Have been going to Big Pine Key in an RV for 40 years to primarily fish, first time renting this home. The owner was excellent in responding to questions (even before committing to the rental) and for any questions that came up during our stay. This home and property had the feel of a private fishing village/cabin that had everything we needed for a great stay. The large, beautiful, private lot with daily visits from deer, iguanas, and many birds was like being in the keys before they were so built up. Easy launch area for a kayak, great bulk head with ladders along the canal. Our boat was protected while docked by large rubber protective dock guards, fish cleaning table lighted and perfect for easy use. Easy canal access out to Bogie Channel with our 20ft boat. Two bait freezers available. The home was clean and ready for us with a beautiful wrap around deck we sat on in the mornings to watch the sunrise. The pool was great after a long day of fishing and was maintained twice a week. We brought our own hand held blower to help maintain the downstairs area under the house from typical accumulation of leaves, etc. We will definitely stay here again
