We stayed at the condo from April 8 through April 22, 2023. The condo had all the promised amenities and the owner was very responsive to requests for information. He even supplied an extra amenity not normally provided with most rentals (thanks Dave!). We would recommend the condo for anyone wanting to visit areas around the upper keys. We are birders and used the condo as a base of operations for visiting the many state parks along US Route 1. As such, we did not make use of the Sea Gulls amenities such as the clubhouse, pool, or the beach. As it turned out, one of the best spots to watch birds was the condo balcony. The balcony looks out on the Atlantic Ocean as well as a small mangrove area next to the beach. I saw 54 species of birds from the balcony, including Magnificent Frigatebird, Brown Pelican, Royal Tern, White Ibis, Common Myna, White-crowned Pigeon, to name a few. Even the sports field of the nearby school occasionally had birds, especially on one rainy day, where a few shorebirds plied the flooded field (e.g., Killdeer, Black-bellied Plover, White Ibis).

The condo was as advertised. Very clean, spacious, and nice view of the ocean from the balcony. Our only hiccup was the property manager was supposed to send me an email with access codes and how to pick up a key fob to access the pool and common area doors. We called David and he was able to get us the info and to find someone to get us a key fob. Communication with David was always quick, easy and efficient. The area has plenty of restaurants and we also made a day trip to Key West. Highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay again.

This was our first time staying in the keys after spending several years in Ft. Myers beach.After realizing how different it would be, we really appreciated the beauty, the perfect weather and the uniqueness of this area. The condo was very comfortable, spacious, very clean, had every tool we needed in the kitchen. Lovely pool with beautiful surroundings. Beautiful sunrises over the beach area.So many delicious restaurants, although sometimes the traffic was pretty rough! We did have to put up with painting and some other construction noise disruptions. Not being able to use a balcony when the view and weather were so gorgeous was very frustrating! Hopefully, that won’t be an issue for future guests. It really is a great property and lovely condo.

The unit was lovely, clean, and had everything we needed - except the balcony. Unfortunately during the 1st 5 days of our stay a construction project meant no deck access. The owner had let us know, but only a couple week ahead of time, and he did make a price adjustment to compensate. Other than the construction, everything was great, huge pool, sandy area near the water (but not really a swimming beach). We wouldnt hesitate to return.

This was a great spot. Clean and quiet. Nice pool area and quaint beach. Great location in keys.

The inside of the condo is beautiful. Very nice furniture and appliances. The guest bed was comfortable, the master bed was not. Also the master bedroom gets VERY hot at night with the door shut. The kitchen is well stocked. Lots of towels are provided. View from the balcony is ok. You can see the water, but also power lines. We were able to see dolphins playing in the water from the balcony. Checkout process was super easy. Check in was a little rough. We did not get an email notification on how to access the condo in advance from owner or condo manager as per the vrbo notification. Had to call owner to get codes. Apparently his computer was being fixed so he didnt send us any info prior to arrival. He gave me the code to the building and the lockbox but failed to tell us how to get the driveway gate to open. Thankfully someone else staying here happened to be walking through and helped us. We had no idea where the condo managers office was. And by the time we found it they were gone. Because the manager was gone, we couldn't get a wristbands and more importantly the key fob to open the pool gates and game room. The manager is only there from 12 to 5, not 9 to 1 like the book in the condo said so we couldn't access the pool/game room until 1/2 through the 2nd day. The deadbolt was very sticky and hard to unlock. We stopped using it while staying here because we were afraid a key would break off. Beach was basically unusable because of construction work being done on the balconies on the beach side. We had no notice of the construction. Construction noise started early, around 7am. It was constant beeping and jackhammering. We didn't stick around the property too long becauseof this, which was unfortunate because the majority of the reason we chose this was for the private beach and pool. I also would suggest the condo (not the owner) add some lounge chairs to the beach. Not just plastic upright chairs to go with the 1 table on the beach. The table could also stand to be replaced as it was kind of falling apart and pretty rusty. There was also a very sharp metal strip about 2 inches wide and the length of the balcony right outside the doors. I'm not sure the purpose but use caution so you don't cut your foot. It's worse than stepping on a Lego. Overall if it hadn't been for the construction I think we would have had a much nicer time. With a few updates this could definitely be a 5 star place!

David and Ginette were lovely hosts and very helpful.

David and Ginette were excellent hosts! Following up to make sure we got checked in ok and had no issues. The condo is beautiful and very clean.

Such a nice place. Thank you. Close to everything.

