"The furnishings/decor are beautiful. This is one of the nicest houses we have had the pleasure to rent, everything is spotless/brand new. It was hard getting our kids ages 8 and 10 to leave the house each day for adventures. " -Kristie Krueger
As a boating enthusiast, I designed Captain's Retreat for families who want it all – luxury accommodations plus authentic Keys adventures.

We had the best trip! The house was awesome—perfectly located right on the water where we saw manatees right from the dock. The house was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed. Plus, there were so many fun games for us to enjoy! Eric was a great host, very responsive, and made the whole experience easy. We cannot wait to come back!

The house and property were described very well in the listing. The house is large and spacious with a great entertaining area outside. We did not rent a boat or use the canal at all. Property is located minutes from the gas station, grocery store and restaurants/Bars. Nearest beach was a short 10 minute drive, you do have to pay for parking at the beach just a heads up. We had 10 adults on the trip, property was liked by everyone and enough space for everyone to be together or have your own little area.
