My husband and I and our 12 year old golden retriever stayed at this house for a week in January. The outdoor area and fenced yard was perfect, she loves watching fish so the lighted dock was a big draw, as well as the privacy offered by this home. The porch was wonderful with plenty of seating. The weather was miserable 5 out of the 7 days we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy it very much, but definitely plan to return.The indoor spaces were clean and comfortable. Loved the location as well, approximately 5-10 minutes to the beach, grocery, great restaurants and airport.

Magical stay in the keys

This home is perfect for an active family. We enjoyed meals on the porch deck and evenings on the dock. We snorkeled, we kayaked, we paddle boarded, all right off the dock. This place is a great place for a casual, adventurous family vacation with no need to leave the home to experience all the natural beauty the keys has to offer.
