Maria was a perfect host! She greeted us and was always available for questions. The fruit and bottle of wine were pleasant gifts. The house was perfectly cleaned and stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming, and kayaking. We had the pleasure of enjoying three manatees who spent approximately one hour with us! We also enjoyed catching shrimp and fishing off the dock at night! The dock is well lit and perfect for night time fishing. This was our forth year in the keys and our most enjoyable vacation so far. Thank you Maria and Mike for sharing your piece of paradise with us! We hope to be back again!

We enjoyed our two weeks at Meagan’s Beach House in 2014 so much that we vowed to make the long journey from the UK again. Planning for our four week visit started a full year in advance and we had invested significant funds and emotion in the project when Irma came on the scene to threaten our dream of returning. It was welcome news when Maria contacted us two weeks after Irma struck to let us know that the property had survived with only minor damage that was already being repaired. We were determined to get to Key Largo to support the Keys folk. Fortunately the Keys reopened to tourists before we flew. On arrival at The Beach House it was just as clean and tidy as when we left it in 2014 and we could detect very little impact of the hurricane. This is the cleanest, best maintained rental property we have ever stayed in and the owners Maria and Mike the warmest of hosts. The owners clearly love the property, using it themselves when they can, and that love shows in the way the house is presented and equipped. The delightful Beach House theme is consistently applied from the front gate to the end of the dock. As in 2014, the wildlife seen from the verandah overlooking the sea was a highlight for us. We saw ospreys, pelicans, belted kingfisher, herons, egrets and cormorants fishing (successfully) most days. Dolphin fins and manatee snouts were seen a few times just off the end of the dock where at night the mangrove snappers put on predatory displays chasing small fish and shrimp whilst cleaning up anything we threw in for them. By the time we arrived the tourist industry of Key Largo was back in action just six weeks after the hurricane passed through. Snorkelling and scuba boats were operating as was the glass bottom boat near Holiday Inn. We enjoyed swimming at Jacobs Aquatic Center. Restaurants next to US1 and bayside were back to normal serving delicious fresh fish. The Fish House, Snooks, Conch House and Mrs Mac’s Kitchen (breakfast) were all worth multiple visits. The Atlantic side was impacted by the storm surge and a couple of our favourites were badly damaged, but Snappers had reopened on a limited scale with a smaller Irmageddon menu restricted to popular items that they could produce to an excellent standard in a temporary kitchen. Overall we found the Keys to be battered but not cowed and recovering rapidly. Meagan’s Beach House remains our #1 choice of a place to stay in the Keys and we recommend it highly.

The property is clean, has really everything you need, and in a beautiful spot. Maria could not have been more gracious. The two bedrooms were perfectly set up with comfortable linens and more towels than you could use! The pull out sofa was great if you wanted an extra bed. There were all of those 'extras' that made this an easy place to stay - paper towels, garbage bags, dish soap - so you didn't have to purchase everything for a short visit. Maria left us a list of recommended restaurants and things to do - and her recommendations perfectly suited us. If you plan to visit the upper Keys, I recommend Meaghan's Beach Cottage!!!!

Maria literally has thought of every little detail to make her home feel like ours! We just returned from our month stay in Meagan's Beach House and it definitely surprises us every year. Mike and Maria are quick and attentive to our needs and extremely helpful. They even helped us launch, moor and secure our boat to our private dock. They answered every phone call and question within minutes. They share important information and recommendations for fishing, restaurants shopping etc. Wow, I truly missed the gorgeous views! Being able to sit on the porch and watch our grandkids play on the beach was just amazing. We encountered manatees, dolphins, tarpons and different birds. My son and daughters enjoyed paddle boarding, snorkeling and fishing from the dock which extends out into the bay making you feel like you're in the middle of paradise. We enjoyed a glass of wine while our grandkids counted stars. We cooked fish that our grandkids caught from the bay. Can't get any better than this! The amenities are outstanding. It has a wonderful gas grill just steps from the water, a well stocked kitchen, nice towels and linens. Just too many to list. The entire property inside and out is very clean and secure. The community is quiet and laid back. We have made beautiful memories at our home away from home. My family can't thank you enough Maria and Mike for being so gracious and caring. See you soon!

