Time drifts by when you stay here. Great place for enjoying friends and family. Be sure to bring your boat; the dock is available just beside the porch. The locals on Big Pine Key are 👍 great.
The house was amazing as was the host .We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home .
The canal is crystal clear and the location is perfect for exploring or accessing great fishing and recreational areas.
It felt like home !
We needed a well located place in the keys and dock space for the boat. The place was easy to get to, centrally located between Marathon and West, with lots to see and do nearby. Amenities as advertised and owner is friendly and helpful. Incredible place to get into a relaxed mood and fish, paddle and see the Keys.

Thank you Gregg. It was a pleasure to host you and your family.
We stayed at this lovely home from December 9 thru Jan 6,2024. Great kitchen, and plenty of room for our family. Very nice outdoor space with excellent dock for our boat, and great fishing close by. Also had plenty of parking for our vehicles & boat trailer. Kathie is very helpful host, and even mailed some forgotten items after we left. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Ned & Linda.
We enjoyed hosting you as well.
We had a great time at Kathie's home. She was an awesome host, helping us with anything we needed and quickly responding when anything came up. The house is one of the few in the area with 5 BR to support a larger group. It was very clean and well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need for large or small meals. The screened porch is large and comfortable for enjoying canal view. The downstairs includes a nice sitting area and plenty of space to store your gear. There are multiple freezers and a fridge downstairs for bait, drinks, and storing your catch. The location provides quick access to the Atlantic for your larger boat and to the back country for small or flats boats. We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Kathie Rockett
I am a lifelong residence of the Florida Keys. I grew up in Marathon and moved to Big Pine Key to raise two wonderful boys. I built & designed our home in 2006 to withstand a 5 hurricane. We have lots of space and a grand room for entertaining. We hope you will enjoy our home as we always have!
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is very quiet beautiful neighborhood. The canal is very nice and the home comes with a 18ftx6ft Lily pad, a tandem Kayak and tandem Paddle Board. Lots of fun in the sun.... we also have a live well that can circulate from the canal on extremely hot days. This is located in Pine Channel Estates is a safe beautiful neighborhood in the top area of Big Pine Key, .
What makes this property unique
The home is very vibrant with color and a Keys atmosphere. It is private and quiet. Just a step down from the Kitchen is a gigantic grand room that will also sleep two more people. This room is large and spacious and is made just for a big crew! There are many unique art sculptures and pictures from world known Shark Week cameraman & artist Mark Rackley. These pieces along with many driftwood pieces from local artist & carpenters. are very unique and interesting. Our porch is set with 32 foot of pocketing sliders to open up the home even more on the cooler days we occasionally get in the winter This allows a wonderful fresh air cross current through the whole house. The front rooms & master bedroom have cathedral ceilings to give you that spacious feeling. The porch over looks our pristine canal which has a dock to hold up to a 38 ft boat. The rest of our 75 feet of water front is a beautiful landscaped walkway under the mangroves that will allow you to watch our Key West sunsets nightly.
