About this house rental

Come Play! Your 70-foot private dock provides instant access to fun – whether boating, fishing, swimming or relaxing under the shady, palm-roof “Chickee.” Enjoy your privacy with independent upstairs/downstairs units - friends, family, or guests will appreciate the extra bed, bath, living room and refrigerator downstairs.
The Dock: Have your boats or yacht waiting just outside your door. Large, deep-draft sailboats or yachts are easily accommodated with a waterway 20 ft deep and 100 foot wide. Even tall vessels travel quickly between the Ocean and Florida Bay using the drawbridge just 1000 yards from the dock. With gas, bait, and tackle shops located before the bridge, your convenience is assured.
*****Love Fishing?***** Enjoy casting right from the dock for yellow tail, red snapper or grouper. Cast-offshore for sport fishing in the Gulf Stream. The world famous “hump,” an underwater mountain just 11 miles from the dock, has made Islamorada fishing world famous; catch marlin, sailfish, black-fin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and many more ocean treasures.

Or just as easily, go backcountry fishing in Florida Bay and catch speckled trout or tarpon. A fish cleaning station at the end of the dock lets you clean your catch whenever your reeling arm is rested and ready.

*****Love Swimming, Snorkeling or Diving?***** Enjoy endless swimming right from the dock where the water is clean and refreshing, and the beverages are never far away. Living reefs and sunken wrecks are easily enjoyed by everyone, just three miles from the dock in 3-15 ft of water. Enjoy colorful tropical fish, coral rock formations and sea fans. Certified divers will enjoy the drop-off just five miles out, where the 20-30 foot reefs transition to 60+ feet, and sea life changes. And the world famous Islamorada Sandbar is just a 10 minute boat ride away for the daily water social.

The House: We only rent the house to one party at a time – so the upstairs and downstairs units are yours! Upstairs has Two Bedrooms, with a king size bed in the Master, a queen in the other guest suite, and a queen size sofabed in the living room There is one Bathroom upstairs and one downstairs. Downstairs has one Bedroom with a king size bed and a queen size sofa bed. Enjoy the convenience of a first floor bathroom, and refrigerator, sink and Microwave – perfect for those lazy outside days!

Ensure everyone's comfort with separate air conditioning systems for the upstairs and downstairs. You’ll find all of the conveniences you expect – comfortable accommodations, fresh linens, plenty of kitchen utensils, laundry machines, and a gas barbeque grill.

You will also find some unique conveniences, like plenty of room to park your boat trailer, extra dock capacity next door, an open lot next door for unobstructed breezes, a shaded palm-roof “chickee”, and private fish cleaning station. There are hanging chairs and a plush hammock for enjoying the outdoor experience... In all, there is room to stretch out and relax without being crowded by others.

Founders Park is 3000 feet from the house: an easy walk or drive, where you can enter free with your rental contract and enjoy the beach, walking paths, and family playgrounds. They provide small-fee access to swimming in the Olympic size pool - complete with diving boards, lap-lanes, and a separate splashpad for kids. Founders park is convenient for launching/loading boats at the boat ramp for nominal fees ($3/person pool, $20/ launch or loading boats). Larger boats are recommended to put in at the Harry Harris boat Ramp at mile marker 92.5 - just 6.5 miles from your rental & dock for the week.

Come and stay. Upstairs or down– this is a great place to play.

Island Time was perfect for our trip to the Keys. Great location near restaurants and boat rental was a short walk away. The host were very responsive and extremely nice. There was great communication and check in was very easy.

We decided to do a trip instead of gifts this year, and it was a successful experiment! We had four of our five children (twin 19 year old boys, 9 yo girl, 8 yo boy) along with my husband and myself. The divided “apartments” worked perfectly for our age-diverse family, and the location was not only great for fishing and a rented boat, but very centralized for checking out local attractions and lots of great restaurants. The twins even got around of golf in! It was our first trip to the Keys and we (every one of us) thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim was very helpful and we enjoyed Norm’s stories!

The house is exactly what we were looking for. Extremely clean and very comfortable. The beds were the best and we ldis not lack for anything. The location is perfect for getting to the ocean and the bay. The canal is perfect for floating, kayaking or paddle boarding. And the best part are the hosts. Norm and Nancy and family are wonderful. We will be back next year.

Was down with some friends to do some fishing and location can't be beat for both Gulf and Ocean access. Nancy and her husband checked in regularly to make sure everything was as expected and even let us bring the boat over early. Didn't spend much time inside with all the outdoor seating but the house had all the amenities when we went looking. Would love to come back again.

We’re a group of 6 adults looking to get away from the cold, gray, snowy weather at home. This was perfect for our group to access the water with a rented boat and explore the channels, with playful dolphins following in our wake. We saw a manatee near the neighbor’s dock. We sat it the hut to drink coffee and adult beverages! At night we played cards, chatted by the water, and enjoyed each other’s company while lessening our winter blues!

This gem is great for a sunny getaway! Loved everything from easy booking, to the warmest greetings from the host/owners, and the place itself was clean, tidy, well appointed inside and out, and perfect for our lil family of 4 with tons of room to spare. It’s perfectly located just a short distance from great food, groceries, parks, etc. It was absolutely perfect.

We had a great time at this location. I have stayed here many times before and it was great to see the new upgrades. I love this location as it is close to many amenities via water(fuel, bait, ice etc). we caught some great fish and really enjoyed the snorkeling on the reef. all in all, we could not have asked for a better trip and a better place to stay. we will book again at this location in the future. . Until next time Island Times.......

The home seems to be a work in progress, they’re gradually making updates. The upstairs is nicely updated with new appliances and a remodeled bathroom. The downstairs needs some work, especially the bathroom/shower. There were some areas throughout that needed deeper cleaning (ceiling fans, baseboards, downstairs tile floor). The host was very kind and appreciative, the home had all the amenities we needed and it’s in the perfect keys location. WiFi and lockbox information on the VRBO app didn’t match the information provided at the house.

This home was perfect for our week with friends. The kitchen was well stocked which I always appreciate. The beds were comfy and having two living spaces worked out great for our group. The technology in the house was a little outdated, but it didn't affect us at all. The back seating/patio area was the highlight for us. We sat outside almost every night. We grilled, ate outside, jumped in the canal, and had direct easy access to our boat. The 2 year old with us really loved visiting the Venetian Shores playground and pool area. Thanks Nancy for a lovely week.

They Island Times was a perfect house for us. We were able to dock our boat and park the trailer at the property. The owners were extremely accomodating. The house has everything that we needed. We particularly liked the layout. The downstairs had a separate entrance which was good for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable beds, chairs, sofas and outdoor furniture. We were there for fishing and the dock area, with 3 hoses for boat cleanup, fish cleaning table and very short canal ride to the open ocean were ideal. Outdoor freezer for frozen bait and chum blocks was great. Not an elegant house, but very nice for fishermen.

This home compared in price to a resort but gave us so much more room and freedom. The dock was a perfect place to fish casually from. We found everything we needed to cook our own meals when we wanted. Free admission to Founders Park gave our young adults plenty to do. Wave running, deep sea fishing, biking, the beach and a splash pad for the toddler. We love Islamorada!

Island Times worked great for us. Good dockage for the boat, and quick access to both the Atlantic and Gulf. Bait freezer, water hoses, power, etc. House was great as well. Two separate units but that worked out fine. Close restaurants. Look forward to coming back.
