We enjoyed our stay in this house. The location was perfect - close to beach, publix and a nice wide canal for our boat. We also made use of the bikes and kayaks. We would definitely stay here again.

The most perfect location in the FL Keys! Relatively short drives to all the "must sees" and even if staying close, great food and sight seeing activities. The property is lovely and well kept. Would definitely stay here again!!

House was great overall; clean, well maintained and good location on the water. Only downside is that it can be 30 min to the gulf or Atlantic by boat, otherwise no complaints!

Great location. Clean and well equipped for our needs. Comfortable beds, plenty of parking and a quiet street.We could ride our bikes everywhere we wanted to go.We didn't have any issue to be addressed during our stay, but Stephanine did reach out prior to our checking in and after to make sure all was well. Would definitely recommend.
