Great house, great location! Quiet, fully functional and cutely decorated. Neighborhood is walkable and bike friendly. Sunsets from the screened balcony or down the street. We'll plan to stay again in the future!

We were so pleased with our stay at this property. Everything went smoothly from check in to our departure. The home was beautiful, perfectly located and sparkling clean. For us the location between Key West and Marathon was perfect--and so peaceful. If nature and peace and quiet are what you are looking for, you will find it here. We visited Key West and Marathon but were more than happy to return to this oasis. Of all of the units in this community, this one is prime. It is directly on the small beach and right next to the pool with unobstructed, beautiful views. I chose this unit partly because of the bikes, kayaks and paddleboards offered, but my husband injured his shoulder prior to the trip, so we didn't get to use any of them. There are many very good restaurants nearby--the closest is Broil--and was the best, in our opinion. The food and service were over the top. A more casual option, Boondocks was fun, and we were surprised at how good the food was. We also love stopping at Hogfish Grill in Key West on our way up from the airport. The Key West airport is an easy drive. We drove up to Miami when we left, and that drive is one you need to do at least once in your lifetime. As far as the unit goes, as others have mentioned, it was very well stocked. You could literally arrive with just your clothes, and everything else would be provided. The decor is so beachy and fun, bedding was very nice and beds were quite comfortable. Hope to return!

Great house, host and location.

This house and location was beautiful. Large enough to entertain friends.The kitchen and bathrooms were very well stocked with high end provisions. The views were great! We watched the sunrise from the living room and went up on top to watch the sunsets. We saw dolphins in the bay from the top and played cornhole with friends. We loved the swim spa...perfect combination of hot tub and pool. Martina was the best part of it, she was the perfect host! Very accommodating and prompt to solve any issues. We were not use to streaming and she came over numerous times to help set up the TVs. The only drawback which was out of the owners control is the canal was not clear and would fill up with seagrass. We brought our kayaks and as soon as you got to the end of the canal the water was crystal clear and we saw lots of wildlife. We enjoyed riding our bikes around the island. All the business owners were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed Big Pine Key Canal Park and Bahia Honda State Park. We frequented numerous restaurants and really liked the live music and atmosphere at KiKi's Sandbar on Little Torch key. The location of being 30 miles from Marathon or Key West was optimal. And, finally, if you want to be in the Keys and be were it's quiet and not overly commercialized, this is it! The key deer are amazing and everywhere.

If you want a secluded getaway in the Florida Keys, this home is perfect. With only one neighbor next door, this is also a quiet place removed from the built-up areas. The screened porch was a great place to hang out to enjoy the vast water view. The long pier and dock was a good place to fish and swim. We not only caught fish, but also saw other marine life including stingrays, sharks & lobsters. The home was ideal for two couples with the 2 separated bedrooms and 2 baths. The kitchen was fine for the cooking we did and we also used the gas grill, which worked well. There was a Win Dixie on nearby Big Pine Key where we shopped for groceries. One day we went to Key West which was only a 45 minute drive. We all enjoyed our week here and would love to return someday.

Great place to stay. Our 6th year staying here and gets better each year. Easy boating access to Atlantic or Bay Side waters. Lots of privacy with nice swimming pool. Owners are great to work with and very accommodating.

We spent the week here in April. It was perfect. A few things for those who are traveling to the area for the first time. 1) The blue floating barrier in the pictures is not a swimming area, it's a barrier for the seaweed and weather. That area prior between the sea wall and the barrier is a shallow non-swimmable space to protect the property. 2) The pool is amazing and you will utilize it. It's deep enough in one end to jump in (I wouldn't recommend diving for safety) but is lots of fun for the kids. 3) The dock is essential - great for tying up boats and fishing. No cleats, just the dock pilons to tie to. Gets about 4-6 feet deep at the end and the currents are very manageable. 4) Fishing: it was hard to fish sometimes from the dock due to the seaweed (this year is especially challenging but usually not as bad) yet we still caught mangrove snapper, tarpon and other fish. The water is so clear you can see EVERYTHING, and the Cobia hunting at night is wild (we didn't catch any of them!) 5) House has everything you need to cook etc, first house I've ever been to that I didn't really need anything. 6) Bait/fish freezer was very lovely - nice to keep things separate 7) Shade: there is no shade on the dock and limited on the property (except under the houses). So you may want to bring something for that, we were fine. 8) Grocery shopping: Michelle put it best - if you need something NOW hit up the Winn Dixie on Big Pine, but if you want to do a comprehensive shopping, take the time to go to Marathon and go to either the Winn Dixie there or the Publix. 9) Smell - you may be initially put off when you first arrive during the Sargassum (seaweed) season. The seaweed itself is fine, but as it decays there can be a "rotten egg" smell. DO NOT PANIC. It's really not as significant as you think it will be. It's really only there if there is ZERO wind which there never is except when we drove up and parked. The rest of the time even my crazy picky kids and husband didn't notice it or care if they did. We will be back and stay again!

This vacation home has it all! Location, Location, Location! So much unbelievable space, inside and out! When you drive up the driveway, you just can’t believe your eyes, you don’t know where to look first, between the home and the views. The space of this home and the pool is just remarkable. Everything a family would need and want is available! Michelle and Mark keep the home and grounds so clean and pristine! Their communication is impeccable! We rented bikes from Big Pine Bike Shop, that was fun. Not only is Blue Heron Estate wonderful, Big Pine Key is a perfect spot for every want! If you want it all, this is the place to be! We had a vacation of a lifetime! Thank You Michelle and Mark!
