Manatee Corner, Paradise Found

This home is a unique tropical paradise in Key Largo. Our kids named it Manatee Corner because it sits at the end of the canal and is often visited by friendly manatees. It is a large three-story duplex with a wraparound balcony. It has a canal that leads right out to the Atlantic, minutes from incredible deep-sea and backcountry fishing, spearfishing, snorkeling, or kicking back on one of the many nearby sandbars. It’s centrally located in Key Largo, just minutes from everything. The duplex features two thoughtfully designed private apartments. Each unit offers a master bedroom, a second bedroom, two full bathrooms, a spacious living room, an open dining area with dock views, and a fully equipped kitchen. Each apartment comfortably accommodates up to six guests. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows fill every room with natural light, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, while a large wraparound balcony provides the perfect setting for relaxing evenings. Guests also enjoy complimentary use of kayaks, fishing gear, and bicycles for exploring the town.

Unique Benefits

Our dock fits two boats between 20–30 feet or one larger boat up to 38 feet, and dock use is included with your stay. There’s plenty of parking for cars and trailers. Kick back on the spacious patio, fire up the BBQ, and share stories from a day full of adventures.

Why Kids Love It

Kids love it here—not just because the place itself is vibrant, but because being with family makes it truly special. We also offer Wi-Fi, streaming TV with Netflix, and a wide variety of other channels. They especially enjoy having their own bedroom, perfect for playing the board games we provide, and featuring a large window with stunning views of the canal and beautiful sunsets.

Area Information

We’re located in central Key Largo, just about a mile from Overseas Highway Mile Marker 100 on the Atlantic Ocean side, minutes from diving, fishing, snorkeling, glass-bottom boat tours, dive shops, restaurants, and countless other activities—without the noise of the crowds. Must-see experiences include John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, swimming with dolphins at Dolphins Plus, or chartering one of the many available aquatic adventures. In the evenings, a sunset dinner is the perfect way to end the day.

Attractions Within Walking Distance

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park offers a week’s worth of activities, from snorkeling and scuba diving to eco-tours and much more. Just a short walk from home, you can swim with dolphins at Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder, a non-profit marine mammal rescue (recommended). For families, Jacob’s Aquatic Park is perfect for kids of all ages, featuring a children’s water area and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. Nearby, Pilot House Marina offers private charters for everything from deep-sea fishing to reef snorkeling and is also home to the popular Pilot House and The Key Largo Fisheries restaurants, both just a ten-minute leisurely walk.

Favorite Places To Eat

Calling Key Largo a great place to eat is a serious understatement. Choosing a single favorite is impossible—there are over 50 restaurants within just five miles. Nearby, you’ll find Eco Eats for cheap and healthy options, the Pilot House and Key Largo Fisheries at the marina down the street, and Bayside Grill and Snooks for unforgettable sunsets. Cafe Largo, Key’s Bites, the Buzzard’s Roost, Doc’s Diner, and Mrs. Mac’s Kitchen all have their own charm and flavors.

A helpful tip is to go online to decide what activity you want to do and compare providers for the best deals—rates can vary for many reasons, and it never hurts to ask for a discount. If you’re heading to a sunset dinner, try to arrive early. Above all, the most important thing is to enjoy your trip—don’t let anything get in the way of that.
