Great rental property. Plenty of room, comfortable beds, wonderful bathrooms. Well stocked kitchen, The pool was wonderful and bar/grill area great. Access to a boat dock was a bonus as we enjoyed having a friends boat on the property. Great location, only 45 minutes to key west.
Looking to rent again for next season.

Fantastic Slice of Heavan
The house works perfectly for us. This is the third year in a row we have rented this house. I even have it reserved for next year. For those that fish/dive and have a boat, what a great place to stay.
The house is clean, AC works great, TVs in every room and the hosts are stellar.
This is a new house with a perfect layout for an extended stay. It is beautifully decorated and has new technology. The view, pool, neighborhood were all amazing. We had the best time and loved this house so much.

Wonderful Property
We recently spent the month of February at Castaway on the Keys and the property is wonderful. The house is bright, spacious and well equipped. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms are great. The entire house is clean and well maintained. The outside area is resort-like, with a heated pool, plenty of pool chairs, and great water front views. The upper and lower deck/patio areas are large and provide ample space for lounging, with two gas grills, ice machine and sink. We have spent a month in the Keys for the past six years, each in a different house in a different Key, and this is our favorite property - by far. The communication with the property's agent, iTrip, was timely and informative.

Great Family Vacation
Castaway on the Keys was a great house for our family and friends to stay! The location on the water was peaceful and really convenient for fishing with the boat dock. The pool was a great size, and the outdoor space by the pool was everyone’s favorite for hanging out. The house was really well equipped for two families. The bedrooms and bathrooms were a nice size, and the kitchen and living room were very spacious. The kitchen was beautifully stocked with everything you need. The neighborhood was quiet and great for walking and biking. Key deer would drop by for a visit each evening. Tina and the Itrip team were great to work with! We highly recommend it!

Memories Made Here
We spent 4 weeks in this beautiful home, and really want to go again! The view of the water is amazing! The home was perfect for entertaining our family members who visited, only a 40 minute drive to the Key West airport, and all the entertainment options there. But SO peaceful and quiet, deer stopped by often, we walked the bridge to No Name key almost daily, kayaked and biked. We called in with a couple minor issues and they were handled very promptly. We rented a boat and the dock was great for that. The outdoor area was great for hanging out at night, we did pay the additional fee to heat the pool and were glad we did! Big Pine Key is our idea of the best vacation spot, grocery stores and other shops close by, but not the busyness you find in other keys. And this well stocked, open floor plan, modern home was absolutely perfect for us!
