About this property

Charming Oceanside Retreat!

Welcome to your dream getaway: a charming oceanfront cottage nestled within the historic district of Tavernier.

Incredible view of Tavernier Key from nearly every room in the house. Imagine....deep-water, ocean access just footsteps from your vacation in PARADISE!

Watch the sunrise from the wrought iron bed without venturing outside. Lounge in the hammock or relax in the expansive private verandah. Two minutes from movies, gym, shopping, restaurants, supermarket and hospital - can it get any better than this?

Interior rooms are tastefully decorated with tropical, neutral tones. The expansive floor plan of the great room makes gatherings super easy as the kitchen is integrated with dining and gathering spaces. BARE FOOT ELEGANCE is the phrase which comes to mind with this spacious 1 floor, all tile beauty!

Three bedroom, two and a half bath custom designed home is unique to the historic area of Old Tavernier. Each bedroom has direct ocean views & European antiques enhance the decor.

Great room features 2 glass top dining room tables (can fit up to 10) and the adjacent table on the verandah can accommodate up to 8. There is a gas grill available for your use - just BRING YOUR CATCH!

If you are familiar with the upper keys, you will know that we enjoy the finest diving, fishing and snorkeling in ALL of the keys. Popular dive sites inlcude Hens and Chickens, Molassas Reef & Pickles Reef. 2 Kayaks available for your use - ENJOY!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Tolly

Host profile image
We live and work in sunny South Florida year round. We have 4 children and 9 Grandchildren so it's a busy time with family! We love to spend time outdoors by the water, hiking or skiing. We love hosting and enjoy sharing our special home with you!

Why they chose this property

We were first drawn to the keys for the scuba diving and snorkeling. We were so lucky to have found our little piece of paradise and we hope you enjoy it as well. When I'm in the hammock, I feel that there truly is no better place on earth to get away from it all!

What makes this property unique

The upper keys have everything you could ever want for your stay! The best dive sites are here and the fishing is amazing! If you have kids, there is a cinema nearby and lots of nice quiet waters for boating and kayaking. Not far down either - fly into Miami or Ft. Lauderdale and your drive is a very short and scenic one indeed. You can easily make a day trip to Key West to have a chance to see all of the keys during your visit. After a stay with us, you will want to return again and again to experience the true luxury of a private oceanfront home.
