We had an awesome trip! The property is beautiful and has lots to do. We did a lot of fishing and it was well accommodated for that. The dock was able to accommodate our 27 foot rental boat all week. Highly recommend. I would love to visit again.

Absolutely amazing trip - 100% worth it! Hosts/owners were fantastic, the place was clean and felt like a home away from home. The sunsets were amazing - and the fish we saw!! We saw nurse sharks, turtles, parrot fish, lobster, crab, stingrays etc. All from the doc. We even snorkeled and it was amazing. Excellent stay, we will be back!

My family and I stayed here for a week and had an incredible time! The house is beautiful and spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Our teenagers (14 & 17) loved the game room with shuffle board, PacMan, and Ping Pong. It also had bean bags, pool volleyball, floaties, and numerous board games. Pool is perfect and I would recommend paying the extra fee for heat. Well worth the cost! The outdoor patio / grill area was a favorite place to hang out and play games. We got to see multiple fish, sting rays, and a baby shark off the dock. One morning a family of dolphins even swam by. Amazing!!
The only issues were some contradicting information regarding checkout but Vacasa was prompt in responding and honored the original information sent to us. And the WiFi is very spotty. This didn’t bother us as we were there to enjoy the weather / scenery but if someone hoped to work remotely it may be difficult.
Highly recommended this place!! We will be back.

The house has a "wonderful perch", overlooking the Gulf. Plenty of places to hang out - whether on the porch in rockers, in the pool lounge chairs or even the hammock! Living room and dining room views superb as well. All house systems worked perfectly. While you need to drive a short distance to restaurants, the location allows an array of choices in either direction. Although none of us fished, this would be quite the place for that!

My family and I stayed here for 10 days Labor Day week. There were 7 adults and a 3 year old. We spent hours on end enjoying the snorkleing around the docks seeing tons of wildlife. Right from the docks we saw dolphins almost daily, sea turtles, stingray, sharks, and all kinds of different fish and birds. Having the pool was excellent for the 3 year old because the design allowed him to play in shallow enough water he could splash around and stand in, while the rest of us were able to swim in the deeper spots. The house was extremely well cleaned, and had absolutely all of the ammenities you need to feel at home. Never once did we wish for something to be different. The entire family plans to return back yearly, as there’s so much to do 10 days just isn’t enough time!

This place was great for our family of 6 (4 kids and 2 adults). We brought our boat down and the dock was great and easy to park on. The house was very nicely decorated. We did have a few issues with bugs in the house but that is kind of expected in Florida. There also was not an ice maker which was described in the listing when it listed the bait freezer was next to the ice maker. Overall, it was great and we enjoyed it. We cooked a lot, swam, played outside and caught a ton of lobster and fish.

This is the place! We were a family of 7, with 3 generations. This house was perfect!
The location put us in the middle of the Keys and gave us great access to everything. There was a lot to do very close the the house including the the Dolphin Research Center. We had plenty of room for everyone in the house -the primary suite is much bigger than pictured. The shower was great for getting tired kids clean fast, and great for adults needing a little luxury. The dining room table is huge, and the couch was a heat spot for doing puzzles. Outside was perfect -we used the pool for hours and hours daily. It was perfect for kids! We even had a family dance party with glow sticks. We enjoyed the fire pit and beautiful nights watching the sun set. We saw all sorts fish and sea life -checking for sharks became a thing we did multiple times a day. We caught so many fish off the dock that it was crazy -even caught a few sharks! The kayaks we’re great, we used them several times. Loved it!!

This house was absolutely amazing! The pictures don’t even do it justice. It was so well stocked with everything we needed, plus lots of extras like a ton of kayaks, pool floats, games, snorkel gear! We had 2 families stay for a week and had the most incredible time. The house is in an awesome location for fishing and lobstering and we had no issues parking our boat along the long dock. We would love to come back!

Wonderful property inside and out. The pool, dock, kayaks, outdoor kitchen, porches (and rocking chairs) …all value-adds that elevated a great house to a really fabulous vacation spot. Exceptionally clean, comfortable, well-appointed. This property will not disappoint.
