Our love of the water brought us to Key Largo and this has been our home for the last 20 years. We are fortunate to have found a home with such great neighbors. We moved from Miami, our birthplace, and retired from Miami-Dade WASD six years ago.

Key Largo is famous for its access to some of the best fishing and diving in the country. If you're here just to relax, access to the water is just a step away. Pelican Island (seen from the end of the canal) is an easy kayak trip as are a couple of restaurants (Snooks & Bayside Grill) just a few miles away. If you did not bring a boat, the neighbor across the canal can set you up with a pontoon rental. The Everglades National Park begins at the intercostal just beyond the island in the bay. Technically to enter the park by boat you are required to purchase a pass. This is rarely enforced. You must also purchase a fishing license, this is enforced. Also, spearfishing, jet skis, lobstering, and water skiing are prohibited. This is enforced! One of our favorite places to go is Nest Key, five miles into the Everglades National Park, or just float in the bay! Access to the ocean is either through Adam’s Cut to the north, or through Tavernier Creek to the south. Both routes are 10 miles to the ocean side channels. Further south is Snake Creek and Whale Harbor. These channels will lead you to the famous Islamorada Sandbar. Snooks and Bayside restaurants are on the water and in our bay. They offer music and entertainment nightly. If you get the chance to catch Michael Trixx the Rockin' Magician it's a show you'll not forget! http://www.michaeltrixx.com/schedule https://www.recreation.gov/sitepass/74278 https://myfwc.com/license/

Upstairs you will find three spacious bedrooms, two baths, with an office space in the third bedroom. There is a small screened front porch and a large rear screened porch with table seating for eight, a hot tub, and rockers to enjoy the view of the water. The kitchen is spacious and fully stocked. There is a dinette for four and a bar with an open-concept living area. The living room has a leather pit group, smart tv, and glass sliding doors that lead to the back porch. The interior stair provides access to the home even in inclement weather. Just off the downstairs foyer is a half-bath and the laundry room. The front drive provides parking for three vehicles and there is an adjacent lot to the house for additional trailer parking. The downstairs apartment is presently unoccupied and off-limits unless arranged prior. The gas fire pit will give you hours of relaxation as will the screened pool and the Tiki hut. There is a big-screen TV under the Tiki Hut. A floating dock in the waterway makes boarding any of the five Kayaks or paddleboards available for your use. The 90' dock has a ramp at one end to launch the Kayaks and a fish cleaning station at the other end. There is also a hammock, hanging chairs, and an outdoor shower. The dock has a step down in the center to allow for easy boarding of boats. You will be treated to a fish show at night as the underwater light attracts several species of fish including large Tarpon. Don't be afraid of the Manatees as you swim in the canal as they are very sweet and harmless.
