We have rented many houses but Casa Aqua is certainly the best! Every amenity was provided and then some. The house was gorgeous as was the landscaping. The kids lived in the huge pool and adults in the hot tub. The nature walk was also fun for all. We loved our stay and Debra made sure we were well taken care of. Much thanks for a wonderful vacation stay!

The host was wonderful and greeted us upon arrival. I e-mailed before going with many questions and she answered immediately. We enjoyed the kayaks and the swings on the dock were great! I wish we could have stayed longer! Just an FYI...pack bug spray as many people in our party were eaten alive by the bugs!

We chose this property largely because it advertised a heated pool. Unfortunately, while the pool heat worked for the first few days, it stopped working for the remainder of our stay and was never repaired while we were there. We notified the owner immediately, and although we were told a vendor was contacted, the issue was not resolved during our visit. Since the heated pool was a major factor in why we booked the property, this significantly impacted our stay.In addition, the house itself did not feel very well maintained. The furnishings were outdated and quite worn, and the house was not as clean as we expected upon arrival.The location is good, but overall the experience did not meet our expectations, especially given that a key advertised amenity was unavailable for most of the trip. Future guests should be aware that if something important stops working during their stay, it may not be fixed while they are there.

Wish I could give more stars for the location!

The view from this house is enough but on top of that there's the pool, the hot tub, the kayak entry, the mangroves, the palm trees, the dock, the huge covered porch, and the sunsets. And then there's the spacious house. Add to that a property manager who goes above and beyond, even in the middle of the holidays, and there you have the perfect stay. Spent a week here with family and friends and found it VERY hard to leave on the last day.

Great location with beautiful views

Very spacious home, awesome air conditioning, amazing landscaping, very private. For the price, the house was a little outdated, had a lot of rules and normal upkeep on some appliances was not done (refrigerators needed to be defrosted, main kitchen refrigerator ice maker did not work, broken chairs on dock, wifi speaker did not work or even have correct charging cable). These are minor issues that could be taken care of with a little TLC. The property manager, Debra, was extremely helpful.

Exceptional and very responsive host. The house had everything we needed for a great vacation for two families. Highlights included the hot tub and kayaks. In the water, we saw jelly fish, small sharks, lots of fish, lobsters and lots of birds. Easy access to Key West, a variety of restaurants and ample outdoor activities. Would definitely stay again!

Casa Aqua Experience

Deb (Property Manager) was great to work with. She was extremely friendly and very communicative during our stay. This home is amazing. We didn't have a single complaint about the property. It is beautiful, and comfortably slept 10 people inside the main house. The kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary items to cook for 10 people, and the entire house is designed to make it perfect for large groups. The dining room table is absolutely amazing, and I cannot begin to even express how nice it is to sit out by the pool and enjoy a sunset. Amazing experience and I would highly recommend to others.

Nothing short of amazing!

Casa Aqua was a dream! The home seems very large from the images. While it’s quite spacious, it’s also homey and very comfortable. We had a group of 11. We also rented the guest house. The beds were 100% the most comfortable beds in my 50 years on the planet. The home is so well appointed. The pool was perfect. We could not have been more pleased. Our son, who was married during our visit was staying on Sugarloaf Key, came over with the bridal party every night to swim. Casa Aqua had everyone’s heart!

Keys escape

Exterior amenities, pool, dock, kayaks were all great. We spent the entire trip either in the pool or on the dock, when we weren’t out on an adventure. Fishing from the dock with the kids was a real highlight. Before I share issues, let me say overall it was a great trip. Issues: Hot tub was over chlorinated, my son developed a rash. Pool was fine where the grand kids were all week. AC in the tower bedroom rattled all night long. Luckily we had earplugs so we could rest. Cleaning crew was obviously rushed on a short turnover. Some beds had to be remade, but there were fresh sheets, so no big deal. Interior was nice, but doesn’t quite live up to the grandeur the photos suggest. Number of bathrooms for the occupancy was tight. Master bedroom has two queens and a day bed, so daughter and son n law with three kids stayed there. The master in the tower had no dressers or drawers for clothes and a very small closet. Bathroom and shower were very sub par. Would probably not return if other options available.

About the host

Hosted by Debra Farrell, Professional Residential Manager

Host profile image
I have lived in the Lower Keys for the past 25 years and have been the property manager for this fabulous property for the last 18 years and watched its continual updates and transformations in keeping with the current trends and listening to the guests suggestions for making Casa Aqua a better vacation experience. I thoroughly enjoy checking guests in and seeing the "WOW" on their face.

Why they chose this property

Casa Aqua is located in a remote area of the lower Florida Keys surrounded by the Keys natural environment with nature trails and situated on the open water of the Atlantic Ocean for breathtaking views. There is dockage for your boat and Cutthroat Harbor is somewhat shallow making it the perfect depth for kayaking or paddleboarding and close to the reef for the best snorkeling in the United States. At Mile Marker 22, it is only a short ride to Key West for nightly entertainment and the largest selection of restaurants and bars.
