Our new favorite place!
Fran's Place certainly did not disappoint. We frequent the Florida Keys annually and this is by far the best place we have stayed. In fact, I hesitate to write such a glowing review for fear our new secret will get out.
Fran's Place is very clean, the kitchen is very well appointed, the outside yard and dock were immaculate, and Fran was always available should we need her. The fish cleaning station is really nice as well. The outdoor grill was clean and well-shaded next to the front porch and within easy access to the front door and kitchen. The rooms are large and the King size mattress in the master bedroom is high quality. Cheap bedding seems to abound in vacation rentals we have stayed at in the past.
There is easy access to both the Atlantic and the Gulf waters and the fishing was great. We have a flats boat, but because the waters on the Atlantic side were so calm the first few days we were able to do quite a bit of (slightly) offshore fishing.
The outdoor bait freezer is a big plus. As native Floridians we know just how hot it can get during the summer. We did notice how well insulated the roof over the back porch was and with the ceiling fan on we could actually enjoy sitting on the porch in July.
There are tons of amazing restaurants nearby as well.
So now you know our newest secret, but is is okay because Fran and her family deserve the praise.
