Well worth the visit

This location was well worth the visit. Location is nice - close to what you need, but just on the edge, far enough away to feel like in another world. Inside well decorated, good views of the Atlantic Ocean and has a boat slip for you to take advantage of some great fishing ! Would have no issue recommending this place to just a few friends.

Islemorada Oasis!

This property was great! Exceptionally clean and updated. The facilities were perfect for relaxing. We were able to enjoy fishing, jet skiing and local cuisine in town and it was an easy trip to Key West due to it's central location. We will definitely rent this property again.

Amazing Stay!

We’ve been coming to the Keys for decades and this was by far our favorite condo we’ve ever rented. It’s big, comfortable, has literally everything you could need and more for a fun time. It was clean, furnished exactly like the pictures. Bay Harbour is also a wonderful, quiet, friendly community with great amenities. Jonelle was EXTREMELY responsive, helpful, kind and made our stay even more amazing. We are booking for next year already and cannot wait.

Beautiful condo and great complex!

Our family of 4 stayed here and the condo is beautiful and comfortable (just like in the pictures). We had friends staying in other condos at the same complex and this one was by far the nicest! Updated with a beachy feel. The complex is also very well maintained, felt safe and the kids spent a lot of time in the pool and fishing off the private docks. Our friends rented boats and you can't beat having your own dock on the premises. I would definitely stay here again!

Everything as Advertised

What a beautifully appointed condo! Having a dock for our boat was very nice. The only thing I wish I had known in advance was that we would need to find a marina to launch and store our boat trailer. The pool area includes a hot tub, we also used the fitness center and pickleball courts.

Just Friends So True

I, my wife, my son, and daughter-in-law stayed at this wonderful condo. It was clean and very well stocked. We felt like it was home away from home. There was nothing we needed that it didn't have. We loved the screened in patio and spent a lot of time sitting, talking, and listening to good music. We hope to be able to stay there again soon.

Bay Harbour 2024

Wonderful condo in quiet community. Kitchen very well stocked as we cooked in a lot, even spices. Definitely will want a car for this location to head into Islamarada for restaurants. There is a fish market in walking distance, we picked up so fresh Grouper to prepare at the condo. Comfortable beds as room to spread out as we had a couple stormy days.

Perfect Condo For a Perfect Week

This condo is absolutely perfect in every way. The booking process and communication with the property manager was easy and she went above and beyond to guide us through the check in procedure. The condo is located central to all of the things you want to see in Islamorada. The furnishings are gorgeous, everything is clean (the cleanest condo we have ever rented) and the bedding was so comfortable. We spent countless hours on the balcony enjoying the view of the water and the island breezes. We didn’t try the pool on this visit but it looked amazing. This was a wonderful vacation and we want to thank Jonelle for being so incredible!

Fabulous keys condo

Everything was great at condo. Perfect for two couples with both bedrooms having on suite bathrooms and a 1/2 bath in main area. Beds and living area furniture was very comfortable. We used gym every day and Bob the office person was a really nice guy. Pool and hot tub warm and clean. We used gas grills to make dinner a couple of times that were in front of gym by the pool. Jonelle was great to deal with. Perfect 8 night vacation.

A little bit of paradise

Everything about our stay was amazing. The rental was beautiful and decorated with that perfect coastal vibe. Bob the property manager was great and such a help answering all our questions. Our view overlooked the canal and also had a great view of the ocean. There were manatees in the canal and it was so neat to watch them. I can't say enough good things. Janelle with Blue 9 realty was also great. We chose to extend our stay and she made the process super easy. We will definitely be coming back.

One Word ...WOW!

Our stay at "Just a Few Friends" was relaxing, comfortable, clean, convenient, and full of memories we will cherish for a lifetime. This is a perfect place for a fun getaway. The rooms are comfortable, spacious, and beautifully decorated to give you that perfect island vibe. There are two bathrooms and a half bath which was so great to have when everyone needed their time after a jam packed day out on the water. Of course, the living space where we ate on the patio every night was the BEST! It is in a great location to access any part of the keys and our favorite part was watching the manatees come visit every day and night in the marina area. If you plan on parking a boat in there be very, very careful! The manatees LOVE chilling in there, so keep slow and keep an eye out at all times for these magnificent and gentle animals. Blue 9 Realty was so wonderful, and it was super easy communicating with them about the property. It was the perfect, comfy, get away to enjoy a family trip!

Perfect location

This rental was perfect for us. We brought our own boat and found a place to store the trailer, which also gave us access to the boat ramp in the canal. Our boat was docked right outside, within sight from the room. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Restaurants, grocery store, and bait shops were all within a short distance. Captain Ken was helpful in allowing us to keep our boat trailer on his property and the bait store right next door was friendly and helpful as well. It could not have been more perfect for us. We didn't use the pool, but it was warm and well-maintained. Grounds were beautiful and everyone we saw was very friendly. Having ice at the office for purchase and a fish cleaning station was very convenient and saved us a ton of time! The room was plenty big enough for the 4 of us and was spacious and clean. 5 stars for sure!

Amazing Vacation!

This property was excellent! Everything was just like in the pictures. It was great being in driving range of all the keys being right in the middle. I wish there were some beach chairs and/or an umbrella available to use but really it was a beautiful, well maintained place that was perfect to spend our time at.

If you visit Islamorada, it’s all about being on the water. We brought our boat and it was very convenient to have a boat slip on the property. The condo was very nice and so was the on-site pool. Underground parking was a plus.
