About this property

Atlantic Ocean Beachfront Duplex With Private Dock and best beach

This beautiful, duplex home is located on one of the only private beaches in the Florida Keys. The home is located on the southern tip of Long Key, and has a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean. Each side of the home is a two-bedroom, one bath. Both sides are available for rent. Other side can be found at VRBO #29457. It is ideal for two families, and a paradise for adults and children.


The Long Key State Park is a short walk up the beach, where camping, birdwatching, snorkeling, hiking, canoeing, and many other activities are offered. The water in front of the home is shallow, with a channel which enables a boat up to 30 feet in length to reach the dock. The shallow water is great for snorkeling, lounging, and is a paradise for children. Boat rentals are available nearby.

The waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Florida Bay provide some of the best diving and fishing in the world. World-Class fishing guides and dive boats are also available. Many of the local fishing guides will pick you up right in front of the house. The Long Key Viaduct, just a few hundred feet from the house, has proven to be one of the world's best places to catch a Tarpon.

Both sides of the home are fully-equipped with linens, kitchen supplies, patio and beach furniture, a barbecue grill, and a tiki hut provides an escape from the warm Florida sunshine. Come to enjoy some of the many attractions that the area has to offer, or just lay in a hammock under a palm tree. There is something for everyone at this beachfront paradise!

The home is located on the site of Henry Flagler’s Long Key Fishing Camp and it’s where author, Zane Grey vacationed and wrote some of his works in the early 1900s. Long Key Fishing Camp was established on Long Key in Florida in 1908 by Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway Company for the use of tourists to enjoy what was described as 'some of the best fishing in the world.' It initially served a housing for some of the employees who were building the Overseas Railroad to Key West.

Long Key Fishing Camp featured a two-story hotel and a number of cottages. The camp was made famous by author Zane Grey, who was a regular resident, and a pioneer of the sport of sail fishing. Grey became the first president of the Long Key Fishing Club in 1917. The list of other early distinguished guests included Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Mellon, Charles Kettering, and other notables.

The fishing camp was destroyed by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, as was the Overseas Railroad. After the latter was destroyed, the Overseas Highway (U.S. 1), was built across Long Key in replacement

Loved this ocean-front stay with our two teens! Paddleboard, kayaks, outdoor deck and tiki hut were all appreciated. They had everything we needed, from kitchen to laundry and even a bait freezer. Would definitely come back!

Great set up, amazing view, private, and good amenities. We used the kayaks regularly, caught snapper and a shark from the dock, and had a great time! The rental didn’t come with any hand soap and the dispensers for the shower were also empty. We also only had 1 or 2 rolls of toilet paper for the week so I’d recommend either bringing your own or adding these to your grocery order so you don’t have to go back out to get them. The grill on our side was also very rusty so we used the grill from the other side the night we needed it. Minor inconveniences and would definitely recommend staying here.

Love this place

Second time staying here and we loved it again!We stayed 10 days this time and enjoyed every second.Only issue we had this time was some questionable wash cloths, and utensils needed to be cleaned. Very minor and easy to deal with and we would certainly still come back and refer our friends/family

The location of this home is spectacular it is beautiful, because it is literally on the beach. Having said that the house needs a whole revamp, things are falling apart and show a lot of wear and tear. The sliding door that leads to the back of the house and goes out to the deck was black from not being clean and very worn. My husband and I stayed on the opposite side of this duplex in 2021 and maybe because we were excited about the location did not notice certain things. With the amount of money we paid back in 2021 and now there has been minimal changes. Basically the two sides need major renovations - the owners need to bring the entire home up to speed with a full gut and new furniture and decor without changing the price. My husband and I travel a lot and have paid similar amounts close or above what we paid for this house with spectacular views like this one and the homes have been state of art.

relaxing stay

The place was clean and very well stocked. It is a small place but perfect for us as we wanted to be outside mostly..........that being said, the deck and beach were perfect and very accessible which made our stay amazing. It is a quiet tucked away place which is exactly what we were looking for.

WOW!!

What a place. This was a cozy and quaint 2 bedroom duplex located right on the beach and on the walk/bike path. The house served us quit well but it was the outdoor amenities that truly made this place wonderful. Between the decks and the beach you really want to spend all of your time outside enjoying the view and ocean. I would highly recommend this home and will definitely rent this place again in the future!!

Awesome beachfront stay

Love the location. Beautiful and relaxing. Place was pretty clean and quiet. We were disappointed there was no hot tub even though it was listed in the amenities. That was one of the reasons we booked here. Hopefully they remove that on their listing. There’s a good pizza place across the street.

This is paradise

My wife and I had an incredible weekend. The home is very clean, the kitchen has everything you need and the views are amazing. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards, and also laying on the beach. Cozy home with the perfect beach vibe. We are planning to come back next year and bring friends to rent the other side. Ryan, Anna, Leo and Rupert

Great little house with character!

The paddle boards and kayaks made it! Don’t worry about the size-SO MANY great places outside-in the shade-to hang out. Some of us are concerned about sun. Some of us aren’t. It was perfect.
