This is probably the nicest vacation rental property we have ever stayed at. The privacy and amenities were amazing and 180 degree access to the water and water views. Great location, very easy drive to the Miami airport and exploring the keys. Simply magical

It's Amazing. It's where old Florida meets modern convenience. The Sunrises and Sunsets are fantastic, Everything you need is there. Appliances, Cookware,Everything. There were Sixteen of us in our Family. Plenty of room and very comfortable. Our Nine year olds fished all day every day and most of the nights. We watched Dolphin swim by in the early evenings. We Kayaked every day. And mostly we just hung out. It was awesome.

Nice, relaxing place to stay.

Owner charged two k additional on top of my twenty three thous stay site fee for a for 1 broken chair!!! We had purchased tons of food and condiments for our one week stay, and we knew we had to clean the place up so we disposed of all the food and half used condiments in the fridge. If there were Half used condiments left over and we would’ve known about it we would’ve thrown them away anyways I think that’s probably against code with Covid going around who wants to use somebody else’s half used condiments so yes if there was some of those in the fridge we threw those away. We got married on Thursday night the trash doesn’t come till Monday so unfortunately there was not enough cans to put the trash in and unfortunately it Has to sit out there until the trash people come by unless a special pick up is ordered. We eat exotic food all over the country all the time and I’ve never been told that they won’t pick it up we eat that stuff all the time at our own houses and have never had a trash company say that they’re not pick that up? So . Sorry that it might’ve had a smell. The cigarette butts in the trash bags came from our guest that we told not to put cigarette butts on the ground so unfortunately they probably took them and put them into the trash bags and that’s probably where the smell came from but I can promise on my kids lives that we did not smoke in the house or let any of the guest smoke in the houses!! Drunk guest? Well I would hope that some of the guest had a good time it is a wedding that we spent over twenty k just in the rental house and the site fee. I am very sorry that one of the guest stumbled and broke the cactus. I also apologize for the back 2 inch section of the chair legs being broken, which my wife and I were not aware of. My wife said if there was a burnt smell in the main house it’s because she accidentally burnt a huge pot of rice in one of the pots we brought with us and said that it stunk real bad and she stuck it outside to get rid of the smell which I have a picture of that. But its definitely not from smoking inside the house. We had kids in the house with us and my 76-year-old mother that has emphysema and oxygen. Sorry that we might’ve accidentally spilled a couple small pieces of cake during the ceremony. I would imagine we aren’t the only wedding that had ever spilled a small amount of the wedding cake or icing

We had a great time at the property. It is in a terrific location, lots of history featured for us to learn and enjoy, and the gardens are amazing. Lots of hammock time! The property managers were so helpful and easy to communicate with, but we really didn’t need much - the house was well equipped and comfortable.

Great location close to everything. We did spend the first day cleaning the house and all the trash on the shoreline, but after that everything went great. Will definitely consider staying again the next time we are in the Miami area.

Ideal property for family reunions. We were a party of 14; 2 grandparents, 5 adults and 7 grandchildren. Kids loved fishing off the dock and kayaking. Adults enjoyed evening “sundowners”. Dolphin Experience was a treat as was discover scuba and shallow dive. Everyone enjoyed a day on the water in a 24 ft deck boat. Not a dull moment but plenty of time to relax and enjoys the beautiful gardens surrounding the house and cottage.

Amazing property with beautiful gardens

Our family of 12 very much enjoyed our stay at historic shadow point! When booking a property with so much history, it is understood that you are going to encounter some aspects of the property that could use some touching up. This home is all about the outside! The landscaping, hammocks, kayaks, beach and swings make for a fun day outside. The two homes are dated and have their pros and cons. We had an issue with the shower heads and the owner responded instantly with a phone call and sent a plumber the next day! Overall, this property is truly a home with lots of character and it shows how much love and care has been put into it over the years. If you are ok with that type of home this is a perfect home for you! If your looking for perfectly sparkling floors, a central air system and squeak free floor boards this may not be your cup of tea. Thank you for a great stay shadow point!