My family and I just concluded a stay at Meagan's Beach House and it was nothing short of spectacular! Maria is prompt, extremely responsive, attentive, thoughtful, and extremely accommodating. The place is immaculate, cute and quaint. Such a lovely place for a family vacation. The only issue had nothing to do with Maria or her property...in fact, her response makes this property even that much better. The neighbors are currently building a house and Maria called me before we rented to tell me about the noise (which was not bad at all) and to be very upfront about the situation. Her transparency was admirable, much appreciated, and one of the many reason we had an outstanding time. We would rent here again without a doubt! Maria, thank you for such a lovely time!

My family and I just spent 6 glorious days at this beach house. This is by far the nicest VRBO we have ever rented. Maria and Miguel were wonderful with communication and even responded to our questions while they were on their own Christmas vacation. Being welcomed with a bottle of wine and chocolates was a fun surprise!! This house has everything you will need for a Comfortable and lovely stay. We had 6 in our group and there was plenty of room and privacy. The deck was absolutely perfect for dinnner outside every night, we barbecued fresh fish and sat outside most nights as we could not get enough of the gorgeous views. We ate out once at the Fish House , which was excellent as well. The grocery shopping is close and convenient and the kitchen is perfect for all your cooking needs. My kids, hubby and I loved the canoe and paddle boards as well. We explored the various canals , siteseeing the beautiful homes and boats. We drove to Key West two times and it is a beautiful drive. The town has a lot to see so be sure and spend some time there. We did a sunset cruise on the sail boat "Hindu"..... I highly recommend it! Also don't miss the Bahia Honda State park. It is breathtaking!! I am very happy we choose this Beach house , it is always hard just picking something off the Internet and looking at photos. This house is more beautiful than you can imagine! The location couldn't be more perfect! We were sad to leave....We hope to return again though. Thank you Maria and Miguel for a wonderful, memory making stay!

My husband and I spent 5 nights at Meagan's Beach house. We had a wonderful time. Miguel and Maria are wonderful, kind and responsive. The house is perfect. It's decorated in a gorgeous Key's style. We could not get over how lovely it was, not to mention immaculate. The view is gorgeous, and make sure to check out the dock at night. We even cooked a couple of nights, the kitchen is better equipped than mine! Bought fresh fish at the Fish House, so good. We look forward to renting this property again

Miguel & Maria, Thank you so much for sharing your home. The fruit basket and bottle of wine on arrival was a thoughtful touch. The house is fully equipped with all the kitchen appliances and gadgets you could ever use as well as the latest in electronics. The interior & exterior were spotless clean. The rear covered deck was the perfect place to sit and watch the clouds, birds, boats, and waves go by with a cold beer, or drink in hand, of course. We had a wonderful week as Key Largo has much to see and do as well as the history of the Keys to explore. Lots of good restaurants locally as well as all the local Brew Pubs. It was fun tasting all the local brews. Also convenient was having the John Pennekamp State Park virtually across the street.. The snorkeling at the off-shore reefs was terrific. Watching the 2-3 foot Tarpon swimming around in the lights, at the end of your dock, after dark was also a treat. All and all, we had the perfect time, with nothing but praise for you and Miguel, and your "Piece of Heaven". Thanks.

Meagan's Beach House is an extremely well appointed and impeccably well kept and clean home. While there are many homes in the neighborhood the home and property is laid out to make you feel like you are far from anyone. Very convenient to all local attractions or sit on the porch and stare at the beautiful bay. I would definitely stay here again.

