Host was extremely welcoming checked to make sure we would arrive before dark if not she offered to go and cut on the lights. House was adorable, super clean and so many cute touches like string lights on covered patio and timed solar lights that popped on at night great added touches!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jackie's place. This is a great place and location for a laid back vacation. It deserves 10 stars for all of the aspects of this property. Jackie has taken a lot of care and forethought in preparing this house for visitors. The property offers seclusion, a great tropical vibe, wildlife, and view. The house is comfortable and clean with extensive attention to essentials for a short stay. Jackie stayed in touch to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. It was a chilly week and she could not affect the weather, but otherwise we enjoyed our stay and her attention to our needs.

Islamorada Stay

We had such a wonderful time during our short stay in Islamorada. Over the years we have been to Islamorada many times and have stayed at many different places, and this was by far our favorite! Very relaxing and spectacular sunsets!

This was an amazing gem we found! If you are looking to spend time in Islamarada, this was a perfect adorable little home! We were close to everything and the home was private and right off the water. We were able to walk to a cool restaurant and bar as well as boarding a boat to snorkel and go out to Islamarada s sand bar. The kitchen was stocked, the home was clean and the communication amazing from the owner. We will definitely be back!! Thank you for a well needed getaway!!

Perfect little hideaway

This house was perfect for our week getaway. Jackie has stocked the house with everything you will need during your stay. The house is very clean and well taken care of. I love that is away from the highway, it's very quiet and peaceful. We loved to sit outside and watch the sunset in the evening. We will definitely go back!

We have a lovely stay and plan to book again! This booking is a great value and we were delighted they allow small dogs! The house is immaculate- right on the water with a dock, was very clean, well maintained, and has everything you could need for a stay (grill, cooking supplies, extra blankets, etc). Jackie the host was incredibly sweet and responsive. Thanks for everything, be back soon!

We stayed for a week and wished we could have stayed longer! We loved the house, location and Jackie was great with communication. We paddle-board, so we could easily drop our boards in the water and reach some great areas. We could walk to restaurants, brewery, grocery store and museums, only a few times did we drive and then it was only a few miles to what we needed. House was awesome! Hopefully the next time we are in the area it is available. We would not hesitate to book again.

Birthday getaway

I wish I could give the property and Jackie the host a 10 star review. Everything was exactly as described. We had to cut our stay a little short because of our dog having separation anxiety at the dog sitters. Kitchen well stocked with coffee, spices,oil etc. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in the Keys. Fishing was great, Turtle Hospital worthy of a visit and a plethora of fantastic restaurants . Best VRBO experience we have ever had.
