This House is Top Notch!

Beautiful home! The time and details this owner has put into this home is noted. Everything you need is there! And she buys like I buy, quality materials to use (Dawn, Meyers, etc) beach towels to use was nice! Love the washer and dryer. We used it multiple times everyday to keep up and came home with clean clothes! We wore the pool out since we couldn’t use the beach. The sargassum is at record breaking high! It’s turtle season until October! The sargassum is literally about 12ft out. The smell was so loud could almost taste it. Although the sargassum prevented us from use of the paddle boards and kayaks, you can go down the street to Founders Park and get free admission with your reservation with the address listed. A local told me about Sombrero Beach, said it was the most beautiful beach in the Keys but we never made it there due to all the other activities we did. I’d love to take this house and place it on an oceanfront beach access. Due to not being able to access the beach because of sargassum and the smell, I wouldn’t stay here again though. But if sargassum isn’t issue for you, this is a wonderful place.

Paradise

This property was perfect for our family of 5 adults! Vieww were fabulous! So nice to have a private beach. We spent many hours at the beach and pool. We had the great opportunity to witness where a turtle came ashore to lay her eggs. We brought our boat down and docked it at close by Caloosa Cove Marina. The home was very nice and we had lots of room outside and inside to relax or group together. I would highly recommend this property. Lisa was very friendly and accommodating to us. We will be back for another vacation!

Best Family Vacation Ever

My wife and our 3 children (21(f), 20(m) and 17(m)) enjoyed our stay. Lisa was a great host. She greeted us upon check in and checked on us throughout our stay. The accommodations were great and the location was tremendous. We enjoyed hanging around the pool (heated), taking in the sun and our afternoon sand volleyball "game". The owner even provides a huge bluetooth speaker that we used to listen to music all day long while hanging outside. The hot tub was a nice way to enjoy the cooler evenings. Our boys loved to use the 2 Stand Up Paddle boards; they made several trips out each day. There are also 2 kayaks that we all used several times each day. The kitchens were very well equipped. Christmas morning sunrise from the upper deck was spectacular. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a laid back Keys vacation; close enough to what you need but secluded enough to just chill.

Perfect location, fantastic views with Several unfortunate circumstances and poor communication

My family spent 8 days there for my sisters 40th birthday. We all loved the location, the view is spectacular and the house is beautiful & modern. The day we arrived 3:09pm the cleaning lady was still cleaning the downstairs. I cloroxed the 2 outside tables because there were crumbs all over the tables. The downstairs refrigerator did not work the entire time of our stay, we had to buy ice every day and a cooler. Uncontrollable was the weather we were there for a cold front but still spent the majority of our time outside. The pool was not heated however it had a sign on on the property saying DO not turn the pool heater on. I texted, called left voicemails and nothing from Lisa- her brother in law showed up and said the heater needs to be serviced. Then I get a text from Lisa regarding the pool. Communication with Lisa was very frustrating and difficult to get a hold of her. First day she was great after that we left multiple msgs about refrigerator and pool with minimal or no response. The go to book in the living room about the property is a mess and has OLD contact information. I even tried contacting the so called property manager and he actually answered and texted back stating you got the wrong person! On Saturday my parents were greeted in the pool by Lisa who told them they had to leave. Not in a nice way either!! It her property she can come to the house at any time but the way she handled it was very unprofessional. The refrigerator was serviced 2X they added frion but that did not work. We had to keep beverages and food upstairs. The upstairs table and kitchen counter have little bugs so we didn't eat at the table we had to eat outside. My daughter unfortunately left her bag with her school ipad at the house- again very hard to get a response from Lisa and as of today we still have not received the Ipad when she said she was going to mail it back to us. Bring bug spray since we spent most the time outside we got bit up my bugs. Seaweed is also uncontrollable- however the neighbors landscapers came and cleaned theirs but at this property we had to clear a path to get to the ocean ourselves.

The property on Lower Matecumbe Beach is absolutely ideal. It has everything you could possibly need, including laundry and shower essentials, kitchen supplies, and beach towels. The game room was well-equipped to keep everyone entertained. Both the beach and pool were exceptional, providing a perfect spot for relaxation. We thoroughly enjoyed our time by the pool whenever we wished. Additionally, the location is fantastic, conveniently close to all the activities you want to experience. We had a problem one night with the sample alarm beeping and after contacting them, it was taken care of very quickly.

Beautiful House!

The house was gorgeous and every possible amenity was provided. It was so nice that the homeowner provided good quality beach towels and lots of them! There were extra sheets if you needed them. Just every possible need was anticipated. The view was lovely. The beach was lovely except for the seaweed, but the homeowner can't control that. We'd love to come back in the winter when the seaweed isn't so bad. The pool was great. The beds were comfortable. All in all, probably the nicest house we've stayed in. Thanks!

