My husband and I rented this property for the month of February 2024. It was conveniently located near Founder’s Park, Theater of the Sea, several restaurants, grocery stores, businesses and in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. Our daughter and her family visited for several days during our stay and the back of the property was great for entertaining. Although these owners reside on the premises they vacated the property during most of our stay so as to allow us our privacy as we enjoyed our vacation. There is a pool, hot tub and an outdoor dining area as well as a moveable basketball hoop which provided our family many hours of entertainment. This home is situated on a canal giving us the opportunity to fish and enjoy frequent visits from manatees nurse sharks and various marine life. We did have an issue with the dishwasher but we notified the owners of the property and they promptly made an effort to address the problem which was easily resolved. We found these owners to be very friendly and welcoming as we enjoyed our winter get-away!

Chris and Jim were the BEST hosts! We had a wonderful time in Islamorada staying in their home on a canal. House was very clean and well appointed. The outdoor living areas were amazing. We would definitely come back!

We spent a month with our family at this beautiful home. It was immaculately clean and had everything you need (just pack your clothes and a toothbrush). The location is just blocks from a grocery store and several amazing restaurants. It takes only a minute by boat to get to the bay and it is just south of Tavernier Creek for access to the ocean. The owner is great and was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay.

We had a wonderful stay here. The manatees were a sheer delight and the hot tub was magnificent. I do wish the pool were heated.

We had a fantastic time at this house and couldn't of been happier with the house, pool, dockage etc... Chris was extremely easy to work with and responded immediately when we had questions. I would recommend this house to all family and friends and we look forward to staying there again next summer.

Loved the pool - a rarity in the are Wonderfully decorated Spotless

Fantastic house both inside and outside. We were a group of 9 family members and we rented the entire home. There was plenty of room for us all. It had everything we needed for our stay and the beds were so comfortable. The outside space was fantastic much bigger than I was expecting with a great pool and lots of fishing in the canal. We were lucky to have a visit most days from a manatee that swam up to us at the dock. I would highly recommend staying here as it was like a home away from home. The owners were great and always there if you needed them.

Where, oh where to begin? Wow, what a fantastic month we had, living like locals and enjoying all of our favorites in the Keys as well as adding some new favorites. This house was the perfect place to call “home” though all of the relaxing days and busy days, sunny days and rainy days, they were all PERFECT from this amazing spot. Having stayed in a number of different accommodations over the last 8 years, and the same one for the past 5, I was nervous to stay somewhere new, as you never really know what you will get in the sandy, salty Keys, but as soon as we pulled up, and then as we walked inside, I was THRILLED with our choice, and knew I’d be very sad when we had to leave in a month. Everything is just lovely, very well kept and nicely decorated both inside and out. There are gorgeous potted plants everywhere outside, no visible corner has been left unattended...it feels like a tropical paradise! The inside is very clean and has everything you could possibly need...EVERYTHING! I was able to cook meals, bake a cake, make smoothies, bake cookies, every bit of cookware is there, along with plenty of linens, towels (bring your own pool towels) and even paper goods to get you off to a good start. The pool provided a very welcome place to take a dip after a hot day on the boat, and the hot tub was just the thing for relaxing under the stars! The neighborhood (street) is very quiet and largely unoccupied, so we had the place to ourselves on both sides, with only a few very respectful neighbors down the canal. We rarely saw anyone else, truthfully. The marina directly across the street is very clean and very nice, so no worries about being right across the street from a business. If you’re bringing a boat, the dock is easy to navigate, access to the bay is immediate, and the ocean is only minutes away through Tavernier Creek where there is gas (and a cute little Cuban restaurant!) We absolutely loved tubing in the bay, sunset cruises right out our backdoor, snorkeling at Alligator Reef and Hens & Chickens...all were an easy ride and we just couldn’t get enough! The laundry hut outside is even cute, and it has new appliances, so we were able to bring just a week of clothing and wash as needed. There was even a bit of laundry detergent to get us started! Anything you need is in walking distance if you’re adventurous, or a very short driving distance. Groceries, donuts, Pier 1, movie theater, cafes, etc. I cant WAIT to RETURN!!!
