Jackie is wonderful to work with and the property is as advertised. It is in a beautiful location on the gulf with a private dock. It has a nice kitchen and was very clean. We had a great time!
Excellent time in Islamorada! Home was perfect! Clean home with all the necessities included! Owner, Jackie, was very attentive and a pleasure to work with. We were able to ride our bikes to local restaurants, bars and shops. Highly recommend!
Very clean, comfortable cottage. We loved the access to the water and enjoyed the wildlife. The location was convenient to restaurants, shopping, and local attractions. Thank you Jackie! We so enjoyed our vacation!
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!!
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 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.
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!
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.
was a fishing trip for me my wife was working, the house was awesome and sunsets incredible. Walking distance to many places and short drive to all the hot spots. Jackie and Timothy could not have been better host and good people. Definitely will return!!!
Perfect vacation spot. Quaint and charming house with all the basic amenities needed for my wife and I to relax and bike to all the local spots. Very quiet and private.
We had a great time during our stay, communication with the owner was easy, the house was spotless on arrival, exactly what we were looking for - beachy Florida home, the yard was very large, and set back from the quiet street. We saw many reef fish in the water at the edge of the property! there are 2 docks, plenty of parking space, and an easy short walk to Lorelei restaurant- great food and drinks! Walking distance to many other things also. We would love to stay here again!
There are no words that can express how wonderful is this house. Immaculate! Communication with Jackie is almost instantaneous. We loved the landscaping and the views from the patio and piers. Enjoying the sunsets every night added to our pleasure. We will definitely be back.
The house and property is very beautiful with privacy and plenty of nature. The location is great with lots to do close by. The house has everything you need to enjoy a peaceful vacation
Solo traveler, great location (walking distance to Lorelei’s). Quiet, nice dock for watching the sunset. Everything I needed for a weekend to reset. Will definitely stay here again!!
This place was great. It was very quiet and peaceful. It was so pleasant sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Jackie's home was very clean and she was on top of everything. Thank you for sharing your home!
Place was super clean and perfect for what we were looking for. The dock had tons of fish to enjoy and we even had a family a 5 manatees come hangout for a while!