Meagan's Beach House is exactly as you see on their website...inviting, relaxing, loved the beach theme and was completely furnished with anything that you would need. Groceries were the only things required; shopping and sightseeing nearby and easily accessible. So enjoyed sitting on the covered deck or chairs out on the dock. Hint: always take your camera with you while walking the dock with morning coffee (or anytime). We saw fish, stingray and manatees. We would highly recommend spending time at Meagan's Beach House as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Maria & Miguel!

Megan's Beach House, simply put, is perfect. The house is immaculate and everything that you would need is there for you. We stopped at a grocery store to get perishable items and that was it! The views at sunset are picture perfect. It's a very quiet area and so relaxing. I hope to return again because I don't have anything but compliments to give. Thanks Maria and Miguel for opening your home so others can enjoy too. :)

Thank you Miguel & Maria for opening your wonderful home for rent. We haven't been that relaxed in a very long time and we wanted to let everyone know, don't hesitate to rent this adorable home, you will not be disappointed! Location, amenities, fully stocked for any cooking, dock, view, everything was pristine! Thanks again! See you soon!

The Beach House theme is consistently applied to this property from the front gate to the end of the dock creating a wonderful holiday atmosphere. We found the Beach House clean and comfortable and it couldn’t be more fully equipped. The photos on the HomeAway web site reflect what we found in real life. The neighbourhood is quiet, yet close to shops and a good range of food outlets. The view from the back of the house is outstanding – plenty of passing boats to watch but not so close as to be intrusive. Sitting in the comfort of the verandah at the rear overlooking Blackwater Sound we were able to watch ospreys, kingfishers and pelicans fishing and we were visited by herons most days. From the dock we fed the fish (they seemed to like left over rice from the local Thai restaurant as well as bread and chopped shrimp) and saw a small stingray, tarpon and other smaller species, but the highlight was the group of seven manatees which swam in one calm evening, checked us out, decided we were harmless but not as interesting as the sea grass, so they just carried on feeding just a few feet from us. The manatees stayed for over an hour which was such a treat. From the Beach House it was easily possible to visit the Everglades and other wildlife sites in the Upper and Middle Keys. The snorkelling was good using the local dive company and we swam with barracuda and many other colourful fishes. We are saving up for a return visit.

This is the 2nd year we have stayed here for 2 weeks. Miguel and Maria were there to greet us upon arrival. FYI, if you have any problems or questions during your stay, they are quick to respond. There were several upgrades since last year. A totally renovated master bathroom with tile shower. The master bedroom has a brand new king size bed. The kitchen has a brand new refrigerator. Clearly the owners care about their beautiful home. We love it for so many reasons because everything is included! The house is clean, all linens and towels included. A really well stocked kitchen. Gorgeous, water views from nearly every room. We enjoyed sitting and reading in the backyard beach area, watching sunsets and manatees from the dock, and eating outside on the porch. Just come and be ready to get relaxed and lose track of the days! One particular day, we saw the most beautiful rainbow over the bay! Our favorite happy hour restaurant is Snook's Bayside and Lorelei, (Islamorada). Our favorite restaurants are Snappers, Sundowners, Fishhouse, and Buzzards Roost. We bought and cooked fresh Hogfish, Stone Crabs, Yellowtail Snapper, and Shrimp from Key Largo Fisheries, who also serve lunch outside at a marina. We will definitely be back next year.

We arrived at our destination after a very busy and hot trip to Orlando with our four children. It's the sort of place that when you step into the beach house, your shoulders drop, you breathe a big sigh of relief and feel a very warm welcome enfold you. The house is beautifully decorated in a beachside relaxed way, beds are comfortable, it is immaculate, and you cant wait to kick off your shoes and step out onto the boardwalk to watch the sunset. There are supermarkets and amazing fish restaurants a few minutes drive away. The sea is like a bath and the children, when they got over their fear of some weeds in the sea, spent all their time snorkelling and looking for fish. We would love to come back and would definitely recommend a visit to any of our friends and family.

