Fully renovated luxury townhome, licensed vacation rental property, is less than an hour from Miami.

While on the east, the Atlantic Ocean beckons fishermen from afar. KYC is 25 acres of restful solitude with 24 hour gated security. There are two heated pools, kids playground area, two tennis courts & 2 Paddle Board courts, a 4 acre salt water lagoon, community 5 BBQ's and 2 fire pit areas, marina with free boat launch, 1,000 ft jetty for sunset watching and fishing, and many walking trails right on the property.

Key Largo's pride and joy, The John Pennekamp State Park is only 5 minutes away, MM102.5.

Just below Key Largo, in Islamorada (approximately MM 82), the charming village of the Moorings Village is the filming location of the Netflix hit series, Bloodline.

Water pressure was bad. Sometimes if two people utilized the water, only a trickle of water. Washer leaked upon first usage .Two of the theee bathrooms small,about the size of a boat or small RV bathroom.Upon check in, was told the ceiling fan in the main living area did not work.No ceiling fans in the upper two bed rooms. Unit provided floor fans.On a positive note, Outside facilities were terrific.Left a day early and would not rent this unit again.

Beautiful views of the lagoon and ocean access, not far away. Food was delicious all the way. From one end of Key largo to the other, or pick up groceries at the local Publix which has everything you need. The house is wonderfully appointed from the kitchen to the lower den to the upstairs bedrooms each. Having a wonderful balcony to enjoy . The home was set up perfectly for the five of us easily and could easily accommodate 8 to 10 people. The peacefulness was wonderful , as well as the laughter of the kids playing on the dock in the lagoon. I would recommend this place if you're going to look for something to do in the Florida Keys.

We took advantage of all the activities available to us. There was snorkeling, kayaking, grilling, fire pit, pool and lagoon to swim. Norman provided us with all the equipment. We also spent time on available activities off site. Great time! We wished we had more time to do it all!

Family friendly in Key Largo
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay (2 adults and 3 kids under 8). The place was beautiful, great view of the lagoon and pools were perfect for our young kids. We enjoyed sitting on the screened in porches every night. The property manager provided us access to beach & pool toys/chairs as well as a pack and play for our youngest to sleep in. And gave a detailed tour/overview of the entire property when we arrived. Two bedrooms on the top floor were great size and nice and cool at night. Main floor kitchen & family room were well equipped (could use some more plastic drink ware) and had comfortable seating. The ice maker was used a lot! The 3rd bedroom (lowest level) was very small - not much more than a queen bed, but it worked for us. Lowest level was also much warmer compared to the rest of the house but the ceiling fans were great downstairs! You enter from the lowest level so be prepared to climb lots of stairs (especially if you’re using all bedrooms). House was very well insulated, never heard any of the neighbors through the shared walls. This was a great location, near beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.

Unit needs upgrade
Overall a 7 out of 10. Ground floor kitchen was not a kitchen at all. Inly microwave and toaster oven. It would have been helpful to have access to the refrigerator or at least a small refrigerator. Bathrooms towel bars were broken or missing. Dryer broke on our second day and wasn’t repaired until late Friday afternoon and washer leaked badly. Kitchen was adequate but lacked cookware that matched and there were lacked drinking glasses, just wine and margaritas glasses. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of linens and towels. Living room area could use upgraded or more seating. Kitchen chair seats were not attached. Stairs leading outside were rotted and dangerous. door slider on upstairs bedroom closetseriouadjustment

Great time!
We had a great time. The accommodations had everything we needed. We loved having access to kayaks and paddle boards. Great and safe area to walk and ride bikes. They had fire pits and a great rock peninsula area to view sunsets and sunrises. There was a marina with fishing opportunities leaving area marina. The only negatives were no working bikes and not a fourth bedroom. It really was 3 bedrooms with a den area with a couch that made a bed.Would go again! Norman, the property manager, was the best!!

The townhome was large and I liked the layout so everyone had their own space. There are multiple balconies which was one of our favorite places to hang out while there. The sunrise/sunsets at the beach were beautiful! We were busy so didn’t spend much time in the lagoon or pools but the grounds were well-kept.
