Separate upstairs Den area sleeps up to 6 kids.

* 7 Day minimum rental - Saturday to Saturday *
SORRY NO WEDDINGS OR LARGE EVENTS ALLOWED
Max 8 adults + 4 children
You must be 25 years+ to rent this home and must be staying for the duration of the rental.

Our house is one of the most highly sought-after vacation homes in Islamorada that regularly books years in advance. The Last Resort is a firm favorite of multi-generational families and friends looking to create memorable moments that last a lifetime in a lush, private, and tropical setting.

As owners, we have spent 24+ years providing the best possible Keys experience for guests. Michele handles the day-to-day operation of the property and ensures that guests have everything needed for a stress-free vacation. We believe that guests should not have to worry about 'extra or hidden' charges so our rates INCLUDE many of the things other vacation rentals charge for such as pool heat, BBQ gas, kayaks, and baby equipment. Though the property is self-catering we supply many household items so you don't have to worry about purchasing them, such as laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, garbage bags, kitchen paper, cleaning fluids, etc.

We also don't charge a security deposit or pet fee. We operate on the honor & integrity system, giving our guests an authentic Keys experience that keeps them returning year after year as repeats.

From years of international travel with our kids, one of my pet peeves was the amount of equipment that I had to pack, just to go on vacation. Another was arriving at houses that were sparsely stocked or having to rent additional equipment. Greg and I made the commitment to provide as many supplies and equipment for our guests, from all kitchen equipment to baby equipment, from hairdryers & straighteners to lifejackets and water shoes, all to alleviate the need for guests to stuff their suitcases and truly make it a 'pack your shorts, flip-flops & toothbrush' kind of house.

The Last Resort is truly in a beautiful setting and we look forward to the opportunity to host you, your family, and your friends someday.
