Vacation get away
This house was perfect for two couples. It is in a great location. It is literally a 5 minute walk to Sombrero Beach. Less than a hour from Key West. The pool was great. Communication was great. We really enjoyed our week here and would stay again.

Beautiful
beautiful house..very clean. Loved watching the manatees in the channel. The pool and spa was wonderful. The only reason for not giving it a full 5, is because of the tidal sand bar at the entrance of the channel. At low tide, you can not get a boat with a 10" draft, into it. My husband's, boat got stuck and he had to leave it,until the tide started to come, back in. I would rent this house again . loved it.

Beautiful property
Just wasn’t happy with my husband fishing off the dock and light from the neighbors dock pointed right into you face. The king side bed was bad. The queen bed was good, but the vent over head was horrible to sleep with directly in your face. Otherwise the kitchen was amazing well stocked. Great outdoor space. When we had problems they took care of it right away.

Brought Our Boat Review
This was a great location for our 18’ boat. It would not work for boats with a deep hull as it’s very shallow. We got stuck during low tide trying to get out fishing. Depth was 1’ during low tide. The house was good overall. I wish there was an option for heating the pool. We had a cold front move in and it was to cold to use the pool. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Hidden Gem
Perfect house for our family of four. Situated on a canal and backyard patio and pool feels private and isolated. We used the 2 kayaks everyday. Beautiful views of ocean and sunset. Five minute walk to Sombrero beach. No TV on patio like in picture and the master king mattress extremely uncomfortable (queen in spare room softer). First time to the Keys and we will be back!

2022 Keys vacation
This was our first visit to the Keys we were not disappointed. We came to fish and enjoy the beautiful weather, both were beyond our expectations!! Definitely will be coming back. The house we rented was perfect, the location was on point. Every morning we were able to fish right from our own private dock. Swim in the afternoons in the private pool, there was a grocery store just a few minutes from the house. Can’t wait to come back!!
