This house had a great view and was cleanest place I have ever stayed. You just felt clean as soon as you walk in the door. The house is in a great location and super quiet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and hope to come back in the future. Great communication as well. House has everything you need as well.

The unit was acceptable. I was ready to go home after I stepped on a cockroach barefoot in the kitchen:(The water in the channel has a foul odor.The host was rude when I asked about items in the shed. She said that is off limits & it should have been locked! I had no idea as it was open.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are surprised by these claims as they do not align with our check-in logs or previous guest feedback. We want to clarify for future guests that the property is inspected prior to checkin. We do an inspection to make sure everything is as it should be. The property was thoroughly cleaned free from dust, insects, and all filters on the ACs were removed and cleaned as well. Oven, microwave, toaster oven and stove were all cleaned as well as all utensils, Prior to checking in. When the guest checked in, she did call us to express how clean and how beautiful the views from balcony. She also asked if we had fishing rods so they can fish from the canal. We expressed that we do not supply fishing rods and told her where she could buy some. Next day, she contacted us to state that she had gone in our storage unit that’s outside on the dock and was looking around saw an empty case that could probably fit her fishing rods so that she can take them on the plane. We were confused and didn’t know what she was talking about. She sent us a picture of the case. We apologize that the unit was left unlocked and kindly asked her to please put the case back and that someone would be by to lock the unit.
We apologized that we couldn’t accommodate her in the transport of her fishing rods, but we understand how she could be upset . While we strive for perfection, some claims made here are simply not accurate. We take pride in providing a high-quality experience and wish the guest well."
The house was adorably cute. I loved the beachy colors and decor. The location right on the canal with a view of the ocean was just what we needed. And the neighbors were so friendly and helpful. The outside area was so comfy and cozy with the ocean breeze. And our hostess was so prompt with responding to all the questions we had and was so helpful. I highly recommend staying here for a restful, relaxing vacation in the heart of the Keys.
This home in the sky was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We loved sitting on the outside deck, high above the canal and looking out at the ocean. We would highly recommend this vacation property!
Although you might be taken aback a bit by the neighborhood when you drive into the property, it turns out first impressions can be wrong. This is a wonderful rental--clean and with everything you need plus a wonderful view down the canal to the ocean from both the raised deck and the dock. It was quiet and private and all we hoped for.

Our stay at the unique Casa Gibara was very pleasant. The ocean view was wonderful and relaxing. The elevated views were one thing that distinguished this place from many of the others. The amenities were exceptional and the ambiance was cozy. Both the inside and outside décor was “beachy”. There were many great restaurants, stores, and attractions close by; some within walking distance.
The owners were a pleasure to meet and work with, and always available for answering your questions or anything you needed to make your stay more pleasurable.
This is definitely a one-of –a-kind and the perfect get away spot for a couple coming down from the winter cold.

My wife and I brought our boat down to spend a week on the water for spring break in March and this was a wonderful spot. The unit was clean and the porch had a beautiful view of the water. Being able to keep our boat right out the door and having a fish cleaning station were among our priorities and the rental provided both of those things. It is also close to the grocery store and other things you might need for your stay. The community has a boat ramp which was nice to have...though I would recommend a 4x4 if using because it can be very slippery at lower tide. The unit is perfect for a couple or a couple and two small children. But, the unit itself was very nice and I highly recommend. My only negative is if you are bringing a lot of fishing gear and you aren't comfortable keeping it on the boat overnight, there is no place downstairs to keep your gear and will need to carry up to the porch at night. Otherwise, nothing but good things to say and would not hesitate to book again...hopefully sooner than later!
My husband and I stayed 5 wonderful weeks as Snowbirds in Jan and wished we could have stayed longer. Our adult son joined us for a week and that was doable as well (on the pull-out sofa). The 2nd story deck is wonderful - generous sized & with a water view. When packing, I asked about a hair dryer and Rose provided one in for me. When it got cooler, she called to see if we needed a space heater, but we were good. We brought bikes from home and rode them daily - the grocer, the beach, the airport, the shops, and just around. This unit was perfect for us for a long stay - reasonably priced, clean, w everything we needed. Advanced Communications went smoothly and Rose & her husband met us on arrival. If planning a stay in the Keys again, we’d revisit.