Lovely and comfortable home with magnificent sunrise, sunsets. The owners took magnificent care of the property, and the property is spotless. Our family stayed at Meagan's Beach house two consecutive summers and we made memories to revisit over and over again.

My wife and myself spent a lovely week here that went far too fast. Mike and Maria were waiting for us when we arrived and made sure we knew how everything worked before they left. The photos of this house do not do it justice. The house was spotless and the kitchen very well stocked. In fact we did not eat out once here as we wanted to spend as much time enjoying the beautiful view as possible. The underwater lighting was magical and we saw lots of different fish, crabs, dolphins, small sharks and even manatees from a distance. The kayak was great fun also. We hope to return one day and would definitely recommend this holiday home.

My family & I absolutely LOVED our recent 2 week stay here, I absolutely agree with the other reviewers on everything but especially the cleanliness, the "Coastal Living" décor, & the amazing dock with the underwater lights after dark. It was like living atop an aquarium....even iguanas & sting rays ,with manatee & a Bonnethead Shark, So fun to watch the huge Tarpon catch the occasional shrimp for a tasty snack! Maria & Mike welcomed us warmly with wine,a fruit basket & many good recommendations for the area. We will definitely be back!

Meagan's Beach House..... just a relaxing piece of paradise! My husband and I stayed here for our 10th year wedding anniversary. Wow, what an amazing surprise! This lovely home is exceptionally clean and decorated beautifully with personal and warm touches. My husband and I enjoyed both the interior as well as exterior areas of the home. We started our mornings having our coffee while enjoying the sunrises from the porch and dock. We used the canoe every day to explore the bay, learned how to paddle board, parasailed, fished and did the best snorkeling right under the dock. We saw tarpons, mangrove snappers, rays, crabs and shrimps. There are also under dock lights that turn on at dusk and attract a myriad of fish. So peaceful and quiet, perfect spot for star gazing! In the early evenings, we were ready with our delectable glass of wine enjoying the incredible sunsets. The interior of the home has lots to offer too! The bedrooms have comfortable beds/pillows with nice bedding and linens. The bathrooms are immaculately clean with nice beach and regular towels.The kitchen is well stocked with dining sets, pots and pans and all types of gadgets. The dining room has a table for 4 as well as counter dining for 3. The family room has comfortable sofas and large sliding glass doors to enjoy the bay view. This house is in a quiet and clean neighborhood with no traffic. It was a very smooth transition from inquiring in Homeaway to reserving the property. We were welcomed by the owners Mike and Maria, extremely nice couple! They greeted us with our favorite wine and a fruit basket. They were very informative about the area, restaurants, attractions and on site activities. Great seafood restaurants, Fish House and Snook's Bayside were our favorite. My husband and I would highly recommend this home and Key Largo to relatives, friends, couples and families with children. Meagan's Beach House provides all the amenities any traveler could hope for. We are definitely visiting again!

Our stay at Meagan's Beach House last month was incredible. Mike and Maria welcomed us at the house with a bottle of wine and some goodies to enjoy during our stay. They were extremely helpful with making recommendations dining and local area attractions. The house is immaculate and provided my family of 4 plenty of room to enjoy. I highly recommend staying at Meagan's Beach House for your next trip!

Lovely beach house with the best views in Key Largo. Clean and comfortable, the owners are communicative and go to great lengths to ensure your stay is perfect. Walking distance to an excellent Thai restaurant, and a short drive to Publix and a great choice of other restaurants. I would recommend Meagan's Beach House unreservedly.

This place is the greatest. We were the for two weeks and were sad to leave. The pictures on homeaway.com are great but in real life it is even better. Mike and Maria are great people and really helped to make our stay wonderfull. We saw lots of wildlife (Manatee at the dock stingrays horseshoecrabs lots of bird pelicans etc). I can really recommend this place to everyone. We hope to come back one day to enjoy it again Thanks for a great stay Best regards Dennis and Eveline (the Netherlands)
