LK01 - Beachfront Ocean Duplex

Really enjoyed the home and the views. Some of the amenities were missing or being worked on during our stay and we were not notified prior to our arrival. The dock was non existent until the day before we left as they were rebuilding it (was looking forward to doing some fishing from it), no fish or bait table, outdoor ceiling fan was broken, front door handle was broken, tree service was doing tree trimming one full afternoon/evening on right in front of our deck on the beach. Owner of property was there and was great to visit with and full of great information. I messaged Vacasa a couple of days prior to our 1800 mile trip to make sure everything was in order and recieved a "yes it is and you can't get a refund" response. Still had a great time and will be back.

Brandon L. -

The private little beach and dock are the best in the keys . Great fishing at night and great views and fun to snorkel. Its been my favorite vacation spot for awhile. Ill be back next year!

Jordan E. -

My family and I loved every day at this house. It was quiet and relaxing! Everything you need was there and stocked! The beds were comfortable, the kids even loved the pull out couch. We would definitely return to the Zane Grey!

Kenneth M. -

We had the best time at this beach house! The house was equipped with all that we needed! It was sooo convenient to be able to wash and dry our clothes on site! The hammock and seating areas were awesome! We loved having the ocean within a few steps from the back door! Our 3 and 1 year old had the best time! We loved Layton/Long Key, because it was centrally located and we could travel to all of the different areas in the Keys. It was such a quiet area. The house comes with kayak use, so we enjoyed using those! If you have a small family, STAY HERE! We will be back!

Baleigh R. -

Loved it

Randy F. -

Such an amazing place. Has everything you need and want. We brought our dog and he had the best time. You can watch the sunrise and the sunset from this house. This place has a lot of history that we learned about from the neighbor which made it even better. My son and his girlfriend kayaked, fished off the dock and caught some sharks. Great restaurants not far from the location. We will be back to this slice of heaven.....Over and over again.

Angela W. -

This house has EVERYTHING!!!! The kayaks were fun, the snorkeling was AMAZING, the fish were biting (not many keepers) and the view was unbelievable! We stayed 5 days and enjoyed every single day! There were turtles, manatee, shark, and stingray all out by the dock. We only spent money on groceries and bait. We have a 21 yr old mentally and physically handicapped daughter that could lay in the shallow water with us or hang out On the Patio while we fished. The place was exactly what we needed. IT WAS HEAVEN!!! We will be back.

Carolyn D. -

Private, secluded and perfect if you want tranquility and no fuss beach access.

Candice R. -

The stay was everything and more than what I expected

Humberto G. -

We had an amazing summer trip to this lovely beach house. The house was cozy and comfortable, but having access to your own private beach was the best! We were worried about the hurricane, but luckily, we just missed it. Perfect place unwind, unplug and enjoy the scenery. Get in the water and enjoy with some water-sports. Would definitely return with friends or family.

Allison P. -

Beautiful Private Beach in a cozy home... What more can you say!

Mario T. -

My family and I had a wonderful time during our week-long stay. Amazing to have a beautiful beach in the keys. Very chill. Super private. Perfect getaway from Miami. Would absolutely rent again. THANK YOU!!!

!!

LJ B. -

the house is well equipped and updated the beach is beautiful and private

joan s. -

Has everything you need , just show up with a bathing suit

Michael -

This property was as described and perfectly met our needs for a keys vacation in July. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more and especially liked the dock access, kayaks and free to use beach gear. Centrally located with easy access to marathon and islamorada.

Sara B. -

Location is the best part of this place. Perfect for just gazing at the water. House is well equipped. Marathon & Islamorada are equal distance to go to town. Beach gets seagrass deposit every high tide, but a quick rake as the tide is running clears it up pretty well. Though I prefer a separate house to duplex like this, not much noise from neighbors. There was sufficient room on the beach and decks to have your own space. We rented a 19 ft skiff for a week from Seabird Marina (good folks there). Water is thin, so approach parallel to shore from bridge. Tie up to dock and mooring so it will not swing into dock in current. Water between house and adjacent condos has a spot full of lobsters, but did not find much more snorkeling there.

