I travel to the keys every year for a fishing trip with my cousins (3 of us total), I pretty much plan the next trip as soon as i get back from my last trip. So i do know the are real well and i know the waters as well. The place was perfect, the only issue was the canal was a little tight. I had a 22' center console and it took a little work to get her docked. Leaving the canal was also a little awkward at first, but we got the hang of it fast. After a long day of fishing, jumping in the pool was clutch, sat out for a little on the very clean deck and enjoyed the beautiful Florida sun. Having the car parked under the house was great, everything stayed cool, and sitting under the house was nice as well.
The rooms were very clean, and the kitchen was perfect for the week. We had everything we needed for cooking up the fresh catch of the day. the bbq was great, except the tank was empty after our only use.
Bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable, ceiling fans and ac made those warm nights beautiful. And to top off our days we played some fooseball. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay, and Mike was great to deal with. he answered all my questions and was very timely with responses. It is a perfect house for families or for the the fisherman looking for the prefect catch.
There were a few nice bars and restaurants in the are, no name pub up in big pine key, and you always have key west with tons to do, only about a 20-30min drive. As for places to get amenities, there is a publix-like store up in bpk about 10 minutes north.
I would highly recommend the house to a friend or family.
And I would like to thank Mike again for a great vacation!
