It has a huge screen room on the first floor where you can relax sitting on patio chairs or enjoy a meal on the outside dining room table. The house is completed fenced and has plenty of parking for RVs and boats. It is located on a huge lot, and it is very tastefully decorated. There are also two living rooms one on the second floor and the other in the third. It is located in a very quiet neighborhood and a great place for a family reunion. It has a swimming canal on the back of the house and covered parking under the first floor. Great location for a vacation, kayaking or fishing.

Our Hobie Adventure Mirage Kayak
Hobie Mirage Adventure Fish Kayak. Was originally designed so that it could also be converted into a Hobie Adventure Island (mounting places exist for this). If you have never tried a Hobie kayak, you do not know what you are missing! Having the foot pedal option, with a paddle option, and a sail is the only way to go and get the best experience and have the most fun on the water! We had A LOT of fun with this one.

** The sail is customized and is not something you should use unless you understand how to sail.

*16 foot in length
*Sit on top kayak
*Pedal drive/propulsion
*Paddle

The lift:

We can have the, 12,000 LB capacity, lift fitted professionally for your boat by Lifetime Dock and Lumber Inc. - not that they charge a small fee for the service.

Smart Home:
Just ask Google a question, "Hey Google, what's the weather outlook." Or, "Hey Google, play some inspirational music on 'inside'." You may also control the temperature, "Hey Google, set the temperature to 76 degrees on all devices" - there are three devices.

When you tell Google to play on "inside" you get JBL quality sound in the main living area.

If you don't want Google, just unplug the hub device. You can also, ask Google to turn off the thermostats to enjoy the fresh Keys air.

It's also useful to have Google call local services for you. For example, "Hey Google, call Cudjoe Gardens marina."

Boating:
Oceanside and Gulf side boating await for those interested in exploring the Keys. If you hire a guide, you can explore offshore beaches on the Gulf side that we consider comparable or better than many of the beaches on Dr. Beach's list. Every once in awhile a seaplane will take someone to these beaches because the locations are just so wonderful (see the picture and video someone posted about Marvin Key which is in the backcountry).

For a small fee, we can have the lift adjusted to your boat. Do you really want to leave your boat in the water for a month?

Depending on the pet, this home has some freedom to roam because it has a chain-link fence on two sides and a metal fence in front. The backyard is bordered by a swimmable canal.

About the host

Host profile image
We completed build in 2012 of this wonderful vacation home in Sugarloaf Key. As avid paddlers, we sought a home that allowed us to have low impact interactions with nature.

As mentioned throughout this advertisement we are avid paddlers. Several members of the family crewed in college and were/are competitive NCAA athletes. Whether its paddling an outrigger or simply taking a SUP for a yoga break in the backyard we enjoy being connected to nature.

We also enjoy fishing and fly fishing, and so we selected our toys and location based on our hobbies.

Why they chose this property

This location has excellent access to back country fishing and ocean game. Access to back country fishing is excellent. Access to the ocean is good. Notable reefs nearby. Kayaking is over-the-top!

What makes this property unique

Sugarloaf, Cudjoe Bay and Blue Heron National Park are just minutes away. We enjoy taking out the Hobie Cat 16 on the bay which is 100 yards from the house. There are mangroves right by the house and excellent opportunities to snap photos of the wildlife.

Since paddling is our thing, we invested significantly in sharing that experience with our renters. Hence, we offer the following with our monthly rentals.
Two, West Marine fishing kayaks (details from manufacturer below).
Two, standup paddleboards (SUP). The BIC board was noted in Outdoor Magazine's paddling article. (see details from manufacturer below)
Two, Sport/recreational kayaks. One is a Hobie Kayak.




Paddling notes:
We take paddling serious so always check back because we constantly update our equipment. Even the paddles are above average since human propulsion is your power source.





West Marine excerpt:
If you feel the need for speed AND want to fish...this is your kayak

Low, sleek and stylish, our Pompano 120 Sit-On-Top Angler Kayak has the tracking and speed necessary to cover longer distances quickly and effortlessly. Although designed for day-tripping on flatwater lakes and rivers, even moderate chop and wind are no problem. Where you'll really notice the difference this kayak makes is when you start gearing up for fishing. With a load capacity of 350 pounds (including you) and lots of places to put all the essential gear you'll want to bring along.

BIC excerpt:
KEY FEATURES
Keeled nose - Enhanced tracking and increased glide for fun cruising and exploring.
Full rail-to-rail volume - Enhanced stability, maximum use of the entire deck and a dry ride.
Attachment points - Six deck attachment points for securing gear and easy transport. TEN attachment points on CROSS 11’ for additional gear storage and securing a cooler/seat.
Flat deck - Perfect for family fun, cruising, fitness & yoga.
Full deck pad (Fit/Adventure) - Maximizes use of entire deck for fitness, yoga and family fun.
