anniversary getaway

We had a great time during our stay, communication with the owner was easy, the house was spotless on arrival, exactly what we were looking for - beachy Florida home, the yard was very large, and set back from the quiet street. We saw many reef fish in the water at the edge of the property! there are 2 docks, plenty of parking space, and an easy short walk to Lorelei restaurant- great food and drinks! Walking distance to many other things also. We would love to stay here again!

Delightful oasis

The cottage was roomy and super clean. There are several places to enjoy sitting outdoors and it was super easy to drop a kayak in and enjoy a paddle. The location couldn’t be more convenient, lots within walking and biking distance. Neighbors are around but the property is quite big and there are nice privacy barriers so while close to everything, it feels private. Jackie was lovely to work with, checked in and made sure everything was good at just the right times. This one is an easy decision, you’ll have a relaxed and delightful stay!

Perfect Islamorada Escape

Lorelai is a perfect getaway spot that radiates Florida Keys charm. Surprisingly spacious and cozy at the same time with great water views, front row seats to legendary sunsets and a short stroll to waterfront dining with live music most nights. Our host, Jackie, made the stay seamless and the house is well-stocked with everything you'd need to enjoy yourself. Islamorada is a convenient location for a keys road trip adventure - Key West is just a couple hours away and our day trip there was awesome!

Perfect Spot in the Keys!

Great communication with host. The location far exceeded our expectations and was in the heart of it all. The canal was crystal clear and made a perfect spot to spend winding down the day. I highly recommend this cozy house to anyone who wants to spend time in the fishing capitol of the keys.

Delightful cottage!!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this delightful island cottage!! Location is perfect and private!! We enjoyed just sitting on the dock, watching the fish swim the canal, even saw a shark and sweet manatee!! Jackie was the kindest, most accommodating host. We would absolutely love to stay here again!! I would NOT recommend the Lorelei restaurant as they were rude and seemed hassled and annoyed to be there. However, I would HIGHLY recommend Papa Joes at little farther down…the service was the best we’ve experienced in the keys and the food equally as good!! Book this and stay as long as you can!!!
