Our family of 5 adults spent 2 weeks over the holidays. We have visited the keys many times over the past 20 years and this was by far the best place we have stayed. The home is beautiful and well-appointed. We rented a boat and utilized the dock, which worked out great. The pool is very nice and the heat can be turned up to function as a hot tub, which was awesome on a few of the cool days. We had a private chef dinner (Chris' Clearwater Charters) at the home and the kitchen had everything needed and more. The location is perfect with many restaurants and bars within an easy walk. Communication was outstanding and check-in was a breeze. Owners were close by and very responsive during our stay. Just an awesome place and we can't wait to go back!

The house was well maintained and comfortable. The kitchen was better equipped than most rentals. There were plug-in air fresheners in every bathroom which we unplugged upon arrival because we prefer unscented interiors. The plunge pool was a great place to relax in the afternoons. Highly recommend this house.

We enjoyed the house and its central location in Islamorada. We enjoyed having a boat split for our Boston Whaler. We forgot which day it was multiple times.. That is a sign of a wonderful vacation.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality design and comfort of the house. The private outdoor area is nicer than the photos. Very well appointed, good appliances, great layout for 4 adults and a few kids. Location is perfect for Islamorada lovers. Dockage is convenient. Owner is extremely accommodating and communicative. Whatever inevitable minor issues or questions arose were addressed quickly and thoroughly. Neighbors are friendly and the complex is quiet and private. Overall a terrific experience!

Islamorada Getaway
This property is everything you need and then some. Cleanliness was top notch. The kitchen is spacious with plenty of supplies to meet our baking & meal preparation needs. Both pools are beautifully maintained & we used them frequently. We met some of the neighbors who were very polite & friendly. Everyone enjoyed using the paddle boards. We even got to see a manatee!! Our favorite spot was the upstairs, covered porch.. playing cards, watching the sunset or taking a nap in the hammock chair. Thanks Giovanna, we'll spread the word about your amazing property!!

Paradise
This property is absolutely beautiful and I don't think the pictures even do it justice. The ocean was even closer than I anticipated which made it very convenient to rent a boat for the week. I highly recommend this location.

Perfect property for what we were looking for. House had everything we needed. Giovanna was responsive and helpful. Being able to rent a boat and tie up right at the dock was a huge bonus.

Everything you need
This property was beautiful... great space, has all the amenities. We loved the location and the setting. Having the private plunge pool was fabulous for having a cocktail after dinner. The dock was perfect for the boat and also seeing all the wildlife (manatee, fish, baby sharks). We took sunset cruises out into the harbor each night. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Our group had a great time and were very impressed with this propery. Thank you for a memorable vacation.

Relaxing Stay in Islamorada
We had a wonderful stay at this house in Islamorada. It is in the prime location to walk to local events, spas, shopping, and the best restaurants. We enjoyed time at the Cheeca Lodge, Bad Boy Burrito, and Square Grouper. It’s in short driving range to Theater of the Seas, Robbie’s, Bud and Marys, and Founders Park. The house was spotless, very clean, had all the amenities you needed for cooking, and had lots of room. The private plunge pool and the large community pool were both perfectly heated during our stay and both were very clean and well maintained. There were bikes available for use to ride around Islamorada. Our host Giovanna was very accommodating and had excellent communication skills. We had a wonderful, relaxing time and have already planned our vacation back next year!

Thanksgiving in Paradise!!!
This property will not disappoint! The community has a laid-back Keys vibe, and the home is beautifully decorated. We stayed the week of Thanksgiving when the weather was perfect. Enjoyed the bicycles and paddleboards, as well as hanging in the plunge pool watching football on the big screen and relaxing. Giovanna was the perfect host. We hope to stay again soon.

Paradise and Relaxation
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful property. The home is gorgeous, immaculate and has everything you need for rest, relaxation and a bit of fun. The location is also great. We were able to snorkel, fish, and swim at the beach within just a few miles. My girls loved spending time in the splash pool after the days activities. While my husband and I enjoyed watching the sunset with a glass of wine at the end of the day. We look forward to our next stay.

