We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Little Slice of Key West. The home was very well stocked and super clean for our stay. The neighborhood is on a quiet street where we could get in daily walks and the canal provided us with bird watching, fishing and even a visiting alligator. Our hosts always responded quickly to our questions or concerns. Our two weeks were especially good for escaping the single digit temps up north!

The floor plan was well laid out. The screened porch was nice to have morning coffee and watch the wildlife on the canal. The home was furnished with everything you would need and had a large selection of coffee choices. Kitchen was well furnished. Lots of yard games and fishing poles fully equipped for fishing in the canal.

We enjoyed the best stocked Vrbo we ever stayed in.

We loved the adorable house and the fun dock. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Great Weekend Getaway!

Perfect house for a long weekend getaway for two couples! The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. It was very cute and well decorated to fit the Key West theme. The owners had thought of everything you could need. The well stocked coffee bar was a wonderful touch. The property and house were very well maintained and clean. Communication from the owners was great the whole time. We could not have asked for a better VRBO experience.

About the host

Hosted by Lorrie M Smith

Host profile image
We both grew up in New Jersey and one of our favorite things to do together is travel. We decided to buy a house in Palm Harbor because it's an area that we've been traveling to more frequently (Lorrie's mom moved down here 20 years ago). We got to know and love the area and knew this is where we want to ultimately be. Other things we love are skiing, hiking, eating, and golf (more Ron's game than Lorrie's). When we are in the Palm Harbor area, some of our favorite things to do are to watch sunsets on the Dunedin Causeway, go to the beach at Honeymoon Island, visit the area breweries, walk around downtown Tarpon Springs and the sponge docks, go to Phillies Spring Training games, go to the many festivals that Dunedin has, visit Tampa, and also just drive around and sightsee.

Why they chose this property

We tried to set our property up the way we like when we travel... it's a small property, but we hope that people find it as cozy and relaxing as we do. We like to hang out in the back yard and fish and relax. We also like exploring the lake by kayak.
