Driving up to the property the first thing I noticed was everything appeared to be brand new and just put in place. The inside of the house had the same feeling small things like soap in very bathroom, ample pots and utensils in the kitchen, high quality towels and bedding. But the best was still to come I walked out on to the upstairs balcony and felt that I had discovered paradise. I looked out on a vast sea of green mangrove with sparking water flowing through them. Down on the ground level the paver patio, dock with fish cleaning sink, tiki hut, pool with water so clear you needed a slight breeze to see it. If this wasn't enough the outside kitchen and cabana was perfect with commercial ice machine, high quality grill and cabana with changing room and large shower. I have been coming the Florida Keys since the 1980's and this was the BEST property I have ever stayed at!

You will comprehend the word “paradise” after you visit “Paradise” family vacation home in Key Largo. Our extended family enjoyed this loving home for 4 weeks. The grandkids (and adults) spent much time in the heated pool, hot tub, fishing on the canal, playing foosball, and kayaking in the mangroves. Sightings included Manatees (mother and baby) turtles, Moray Eel, Iguanas, Angle Fish, Tarpon, armies of Parrot fish, Filefish, Pufferfish, Lobsters, and a crocodile. We all went to watch the dolphins (sans admission) at Dolphin Plus with a short kayak ride down the canal. The house is lovely and well kept. The sleeping areas are spacious and beautifully maintained each have their own private bathroom. There are many options to sit and relax or enjoy the time together. You can: -hang out at the pool (with many chaise loungers around the pool) -hang out in the covered tiki bar (if the sun gets too hot) -sit at the table outside of the outdoor bar and grill area -gather in the covered foosball, ping pong, and hot tub area -relax in the screened in third floor master bedroom area overlooking the mangroves -have dinner at the second floor screened in area outside the kitchen or -have meals inside if too hot outside -watch your favorite movies or play games in the family room area I also need to mention Jose and Monica. They were a text away to answer questions or fix any slight technical issues that would arise. Overall, this was “paradise,” and no one wanted to leave.

Owner is very responsive and caring

On a scale from 1 to 10, this property is an 11! The home is beautiful and has been equipped with so many perks that you don't need to leave. It has been recently renovated and the appointments are new and fresh. The sunsets were breath-taking. The location is also very convenient to restaurants and activities. You can even walk to a local marina, charter boats and a couple of watering holes. This was helpful for us as we brought our boat and could only pass under the bridge at low tide. We rented a slip at the marina so we could come and go as we please, not worrying about the tides. And finally, the owner (Jose) was very helpful, attentive and responded lightening fast. Our visit was a 3 generational vacation to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. When we arrived for our stay, we were greeted with a birthday balloon, my husband's favorite adult beverage, fresh oranges and muffins from a local iconic restaurant. This property is truly "Paradise"!

Loved it! I will rent it again for certain!!

The house was beautiful and very clean

We live in Indiana and come to Florida every year for the month of January! I have to say the was the best house we have ever rented! Immaculate! Everything you could ever want it made it easy to stay in during Covid! From walking in the front door we felt very welcomed! Jose checked in a few times to see if we needed anything! Pool was awesome and heated very nicely, hottub was amazing outdoor kitchen perfect! Kayaks were great to take to end of road and see the dolphins at dolphin plus! 3pm is feeding time and you get a free show! The owners have truly thought of every single detail! I cannot say enough good about this place! Jose and Monica thank you for sharing your paradise with us!

We stayed at Paradise for 5 glorious weeks. From the moment you walk into this property, it feels like an alternate reality. We have travelled the world, including 5 star resorts, and we can honestly say this is one of the best places we have stayed at. The house is in a beautiful location with magnificent views of the ocean and the mangroves, and a delightful sunset every night. The house itself is impeccable. Everything was extremely clean and/or new. The layout of the house is very open, with top end finishes. We had plenty of room to do school/work or just change settings depending on the mood: sometimes we would eat (or work) indoors, sometimes on the screened porch, sometimes outside overlooking the water. My teenage kids loved fishing from the deck, or just watching the animals go by. We saw a turtle, lobsters, a nurse shark, reef fish and even manatees, just from the deck. Clear skies and low light pollution gave us a wonderful location to watch the Geminid meteor shower and the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction. There were so many things to do just in the house, that it seemed like a resort all by itself. We could kayak or paddleboard to the mangroves, to see the dolphins in the rescue center (less than a block), or ride in the canals. There is a bike trail very close by, and a community park, so we could go for walks, for a run or for a bike ride very easily and safely. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub daily. Due to covid, we minimized going to restaurants, but we would walk to the fishery and get fresh fish, lobster, shrimp, and even key lime pie, many times a week. There are many large TVs throughout the house. We also rented a boat for most of the trip, we were able to dock our boat in the back of the house and go boating whenever the weather was good. Our favorite snorkeling spots were Christ of the Abyss, Molasses key and Alligator reef. Please note that it is tricky to get any boat in and out because of a low clearance bridge on one side and shallow water depth on the other side of the canals, so discuss with the owners before renting a boat. The owners Monica and Jose are very nice and available. We were in constant communication about mail, questions, etc, and they would get back to us very promptly. The pictures did not do justice to the wonderful experience we all had, grandma, kids and us, without even leaving the house. The only downside we can think of was having to leave, would give it 10 stars if we could.