Beautiful, stylish home in the center of everything that Islamorada has to offer!
This new-construction home is simply lovely, with a smart layout and contemporary coastal decor that captures the spirit of the Keys, without being cheesy. The property was exceptionally clean and was turn-key. The kitchen was equipped with everything one would need, and then some. With two teenagers and a younger child, the bedroom arrangement was ideal, giving each of them plenty of space.
We brought our 22' boat, which the dock accommodated nicely. The dock was well lit, and had new rubber bumpers, plenty of cleats, and water hoses for easy end-of-day clean up. The open water views from the dock and pool area are fantastic.
The property's location is within walking distance of multiple famous Islamorada restaurants and waterfront bars. The new Publix just down the road, along with a smaller nearby market, made stocking the fridge a simple endeavor.
Giovanna was a terrific host, making our arrival worry-free, and answered any questions we had thoroughly and promptly. This was a fantastic rental! Great job!

Keys 2021
Giovanna was very attentive and assisted with anything we needed. Angler House was not able to honor our reservation for our boat trailer that we had made 3 months ago and confirmed the weekend before we arrived so this was very disappointing. Everything else was just as we expected. :) Thank you.

Wonderful Property
Wonderful property located in an excellent location on Islamorada with several restaurants and stores within walking distance. The property is nicely decorated and well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. There is a plunge pool right outside the living room and you are also just a few steps from the community pool, dock and water. We certainly enjoyed our week.

Beautiful Stay
Giovanna was a wonderful host! Thoughtful communication was helpful and she has thought of it all. The house is beautifully decorated and spotless. The beds and lines are incredibly comfortable. Great amenities and special touches added to the enjoyment of all. It was the perfect location on Islamorada and the marina recommendation made bringing our boat much easier!

Great stay. Loved this property
We had a wonderful time here. The only negative was that the entire keys was out of the very small containers of propane so no grilling was had
2.5 / 5.0
This place is amazing - you will not regret staying here. They house is extremely clean and decorations are well thought out.The layout of the house is very comfortable in the fact that there are three bedrooms all on the top floor along with two full bathrooms which made night time with littles easy and mornings a breeze for everyone getting ready. The beds, sheets, pillows are high end and very comfortable. In fact our daughter is now begging us for a new bed that compares to what she stayed on here.The personal plunge pool was the highlight of the trip with our kids - they would have been happy to stay at the VRBO in the pool the whole time if we let them. Of course there are so many fun family things to do in the keys that we did not do that but it made coming back to the VRBO extremely easy and relaxing.We will definitely be staying here again on our future trips to the Keys. Thank you Giovanna for your amazing communication throughout our trip which greatly helped to make this a relaxing comfortable vacation for our family!

Great house!
We really enjoyed our visit to Islamorada. We visit the Keys often; this was one of our favorite stays. Owner was very attentive and was quick to respond anytime I had a question. The house itself was beautiful, clean and well kept. Location was great! We brought our boat. Per the owner’s recommendation: we put the boat in at Angler House Marina (they were fabulous). They stored our trailer for the week and helped with put in and take out for a nominal fee. Overall great vacation experience. I would highly recommend.

Perfect slice of Paradise!
The property is gorgeous! We have been coming to Islamorada for over 20 years and this new property was perfect for our stay with 6 people. Great location, walking distance to everything. Our children loved the private pool, community pool and the dock fishing was great for our children as well. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. House was very well organized and very clean! Would love to stay here again!

This place is great!
Awesome property. House is beautiful on the inside. Location is amazing. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, breweries and a grocery store. Hosts are extremely kind and accommodating. Would recommend without hesitation.
Only issue we had was that one of the bedrooms upstairs doesn’t have a door (the room w/ bunk beds) and which added some difficulty when it came to sleeping arrangements for our son. But other than that, place was perfect!

Perfection in islamorada
We had the most wonderful experience in this home. The owner has impeccable taste and the house is so cute, modern and well appointed. The house is located in a small group of 6 town homes. Everyone is super friendly and there is a little area on the bay where there are a few lunge chairs and you can watch sunset. There is also a community pool in addition to the individual pool at the house. The owner was great at communicating and was very accommodating. We hope to return next year! Great for our family of 5.

The property is beautiful and extremely well maintained. It is located in the best possible location in Islamorada.
