Wonderful getaway
The house was perfect for our family. We loved the layout and the pool in the back was perfect after a day on the water. Great location to everything in Islamorada. Hope to be back again soon.

Enjoyed Our Stay
Great house, super friendly and responsive hosts. Boat dock gave great access to the bay and oceanfront was a short drive away. This unit is the first off of the highway, so it was a little noisier than preferred, but it is priced under the others in the complex. Would rent it again.
