Everything was good. I did feel however the property could have supplied more bath towels and blankets. Also the pools needs some cleaning. There were a lot of bugs. Very buggy. Think you can spray more for that. Other than that the house and view was great!

We were celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday. There were 17 people in our group. Adults and children. Something for everyone to do. We enjoyed relaxing at the property by the pools, fishing from the dock, kayaking and paddle boarding. We went scuba diving with better than most scuba, deep sea fishing on the tail walker. We hired chef Heather for several dinners. It was an amazing trip.

Our family takes an annual trip together, there were 17 of us this time. The property had something for everyone, best aspects are the sunsets and the infinity pool. The property manager was one of the best we've ever had- very responsive.

I like the separation of the bedrooms. Having the 2 separate sleeping areas are great. Especially when you have a family with younger children.

This property is amazing. It accommodated our family perfectly, we appreciated the three living spaces. The kitchen in the main house is large which allowed many prepping and cooking at the same time. The large pans need to be replaced due to peeling coating, everything else was great. The outside was amazing, such a beautiful estate. The infinity pool and hottub are protected from the wind, so even the tornado high winds didnt stop our fun. It was a vacation to remember, thanks.

All 7 kids loved having their own house with pool. Girls and boys had their own rooms. Sunsets were spectacular. Boys had room to play and girls grabbed some rays. Fishing was great. Excellent for BIG family.

Our week at Southern Diversion was very very nice – but not perfect. The buildings and grounds were exceptional. The house was very clean, furniture was in good condition, and the beds were comfortable. Snorkeling was a wonderful experience, the infinity pool was a big favorite, and the Tiki hut was perfect. We had a family group of fifteen people 18 to 85 years old and everyone enjoyed the week immensely.
The not-so-perfect issues were lack of bathrooms and shortage of dining table space. Note that people using the Casita will not have a bathroom of their own - they have to go into the main house and use a bathroom there. The guest house has two shared bathrooms for three bedrooms (beds for 9 people) – not horrible, but certainly not up to standard for this price range. The dining area has one table with 10 chairs – not really sufficient for a large group that likes to eat together. We knew this from the website info and were able to move a table and chairs from the porch into the dining area. That worked reasonably well – but certainly not perfect.
Access to Key West was good – about 1 hr 15 min drive and nearby activities were plentiful. Boat rental and fishing charters were readily available in Marathon along with a large variety of restaurants and good shopping.
We had a wonderful week and would happily return in future.

I guess for 60k a week we expected the house to be in good condition. The bathrooms are dated but in poor condition. Leaks from showers up leaking to lower level. Faucets and showers in poor condition. Many lights were out. Small refrigerator for a large group. The chef that was Recommended was terrible wouldn’t recommend her to anyone else. The outside was lovely. The beach. However the amenities such as chairs outside and other amenities dirty and old. The furniture in the house broken down and dirty. All in all I would not rent this property again. If you want more details feel free to call me. Mary Campbell. 561.951.0602

Beautiful property and worked well for our large group. It was very private and secure. It had a few minor issues , such as we needed more linens for kids who decided to crash on the couch in the big house. Also, the boat ramp was tricky because of how steep it was. We had a few minor plumbing issues too, but the property manager was quick to resolve them. Over all it was a great stay!

loved all the space we had .. we had 4 kids and 8 adults and the space was perfect the driveway was nice and long so the kids could ride their scooters and skateboards .. the pools and hot tub was great.. they do need to get some good stainless steel pots and pans all the ones in kitchen are peeling so not so great to cook in... other then that it was all great..

We have waited 2.5yrs to get to this property, and it was worth the wait! The property is huge you never feel crowded. The fishing off the dock was awesome! Thanks again!

Beautiful houses and property. I over packed, they have multiple kitchens with everything you need! Cooking pots and large skillets for a group, a deep freeze in the pantry, multiple coffee makers with coffee and filters (which i forgot both), blenders, beach towels, sunscreen, games,. We dove for lobsters right off the dock and seawall.

Best family vacation ever!
16 members of my family came from 4 different states to gather at this amazing estate. Everything was so clean and there was room for all of us to stay comfortably. The main house, guest house, cabana and casita were just perfect! Everyone agreed that the beds were so comfortable. Beautiful furnishings and the 3 pools were well used and enjoyed especially by our 4 young children. Decks and balconies everywhere with amazing views of the water. The pier was a a real plus. We were able to rent 2 deck boats and keep them at the property. Just a beautiful estate! Foliage was gorgeous and made us feel that we were on an island to ourselves. We felt so safe with the main gate locking. We will definitely gather here again!

Paradise found!
Property was in a great location but somewhat outdated. It needs a little TLC, but everything was in working order. Pools were awesome and the views were spectacular. Property manager (Joe) was outstanding, and checked on us when he was working on site to make sure that everything was OK. Great time had by all the family. Snorkeling around the pier was great, as well. Sunsets were breathtaking!

Happy Campers
We came down with 20 family members from aged 60 to 1, kids loved the pools and property gave plenty of space to provide alone time for those who desired. Property manager Joe was great for addressing any small issues with TV, fans and whatnot. Great experience for the whole family.

