Booked already for 2024!
The property is exactly as described. Perfect for 2 to 4 adults. Neighborhood is quiet and the nightly sunsets are postcard perfect. Our hosts, Jose and Maria, were excellent. We can't wait to return in 2024.

Key Largo
The property is in a beautiful location. The home overlooks Buttonwood Bay. Beautiful views. The nightly sunsets were spectacular.
There are many marine animals to see in the area. We saw dolphins, spiney lobsters, Horseshoe Crabs, nurse sharks, rays and manatees from the dock. Our son and his family visited. He and our granddaughter kayaked daily and saw a number of manatees on their outings.
We took many day excursions. Snorkeling trips, glass bottom boat, Theater of the Sea (would recommend this if you have kids with you), Eco boat trip to the Everglades, and Sombrero Beach (Marathon) to name a few. There are many charters for fishing, scuba or snorkeling.
The are many good restaurants, several within walking distance or kayaking distance. We ate seafood daily. There is a fresh fish market about a half mile away. We shopped there often and cooked or grilled. We had fresh Hogfish on the grill several times that was outstanding. Even our 18 mo. old grandson ate it.
There is a community pool about a half mile away. It has a lap pool and and splash pad for kids. There is a set of Pickle Ball courts in the same area that are busy from 7:00 am until noon daily.
The area and the home are designed more for adults than families. It is a busy area with lots of traffic on Hwy. 1, the only major road in the area. You can walk in the neighborhood or drive to the community pool and park area if you want to walk or run, but we would not recommend walking along the Hwy.

Great property and owners
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jose and Maria's home. It was relaxing and absolutely gorgeous at sunset. My favorite spot was the double swing on the dock. My husband enjoyed the view from and comfort of the lanai. Jose and Maria are gracious hosts and we enjoyed visiting with them. The property was spotless and had all the items you would need for cooking and relaxing. The kitchen was great with high end appliances and all the utensils you could ask for. It is centrally located with grocery shopping and restaurants minuites away yet private. Thanks for a wonderful visit!

Florida retreat
Property was very nice and as advertised. Good location with fabulous sunsets. When having to leave due to coronavirus, we were very disappointed with owners handling of our need to sacrifice a week of our stay and compensation for unused days.

Perfection!
Just returned from 5 wonderful weeks at this lovely bayside property. The home is beautiful, clean, well-maintained, and so peaceful and beautiful. Everything one might need has been thoughtfully provided. We shared the home with friends and each couple had plenty of space. The tenants below us were quiet, and very warm and friendly when we only occasionally crossed paths; they were a pleasure, and absolutely not a factor in our ability to enjoy the home. We would return in a heartbeat! We cooked in almost every night and had everything needed to comfortably do so. The kitchen is a dream. The beds are comfortable, towels and sheets nice, and oh my my .... the sunsets! We truly felt like we were at a top-of-the-line resort! Jose and Maria were a text or phone call away if we needed anything, and were so gracious. There is a park nearby for walking, and a welcoming group of pickleball players meet there every weekday morning. The kayaks are great, and being able to walk to Snook's almost next door for happy hour and sunset was fun, too. It is a great place in a nice area -- total perfection! Highly recommend!

Amazing views and amenities
I stayed for the month of April 2019. The Owners met me and showed us around the first day and were available by phone and text immediately any time I had a question, great people to work with. The home is furnished like your own home, upscale appliances, nice dishes and flatware, plenty of everything you need to get started. The dock was a huge hit for me and my guests, we fished every day. The Stand Up Paddle Boards and kayaks also got a lot of use. Wonderful to hop in the kayak and paddle over to the nearby restaurants and bars, don’t miss Snook’s at sunset.

