About this property

Christmas week just opened up! Open ocean, fishing, pool!

DIRECT OCEANFRONT, fully updated, ground floor, single-family Home; 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths. The home is all new and beautiful!! 50 feet of deepwater dockage with immediate access to the Ocean and Gulf and a gas dock right around the corner. Amazing views of the Atlantic and beyond. Now, with a pool just steps away from the ocean.



This carefree classic 'Keys' home is located in a very quiet, established neighborhood. There are no mobile homes, vacant lots, or trash of any kind anywhere near the home. Conveniently and centrally located with various food options, including the really good local fish market and restaurant within walking distance! 



The Lobster House has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and sleeps up to 8. The kitchen is completely furnished with everything you will need to cook your catch! There is a large covered patio overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, with a barbecue and plenty of seating for a crowd. The pool is just ten feet away from the ocean. 



Dock up to a 40 ft boat out your back door; water is 7 feet deep at the dock at low tide. Boat rentals are available just 3 mins away. Fishermen, we have it all! Bait freezer, cleaning table, and a grill to cook your catch! And the green light brings the fish in at night.

If you have any questions, just hit the "contact host" button, enter your dates, and it will be sent directly to me. Please feel free to contact me anytime, day or night. Looking forward to helping you book your amazing oceanfront vacation.



Pool heat or chill is available for $250 per week. You are welcome to arrange this in
advance. But if you're not sure, try it out when you get there and just let us know if
you would like us to turn the heater/chiller on.

The view is amazing. We saw manatees, turtles and tarpon daily. Plenty of room for docking your boat and a great pool. We were very sad to leave and will look forward to coming back.

Nice place on the water

We enjoyed our week at this house. We had great weather and really enjoyed being right on the water with lots of outdoor seating. Hot tub was also nice. We saw manatees and a dolphin but we didn’t swim much cause we also saw what we think was a good sized shark our first day. The neighborhood is nothing special and not a great area to go for walks with the busy road but the house was very nice. Lots of great restaurants in the area too!

Picturesque View

We all had an amazing stay here and never wanted to leave the house! We either cooked dinner at the house or brought back take out food while we appreciated the picturesque view from the deck. The pool was a perfect size for the kids and they played there for hours. Also, the owners have a paddle board and kayak available to use right off the dock! No need to rent kayaks or paddleboards. Also, the water was calm enough to paddle right near the house. We saw so much cool wildlife. It was like we were on our own private island. We saw manatees, a beautiful turtle and lizards just off the dock. Also, my son fished right off the dock. The owners let us use their fishing poles which was nice! The sunset was amazing and even at night, we were mesmerized by the full moon. Also, there were many places within walking distance from the house. In addition, there was a sidewalk nearby for running or walking. Also, there was a gym within a short driving distance that offered daily and weekly passes. There was even a Publix within a short distance from the house. There are many activities that are close by as well including kayaking, Sombrero Beach and the Dolphin Research Center. The owners are very easy to communicate with and responded quickly for any questions that we had. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend this house to others!

Perfect Location!

We had a wonderful stay! The dock was perfect for fishing, launching kayaks/paddle boards and just sitting with a drink watching the manatees and gorgeous sunsets! The deeper area in front of the dock was great for fishing/docking larger boats. Further out are shallow sea grass beds that were perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding without having to worry about boat traffic! The house was clean and had everything we needed for an awesome week in the Keys!

Great trip!

The listing represents the house well. It was extremely clean, which is greatly appreciated. Communication was fast and friendly. We enjoyed the dock, as many have mentioned. It was ample in size to keep our boat tied up and still offer a view. The wildlife was as hoped—a manatee visited on several occasions. The week flew by with all of the fun activities. I wish we could have stayed longer. The only thing to note, the paddleboard is not an EPS & fiberglass type. I guess it was a blow-up kind with a surface that left anything that touched it blue like a Smurf. We'd have chosen to bring one or two from home if we knew. This point is probably unimportant to most! Other than that, everything was perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and April Glosser

Host profile image
My husband grew up in the Keys on the water fishing and exploring. Our family has spent our vacations since and we've loved sharing this experience with our kids.

Why they chose this property

The moment we saw this property, we knew it was the one for us. I mean, the view!! And the marine life... our first time there, we saw french angelfish swimming at our feet and a pair of manatees visited. Since then we've watched tarpon and snapper frequent the dock, permits jumping in the flats right in front of the house, and the manatees have been regular visitors.
