Beautiful Property

Located right on the Gulf side of the Keys. So very relaxing. This is an excellent location mid way down the Keys between Key Largo and Key West. Many close beaches and a walk/bike path close by. Loved it.

Epic sunsets

We looked forward to our stay for months and we weren't disappointed. The location - in between Islamorada & Marathon - was very convenient. Easy drive down to Key West. The unit was clean & cool, the A/C does a good job & that's important in south FL. We really enjoyed the fishing off the dock. There's tarpon & snapper every night & plenty of bait to attract them. The property is really quaint & there's plenty of places to enjoy the epic sunsets. The owners were very friendly & helpful. I personally loved hanging out with their Lab, Cuda! Having the boat ramp right there & the boat docked right outside our door made it so easy to just get in it & go. It's the only way to go if you're bringing your boat. We had a great time.

Everything I hoped for and more

I've vacationed in the Keys several times over the last ten years and so, I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for when I found the listing for Sunset Villas. In particular, I wanted a place where I could snorkel and catch fish without leaving the property. Sunset Villas fulfilled those expectations and more. I caught snapper and tarpon every day, all within 100 feet of the door of the apartment! While snorkeling there, I saw lobster, a sea turtle, a Cushion sea star, and several species of fish, including Gray Angelfish, Spadefish, Parrotfish, Cardinalfish, and a grouper. I also saw a manatee from the dock on three days of my five-day visit. And in the evenings, I was treated to beautiful sunsets while eating fresh fish in front of the apartment. The apartment was up-to-date, well appointed, very clean, and comfortable. The bed was especially comfortable and I slept very well there. Bill, the owner, was extremely cordial. He took me on a leisurely tour of the property when I checked in and, during my stay, he offered a few recommendations on things to do and places to eat. He also shared several fishing tips and even netted some bait for me one morning! Sunset Villas is a great place to stay and I'm really looking forward to returning.

Cozy paradise

What an amazing place. Everything I needed was perfectly provided; shade, sun, clouds, fish, pelicans, privacy when I wanted it, company when I felt like talking. Every day I walked to the nearby bridge for sunrise; every evening I spent two hours watching the colors bounce off clouds and water. I hiked trails at Long Key State Park but most of the time I stayed in my spacious apartment, quilting, painting, and reading. The bed was great, the WiFi strong, the kitchen well-provisioned. What a perfect place to get away.

Great place modern well kept up

This is the place for you if you have a boat. Dont get me wrong its not just for boaters. First they have there own boat ramp easy in and out. Sunsets are amazing, the back area and docks are great. The inside is updated and clean, unlike most of the other places. Would i stay here again absolutely. David

About the host

Hosted by Katrina Wiatt

Host profile image
Sunset Villas on Conch Key, which was formerly known and operated as Harry's Fishing Lodge, is owned and operated by Capt. Bill and Katrina Wiatt. Bill and Katrina met at Virginia Tech in the '80s, lived in Texas during the '90s, then 'kicked the corporate life' and purchased this beautiful Conch Key property in 1996.

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location! Bill had the vision within 5 minutes of walking on to this property ... and Sunset Villas was born soon after. Boaters, water lovers and fishermen alike keep coming back, year after year, to enjoy our piece of paradise on Conch Key - it is truly a Place for the Chosen View.

What makes this property unique

Sunset Villas on Conch Key offers some of the most fabulous OPEN WATER sunset views in the entire Florida Keys! We literally can see the sunset 365 days of the year ... each and every one is unique and special in its' own way. We also have boat dockage directly on the Gulf of Mexico with access to the Atlantic Ocean in less than 5 minutes via the Long Key Channel Bridge. Conch Key still has the feel of the 'old-time' Keys, so come and visit and see why we have over 85% return customers staying with us.