Fun place to stay

I would stay there again just not in the summer. The pool was great and the house was great. From May till September there is algae that washes up and it is illegal to move it. This algae smells like dead crawfish! You can smell it as soon as you meter the property. You get used to it after a while but leave and comeback and it hits you in the face. Beautiful property and the host was great.

Ask Questions!

We recently stayed at this property with extended family—my nieces and great-nieces stayed upstairs while I stayed in the downstairs suite. The home is well appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked.However, there were two major issues that affected our stay. First, the beach was completely covered in sargassum (sea grass), and the water remained thick with it for what appeared to be at least 500 yards out. The smell was strong and unpleasant from the moment we arrived, and the beach was unfortunately unusable. When I brought this up to the maintenance person, I was told it was “common for this time of year” and that, because it was sea turtle nesting season, they were not permitted to clean or remove the sea grass or any of the trash that had washed up. If this is the case, it should absolutely be disclosed in the listing so guests can make an informed decision.Second, the volleyball net—which looks inviting in the photos—is set up on sand that has a noticeable downward slope toward the ocean. About a third of the playable area is uneven and slanted, which made it feel like a twisted ankle waiting to happen. There’s ample level ground closer to the house where it could be relocated more safely, so this setup was a bit confusing.The house itself is lovely and comfortable, but these two factors—the unusable beachfront and the unsafe vo

Relaxing trip to the keys with kids

We just returned from a great stay in Islamorada. This house was a great place for two families to stay. The house is very well outfitted with everything you might need. The kids loved the pool, basketball and playing whiffle ball on the sandy beach yard. The views of the ocean are beautiful. There are plenty of areas to sit and relax both inside and outside. We had an awesome trip, I wish we could go back now!

Excellent outdoor furnishings on balcony. The property has incredible privacy given it's location. Easy drive (1hr 45 min) to Key West. Great local restaurants.

Family Vacation in Paradise

This vrbo has it all with spectacular views on your own private beach! We were a family of 8 who had plenty of room, comfy beds, stocked kitchens, lots of outdoor furniture, heated pool, and gorgeous views! You arrive to your own gated home with instant views of your private beach area, heated swimming pool, lots of lounge chairs and tables with chairs. You have a fire table next to the pool that offers an amazing place to sit with a drink and soak it all in. There are paddle boards, kayaks, pool floats and sand toys already there for your use along with a volleyball net on the beach. The downstairs apartment is separate from upstairs with it's own separate entrance. My husband and I did not mind because we were there with our adult children & grandkids and enjoyed our own area. It has a bedroom with king bed & bathroom, living room, kitchen, 2nd bathroom, and game tables such as Pacman, foosball, and air hockey. It has beautiful views of the beach and ocean. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms (one has a king bed and the other 2 have 2 beds), 2 bathrooms, large stocked kitchen, living room, and large dining area. It has a wonderful wrap around porch with comfy furniture & grill and offers those same gorgeous views of the ocean inside and out. My 1 piece of advice is to read about Sargassum (has nothing to do with the house or owner, but good to learn about) The owner, Ellen, is great at communication and quick to respond! The area is fun with great restaurants & activities!

Amazing! Family hated to leave!

Property is private and beautiful. Every possible amenity is included - even paddle boards and kayaks. Private beach, heated pool right on the beach. Family felt like they were in their own private paradise. Excellent location near all the best restaurants in Islamorada. Not far from Sombrero Beach and Bahia Honda - two great beaches. Super comfortable. We asked for a Christmas tree as we were staying over Christmas and they decorated the entire house, upstairs and down. Could not have been nicer to us.

Perfect family spot

The house is great for a family. The kitchen has everything you need. There are some things that could use an upgrade or fix, such as the shower heads, a couple doorknobs, dusty cabinets, and other finishes. However, none of that detracted from what this property has to offer. The incredible heated pool gave our family the best memories. The air hockey, foosball table and pac man game was a fun surprise. Loved the fire tables and really appreciated the extra propane tanks left in the shed. The beach is also incredible. The seagrass was a lot when we were there, but that didn't stop us from playing in the sand. We had a couple things we needed the property manager for and he replied to texts super fast and showed up, or sent someone, to correct the small issues we had right away. The area is also great with many restaurants and stuff to do within 10-15 minute drive. Highly recommend this property.

Beautiful property

Beautiful property, incredibly private. The beach, deck, and outside areas were spectacular. We had three chicken friends that visited every day! We traveled to Marathon, Key West, and Tavernier while there, as well as Islamorada. Publix was right in town and we bought some groceries there, but also enjoyed many area restaurants. I think the listing should be updated as the beds were configured differently than we thought (2 bedrooms had 2 twin beds) and it worked for our family but might not for groups with couples. Also, the downstairs and upstairs are separate— you have to go outside to access one area from the other. Again, that didn’t bother us, but it was a surprise. Inside was plenty of space to come together and hang out or find some private areas to be alone. The owner was incredibly communicative and helpful, even calling the day we arrived to make sure everything was working out.
