This is in a great location. It’s barely off the highway but you would never know once you are there. We spent many nights at the shared boat harbor on the property watching the spectacular sunsets!

Sean was absolutely great!
We enjoyed the cute stylish condo and a short walk to the water. We brought our JetSki and was able to keep it in the water and use it as we pleased. Short walks to various great restaurants was so awesome! We forgot something at the condo and Sean was so nice to retrieve it for us and mail it back to us! Thank you Sean! We will return!

Best stay ever.
From the ability to launch a boat on site to a mooring that sheltered the boat all the way to a great and modern condo to stay in. This place was a winner; and we will be back several times this summer. Fishing was fantastic as well. Manager was available for a quick call if anything was not spot on. Outdoor lights were not on the new time and was fixed same day as the call. Thanks again....see you soon.

Lovely quiet condo
Very clean, sparkling. Two similar bedrooms with en suite bathrooms in each. Responsive hosts. Short walk to waterfront (although not a swimmable beach). Very close to great attractions although either a car or bike is needed to really explore the area. Great WiFi and Netflix as well as other stuff on tv. We watched bloodlines of course. Highly recommended by us!

Hidden Gem : top and bottom floor rental
We rented both units together this March and were very pleased! Sean was very communicative and handled everything very well. The unit is very clean , appointed with our needs and he worked to get us in a few hours early on our first day. The location was wonderful and having a washer/dryer was a huge help! I would recommend to friends/family in the future. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was wonderful as well. Not having a closet was a small disappointment but understandable do to the size of the room and the racks and hangers were sufficient. Only other suggestion was to add a bit more remodeling to the wash room........ We had a wonderful visit, parking was easy and "neighbors" were quiet but friendly! Thank you, Sean
oops also, there was no Keurig as promised in either apt .
5.0 / 5.0
Great stay! Highly recommend.
The property was exactly as described. The location was perfect for an Islamorada vacation. The city has a free shuttle service, no driving necessary. Sean was available to answer questions and did an excellent job of managing the property. A return trip could happen!
5.0 / 5.0
Great location
We came down for a fishing trip out of bud and Mary’s. This place was close to everything we needed. Clean and plenty of room for the 4 of us. The split king wasn’t very comfortable is the only draw back.
5.0 / 5.0
It really is hidden gem!!
We were extremely happy! Everything about this place was amazing. Location, proximity to the water / view, cleanliness and the hosts!! We cannot wait to spend more time at this location.
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent Stay
We had a great time here. The condo is recently renovated and very nice. Sean is very helpful with anything you need. This is a great spot to bring your boat. The boat basin has everything you need to wash your boat, flush the motor and charge your batteries.

This place is great . Location is awesome and Sean couldn’t have been more helpful.
Me and 2 buddies came to do some fishing and diving. The house was very clean and updated. Sean couldn’t have been more helpful making suggestions on places to eat and things to do. We will be coming back with a bigger group for a longer stay and will definitely be staying here again.

Perfect place for STR in Islamorada!
Stayed with two grad school friends during a short fishing weekend with our friend who owns a boat nearby. This place was ideal to fet to the fic each day and to local restaurants at night. And Sean was extremely helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend!
