Why they chose this property

Fish Camp offers the rare combination of affordability, space, and standout amenities in the heart of the Florida Keys. Designed for families, friends, and fishing enthusiasts, this property is perfect for those who want room to relax and play—without sacrificing comfort or privacy.

Whether you're planning a reunion, group vacation, or fishing trip, Fish Camp provides ample space, indoor/outdoor living, and waterfront access at a value that’s hard to match.

What makes this property unique

Fish Camp delivers the ultimate Keys experience with a mix of comfort, character, and convenience that’s hard to find anywhere else.

At the heart of the property is a massive Tiki hut by the sparkling saltwater pool, equipped with an outdoor TV, fridge, dining table, and a commercial ice maker—perfect for poolside entertaining. Nearby, you’ll find a bait freezer, grill, and even a shaded hammock for lazy afternoons.

Located at the very end of an ocean canal, the home boasts a rare level of privacy and seclusion, fully enclosed by a wood fence with two vehicle gates. The 80+ ft deep-water dock includes five boat slips, lights, water access, and a fish cleaning station, plus a canal entry ideal for launching kayaks or paddleboards (bring your own or rent nearby). It’s an angler’s dream and a boater’s paradise.

The interior features five spacious bedrooms with king and queen memory foam beds, elevated coastal design, and separate upstairs/downstairs living—each with its own washer/dryer for convenience and privacy. A sixth private suite will be ready in December 2025.
