Absolutely loved the location. Perfect to keep our boat rental. Far enough away from crowds, close enough to get wherever we needed by golf cart. Loved having a washer/dryer. Kimberly was a great host quick to answer questions. Easy to access the property, great space for the 4 of us, everyone there was helpful. Hope to visit again!

Host was great. Very accommodating. We were able to store our bags on our departure day. Made our stay easier since we were not leaving on the ferry until 4pm. The location was perfect, the condo was immaculate. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Although the weather for our getaway wasn't the best, far better than the 20 below at home, our stay was fabulous. The communication with Kim was outstanding and the condo was very nice and clean and in a great location!

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad you had a fabulous stay despite the less-than-perfect weather—at least it was a nice escape from the deep freeze at home! It’s great to hear you enjoyed the condo’s cleanliness, location, and my communication. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d love to welcome you back again!

We truly appreciate your kind words! It’s great to hear the condo felt clean, comfortable, and fully stocked, and that communication was easy throughout your stay. We’d love to welcome you back again.
The host was very helpful and responsive to our questions. The property manager was nice and also helpful. There is a nice pool and deck area but the weather was a little too cool to use that.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you found our team helpful and responsive, and that you enjoyed the pool and deck area, even if the weather didn’t fully cooperate. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Our stay was very close to everything we wanted to do. I have a terminal illness but still enjoyed every minute. My favorite was that there was a tv and fan in my room.
Convenient yet quiet with parking for a golf cart!
We had 5 adult women stay and the 2 bedrooms and two baths were great with plenty of space. We loved the option to be able to rent an electric golf cart and plug it in without issue at the property. The balcony is very spacious and offers quick access to the pool. Despite the heat outside the condo was cool and comfortable! We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. The location is convenient yet quiet!
I am a native to the Chesapeake Bay area of Virginia and married a Florida native in 2017. Together, we have made both Florida and Virginia our homes, but currently reside in my native area of Virginia since 2020. We have no children but are proud aunts and uncles to our many niblings and have 3 fur babies (cats). We both enjoy being outdoors, spending time with our families, and traveling. Together with my sister, Jennifer, we host visitors of the Florida Keys at our family rental properties in Key West and Marathon. We have hosted over 2,000 nights so far and look forward to hosting many more.
