Oceanfront Property in Kawama Tower with Elevator, Lagoon and 2 Heated Pools
“NO WORRIES” VACATION AT OUR BEAUTIFUL ISLAND HOME!
As one of our guests commented in a Sep 2023 review, our home is "the best value for the money at Kawama." Our condo is located in Kawama Tower, part of Kawama Yacht Club, a secure, gated community with 24-hour access. Kawama Yacht Club boasts a large saltwater lagoon, which is great for swimming, strolls, or snorkeling. We have access to two heated pools. Two elevators serve the Tower and the property also has tennis and pickle ball courts. Guests may be able to rent boat slips at the on-site marina, if available (contact Domenic at rsmgt@gmail.com or (786) 803-4423), but, regrettably, all of the boat trailer spaces on Kawama are full, so boats and trailers that are launched at the marina would have to be kept off-site. For those without a boat, fishing (with a FL license) is possible from the jetty-- and fun, especially for youngsters. A favorite pastime at Kawama is gathering at the jetty each evening with drinks and watching the sun go down—what better way is there to relax?
We are able to rent on a “vacation basis”, meaning that there is no chance that your reservation could be canceled at the last minute, in the event that the Monroe County Code Enforcement office discovers that the owner from whom you have rented your unit does not hold either a special vacation permit, or an exemption, to rent for less than 28 days. We also have a hurricane policy that gives you a full refund of days missed, in the event of an evacuation. So in other words, RELAX, you’re on vacation now! As a result of the Covid pandemic crisis, our unit receives additional cleaning, as specified by Monroe County, FL, the CDC, and the American Hotel Association.
Our condo has 2 bedrooms (one king, and one queen + sofa bed) and two 2 full bathrooms, one of which is handicapped accessible. We also have a new (2023) IKEA double sleeper sofa in the living room and new (2025) single one in the guest bedroom. A high chair and a travel crib/playpen are available, upon prior request. We have a small private balcony that is great for reading or enjoying your morning coffee. Our kitchen is fully equipped with everything from blenders to popcorn makers, as well as a variety of spices that you are free to use during your stay. We also have a George Foreman electric grill for grilling your fresh-caught, or bought, fish. We have a washing machine and dryer as well as 2 flat screen TVs, cable, and wi-fi. There are plenty of towels and linens, as well as books, DVDs, and games for you to use during your stay. The decor reflects our own style of eclectic antiques, blended with Keys-themed original art.
One of the many reasons why we love Key Largo is that while it’s easy to spend the day lounging by the pool or lagoon, there are plenty of more adventurous options as well. There are several chartered fishing boat options available within walking distance of Kawama. Pennekamp Coral Reef Park is only a five-minute drive away, and we love to kayak through the mangrove trails or snorkel off the beach there. There are a number of tour boats and rental outlets operating near Kawama, including diving and snorkeling tours, as well as the famed ‘African Queen.’ In terms of wildlife adventures, we are within walking distance of Dolphins Plus, one of several nearby 'swim-with-the- dolphins' centers, only a ten-minute drive from the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center, a half-hour from "Theater of the Sea", and less than an hour's drive from both the Everglades and the Monkey Jungle. There are also museums and historic sites in the area.
We are also spoiled when it comes to places to eat and drink. Within walking distance are the Pilot House Restaurant and the Key Largo Fisheries, both of which serve good food and drink. The Fisheries also sells a variety of fresh seafood to cook at home. We also particularly enjoy Sharkey’s and Skippers' (three-minute drive), the Conch House, and the Fish House (both a five-minute drive). Mrs. Mac's is a must! For your everyday needs, Walgreens, CVS, and a Dollar Store are all within walking distance.
We hope you come to love Key Largo as much as we do!
**Worry-free hurricane season policy: In the case of a mandatory hurricane evacuation, you will be refunded for the amount of vacation time missed due to the evacuation.

Communication was wonderful! The beach was disappointing, but the pool was nice, it was quiet and we had everything we needed in the kitchen (including a water filter) and the bathrooms. It was a great value for the money.
The location and amenities were fantastic. Being so close to local dining, and attractions made the experience a breeze. Check in was easy and parking was convenient. Ken is a great host and earns 5 stars with ease

We are so happy to hear y'all had a great time at our home! VBW Ken & Linda S-C
The property is beautiful and well worth the stay. The Lagoon is excellent for snorkeling and swimming with the fish. We spent a lot of time there. The pool nearest the main tower is also very nice. We had a great stay!!!

We are so glad to hear that everything went so well for you during your stay at our home. Hurry back!! Ken & Linda
Have stayed at this property in the past. It continues to remain well stocked and as advertised. Ken communicates extremely well and quickly. Will continue to stay at this property.
Property was clean and well kept and we had everything we needed for the stay. The resort also had plenty of things to do as well and Key Largo is beautiful.
Great stay! As pictured/advertised, enjoyed nearby activities such as kayaking, beach, parasailing and Theater of the sea … we enjoyed the pools open to us with our stay and local restaurants.
Very nice and comfortable apartment. It had a lovely fully equipped kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. Perfect size for four people and our dog. The salt water lagoon is wonderful and the rest of property is great too. Loved riding around with our rented golf cart. It’s our second time at the Kawana Yacht Club, first time in this unit and we were very happy with it. Ken was great and quickly answered all of my questions.
Location was very convenient; the condo was clean and spacious....the host was fabulous! In fact, the host gave great directions, answered my questions within an hour or less. Thank you Ken appreciate the communication, directions and suggestions!
Great property, exactly as described. More than enough room for 4 adults and a child, along with easy access to everything around. Property is extremely secure, clean, comfortable and owner is exceptionally easy to get in touch with! Really enjoyed our stay.
We had an absolutely wonderful vacation, and it's due mostly to the location and the actual property itself. Conveniently located to everything, this property is exactly as advertised and more! We would not hesitate to stay here again. It was extremely comfortable, and we felt very welcomed.
Owner was very responsive to questions. Kitchen had everything. Loved sitting on the balcony and will definitely be back.

About the host
Hosted by Ken Smith-Christmas
We are a retired couple from Virginia who fell in love with Key Largo. We love nature, art, world travel (our daughter lives in Ireland), and having great restaurants nearby.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because we really like the laid-back atmosphere of Key Largo. We love being far enough from the highway to feel a world away from everything, but close enough to good places to eat and drink.
What makes this property unique
Out of all the places we've stayed in the Keys, this one is our favorite to enjoy wildlife. Our beautiful lagoon means that on any given day, you can see egrets, ibises, parrotfish, iguanas, and many more. We also like the friendly community spirit of Kawama.
