Florida Keys Stay
This was a beautiful home on the water with a great view and a pretty sunrise. The home was very comfortable for 3 couples. We enjoyed kayaking with the manatees and watching a shark and dolphin from the pier. The pool was a walk from the home but very doable, there is also a parking lot if you needed to drive. I would definitely consider returning.

We love the keys!
We enjoyed our stay at Carpe Diem. The house is beautifully decorated and is fully stocked with everything you need. We loved being right on the water as we rented a boat for the week. I was a little disappointed that the property advertises 2 king beds, but I think it meant to list 2 queen beds and 1 king. Also, there was only 1 dish towel and we could never find pot holders. Overall, it was a perfect location at one of of favorite places!

Wonderful Stay
Beautiful home, great location, hosts were incredibly generous (left us coffee, sweets, etc.) and property manager was very responsive. We came from NC, NY and IL for Christmas—wonderful time. And, would recommend this home.
