell every one "Carrol Shelby" stayed at my Condo. It was a pleasure having you! Carrol Shelby was an American Automotive designer, race car driver and entrepreneur coming up with the AC Cobra and Mustang for Ford.

Perfect for my Wife and I

In town to shop for property. Location was not only perfect for the areas we were looking at but also in being able to speak with the locals about the area. The Cass Cove, or whatever the name of the bar next to the condo, was a great spot for a nightcap and/or dinner everynight. We'll be back for our next stop when it's time to sign to build!

Keel Cay condo

Condo with nice pool. Condo provided 2 TVs, good amount of dishes, kettles, utensils, condiments, paper towels & TP, and linens. Cute beach theme. Overlooked the pool, quick walk to outdoor bar, store, & restaurant. Marina is steps away, too. Mike, the owner, very nice and responsive.

Great condo and friendly people!

My daughter and I stayed for a week and had a great time! The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything you would expect. The kitchen has everything you need. The pool is very convenient and the people there are super friendly. The owner was very responsive to all my questions before we arrived. Check out the outdoor patio at the restaurant for great drinks, food and nightly activities. On Fridays, there is a Farmers Market out front and the food vendors are wonderful...especially the fresh fish guy. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay and very nice accommodations.

Burnt store marina

Had a great time, great place for two people. Mike was great with communicating. The condo is on the marina side, a couple of the pictures made it seem like it was pool side. We were happier it wasn't. Had views of the sunrise & sunset from the lani. Quite place, we are in our 50's and we were the young ones. The restaurant next door has entertainment that was great! We are planning on seeing if the property is available again next year when we travel to Florida.I will gladly recommend this to anyone traveling in the area, unless it's the same time we want it lol

We are so sorry that there was some difficulty with check- in The confusion arose because we called in your wife's name as the guest and you gave your name at the gate It is important to use the name you give us to avoid any delays Regarding the outdated TV, since we just purchased the property we have updated this to a 55" Smart TV with Netflix, Hulu, etc capabilities We hope you will give us another opportunity to make your stay at Keel Club a pleasant one

Nice place to stay

We stayed here for a week. We enjoyed our time at the condo. Neighbors were all very friendly. I’m not sure where the heated pool or hot tub were, because we never found them. We did have fun however! Our waitress at the Restaurant our last night there however was not very good. Seemed to cater more to the regulars and forgot about us. I had to ask the hostess for our check. Just FYI, nothing about the property was a bad experience!
