Publix is 2.5 miles away and will deliver. Great seafood restaurants and Tiki bars are close. But our close proximity to the most sought after beach is what makes people want to book this house. Sombrero Beach!

Large Group
Great property for large group. All the things you would want for a large group. The owner was fantastic and had great information and exceeded all of our expectations. Just a note of caution is sometimes in July there can be a lot of mosquitos and seaweed in the keys. This has nothing to do with property or owner just something we did not know.

Great house for a large family vacation!
Would highly recommend this home to any large family. We have 5 children some with spouses and grandchildren on our vacation and it was the perfect fit! Plenty of room for everyone and lots of privacy. The pool and pool table were the biggest hits! We did most of our cooking on the outside commercial griddle. We also loved having 3 refrigerators. Hope to come back next year!

Shark house review
The house was clean and the beds very comfortable! Loved the layout and the house was just so inviting with its colorful walls inside and out.It was so convenient each bedroom having its own bathroom. The space was very big that we were able to spread out and not be all crowded together. It was so nice having all the baby equipment available as we had our 8 month old grand. It also helped having three refrigerators to accommodate 11 people. We spent a lot of time in the pool. It was nice having a dock and being able to walk to the rented boat. We played air hockey, foose ball, and pool. We even put together 3 1000 piece puzzles that were at the house. We had a very enjoyable family vacation. Liz and Captain Bob were the best hosts! We had a couple of small issues that they immediately attended to. Liz had sent information beforehand on things to bring and places to see as well as places to eat which was so helpful! Enjoyed our trip immensely!

Great Location/Amenities/House
The house was great. We had age ranges from 13 to 80. Good for the whole family. It was very short walk (5 Minutes) to Sombrero Beach. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook a great meal. The communication was great. Highly recommend. Great communication with the owners. Thanks for a great time!

The Best Rental ever.
This house had everything you could have wanted. The owners obviously take great pride in this property and do everything they can to make you feel at home. Captain Bob even helped us make pizzas in the pizza oven. Liz, the manager, was as helpful as can be whenever we had a question.
I. cannot rave enough about this property and would go back there in a heartbeat.

This property was an excellent choice for our family. Definitely family friendly as we needed cribs and highchairs for the littles. Great dock for fishing off of. Loved being able to walk to the park and beach area. House was spacious enough for everyone to be together yet have privacy also. Would definitely rent again.

The pool area is great and we spent lots of time there -- the Tiki Hut was perfect! We also enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the dock was great for the kids to walk out on -- we even saw a manatee.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. There was plenty of space for 9 of us, open floor plans and king beds. The pool area was absolutely amazing! We had a couple small issues, but the property owners were absolutely phenomenal with timely communication and resolution of everything. They stayed above the garage on the property and were so quick to address any of our needs. We would highly recommend this property and any rentals with Liz and Captain Bob!

Perfect Family Getaway
This property could not have been more perfect.
We had a group of 14 ranging from newborns to grandparents and the house had absolutely everything you could ever need for a family vacation to the Florida Keys. Indoor and outdoor cooking, indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, great dock and pool with a very private yard, ample parking and trailer space, close proximity to the beach.... We come to the keys a few times a year and this is the first time we felt like we could do everything from one place.
The house itself is MASSIVE which was very beneficial for our group. You can have several different environments without disturbing anyone else. Most nights, we found ourselves putting the kids to be upstairs while the grandparents watched TV and the siblings could be downstairs listing to music and playing pool. Not once did we feel crowded.
We particularly took advantage of the outdoor kitchen. There is a huge cooktop and stovetop which made it very easy to prepare hot foods for large meals while we prepared cold foods upstairs in the huge kitchen.
Huge dock - we had zero troubles with our 35ft center console. Note for the fisherman - there is also an ice machine!
We will definitely be back the next time we have a big group!
