This was a great house and overall was pretty nice. One of the biggest disappointments was there was no hand soap in the bathrooms. We anticipated having to buy stuff like hand soap, paper towels and toilet paper. However, there was VERY little of any of it. The washer ended its cycle twice without draining the water and we worried it would stop working. The dryer required us to run loads twice to get things dry. This was a huge problem 24 hours prior to checkout as we were scrambling to get all of the laundry they required us to wash before departing. This brings me to my next disappointment. Guests should not be required to wash the towels. When we arrived, my wife commented on the smell of the towels. The property manager requires guests wash the towels before departing. What if prior guests don’t wash the towels and simply fold them up? To leave this to the guests is pretty bad in my opinion. You show up at the house and just have to hope the previous guests washed the towels. Again, for the price, you’d think they would wash the towels. I understand starting a load of laundry or two, but that’s it. We owned a rental in Kissimmee FL and had our property manager and cleaners handle this. Lastly, the sheets in the master bedroom were pretty old and needed to be replaced. Pillows too. I’m not sure if we would stay here again.

The house worked very well for my husband and me, and our daughter, son-law and our two grandchildren. The kids loved the pool. It was so nice to be able to dock the boat right out back. The dock was excellently. Maintained! Only issue that others have noted was the stranded entrance to one of the bedrooms- you could only access the bedroom through the bathroom. Not a big deal for us. Overall the house was clean and bright. We would stay again!

We so loved our stay at this vacation home. The house is beautifully decorated and has a great layout so that everyone can spread out and have their own area or hang out together. Heated pool was our gathering spot after a fun day, tiki hut on the dock, where manatees came up to visit us every evening. Great walking area too.Only negative…you have to walk through bathroom to get to the double bedroom, or exit to outside and walk around.We were all family, so minor inconvenience for us. The master suite is luxurious!Would definitely rent again. Such fun!

The property was just as described. We had 7 adults ranging in age from 18 to 83 and it fit our needs perfectly. Having a property on all one level was a necessity and the few steps were easily navigated. From the walk-in master shower to the wading pool with built-in seating to the lovely tiki hut on the dock with a ceiling fan; this property really did have it all. The many indoor and outdoor gathering spots allowed the generations to play and chat or have a little individual quiet time. We especially appreciated the private patios attached to each bedroom as that was a surprise.

We had a group of 8 - two families of 4. The property was spacious, very clean, lots of sitting and dining areas (both inside, outside and on dock). All of the bedrooms and areas were exactly as described in the listing. The only thing that is a little awkward is that three bedrooms share one bathroom, and to actually enter one of the bedrooms, you have to walk through the bathroom or you have to exit the house on the side and enter the bedroom via an exterior door in the front. This was really just a minor annoyance for us since we were with very close friends and family, but something to keep in mind if your group is not quite as close. The master suite is huge and it is awesome. The standalone ice maker was a very nice touch and we utilized it heavily. The pool was nice, and clean, and a great spot for sitting and cooling off. We had a 30' center console boat, and there was plenty of room for docking. The dock is in very good shape and I did not need to use the extra bumpers I'd brought. The canal is nice, deep and wide. We saw manatees on multiple occasions as we were pulling in. The nearby area in Key Colony Beach is very nicely maintained. We enjoyed walking in the mornings and visiting the sunset park. Our teenagers enjoyed walking and getting pizza at the nearby shops. I would definitely rent this house again.

The house was very clean and plenty of room for 8. The dock was perfect and the location to access the Gulf and Atlantic was perfect!! We Highly recommend this property!

Home was well kept, clean, and nicely decorated. Excellent outdoor area with pool, patio, and deck overlooking the water. Highly recommend this home. The checkout requirement of leaving no more than two loads of laundry when checking out seemed petty, especially given that we also pay a cleaning fee.

Large rooms for sleeping, pool (nice but needs repainting), dock on the canal, laundry room, ice machine. Quiet home and neighborhood, easy access to Marathon. Overall we had a great vacation and would rent this home again.
