I chose this house for the view. It was spectacular. The main living area was at ground level, no stairs required. The property was fenced except along the dock, making it perfect for pets. Due to the holiday weekend, it took four days to resolve a plumbing issue.

The kitchen had everything we needed. The dishwasher and trash cans were a little loose, but that is a minor inconvenience. The rooms were clean, there was plenty of space and an absolutely stunning view. We rented a boat and it was easy to come in and dock it. Truly a wonderful place.

Property was not available at check-in time, 2 hr delay. Kayaks were dirty. Inside of property was rush cleaned. BBQ pit not working. Air circulation was inconsistent based on room. No ventilation in bathrooms. Dishwasher racks did not pull out to load. Gorgeous view but subpar upkeep of property for the price.

Beautiful view

Wonderful view from the deck to the south. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well supplied. We loved the ice maker, the kayaks and the parking. The primary bedroom was huge, but the others were smaller than expected.The exterior was wonderful on the ocean side, but one should not look to closely on the west side. It was quite dirty.

Awesome Place you will love it

This is an awesome place to stay. I have stayed alot of places in the Keys and this one is in my top. The views you cant beat. 180 degree view of the ocean. Easy to get to anywhere by boat. They have an ice maker outside for all your fishing needs. And you can have fun with the kids catching snapper off the dock. The house is plenty big for a good size family. I will definitely book this place in the future. Thanks so much Justin

I booked this particular property because I wanted to bring my boat in and have a place to dock and have easy access to the ocean, which we didThe house on the other hand is another story. The house is very dirty in the front and the back with what looks like mold on the stucco, the Jacuzzi would not heat, the top rack of the dishwasher would not pull out and is being held on by zip ties. Many of the cabinet doors are loose in the kitchen. Upon arrival, I discovered that all of the handles on the refrigerator were very very loose and had to call Maintenance for that. The 1st floor bathroom window has a crack in it from top to bottom, the paint is peeling off the walls in the master shower upstairs, which is a step over tub with no grab bars for safety and security. The house has a lot of clutter and it’s dusty in many areas. There’s an air-conditioning vent in the ceiling in the upstairs closet that is hanging on by a thread because the ceiling is falling apart.This house has a lot of potential but I do not believe that it has been kept up and I’m sure that’s difficult to do with people in and out all of the time. All in all, I was rather disappointed. VRBO charges a lot with fees and I would think that they would stay on top of this. I believe I could have rented directly from a realtor and probably save 1000.
