Great home for our wedding excursion with mini vaca! Jose the owner was very accommodating. The using is setup for anything you could need and the owners think of everything! I will be renting from these owners again as they helped make our vacation enjoyable. This property is great for families- the pool is close and the beach area offers good snorkeling. Upgrades to the property make it feels like home (better than home in some ways- master shower was very refreshing). Highly recommend this property for your Keys trip

Despite this being a rental, we truly were made to feel like guests of the owners, Jose and Marcia, with every little need taken care of. The home is tastefully decorated, with a spectacular shower in the upstairs bathroom. The Executive Bay Club is a gated community, which gives a feeling of security. The other residents are friendly and helpful and it is only a short walk to the pool and beach, as well as Founders' Park, with their walking/jogging paths, beach, and pool. The location is ideal, just a short drive to the supermarket and great restaurants. We really felt like we could just stay at this location, but did venture out most days to explore the Keys. We went to Bahia Honda Beach twice, about an hour away. This is a state park, with wonderful beaches on both the bay and ocean side. There is an admission fee charged, but well worth it for facilities available. We also discovered a gem of a beach, Sombrero Beach in Marathon, just a little closer than Bahia Honda. This beach was not as large, but was nicely maintained, with rest rooms, picnic tables, and a playground, and it was free. A full day was needed for our excursion to Key West, but well worth the trip. Be sure to visit the Butterfly Gardens and Hemingway House. We did check the schedule of cruise ships entering the port and chose a day when only one was coming in. There were also some good attractions in the area for days when you are tired of the beach. Check out the wild bird sanctuary and the diving museum, each only a short drive away. There are some really good restaurants in the area, but we soon settled on two favorites, Harriet's and Bob's Bunz, for breakfasts. Each of these has its own special pastry, the first wonderful muffins and the latter tasty large cinnamon buns. For dinner, our hands down favorite was Marker 88. We ate there several times and were never disappointed. Of course, we also did a good deal of cooking at home, both on the grill and the full-sized smooth top range. The dining table could easily seat a crowd, but we preferred eating on the semi-secluded patio whenever possible. Like all of the townhouses in the area, this unit does have a spiral staircase. Though this looks intimidating at first, we soon adapted to going up and down quickly, so if you are physically able to climb stairs, this should not be an impediment. One word of advice: unpack and store your suitcase downstairs. All in all, this was a wonderful rental at a good price.

We enjoyed our stay in Jose and Marcia's condo very much. EVERYTHING is provided. They really have thought of odds and ends that a guest might want in the kitchen. The shower upstairs is terrific and my husband commented on the comfort of the large king size bed in the master bedroom. This is a man who ALWAYS complains about beds, but he loved this one and slept very well. Everything was well maintained and easy to find. My twin 15 year old daughters loved their room and spend a lot of time there. There is a binder that details things about the condo, the condo community, and the larger community, including activities and dining options. We enjoyed the Grullon's suggestions, although we spend most of our time doing activities with friends who live in Tavernier. Even when we weren't out and about doing scheduled activities, we walked down to the dock and enjoyed watching the birds and boats. The neighbors in the community were very friendly, and we enjoyed watching the young kids play in the community pool I think we enjoyed Islamorada MORE because we stayed in a place that was so easy and comfortable. We had discussed driving down to Key West, but discovered we had more than enough to keep us busy locally.

We really enjoyed our stay! The townhouse was very clean and comfortable. The newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms were a plus and we found everything we needed. The owners provided lots of extras that you don't normally find. Our kids loved the pool and fishing from the docks. We saw lobsters, stingrays and a variety of fish, and one night two dolphins, chasing fish swam right up to the dock and played for a while - very exciting! The townhouse is close to town with shops and restaurants - very convenient. Thank you for a wonderful week!

The condo was great. The owner Jose and his wife were very accomodating to us making sure we had everything we needed. The condo was fully stocked with essentials for a fun week including snorkeling gear of numerous sizes, boogie boards for kids and beach toys for kids. It was a good size and slept 6 (4 adults and 2 toddlers) very comfortable. It was updated nicely, kitchen and bathrooms were beautiful. The beach area outback was beautiful, just a minute walk from condo. Great snorkeling and fishing down there off the docks. We also rented a kayak for a couple of days which the kids loved. Beautiful sunset on that beach also. We would definitely stay again in the future.

We took a family trip to Isla Morada with my wife and three kids The condo was really equipped with all you need and more. We really enjoyed the amenities. We also enjoyed the marina every day early morning and at sun down fishing. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I would like to return again.

