Perfect Stay!

The beach house is the perfect location to explore all that the Keys has to offer, which is A LOT! Melynda was wonderful as a host and offered some great local food suggestions. This is a gem of a spot and left the right kind of memories for me to look forward to a future visit :-)

Great home with an exceptional owner!

The home was great - exactly what we were looking for. The amenities were outstanding and the owner was excellent! She was very accommodating considering the unanticipated wildfires in the area. I would stay there again.

Great location and very clean and well-equipped property.

It was great fun, great location and Melynda was a very helpful host. We rented a boat and it was a perfect setup where we could dock the boat at the property. There were 5 of us and our whole family really enjoyed our stay.
