First let me start by saying that the location on the beach is absolutely amazing. That’s where the positives end. When we arrived at the property we noticed it looked a bit disheveled. Bags of construction sand lying on the beach, trash/empty water bottles and beer bottles strewn about the beach area and yard, multiple garden hoses thrown all over the property, construction materials and debris left on the property including a large ladder and items that appear to have been left out for months or years. The home itself needs some major work. It was built in 1993 and honestly it probably hasn’t had anything done to it since then. The screen doors had holes, the only portion of the entryway that locks is the deadbolt at the handle is broken and just pushes open. The bannisters going up the staircase are loose and Jerry rigged with rand lumber. Once inside the unit it’s very dated. Think 1993 design. The couches are very uncomfortable, the home is cluttered and the TV didn’t work. The coffee table collapsed as I placed a drink on it. It’s clearly been repaired in the past as evidenced by duct tape. The bathroom had what appeared to be a smashed roach in the corner and the towels and wash cloths were a hodgepodge of worn out multi colored towels with tears and tears of use under their belt. Moving onto the bedrooms, the beds were so hard and uncomfortable I checked to make sure it wasn’t two box springs stacked together. The pillows are so flat and cheap/worn out it takes 4 to equal one normal pillow. The roof leaks, I mean pours water when it rains and has been as evidenced by the large water staining on the ceiling. Truth be told I tried to book somewhere else and ask for a refund but couldn’t find anything within reason that wasn’t owned by FreeWheeler. We ended up checking out a day early because the unit became unusable due to the water leak from the ceiling. When I brought the issues to the attention of Crystal who seems to be the property manager she offered nothing but “Sorry, we’ll get it fixed.” I asked if she had every been to the home, she stated she hadn’t. It’s completely evident they purchased a furnished home from someone and threw it onto VRVO. There are picture frames with children on the night stands and personal effects form the family that previously owned the property all over the home. I had high hopes after looking at the pictures. It all I got was a let down with a beautiful view.

Paradise
Outdoor space was beyond my expectations. Inside there is a lot of stuff and I think that impacts the cleanliness and ease of keeping it clean. Either way it was a fantastic place and the price was very good. For the price and the outdoor space including a wonderful screened porch I would easily recommend it. Just bring your own coffee maker and it might be a good idea to bring your own linens, pillows, and a mattress topper.

Concerns were verbally relayed to Freewheeler and they appreciated comments. Overall very relaxing and enjoyable. Main concern were some inaccuracies in the rental paperwork. WiFi code and no mention of construction occurring Nextdoor.

Best honeymoon house on the island
We got to meet the owner and she was extremely nice and accommodating. The house is gorgeous and has a homey feel to it. We had a blast taking finding and relaxing on the rooftop terrace. The privacy of the small beach was perfect. We left the doors open and listened the waves- because the screen porch kept all unwanted guests away. I recommend the November trip. The house is more than big enough for two couples. We would stay again tomorrow. Islamorada was more fun than key west to us. But the drive to key west is not bad and keeps you out of hoopla. Definitely booking again!

Perfect house and location
We had a blessed time lots of relaxing. House is better than the photos loved the screened balcony. The home was super clean appliances are dated but everything works as it should. Very quiet neighborhood could not have ask for a better week. Crystal was great, getting keys is a breeze. Thanks to everyone at Freewheeler Vacations

Perfect vacation
Location on the Florida Bay wS perfect. Excellent house for kids. Tile floors were no worry, low maintenance. My only complaints would be quality of sheets and the mosquitoes when the breeze wasn’t blowing. Screened porch was awesome.

very nice
Our 2nd visit to this property. It is a comfortable spot, just not walking distance to much of anything...Also, would be nice if the roof offered a hot tub ...just a thought. Also it is inconsistent on "water toys"...They should be available or not available. Last year we had access, this year not and no one could tell us where the key was to access....this posed some problems. House is not fancy, but clean and friendly.

LOVED EVERYTHING!
It was so relaxing being right on the water. We had everything we needed! The house was really comfortable and sitting on the screened porch looking at the water with a coffee or a cocktail was a highlight! Great house and location for kids.
Thanks for a great vacation.

Nice and quiet
Property was cute with lovely ocean views. Very quiet there. Everything is 10-15 minutes from the property. Groceries are 15-20 + drive. Place was nice for a lazy sort of vacation. We enjoyed renting kayaks and paddle boards for daytime fun. The yard is small and after Irma, there is no "beach" as it once had, but we dealt with it. Lots of Iguanas on the property which were fun to watch from the balcony.We would return for a laid back vacation.
