The home was absolutely beautiful and very clean. Just as pictured. Views were spectacular from every room. Perfect place to just kick back and relax and rejuvenate. Thanks you sharing your home with us.

This rental is exceptional in every detail. The structure, construction, decorating, and stocking of this property have all been thought out very carefully. Once you are there, you could spend the entire week at the property and be entirely happy; but don't do that because there is so much to enjoy in this area. The location in the lower Keys is residential and quiet, but it is very quick drive to Key West if you crave excitement or a very manageable drive to Marathon for a cruise down the 7 mile bridge, a visit to the Sea Turtle Hospital or to find a wide variety of dining options. The view from the house is spectacular. Beds and linens are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked for any cooking need. The margarita machine is a real treat. The house is equipped with great flat screen TV's. The pool, grill and outdoor dining area are a dream. The rooftop deck can keep you occupied both day and night. The house was spotlessly clean on arrival. It is a 3 story property without an elevator, but the stairs have railings on both sides and are easily manageable. We were here with our college age children. No one ever complained that they were bored. We all had adequate space in the house. We kayaked and went deep sea fishing. There are several good places to dine in Cudjoe Key when we didn't want to travel farther. There is a great little gourmet market in Summerland Key and a large Winn Dixie in Big Pine Key. We enjoyed some meals cooking at home and some meals going out. The owner is very helpful in providing any detail and strives to make your stay perfect in every way. We would recommend this property without hesitation. We hope we will return!

One of the most amazing vacation places we have ever enjoy.

Family Christmas vacation was spent in this Beautiful luxury home. Had a fantastic time really enjoyed the pool and daily kayaking. Close enough to Key West but not too close Highly recommend!!

We took our adult twin daughters, and their husbands, to the keys and stayed in Elizabeth's beautiful home. Truly everything about L'Anquesa was idyllic; from the view to the location, the outfitting of the home, the ease & comfort with which the home flows and the overall atmosphere. Even though L'Anquesa is not a luxurious hotel, it feels as if every need is tended to and is surrounded by absolute beauty. But, even better than a 4 star hotel, we all had our own "suites" complete with privacy and fully outfitted baths and yet had the closeness of a home when we all wanted it. The main family room is warm & inviting, literally steps to the ocean, has an open, fully outfitted kitchen and many more than the 6 of us would be very comfortable lounging here. The pool is perfect, there is an outside "family room" which we didn't even know about before we arrived, with large flat screen TV and fully equipped bar, open to the pool and the beautiful landscaping. You can feed a huge family from the grill, pots, pans, tools.......everything you have in your own home is here and, equally important, it's all spotless. The views from every room, including all the bedrooms, is limitless and perfect. There is a boat slip on the property so we rented a boat for the week which made for even a better time. And Elizabeth was a dream. From questions prior to booking to getting back to me about what we should do if Hurricane Matthew hit during our stay (it did not....we were fortunate as it was close!), Elizabeth always got back to me quickly and informatively. I do not like to travel, I am most definitely a home-body. Although I am still a home-body I would not hesitate to go back to L'Anquesa. It was absolutely perfect in every way for the 6 of us.

This home, in person, is even better than the pictures on the website! The beautiful landscaping gives you a sense of extreme privacy in a lush tropical resort. The property is teeming with marine and mammal wildlife. We saw a manatee, shark, horseshoe crab, iguanas, and a plethora of bird species right in the waters, not even five feet from the land! Waking up in the morning to gorgeous sun rises after sleeping on the most comfortable beds, then jumping in the heated pool; totally rejuvenated our minds and bodies! Ms. Elizabeth catered to our every need and her advice on where to eat, shop and sightsee was spot on! Visiting the Dry Tortugas national park by seaplane was breathtaking! We sincerely recommend this exceptional home!

This home is 100% as advertised on the VRBO listing. Spectacular views from every room and the back yard / pool. We loved the kayaks, the pool, and all the nearby restaurants. The service and information provided by the owner was everything we could ask for. We highly recommend this home for a special occasion get away!

Our family enjoyed a week in Cudjoe Key at this beautiful home. We brought our 24 foot boat and were pleased with the boat dock and easy access to the water. The pool area and outdoor kitchen were great places to spend the time when the weather was not suitable for being on the boat. The home has fantastic views and a great rooftop area where we watched sunsets each night. Elizabeth has done a fantastic job with the furnishings in the house. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants a beautiful place to stay in the lower keys!

WOW......definitely the first response when entering the main living area of this incredible home. The views, the decor, the landscape....all are outstanding. The photos provided in the VRBO Ad truly reflect the beauty. With seven house guests, this home was adequately equipped for comfort for all guests. The top floor, dual Master Suites were absolutely stunning, with a wrap around deck overlooking the ocean. The Bidets in the In Suite baths were a real treat for all of the guests. The roof top deck provided spectacular views of the ocean, sunrise, sunsets and stars. It was a little too hot to sun but you had the gorgeous pool for that purpose. I dropped one star in the rating due to the amount of stairs in this home. Ours was a 50+ crowd and the continuous up and down stairs was a challenge for some. The pool does not have a pool bath, which requires a full flight of stairs whenever you needed the facilities. Coming in and out of the home required a full flight of stairs. The Master Suites required two full flight of stairs and the roof top deck required three flights of stairs. BUT, in defense, this style and architecture is required in the Florida Keys with its low elevation and seaside location. This home is not recommended for the elderly, those with health issues, and/or very young children (bring the baby gates). Restaurants that are hard to find but worth the search: No Name Pub on Big Pine Key and Hogfish Grill on Stock Island. Boat Rental: We used Big Pine Boat Rentals at mile marker 24.5, great service, great price, and helpful in getting us to Looe Key for snorkeling. Fishing: Southpaw Fishing Charter, Captain Brad. Although the fishing was slow, Captain Brad searched the high seas to put us on Dolphin and Sailfish. Thanks to Elizabeth for her timely response to all inquiries and for assisting with all of our needs.

Beautiful house with priceless views!

I have stayed in places all over the world and I would rank Elizabeth's home in the top 3 if not the top 2. It exceeded our expectations which were already high after seeing the pictures and reading the comments online. The house was outstanding in every way, views from every part of the house, kitchen, large den and bedrooms, great pool area with wonderful view, and even bidets in the master bathrooms. And the Sonos sound system was amazing. We had 3 couples and had plenty of privacy when we wanted. Close enough to key west to be there in 25 minutes but we really didn't need or want to leave the house. Several close by great little places to eat and good seafood. We grilled out most of our stay with the nice big grill by the pool with the great view. Elizabeth was helpful when I had questions and made sure we had everything we needed. With quick responses too. I was a little bit scared of the price when I booked it but the moment we arrived I was well pleased. With three couples the cost per night was less than a nice hotel and 10 times better. Bottom line, don't wait or hesitate. BOOK THIS HOUSE!! You will not regret it. We are already planning our next trip back. Thanks Elizabeth! Scott

L'Anquesa offers the perfect escape for the over-worked and burnt out professional. The amenities and award-worthy architecture of this home make it breathtaking. Put this on your bucket list if you're looking to decompress in the Florida Keys!