Jeff T. -

A little peace of paradise & the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in a long time. I would definitely rent this property again! Quiet , private beach right off the spacious deck with Amazing views & a private dock. Beautiful, large Tiki huts shade the beach & part of the deck. Plus umbrella table w/plenty of chairs on the deck. Plenty of privacy as the laundry room separates the 2 decks & also holds fishing poles, life vests, extra beach umbrellas, noodles etc., for your use! Kayaks & paddle boards also for your use. Water is very clear & shallow quite a ways out but deep enough to swim in parts. Beach was well maintained- seaweed did come in w/the tide but wasn’t problematic. Great for kids, dogs, newlyweds, families, boaters, fishing! Boat dock has a fish cleaning station & you could dock a boat there easily. You can see the bridge from this property & even kayak under it. Inside was clean , plenty of linens (bath, bedding, beach towels, pillows, ) , appliances nice, ample dishes-pots-drinkware, shower good size, 2 bedrooms good size. To be honest, the closet doors could be updated or fixed (kept coming off track) and blinds on the bedroom windows need to be replaced (hard to open for light) but that was all I found wrong- both easy fixes! There was a small issue with the kitchen sink leaking but I made a call late night call & it was fixed the next morning. None of those “small” issues would keep my from renting here again!!! Great parking, pull out of the drive - left over the bridge takes you to Marathon & make a right , its short ride to Islamorada! Being in the middle, it won’t take too long to get to Key Largo, Key West or any Key in-between! We went snorkeling, the turtle hospital is a must & spent a day in Key West. Also did some fishing, kayaking almost every day & drove to several restaurants for amazing dinners. You can still experience the fun of the Keys but If you want quiet to come back to “easy mornings & peaceful star lit skies, post card views & down time” this IS the place!

deborah a. -

Deborah, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. We have passed along your comments about the closet doors and blinds to our local operations manager for consideration. We look forward to hosting you again!

Beautiful beach! House has everything you could want.

Mark M. -

It was great.

Dean S. -

We stayed here for our honey moon and we loved it! Every morning we went paddle boarding and watched sunsets every night. We will definitely be coming back!

Katherine H. -

This rental is paradise! We had our honeymoon here and every morning we enjoyed paddle boarding and every afternoon we enjoyed amazing sunsets! We will definitely be coming back!

Katherine R. -

Experience was great, for sure will be back!

Stephanie T. -

Great place and location

peter j. -

I am already counting down the days until we stay here again. The thatched huts on the deck on on the beach added immeasurably to our stay. When we needed shade or needed to cool off, sitting in a chair on the beach under the hut was perfect. When it was raining sitting in a chair under the hut on the deck and still watching the water was perfect! We saw manatee and schools of fish from the dock. The bed was super comfortable and we really enjoyed using the kayak. The home is thoughtfully decorated and had everything we could need for use on the beach. Our only issue was with Vacasa and how they didnt promptly handle an issue we had with the washing machine. But the property itself was wonderful.

Diane G. -

We absolutely loved this place. It had everything we needed from kayaks to snorkel gear you name it. We were traveling with our family of six and this was our first real vacation. We were able to literally watch the sunrise every morning on the dock or watch it out on the kayaks. Great experience we can’t wait to go back!

Christina C. -

We had a great time here with our two young children (3 and 7). If was very clean and there were plenty of beach toys to play with. There were so many great things to do around the area. It was also fun to see the animals swim right off the dock! We will be back again!

Sylvia J. -

We went down for our anniversary with our two kids (3,7). The beach was very relaxing. The kids loved playing in the sand. There was a lot to do around the area for the kids too. I would definitely go there again!

sylvia j. -

We were there Feb 4 - Feb 9. The weather was absolutely amazing. Upper 70s to low 80s every day. The property is wonderful. It has just about everything you need with some excellent extras. The supplied kayaks were very fun on the water. Just a quick walk down to the bridge to fish. The views are amazing. The dock and deck are rebuild after the hurricane destroyed the originals. The neighbors were very friendly. It was a truly wonderful experience. We found the beds to be very soft and comfortable. If I had 1 complaint, it would be that the seaweed that washes onto the beach was not cleared off the entire time we were there. It was piled pretty thick from the day we arrived. I do understand that there is a lot going on with hurricane clean-up efforts, but some maintanence like this should also be kept up with 1-2 times a week.

Dustin O. -

Kayaks for use...Beds very comfortable, tastefully furnished.

Jackie B. -

We're going to be back. Over and over and over..

Dustin O. -

Located less then a stone's throw to the water, this lovely location is perfect for a family to enjoy the beach. You will be located in a great location to enjoy the full keys from Key Largo to Key West .The locals are friendly and very helpful., we personally wanna thank the crew at Tildens dive shop for an absolute great day. If your looking for a great spot to enjoy the Keys without even leaving your backyard this is the place for you

Mark F. -

If you are looking for a little cottage on a nice Sandy Beach. This is the place for you. Beautiful view of the ocean. We spent the entire time either on the dock or on the deck.

