THERE ARE SOME HOMES WITH OCEAN PEEKS OR PARTIAL VIEWS THRU THE TREES, BUT FOR PANORAMIC UNOBSTRUCTED OCEAN VIEWS - FROM INSIDE AND OUT - THERE IS ONLY ANGLERS REEF 140! See our many REVIEWS, which tell it all! Our home is known as "Aqua Vistas" and for good reason: THE OCEAN VIEWS DON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN FROM THIS HOME - inside from every room and outside from the two covered wraparound decks that offer OVER 700 SQFT of outdoor living area!

Although the Anglers Reef community is oceanfront, we are one of only 5 truly OceanFRONT HOMES in the community, and the only rental with our unobstructed ocean views. See the community layout in the photo gallery for our QUIET corner location away from highway traffic noise, pool noise, and the late night music from Hog Heaven on the other side of the community.

AND WE OWN A BOAT SLIP FOR YOUR STAY IF DESIRED.

ANGLER'S REEF is a boutique gated community of 52 homes inspired by Native Conch & British West Indies architecture with quaint streets & walking paths at Mile Marker 84.9 in Islamorada. With 3 bedrooms (including a King Master en suite, Queen guest bedroom and a 3rd bedroom with pyramid bunks (full down and twin up), 2 1/2 baths, plus a queen pullout sofa in the Living Room, Anglers Reef 140 can accommodate up to 6 adults and 2 children..

Relax on one of our spacious decks, or in the lushly landscaped pool area with large heated and chilled pool, or on one of two stunning private beaches. Or take one of the community kayaks or SUPs out for a paddle, visit a sandbar at low tide, or cast a line for great fishing! An optional boat slip is also available. We have direct ocean access via our deepwater channel, plus easy Gulf access via Snake Creek and Whale Harbor, both less than a mile away.

Islamorada fishing locations don't get much better - the famous Islamorada Flats are right out front for bonefish, permit and tarpon; Alligator Reef is just a few miles offshore; the inshore patch reefs offer a variety of snappers and tasty bottom fish; and within just a few more miles of shore there are sailfish, mahi, kingfish, wahoo, tuna and more along the big reef in a few hundred feet of water. Our 31' boat slip in the Anglers boat lagoon is also available. Maximum allowed boat length is 31 feet, max draft is 3.5 feet and max height above the waterline of 9 feet.

We are the original owners since 2008 and have made many upgrades and additions nearly every year since for our - and YOUR - enjoyment! Our home is fully equipped with all the best - guests love the fully stocked kitchen and the propane BBQ grill on the deck - there's even an electric fireplace for cool winter evenings! And enjoying meals or cocktails while enjoying our ocean views -- from inside and out! The views don't stop when you go inside - the 7 pairs of French doors and numerous windows let you enjoy the panoramic ocean views from nearly every room. Watch sunrises from every bed! Tile showers, Viking and KitchenAid appliances, granite kitchen counters, 4 Flat Screen Smart TVs, & more! See link to our many GUEST REVIEWS! We are also the closest home to the south Beach and just 150' from the heated and chilled pool (close enough for convenience, but far enough away to avoid the pool noise so you can enjoy a quiet afternoon on your deck if you choose!)

Please see our Availability Calendar for open weeks. We keep it very up to date with the exception of leases in process which do not show as booked until the lease and deposit are received.

For Fishing People: PLEASE SEE OUR MANY GUEST REVIEWS for the best descriptions of what to expect at Anglers 140! Once you reserve your vacation with us, we will send you our "Fishing Portfolio" of our guests' catches, along with instructions so you or your kids to catch fish right in the Anglers boat lagoon, and suggestions for guides, charters, and other places to fish!

Islamorada is synonymous with great fishing - gulf, backcountry or ocean. There are plenty of guides, charters, 'head boats' and boat rentals. You can also try for tarpon, permit, snook, spanish mackerel & more at nearby bridges or the many other access points. Right at the Anglers property, we've caught mangrove snapper, redfish, ladyfish, jack crevalle, moonfish, grunts, mullet & barracuda depending on season - just bring a light rod or two (Basic fishing instructions at the house in our Welcome Book - detailed instructions will be emailed!)

You'll see the flats guides poling for bonefish and permit just off the Anglers Reef beaches! If you don't bring your own boat or charter with a guide, you can launch a community kayak or SUP (after signing the Usage Agreement with your lease) from the beach, and try your luck fishing right out front or check out the mangrove shorelines (be careful of the strong tides by the bridges!) for snook, snappers, tarpon and barracuda! If you are serious about fishing from a kayak, bring or buy an inexpensive 3lb collapsible anchor and line!

For Non-fishing People: One of the reasons we chose Anglers Reef is that both the development and the Islamorada area offer a lot to do for people who are NOT into fishing. Besides the gorgeous pool area in Anglers and great views from our decks and the private beaches, nearby is great shopping & restaurants (including 2 eateries you can walk to!), plus Founders Park, the Diving Museum, and of course Theater of the Sea just 1/2 mile away! And a new Publix is just a mile south for groceries!

Onsite: Enjoy our spacious wraparound decks with propane BBQ and the views of the turquoise waters; swim in the large pool (heated in winter and cooled in summer!), relax with a book or cocktail overlooking the Atlantic; take a quiet stroll thru the complex; or catch some sun on the private beaches.

Restaurants: Just a short walk north are Hog Heaven, a fun sports bar on the water with great happy hour and surprisingly good bar food. Next to it is Island Grill. Just north of the Snake Creek bridge is Puerto Vallarta, a very decent Mexican restaurant. A few miles south is upscale Pierre's on the Gulf and the more casual Morada Bay beach cafe and Islamorada Fishery (all next to Worldwide Sportsman for fishing tackle, clothing, and a large indoor aquarium); also a few more miles south you'll find the Green Turtle Inn, Lazy Days, and Square Grouper restaurants & many more eateries.

Attractions: Swim with dolphins at Theater of the Sea 1/2 mile south. Founders Park is just a mile north with concerts and lots to do. The Islamorada Chamber of Commerce visitors center is also near the entrance to Founders Park for local info as well as affordable postcards, posters, T-shirts and some Keys books.

Shopping: So much so close! From upscale gifts and clothing to Keys-ey schtick and souvenirs.

Grocery & Other Shopping: A new Publix is just a mile south. There are also small markets in and around Islamorada, including the Trading Post two miles south. There is also a Winn Dixie a few minutes north (around Mile Marker 91 in Tavernier, west side of the highway). Buy your beer and wine at the grocery stores - less expensive than liquor stores. CVS is 1 mile south and also has well-priced beer/wine, and some basic foodstuffs and Keysy schtick.

If you are going south, Marathon (about MM 50-ish) has a Publix, Winn Dixie, and a Home Depot.

From the north, at Florida City right where you get off onto Rt 1 is a BJ's Wholesale (membership required). There is also a Walmart there (but it seemed a little sketchy to us so we do not recommend it).

Lots of clothing and gift shops right in Islamorada!