24/7 Beach life
Our view was breathtaking and our grandchildren had an aquarium right in their backyard to snorkel in whenever they wanted. Paddle boards and kayaks and 3 amazing pools to take turns in kept them very busy. Just walking outside the gate was a wonderful nature walk through this lovely community and creatures scurrying about to catch but they never did. We loved cooking in the open kitchen and BBQ’s on the deck were great and we rarely went out to eat. We hope to come back and my granddaughter wants to have her next birthday party here. I can just imagine them in a few years enjoying the 3 bedroom house with the pool table and telling us it’s theirs for the week
We rented a 19 foot boat which we tied to the pier and found some beautiful fishing spots and a great sandbar to play on

Best home rental experience
My company goes to the Keys for an annual company trip. The owner (Terri), the maintenance man (Joe) and the beautiful home made for one of our best trips.
Before we arrived at the house I could not find my reservation info and I couldn't figure out how to log into VRBO. I set it up with my company email vs my personal. I was freaking out because our flight was leaving shortly and we were arriving late on a Saturday. I called VRBO, they got a message to Terri, and she called me immediately. Life saver! Sounds like a wonderful woman too.
The home was clean and well stocked. I've rented a number of houses where there are no extra garbage bags, toilet paper, etc.. Here we didn’t have make an immediate run to the store to stock up. We were there for 5 days and had 15 guests.
The home is on 2 acres and had tons of privacy. Our group is well behaved but there were no concerns about bothering the neighbors.
The 2 separate guest houses were a blessing too. The people who wanted to stay up late were all far away from the main house.
We all had a great time and will definitely return. Thank you Terri and Joe for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home!

Birthday Celebration with Friends!
. We spent most of the time in the 2 heated pools and hot tub. The main house kitchen is very well appointed for cooking for large group. The property and houses were great although they are more suited for families than adult couples as the guest house only has 1 bathroom and sleeps 8, But we knew that going in.

Family Vacation and Wedding
Southern Diversion in Grassy Key Fl. was an excellent choice for our family vacation and daughter's wedding. We spent ten days in this tropical paradise. The property manager Joe was very helpful and met all our needs. You can't go wrong renting this property. We look forward to a return trip.

Dream Family Vacation
This was a family vacation a year and a half in the making! Fifteen members of our family spent a week in October there and it was wonderful. The property was perfect for our large family and the location in the Middle Keys was also great. Highly recommend.

Really Great Location
By far one of my favorite houses I've rented in the last 15 years. Typically I stay on mainland Marathon, but this house had everything we needed in terms of size an amenities. I'll break it down below.
Location
I love grassy key, been looking to buy in Marathon for a while, and now realize that this is my ideal location on Bayside. Love the clear water, sealife and amazing sunsets.
House
The house works great for large groups, you aren't on top of each other which is great. Multiple pools is awesome if you want to get out of the sun mid day, use the front pool.
The only real issue is that the house needs TLC. Guest queen bed needs to be replaced. They were super accommodating and sent us brand new pillows. Floors are in bad shape from water damage. I get it, these houses get beat up, so I don't expect a luxury private residence. Joe said they are on top of it already which is great.
A bait freezer is an absolute necessity, it's cheaper to replace a bait freezer than the main refrigerator. We docked our boat at the property and unfortunately had to keep our bait in the main house
Overall had an amazing time at this property and we will be back. Owners and Manager were extremely responsive which sealed the deal for me.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
My father's health is declining so this trip to the Keys was our last trip together with the whole family, and it couldn't have been more perfect. I cannot express enough how amazing the set up of this property was. From the bedrooms, to the living rooms, to the kitchen, there was plenty of room to accomodate our large party of 18. The swimming pools and hot tub were a favorite with the kids, especially the swimming pool in the middle of the two houses. It was shaded and much cooler to swim in the August heat. There is an ice machine in the kitchen of the Main house which we constantly used and we were very grateful for. The sunsets had to be my favorite. Every night the sky would light up right over the water with pinks, orange, reds, and purples. It was breathtaking. We did rent a boat for the week to lobster fish but after the first day we realized we didn't really need it. We were able to catch lobster right out in front of the house. Although there were a lot of shorts, we were able to find a couple of keepers! I would highly recommend snorkeling right out front. We saw lots of fish, including Parrot fish, Snapper,Tarpon, Stingrays, Nurse sharks, an Eel, and a Manatee! The property manager was AWESOME, very quick to respond to anything that we needed. When we come back to the keys this is definitely where we will stay again!

Friends and Family vacation
Our five families had a great time. We loved the property. Unbelievable sunsets every night. Quiet and secluded. We had a great week with the 20 of us. The property manager was great and very responsive to anything we needed. We opted for the paddle boards and kayaks which turned out great. Boat dock was great. If we decide to return to keys, this will be top of our list.

Our entire family and extended family stayed at the amazing Southern Diversion! From family luau and 80’s nights, to the most breathtaking sunsets, we enjoyed our stay to the fullest! Freddy, the manatee, was entertainment for the Littles, too! Terri, Kevin and Joe couldn’t be more accommodating! We finally got our “do over” vacation! Perfection!

The property is perfect for large groups. If you have boats and enjoy fishing then you are in the perfect location. We had a great time swimming at the pools and at the dock. We would definitely come back again.

Went with a group of 5 couples.
It was a nice property on the beach. We went in February and used the pool by the beach mostly as it was heated. The hot tub was nice We enjoyed the walks on the pier watching sharks and other fish as the water was very clear. Great places to eat nearby. We took morning walks just outside the gate every morning for exercise. Enough dishes and pots and pans to cook for a large group. Maybe could have used more towels but overall a great experience.