Kevin P. -

What a gem!! Like having your own private island. We will definitely come back. What an amazing location. ❤️❤️❤️

Gina H. -

What an amazing location. It was like having our own private beach. What a hidden gem. Best vacation ever! Can't wait to come back!!

Gina H. -

This is a great house with an excellent location. We loved it because the unit provided great privacy while being right on the ocean. We loved to take walk up and down the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage train. Beautiful spot to watch sunrise and sunset.

Nishant S. -

Just a little piece of paradise ❤️

Robin R. -

This was an amazing vacation and beautiful home!

Jennifer G. -

What an unbelievable place to relax and enjoy the beauty that the Florida Keys has to offer. I would highly recommend the Zane Grey and will most definitely be staying there again on my next adventure to the Keys. This place truly is Heaven on Earth.

Todd S. -

The Zane Grey was a wonderful place to stay. In person it looks exactly as it does in pictures. It was clean and cozy. Beds were comfortable, rooms were a good size. You had everything you may need to cook and prepare meals. You basically have a private beach to yourself. There is no public access so no random people walking along the beach. It's very quite and peaceful. The internet connection as another reviewer stated was spotty, however that is what attracted me to the place. Would be a great place for anyone to really slow down from their daily grind.

Susan C. -

Great location for exploring the Keys! We spent time checking out everywhere from Key Largo all the way down to Key West. Great apartment, plenty of room for our family to spread out (two children 19, 20). Nice to have our own beachfront! Our neighbors were very friendly and had some great suggestions! Right outside the driveway is the Henry Flagler 7 mile bridge - great place to walk, fish, or just watch the sunset!

Tricia M. -

This was the perfect beach get away with all the amenities. Only wish there was more days available for rent during our time frame. Beds were comfortable and great views! Had just about everything there for you if you want to cook. Definitely looking to stay in future.

Valerie T. -

Overall a great property - location cannot be beaten. Quietly nestled on the ocean, right off US1, the property is great for couples, single families, or groups of friends - especially if both sides of the property are rented at the same time. Decor was hokey and there were a few minor maintenance issues I noticed (back screen door was off track, and front door handle was cracked), but these things did little to overshadow the prime location. I will be back again and I've already recommended it to friends!

Christopher J. -

The location and the property were very nice and what we expected. We were fortunate to meet the owner, Bill, very nice guy. Also, Michelle, cleaning gal was very helpful and nice as well. We definitely will stay again sometime!

Tiffany K. -

WOW, that says it all!!! Who says The Keys doesn't have many nice beaches? The Cabin was in a perfect secluded spot with private beach and boat dock. Just absolutely wonderful. We sat out at night and looked at the stars. The house was well equipped with quality furnishings and was clean. Even had a resident cat that would come and sit outside with us at night ! We were fortunate to have a nice young group of neighbours who "adopted" us for 2 days and fed us the lobster and hogfish they caught. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Beverly K. -

We had amazing time at the beach house in Layton. Everything was perfect, we had everything we needed plus more.

Angelica M. -

I don't even want people to know how amazing this place was...because it will never be available for rent when people discover this place! Perfect! Can't wait to return.

Florence T. -

Stayed here for a few days with my son and husband. The water, just foot steps from the back door, is very shallow, which was perfect for our 4 year old, he entertained himself snorkeling and exploring the underwater "city," as he calls it. House was clean and well stocked. We cooked almost all meals in the kitchen. Took our boat and explored the Atlantic and the gulf. Nice little gem!

Jennifer T. -

We had a wonderful time having our own private beach:). It was clean, comfortable and relaxing!

William B. -

We stayed here last week, and everyone at work has asked me how our vacation was. The only word to describe it is "Perfect"! We had our 5 and 3 year old with us. The house is the perfect size. We never ate at the dining table, because we ate outside. But the kitchen is nicely updated, and everything we needed to cook was already there. The beach was outstanding. My kids really enjoyed swimming in the water. It stays pretty shallow which was nice. Everything was very clean, and we met the lady who cleans the home, and she was super nice. Everyone I talked to on the phone while booking the place, and even when I had questions were super helpful as well. We will definitely be staying here next year, and I can't wait!

Kyle D. -

Beautiful beach and comfortable home. I will book again and again.

Renee G. -

My family spent 5 days at this rental on Layton Key. It was exactly what we had hoped for. Beautiful quiet beach and the blue Atlantic as our backyard. A perfect deck with sun and shade. Gas grill, corn hole and bocce provided. A very adequate kitchen with all the necessities. The living space inside the house was a bit tight, but in reality we spend almost no time inside. 5 days with our 14 and 12 year old kids...the large screen tv literally never turned on. Enough said. I would definitely recommend to those who really know what the middle Keys are all about.