Beautiful Home/View & Owners
Let me start by saying I stay somewhere in the Keys every year, so I am seasoned I guess. This home has been our favorite out of the many homes/condo's I have frequented. The home is not super big, but it is generally my wife and I and maybe a grown child tagging along. It certainly accommodated us well and is decorated beautifully. There are many places to kind of get lost and have minute to yourself, either the screened back patio, lounge chairs in the yard or hook up the hammock on the boat dock (rainy day spot was amazing). The kitchen is wonderfully appointed so if you choose to cook ANYTHING just bring the food. Bathrooms were great and fixtures newer and not builder basic stuff. The boat house worked out exceptionally for me, fresh water readily available and 110 electric. There is enough floor space to rinse out all the dive gear and rods and not be tripping over them. The only thing I could say was missing was a fish cleaning table. However, I just used the cutting board and the back of my boat like I have a million other times. I was very happy with the quiet neighborhood and locking gate on the front, I was able to leave several thousand dollars worth of rods/reels/regulators/BCD's on the bottom floor and not be scared to death they wouldn't be there. I really enjoyed the paddle boards being right there and 10 feet from the water, I'm an early riser so first light SUP'ing was my routine and I couldn't have asked for a better way to start the day. My wife preferred the Kayak's so it was great to have the option and we could still spend time together. Jose and Maria are GREAT people and couldn't be more accommodating.
Lastly...I want to say I have rented dozens of very nice/expensive canal homes but do yourself a favor and try out the view here. You will never want another canal home again, I promise.

family spring break get away
We enjoyed our stay. The house is every bit as nice as the pictures show and Jose and Maria are very invested in making sure everything is perfect. It was a but disappointing that there is no beach here and I did not realize this about the Key largo area, but we had loads of fun on the water in the kayaks and paddle boards, provided to use! Plus there were two fishing poles to allow for fishing right off your own dock. The master bedroom bed was so comfortable and the view is breathtaking! If you like to cook the kitchen itself is amazing. Top of the line appliances and beautiful finishings. A very relaxing trip! Thank you Jose and Maria for sharing your beautiful home.

Truly amazing place.
This place has everything you could want and more. Not certain where to start explaining the details that make this place the ultimate vacation. The owners were incredibly welcoming and inviting, they helped walk us through the property and proactively stayed in touch to assure our time was incredible. The unit was basic perfection, a master bedroom that has a view that can not be described and the pictures only do modest justice to the real thing! The kitchen is ready for anyone serious about cooking, and the high ceiling with great views makes it so enjoyable. There are so many place to relax and watch the absolutely incredible views. From the dock we saw sting ray, manatees, fish, and several other activity in the bay. This place is secure, private and yet so close to Publix, Walgreens, and tons of local restaurants. This was truly one of the best enjoyable relaxing vacation getaways I. S long time. The owners and the amenities of this unit are perfect. Oh!, by the way the sunsets can not get better than what you see here. Awesome experience and trying to plan the next trip. Thank you Jose and Marie for your hospitality and sharing this place with us.

Modernes, sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus direkt an der Bucht. Wir waren mit fünf Personen im April 2018 dort. Ideale Reisezeit. Jose und Maria waren sehr aufmerksam und gut erreichbar. Die Bucht eignet sich zum Kajak fahren und Baden (allerdings kein Sandstrand). Sehr schöne Sonnenuntergänge.

A week in the American-Caribbean paradise in Key Largo
Being our first time in the Florida Keys, me and my family had the pleasure to be guests in Maria´s and Jose´s beautiful house on Key largo bayfront.
There nice wellcome on late sunday evening, the beautiful location, the furnishing of the house, the top equipped kitchen everything exceeded our expactations. The boys had great fun fishing from the dock - I myself even caught a barracuda!- They used the kajaks and had their adventures with first-time standup-paddling.
Everything we needed was close to the house partly in walking distance.
Every evening we enjoyed the spectacular sunset right from the dock and listened to the conch-horn of Bayside Grill Bar nearby.
To summarize, we had a great vacation in Maria´s and Jose´s house in Key Largo and we will definitely com back!
