Thank you for your review, Suzanne! We’re so glad you enjoyed the pool—it’s definitely one of our guests’ favorite features. For future guests, we like to clarify that while our home does not have a direct ocean view, it is located within walking distance to Sombrero Beach, which many of our guests love for its convenience. Being able to walk to the beach also means no parking fees or hassle, which is a big plus in this area. We’re always happy to assist our guests anytime during their stay and pride ourselves on being responsive and available whenever needed. Thank you again for staying with us—we’d love to host you again in the future!

Great house for a large family vacation!

Would highly recommend this home to any large family. We have 5 children some with spouses and grandchildren on our vacation and it was the perfect fit! Plenty of room for everyone and lots of privacy. The pool and pool table were the biggest hits! We did most of our cooking on the outside commercial griddle. We also loved having 3 refrigerators. Hope to come back next year!

Great property for large group. All the things you would want for a large group. The owner was fantastic and had great information and exceeded all of our expectations. Just a note of caution is sometimes in July there can be a lot of mosquitos and seaweed in the keys. This has nothing to do with property or owner just something we did not know.

There is so much wrong with this I do not know where to begin.the description of the property has not been updated in a very long time.1. The pool spa does not work.2 the pool is to cold to swim in.3. The brand new out door kitchen was not brand new ,it was dirty grease trap was full dripped onto ground4 there is a garage on the premise which I was not aware of that had 3 people living them that were always around and their trucks were parked in the driveway 5 grill on the second deck was filthy.6. All the closets filled with junk nowhere to hang clothes7 draws all over house fill\ed with junk8 in upstairs kitchen some draws filled with pot and pan lids other draws filled with dirty pots and pans. No sets of either.9 Outside furniture was well used some to the point where you would not want to sit in them.10 There was a boat dock not in good shape.11 Lots of clutter all around the property. When walking downstairs from second floor you could see a pile of junk on the bottom floor. Not something I would want to see in an expensive rental.12 about those people living over the garage,one of them accused us of doing something to a package of his,come to find out he wasn’t even supposed to be living there.13 owners were around too much .I think they use the place tom store stuff they get at flea markets and garage sales.14 I can’t believe the reviews of some of the people who rented here .Whaty were they seeing ?

We were very surprised to read this review, as none of these concerns were ever communicated to us during the guest’s two-week stay. My husband and I both spoke with Mr. Kovacs in person while he was staying at the property, and at that time he told us he was enjoying the home and having a great time. We also spoke with another member of the group, and no concerns were mentioned. If any of the issues described in this review had been brought to our attention, we would have addressed them immediately. We live approximately 10 minutes away and make it very clear to all guests that they can contact us through VRBO, by phone, or by text if anything needs attention. Unfortunately, no messages, calls, or written concerns were ever received during the stay. For clarity for future guests: • The pool heater and hot tub were operational, and the systems were working properly for the guests who stayed immediately afterward. • Our cleaning team would have been happy to return immediately if anything had been missed. • The property description and amenities are accurately represented in the listing. • We are always available to assist guests during their stay and encourage guests to contact us right away if they need anything. We take pride in maintaining our home and providing a wonderful experience for our guests, which is reflected in our long history of positive reviews. We truly wish these concerns had been brought to our attention during the stay so we could have addressed them righ

Great Location/Amenities/House

The house was great. We had age ranges from 13 to 80. Good for the whole family. It was very short walk (5 Minutes) to Sombrero Beach. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook a great meal. The communication was great. Highly recommend. Great communication with the owners. Thanks for a great time!

The Best Rental ever.

This house had everything you could have wanted. The owners obviously take great pride in this property and do everything they can to make you feel at home. Captain Bob even helped us make pizzas in the pizza oven. Liz, the manager, was as helpful as can be whenever we had a question. I. cannot rave enough about this property and would go back there in a heartbeat.

Shark house review

The house was clean and the beds very comfortable! Loved the layout and the house was just so inviting with its colorful walls inside and out.It was so convenient each bedroom having its own bathroom. The space was very big that we were able to spread out and not be all crowded together. It was so nice having all the baby equipment available as we had our 8 month old grand. It also helped having three refrigerators to accommodate 11 people. We spent a lot of time in the pool. It was nice having a dock and being able to walk to the rented boat. We played air hockey, foose ball, and pool. We even put together 3 1000 piece puzzles that were at the house. We had a very enjoyable family vacation. Liz and Captain Bob were the best hosts! We had a couple of small issues that they immediately attended to. Liz had sent information beforehand on things to bring and places to see as well as places to eat which was so helpful! Enjoyed our trip immensely!

Perfect Family Getaway

This property could not have been more perfect. We had a group of 14 ranging from newborns to grandparents and the house had absolutely everything you could ever need for a family vacation to the Florida Keys. Indoor and outdoor cooking, indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, great dock and pool with a very private yard, ample parking and trailer space, close proximity to the beach.... We come to the keys a few times a year and this is the first time we felt like we could do everything from one place. The house itself is MASSIVE which was very beneficial for our group. You can have several different environments without disturbing anyone else. Most nights, we found ourselves putting the kids to be upstairs while the grandparents watched TV and the siblings could be downstairs listing to music and playing pool. Not once did we feel crowded. We particularly took advantage of the outdoor kitchen. There is a huge cooktop and stovetop which made it very easy to prepare hot foods for large meals while we prepared cold foods upstairs in the huge kitchen. Huge dock - we had zero troubles with our 35ft center console. Note for the fisherman - there is also an ice machine! We will definitely be back the next time we have a big group!