I had a great time with my son and buddy in this islamorada condo. Sleeps up to 7 but 5 are comfortable. I would stay here again. Spiral staircase was no problem as others suggest. owners are quite helpful!

Seriously, wow. This was a girls trip, and our first experience using homeaway, as well as first trip to the Keys. To start with the transaction - Jose is a pleasure to work with, with timely, personal responses. The home is his and his wife's, and the pride they take in their belongings and surroundings is evident. The home itself is located in a condo community on Islamorada. The house is jam packed with BEYOND anything a guest may need, want, or like to do. The kitchen is fully loaded (pots, pans, utensils, gadgets, etc and beyond), the pantry has some starters and plenty of household goods. The entire house is filled with linens, towels, beach gear, games, and all kinds of other incredibly thoughtful additions. The home is clean, well maintained, comfortable and a pleasure to stay in. The 2nd full bath is on the first floor, and both are extremely well equipped (rain showers!) Would absolutely recommend this rental. The property has a private beach (water access is a little rocky but there is a dock with ladder, plus a pair of water shoes are in the house) and also a beautiful pool. I would recommend anyone unfamiliar with the Keys do research on their unique beaches prior to visiting, but this rental, area, etc was a gem!

House was clean and well appointed to cook, sleep and relax. Lots of supplies to snorkel, swim, play and enjoy the keys. Tons of towels, which we needed. Plenty of sleep space. 2 showers were convenient after a day at the beach. Felt safe and away from any noisy groups. Very family friendly. Appliances all in great working condition. Owner is very good at communicating and taking care of needs. Caution, the small winding staircase that leads to all the bedrooms may be a challenge for elderly or very large people. No bedrooms on the 1st floor.

Owner was easy to work with and very helpful. The condo is located in a lovely gated community and the neighbors are all nice. The decor of the condo is tasteful and the kitchen living area are very comfortable. One big drawback not mentioned is the acces to upstairs bedrooms is only via a narrow spiral stairs. This is a real pain when trying to negotiate suitcases. The bedrooms share a bathroom, so not recommended for two couples but would be ok for a family. For some odd reason the larger of the two bedrooms has twin beds and the king bed is crammed into the smaller room leaving a very awkward access. Also the showers in both bathrooms are beautiful but have defective plumbing hardware. Aside from these inconveniences, this is a very nice rental.

I'm not one to post reviews. But when something is done right, you just have to say something. My wife is a high school principal and I'm a graphic designer in New England. We came down to Isla Morada for a break and found all that and then some. The owners of this property have gone to great lengths to make renters feel at home. There are personal touches throughout the unit. They keep extra sun hats, fishing poles, bikes, snorkeling equipment, a private bbq grill, a large portable cooler, strange books and stranger movies. We were never bored. We decided what to do each day based on what we found in the unit. As suggested, we stopped at the Win Dixie (a supermaket 10 mins en-route) on the way in and stocked up on the essentials. Great amenities on premises and there's a great little park next door called Founder's Park with a 2 mile walk/run path that circles the playing field and goes along the marina's edge. Plenty of space in the living/dining room area to spread out and play board games or watch TV if you have additional guests. Bedrooms are upstairs so kids can stay up all night downstairs without a care. The second bedroom is compartmentalized very nicely with 2 beds on one end, a work space with desk / computer / printer and essentials on the other end (with a nice divider to keep one from bothering the other). There are 2 extra beds in that room that are upstairs (on a 3rd level), perfect for the pair of teens that need "their own space." Master bedroom is exactly what a master bedroom should be. At night, I lost my wife a few times in the king size bed -had to swim over to find her on the other end. Small walk-in closet is a nice touch. Main shower was... well, just take a look at the picture. Water coming from every angle you can imagine. The place is very clean, very well maintained. The pantry had additional items that one normally forgets to grab (condiments, detergent, etc.). The owner even left a couple of locally brewed beers in the fridge to sample. I think we found our second home. My wife concurs. My wife NEVER concurs.

Terrific townhouse absolutely well equipped and even better than described on VRBO listing. Clean, well maintained, quiet and comfortable. Owners did everything humanly possible to provide appropriate information, recommendations for restaurants, etc. and made themselves available 24/7. Only downside- please be aware there is a very narrow circular stairway to bedrooms on 2nd floor. Renters need to know that and be willing and able to manage the stairway.

