Enjoyable week in January

This was the second year in a row we stayed for a week in January and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. The property is well maintained and the location is great with its waterfront access and walking distance to restaurants and stores.

Gorgeous property - resort like setting

We have been visiting the Keys for almost 20 years in a row. This property is gorgeous and amongst the top 2 most beautiful we have stayed at. It is spacious, has a resort like pool, breathtaking bay / sunset views, and tons of space to spread out. Great fishing, snorkeling, and kayaking from shore. Easy to rent and dock boat. Very clean facilities. Will be back.

Family makes all the difference!

This is a beautiful, well appointed home and property, you can see that from the photos. What makes all the difference in the world is the kindness and compassion of your hosts. The kindest family you’ll ever meet. Look no further, this is your home away from home in the heart of Islamorada!

5 Stars

Excellent location with gated access. Very private. Beautiful view and easy access to Florida Bay and the ocean. Used the on-site ramp to launch my 25’ boat and kept it in the water in the protected dock area for the week. House was perfect for our family. Well stocked kitchen and abundant beach towels and linens. The grounds are immaculate and the pool area is superb. Highly recommend this location.

Peace in paradise

This is a gorgeous, private piece of paradise. The grounds are every bit as beautiful as the pics. The homes very nicely appointed and comfy. Tony the manager is awesome, kind and super helpful! The pool is magical(and I'm not a pool guy!) We couldn't have asked for a better oasis of beauty and calm, within easy walk of anything needed. Thanks Tony and family for this blessed place. It was a place of healing...

Great stay

We have been coming to Islamorada for a few years and have stayed at various hotels. This was our first time staying at a VRBO property and it was fantastic. We stayed in the Bay View Cottage. The photos don't do it justice. Beautiful property and a great location. It's at MM 82 with all the restaurants and shopping nearby. The Bay View Cottage, where we stayed, had a beautiful view of the bay. We also had a perfect view every night of the sunset. The cottage was very clean. Tony met us upon arrival and showed us around. Super nice guy and very responsive. The grounds are immaculate. The pool was great to relax by...it has a waterfall and a hot tub! There is also a pool house with outdoor showers and restrooms. The property is very private as it has a secure gate in order to enter. Our cottage had a BBQ grill right outside the door so the nights we wanted to stay in and cook we did. If you rent or have a boat, there is a protected dock for you to put your boat. We rented kayaks and paddleboards and had them delivered to the property. There's a ramp leading into the bay thereby making it easy to launch them. At night, my wife and I would sit outside and look at stars then get our flashlights and shine them down in the water to check out all the marine life. There are all sorts of fish and we even saw a manatee swimming by one day. Did I say Tony was responsive? He is very resonpsive and just a super nice guy. The location is A+ and the property and cleanliness is A+. We will be back! Thanks Tony and April!
