2024 Summer Vacation

Book it now! Everything about this home is amazing. The gated community and private beach was perfect. Our family of 10 fit comfortably and still had room for a few more. We will without a doubt book this home again.

Great house for family reunion

House was great and very well stocked. Perfectly accommodated 4 families and kids. Only blip was we were under the impression from contract that pool was heated and golf cart included. Didn’t get question about pool answered until right before check in and golf cart is extra charge. Golf cart was very handy for getting everyone to beach etc! Would rent house again!

Living the Dream fits the bill

We have stayed at Laguna Key for several years , but this was the best place that we have stayed. The screened in porch was a favorite place for our group with its great views of the lagoon. The close proximity to the beach and a golf cart to help carry items was awesome. The private pool was also very nice and many a game of cornhole was played there too. The house was very clean and comfortable and thank you for letting us stay. We plan to be back!

Family Fun in the Sun!

We absolutely loved this home. Perfect location, perfect views, perfect amenities. The floor plan was so great and had so much charm. Plenty of room for our extended family. The kids swam in the pool from sun up to sun down with beach in between. So Many extras. Clean, organized and cozy.
