We had a wonderful time at your home! We realize this was the first use since purchasing your house, and therefore would give it a 4 ****. Duck Key is beautiful! The special aqua color of the water there is amazing! The backyard opens onto a canal, open at both ends which brings new sea creatures with each tide. Our family joined us right after Christmas, and had a wonderful time. The four grandchildren were from 12-15 years, and had lots of energy for kayaking, boating, fishing, bicycling, walking, visiting Key West, to playing in the back yard heated pool and helping with meals. Brutus Seafood in Marathon had great stone crab claws, scallops, etc. We visited Robert is Here Roadside Market in Redland each Monday (on our way to Miami) to buy fresh produce and indulged in their famous milk shakes. The house has an excellent layout for up to 10 with 3 bedrooms (all with king beds), 2-1/2 baths, and very large open Kitchen, dining area, and great room with 3 full size sofas (one makes into queen bed),plus a recliner, a real necessity at our age, and the best Florida room overlooking the canal, where we spent many wonderful mornings feeling like we were outside, but with controlled temperature. There was a table for 6-8 in FL room, which the grand teens loved, and the dining table inside can fit 8-10. The house was well appointed with furniture, art work, stainless appliances, outdoor grill, very nice exterior and landscaping and equipped with everything needed to make our stay most enjoyable. It was obvious the owners had done a great deal of work to get the property ready, since we had seen it before the complete refurbishing. The property manager was very helpful, especially with a few glitches with the pool, and extra cleaning needed on arrival (wire closet shelving and drawers, mirrors, glass tables, downstairs refrigerator. These were the reasons for the 4*. We had a great stay and are making plans for next year. V&S Atlanta Ga.
