The owners take great pride in their property. The house was immaculate and they have honestly thought of everything! Great location right between Key West and Marathon. The house, pool, dock, everything was top notch. The kayaks and paddle boards were definitely a bonus! The house looks just like the pictures. We will definitely be back!

This property is fantastic! It’s in perfect condition, both inside and out. The grounds were immaculate. They had everything you could need, from pool games and beach games to beach towels, life jackets, entertainment around the pool, large porches, a dock for a boat, a fish cleaning area at the dock’s end, paddle boards, kayaks, and more. The layout was ideal for a large group with multiple families. The host was super responsive and helpful with all our questions. We can tell they really care about the home and the property. Definitely recommend! We cannot wait to come back

Sterling Bay House is truly a private resort. It was impeccably clean, with lovely rooms; the kitchen was well-stocked, the beds comfortable. Our family loved the pool (best ever), the fun oceanfront with cabanas, hammock, its own sand beach, and the expansive dock for fishing. Brava!

Everything was spotless, well stocked and well labeled. The Sterling Bay House exceeded our expectations. A large group of 16 gathered for a family re-union to celebrate a 70th birthday with an age range from 19 months to 86 years. Plenty of fun things to do within 40 minutes of the house.

This was a great place to stay. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. There were more beach towels than you could ever use. The sleeping arrangements/bedrooms were great for a large group. The swimming pool, pool toys, and games were amazing. And..the host was great about responding and helping. For a relaxing and fun place to be with young kids you can’t go wrong.

This is by far the best property we've found in the Keys. The layout was perfect for our group and the outdoor space was amazing. The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. We will definitely stay here again when we come back.

We're a family of 13 and go somewhere different every two years for our family vacation. This year we decided to go to Florida and enjoy the Keys. What an amazing time we had. Everything about our trip and this property was perfect, so much so that no one wanted to go home. We started our mornings and ended our days in the pool. No matter the heat, it was always cool with a breeze while we were enjoying the pool or watching the World Cup. The home was beautifully appointed and so comfortable, all of the bedrooms were spacious with en-suites. The grounds were lovely and private, the sunsets were amazing, the kids were able to fish each day off the dock, boating & deep sea fishing is also available, we took advantage of both, and the sheer beauty of the area can take your breath away. Also, kayaks, paddleboards, bikes, ping pong, darts, corn hole, etc., etc., is available, especially the ice machine, it was loved by all. There wasn't anything we needed that wasn't there. Just a short walk can take you to the KiKi Sandbar for some delicious rum drinks, food and live music. It was frequented many times by all of us. This truly felt like a home away from home. We loved it!

This place is amazing and fully equipped/outrigged. The listing is exactly as stated and beautiful. Very active marine wildlife and warm clear Florida key's water. Owner is very responsive and nice. Kiki's just a two-minute walk away and great restaurants a very quick drive. Everyone in our party was amazed, had a blast, and were sad to leave. I can honestly say that it is the best property I've rented.

My family and I stayed at the Sterling Bay House from March 27th to April 3rd. This property is amazing! The house was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. The outside was awesome as well. So many amenities come with this house inside and out. From the various games we played, attempting to paddleboard, and fishing on the dock. We even rode bikes the one day (two we couldn't use- one had a flat tire and the other the chain kept popping) but we still had fun. Both the children and adults were never bored. We had one small issue with the heated pool. Steven was quick to respond and came right over and fixed the problem. We went for a very short walk to Kiki's one night. Loved the atmosphere, the food was delicious, and great service. We had so much fun, lots of laughs, and many memories made! Thank you Steven!
A beautiful view every day!

Living the Life!

We loved every minute of our stay at Sterling Bay House! The house is a well appointed fulfilling all our needs! We were nine adults and five kids. There were fun things for the kids to do. The kids (and adults) loved the pool, we enjoyed being on the dock and fishing, enjoyed all the games for the outside, enjoyed the kayaks. We had iguana visits and key deer! We would definitely stay there again!

Excellent Venue

The Sterling Bay House was absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Our daughter had a small family wedding at the venue and it was absolutely gorgeous. The owners were very friendly and timely in responding to any questions we had and even went above and beyond to have all the dinnerware, glassware and silverware for the event. The location was very convenient to restaurants and stores and only a half hour or so to Key West.