This place was recommended to us by friends. Yes, they were right. We had a terrific vacation experience. First, it is obvious that the owners take excellent care of their vacation home with all extra attention to detail, so many amenities, and higher quality everyday items (such as high-end spa shower, upscale kitchen, soft clean bedding, many beach towels, snorkeling gear, USB charging stations, and much more). Secondly, it is a place made for quiet, peaceful relaxation. We truly slept well. We needed that. Third, the community is well maintained and has everything (a sandy beach with great sunsets, nice heated pool, fishing dock, and more). The condo is in a very location - close to pool and beach. Finally, the community is surrounded by many good restaurants and plenty of Keys attractions. We will definitely pass this recommendation on to our friends.

I am not one to write a review by nature, however I thought it was important since I used them for our vacation. I had a struggle on where to stay for our vacation in the Keys. I decided on the EBC, and booked it. I showed my daughter who is 16 and she had other ideas…she was not happy with my decision. My daughter was going to be taking a friend who was also 16. I did have some conversations with Jose, who was more concerned about us having a good vacation than renting his house. Needless to say we settled on EBC. Imagine how I felt pulling in and then opening the door to our vacation. Let me stay with the girls… When they walked into this house, things changed as to how they felt about staying here. They were extremely happy. In fact, they loved that they had their own room and own beds with a TV. They loved the shower. They loved the space and accommodations, the TV and music. I asked them what they wanted me to say about the accommodations and they said it was perfect. As far as being perfect, the one thing they said liked best was the home cooked meal. We also managed that night to play cards and games which was great. The first thing to know is that the description of the condo/house is accurate. So I have nothing more to add here. I think this location is excellent. We were only a short distance from Key Largo and about 2 hours to Key West. The beach is nice at the EBC and Founders Park but unfortunately we had little time for these. We managed to swim with the dolphins, kayak, fish, parasail, snorkel and visit Key West. Also, this location has good restaurants close by and ones that will cook your fish if you happen to catch some. Which we did and dinner was excellent. This is the first time we tried something other than a resort or hotel and I would sum it all up by saying we are glad we did and will do it again. Thank you Jose and Marcia We enjoyed sharing your home away from home!

My family headed down to Islamorada to go scuba diving during our kids' spring break. I was SO HAPPY with this property! They had plenty of space for us to spread out and there wasn't a single thing we were lacking. Great kitchen supplies, a dvd player to enjoy a movie at the end of the night and peace and quiet throughout the evening. The kids and my husband did enjoy using the tennis rackets in the unit one afternoon, while I took a nap on a chair on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. It was also next to a really nice park where I went to run most mornings. Our hosts also left a binder full of information answering every question we could have had. We loved our visit and our home away from home! This is a perfect location for people looking for a quiet, peacefully place to rest your head.

Property was fair to good. Had a few window blinds that didn't work well. The front door lock is a pain and door needs re-hinged or adjusted? The spiral stair case is not something many people would want to navigate - and the only access to upstairs level. (children, elderly, disabled, etc.) Owner was friendly and helpful.

We enjoyed our week long stay and are not ready to go home! The Islamorada area was GREAT and not too far from the other Keys for day trips. The beach/pier onsite was awesome! Four manatees came to visit the pier everyday along with lots of other fish, etc. Both of our kids caught a nurse shark off the pier along with some snappers, etc. The sunsets are beautiful! All the beds were so comfortable and the upstairs bathroom is amazing! Our daughter loved the loft area in the bedroom. We had fun at Founders Park (beach, volleyball court, baseball fields) which is walking distance next door. The kids loved feeding the Tarpons at Robbies Marina. Our son was pretty brave and had his entire hand in one of the tarpons mouth. Bahia Honda State Park is beautiful with some good snorkeling. The wild bird center in Key Largo does some great things for the injured or no longer wanted birds. If you go, talk to Pickles and Fredrika the parrots - they're a hoot! There is also a pelican who was released back into the wild over 20 years ago and he decided to come back and follow all the workers around. We chartered a boat with a GREAT captain! You will be sure to come home with fish if you use him. The extended snorkeling tour at John Pennekamp State Park was great! The waters were crystal clear and we saw so many colorful and beautiful fish - paradise! We had some great food at the following restaurants: lobster/shrimp/crab cake sandwich at Bentleys, conch fritters up at the Conch House (Key Largo), conch fritters, pizza, salsa at Springers (Big Pine Key), fish reuben, shrimp burger, fish tacos and chocolate pie at Snappers (Key Largo), and Hobo's in Key Largo. We LOVED The Keys and cannot wait to come back.
