Beautiful 2/2 Waterfront Designer Home for your family vacation

Enjoy the best that the keys has to offer in this custom built designer home that has everything to make your vacation a great and unique experience. This 2/2 sleeps up to 6 and has a refined tropical finish with serene views of palm trees and water. The only problem is that you won't want to leave!

Nestled at the end of a quiet street at mile marker 28, this home has complete serenity, surrounded by tropical views of crystal clear flow through canal. The home boasts a huge kitchen stocked with the finest appliances and utensils that would satisfy any gourmet chef. The home's luxurious finish and open floor plan is complemented with the most beautiful and comfortable tropical furnishings. You breath will be taken away by the details!

The spacious, tropically furnished master bedroom opens up to a 500 square foot screened in balcony and also has its own bathroom with shower views of the palm trees and water. The second bedroom shares its full bathroom with the rest of the home. Both bedrooms are very quiet and have lots of natural light and very comfortable queen size beds. If you need another bed, there’s a full size convertible couch in the living room, and it has a very comfortable mattress, so you’ll be sure to get a great night’s sleep!

The dock can accommodate most any size boat, and comes complete with fish cleaning table. Cool off from a day of fishing with a dip in the crystal clear water. The flow through canal allows the keys water to flow through both ways, and is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking. A refreshing rinse in our heated outdoor shower will prepare you for relaxing under the coconut palms in the hammock with a tropical drink from the upstairs bar. Relax in a heated splash pool with jets, big enough for your whole party. Watch as the kids reel in mangrove snappers from the dock. Don’t have a boat? No problem. Rentals and charter boats are nearby for fishing, diving, or sightseeing! For the boaters, a full service marina including fuel and marine repair is conveniently located across the channel in Big Pine Key..

We provide an outdoor gas grill with four burners, and a side burner for blackening your catch. It comes complete with all utensils, and porcelain grille pans for smaller items such as veggies and shrimp. Eat your catch on the screened in balcony on the second floor watching as the water flows by the coconut palm trees.

Key West is nearby with only 25 minutes of scenic driving in between. Visit Key West for its world renowned shopping and dining. We’ll give you our treasure map of the locals’ favorite spots, and check out our Captain's Log for discounts. Be sure to visit the Southernmost Point in the US and then take part in the sunset celebration at Mallory Square. There you will find fire-breathing street performers, an acrobatic show with trained cats, and a very unique one-man-band. In Key West, you can also visit many historical sites and museums, enjoy unique artwork from the numerous local artists and embark on a sunset cruise on a large schooner sailboat.

If you like beaches, then you will love nearby Bahia Honda State Park which was among top rated ones in the entire US. Also in the area is the Key Deer National Wildlife Preserve where you can see this endangered species roaming around.

The Little Torch area offers peaceful serenity like nowhere else in the Keys, but has every modern convenience including hardware stores, tackle shops, a major supermarket, and lots of great, often hidden locally owned restaurants and bars featuring their captains latest fresh catch. You will love exploring the area. You can also celebrate a special occasion by taking a walk to the ferry boat to transport you and your family to a luxurious dining experience at the Five Star resort on Little Palm Island.

If you dive or fish, then you have got to stay in Little Torch Key. Looe Key Reef (directly offshore of our home) is a Federally protected marine sanctuary with dive sites rated as the best in the continental US. It is simply breathtaking! You will be amazed. For the spearfishermen, there are some great locations for you to visit. There are lots of Grouper, Mutton Snapper, Hogfish, etc, and the lobster abound! As for the fishing, the offshore pelagic species feed aggressively in the currents as the Gulf of Mexico pours into the Atlantic Ocean. There is good daytime Swordfishing on the drop-off. The Dolphin (Mahi-Mahi not flipper) fishing is second to none, and there are plenty of Wahoo, Tuna, and Marlin. The reef fishing is awesome, and there is a lot to explore in the back country, too.
No need to make that annoying morning run for ice. A 600lb ice machine is available to you under the patio.

When you drive through the lower keys, you will feel the pace of life slow down. No high-rises, no fast food restaurants, just small islands that resemble being in the Bahamas without having to leave the continental United States. Every minute reveals a new breathtaking view as the Gulf of Mexico collides with the Atlantic Ocean and nature abounds over the sprawling ocean flats of the Florida Keys. Teams of Pelicans crash into the water chasing schools of baitfish, herons and cranes wade through the shallow waters, and dolphins play in the channels by the bridges. Life abounds in this paradise and every modern convenience is right around the corner. It just doesn't get any better.

This is our dream vacation home, and we use it for fishing, diving, and just plain relaxing with the family. We are willing to share this with you and your family, but only if you will take care of it as we do. If you are looking to pack the house and party loud, then this is NOT for you. This home is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Its furnishings are very nice and not suitable for partiers (or pets). We are hoping that you and your family find the same pleasures that we do and return season after season. We will do whatever we can to make your stay comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable!

BEFORE submitting funds for INSTANT BOOKING, please check with me first to ensure availability. There may be some last minute changes to our calendar.
As a general rule, we allow current tenants the courtesy to have the opportunity to return the following year for their same leased time with us.

Scenic & Peaceful stay
We really enjoyed our1 month stay in Little Torch Key. The house is beautifully appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We biked and kayaked all over the lower keys and went into Key West a couple of times. A quick ride to all the action. Our adult children flew in to visit us for a week and they had a ball! Plenty of room to accommodate all and we so enjoyed our evenings on the screened in deck overlooking the canal and a nature preserve where the sun set every night. Richard The owner was so great in his communications. I highly recommend staying here and would love to come back again

Loved it !
It was just as shown in the pictures on the website. Perfect location, plenty to do in the area, on the water....what more could you want??!! We drove up to Big Pine Key several times...to do grocery shopping (Winn Dixie will have everything you need, and then some!), also to see the adorable Key deer and to go to No Name Pub for good food (excellent pizza) and beer and wine....no liquor. We also went up to Marathon several times and showed our guests around. And, of course, went to Key West several times. No words necessary! We were in this lovely home for a month and had a wonderful time. Would definitely do a re-visit if we plan another trip to the Keys.

Great house on Little Torch Key
We stayed at this house for a month and it was wonderful. The house had everything that we wanted. The decor was beautiful . The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The back deck was screened in which was nice. The bottom area had another table and chairs. It was so nice to go into the hot tub. This place had everything that you could want for a great vacation.

Perfect
We have stayed many places in the Keys over the years. We bring our boat and love to dive and fish. This place is not only beautifully decorated inside, it also has great outdoor space and one of the nicest docks we have ever had. There is a huge splash pool/ hot tub that is well maintained. The fishing and lobstering spots are very close and awesome. The neighbors on both sides are very nice and helpful and the owner was very responsive to our texts for questions. Great restaurants nearby as well. We had an awesome time. March 2018

The perfect place in paradise!
I've rented many different homes on various keys over the years, but this one is by far the best of all.....Outstanding!!!!!!! Not only is the house decor fabulous, but also well kept, great amenities, perfect location and best of all.......Richard. With professionalism, friendliness, and making sure my stay was the best, was impressed. I'm looking forward to vacationing in the Keys again, and by this review, you know where I'll be staying.
