The host was great in communication. The home was very clean and inviting. As it being a pet friendly home, every once in a while you could smell wet dog in the living room area. Im guessing from the throw blankets and area rug.The little things were above and beyond the other vrbos we have been to, such as the kitchen having so many essentials, the bathrooms even had toothpaste and toothrushes along with soaps.The lower outdoor space was very relaxing and had an ice machine, beach towels, and the pool was bigger than we thought it would be. We appreciated that it was heated as the weather was cold, windy, raining for most of our stay.

Hands down the best vacation rental we have ever stayed at. Very clean and tastefully decorated and furnished. In excellent condition as well. It was so comfortable to hang out and just relax both in the house as well as outside under the cabana. We enjoyed the kayaks. We didn’t use the bikes or pool but this home has SO much to offer. The location was close to Sombrero Beach and Crane Hammock which we loved. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare food including spices and such. Can’t say enough good things to finally stay in a place where the reviews actually matched our expectations!

The beach house is the perfect location to explore all that the Keys has to offer, which is A LOT! Melynda was wonderful as a host and offered some great local food suggestions. This is a gem of a spot and left the right kind of memories for me to look forward to a future visit :-)

It was great fun, great location and Melynda was a very helpful host. We rented a boat and it was a perfect setup where we could dock the boat at the property. There were 5 of us and our whole family really enjoyed our stay.
