PROPERTY NAME: Martin Family Fish Camp 106 Madeira Rd., Islamorada, Florida
LOCATION: 2 Houses Located on a private peninsula
MINIMUM STAY: Weekly
MILE MARKER: 81.9
DETAILS: The Martin Family Fish Camp is located on a private peninsula and offers two houses named Bonefish and Tarpon. Each home offers two private bedrooms. Between the two homes the bedding is: King, Queen/Queen in Tarpon and Queen, Twin/Twin in Bonefish. There's a large Tiki for relaxing or dining, onsite parking - covered and open plus room for a boat trailer, a tropical outdoor shower and 100' of open dock space! The houses are one story concrete buildings with easy access and water views. Tarpon House is the larger of the two and offers a front porch with bay views, a sandy area by the water and a fire pit. Bonefish House is the smaller and is located by the boat basin. It makes a perfect sleeping cottage with a mini-kitchen and a small living area. Built in the early 1960's the homes are reminiscent of an earlier time in the Keys when life was simple and water activities were the main event of the day - fishing, boating, snorkeling, and diving. Bring your boat and tie up to the dock or hire a charter captain for your fishing and water excursions. Both houses are cozy, comfortable and well maintained. Each are air conditioned, have ceiling fans and include internet access and Wi-Fi. This property is professionally managed by Keys Holiday Rentals.
The central location of this property in the heart of Islamorada makes it a great choice for your holiday. Lorelei Restaurant and Cabana Bar, a favorite of the locals and the tourists alike, is an easy stroll from this property.

Perfect piece of Paradise
The perfect place for our family vacation. The location was amazing with spectacular views. The highlight of our trip was seeing the manatees swim through the canal every afternoon. We will definitely be back.

3 - Meets Expectations
The place was perfect for our family. I wish that the closet space could have been utilized and the drawers in the dressers, were not all available for use. We did notice that the A/C unit in the Tarpon house was not cooling very well.. In the afternoons the indoor temp would climb to 80, instead of the 73 it was set for. Also, if we could have found a broom, we could have kept the floors cleaner.