Condo was extremely clean, well stocked with kitchen utensils and decorated beautifully. From a mini sewing kit to assortment of books and games David and Ginette didn't miss a thing. The residents were friendly. Our check in experience with Liz was wonderful. Pool, community room and grounds were well taken care of. I saw some reviews that did not like the high school located nearby. We didn't mind it at all. We could not hear any bells ringing or students, not even from our balcony. We watched the beautiful sunrise each morning. We just can't say enough about our stay and hope to return.

Condo is in a great location with great views! Very clean and comfortable accommodations would highly reccomend staying here!

This is a beautifully decorated condo with a great ocean view. We had a great time and the owner was very responsive to any of our questions and needs. The location is close to shopping, groceries, restaurants, and entertainment. I would definitely recommend this rental property to others.

We loved absolutely everything about this place. The view of the ocean is amazing.

Enjoyed stay. Was relaxing and comfortable

Excellent condo with amazing views and all the essentials needed to enjoy your trip. Would definitely recommended staying at this condo.

Enjoyed the place. Set up was great. East location to get to restaurants and day trips. But we appreciated the kitchen for cooking up local catches.

We loved the peaceful area of Islamorada and Tavernier. Great view and large balcony with views from every room. It was neat seeing the high school next door setup for graduation from the unit. Loved the game room with speedball, ping pong, and table shuffleboard as well as the corn hole game outside in the sand. Such a wonderful location with easy access to great food at local restaurants!

Lovely accommodations! The bedding was exceptional. We had no trouble sleeping. Love Islamorada the best of the Keys. We would not be hesitant to go back here.

For the first time in my experience, this property was even more beautiful than the pictures. Quality furnishings. Beautiful view.

Nice condo and pool area. Nice location. Nice view.

We had a wonderful week with 4 adult family members. The unit was VERY clean and well decorated. The everyone we met was friendly and the little beach area was a good spot to catch some sun. It’s not a swimming area which was OK with us. We had a very pleasant week at the end of January. Temps were high 60’s to mid 70’s during the day.

Cleanest VRBO I've ever used! Can't say how much I appreciate this!! Location was perfect and set far enough back from road noise. The view was so pretty. Beds were comfy. All the creature comforts of home. Pool was heated. Nice fitness room and game room. Loved all the games in our room.

Amazing time! Definitely recommend

A little more laid back than Key West. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Able to watch both sunrise and sunset from the balcony. Very nice pool area. Never crowded and perfect water temperature. The condo was very clean and had everything you need for a great vacation.

We had an amazing time. The property will not disappoint. It was immaculate, clean, great view and peaceful. I highly recommend.

This is a lovely condo. Beds are comfortable. All one needs in the kitchen to prepare a great meal. The view is to die for. The condo was spotless.

The condo was clean, pretty and well furnished. Nice views too. Enjoyed the pool and one of the condo owners let me use her float! Very quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this condo!

Condo was comfortable and very clean. Well stocked with all necessities. Good communication with owner from the beginning, tho property manager was difficult to track down. Would highly recommend.

The perfect picturesque condo for such a beautiful place. The views of turquoise water on a quaint private beach is the perfect and just what our family needed for a week. The condo is conveniently located and the highway is easily accessed. Most definitely would book this condo again.~ Ashley

Centrally located clean and very nice condo. We enjoyed our stay with very few problems.

David was excellent at communicating with us throughout our trip! This is the best place to stay in the keys!! To get the full experience, renting a kayak is a MUST! We saw a very large manatee, a baby shark, an eel, and beautiful fish on our kayak trip! They also have a small island with a bench across from the condo that is very cool to kayak too with cool seashells! Water shoes help when the tide is low! ;) We also rented a boat from A &A boat rentals for half the cost of other boat rental places! If you rent a boat, go see Oscar and head to the sandbar! The private beach at the condo is nice and quiet. The people that live at the condo are so so friendly!! Very welcoming! It is an older property, so I would recommend checking there is no upgrades planned to go on during your stay. I had read all the Google and VRBO reviews about the upgrades that went on from when they were hit by Irma, so I assumed they would have been completed by my stay! And they were, But just like any older building, it still neededsome maintenance and upkeep! We did not expect the construction during our stay, but we were able to accommodate our stay with adventures during the day! Regardless, the owners of this property take pride in their rental, and are willing to do anything possible to make sure you have a 5 star experience while you’re there! They have the awesome reviews for a reason. Also, make sure you bring some quarters for laundry, we ended up going to four places to exchange change for laundry while we were there! It ends up being $4 a load for laundry! Not a big deal, but I wish we were better prepared with change! Thank you for the awesome stay!!
