Since nine years we spend our vacations in the Florida Keys, mostly on the lower Keys. This year we rented our house from Lynn and Lee on Duck Key for the second time – and … it will not be the last time!
The rental is beautiful, very well maintained and very clean. It is one half of a duplex, with own driveway and own entrance. Inside you will find everything you need: fully equipped kitchen incl. icemaker and everything you need for a good BBQ (the Weber is downstairs …). Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, lots of towels, spacious living and dining area – what else do you need for a perfect vacation?
The rental has a screened porch where we used to have breakfast and dinner. Ventilators help to cool down outside. From the porch you have a beautiful view of the canal, all the boats and houses.
Downstairs you can park your car in the shade underneath the house. The garden is awesome – tropical plants and flowers everywhere including Key-Lime trees. Next to the pool is a shady sitting area and it is only steps from the canal.
The canal is somewhat special – it is one of very few canals in the keys that is “open” on both sides, so current is passing through it, bringing fresh water with every cycle. Cristal clear water gives a good view to all kind of fish. We saw small fish, parrot fish, jacks, tarpons, sharks, stingrays and even a manatee.
Our landlords Lynn and Lee are awesome. Friendly, kind and answering all our questions. Lee is also a charter boat captain with First Love Charters. He took us with his boat for a fishing trip to his secret spots. We caught a lot of fish – snappers, mackerel, sharks and more. It was a beautiful and pleasant day on the water without hurry and lots of explanations and help from Lee. He is an outstanding captain!
To bring to the point: it was exactly the vacation we wanted to have. And we will be back in 2020 – we already booked our next vacation with Lynn and Lee. Thank you so much for letting us be your guests!
