About this rental
Our home is a unique tropical paradise in Key Largo. Our kids named it Manatee Corner for the friendly visiting Manatees. It’s a three-story duplex, open concept with a wrap around balcony. We are blessed with a canal that opens to the Atlantic Ocean providing direct access to the most incredible fishing and snorkeling the only living coral barrier reef in the Continental United State. You can also just relax in one of the numerous sand bars. We are in central Key Largo minutes from everything. The Duplex is composed of two tastefully designed private apartments. Each unit has one Master bedroom a second bedroom, two bathrooms, living room, a full kitchen with open dining and views of dock. They each sleep six guests comfortably. Every room has huge glass windows and doors to bring the outside in and a huge wrap around balcony to talk the nights away. Included are kayaks, fishing gear, and bikes to cruise the town.
Unique Benefits
Our dock can hold 2 boats between 20' and 30' or 1 large 38' and use is included with the rent. We have plenty of parking for cars and trailer. We are centrally located in Key Largo, minutes from everything. And of course a large patio to gather and reflect the days adventures over the BBQ.
Why Kids Love It
Kids love being here because its a nice place but its really all about being with the family that makes this truly special. We also have WI-Fi, streaming television with Netflix and a multitude of other channels. They mostly enjoy their own bedroom to play with the games we provide, and a huge window overlooking the Canal and beautiful sunsets.
Area Information
We are in central Key Largo approximately one mile from the Overseas Highway mile marker 100, on the Atlantic Ocean side. Minutes to several diving, fishing, snorkeling, bottom glass charters, dive shops, restaurants and a host of other things, but not to close to the noise. Must-do's are: John Pennekamp Park, and for the adventurer is swimming with Dolphins at Dolphins Plus, or Chartering one of the many to choose from aquatic activities. In the evenings a sunset dinner is a must.
Attractions Within Walking Distance
The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park has a week’s load of activities, snorkeling, SCUBA, Eco tours and a host of other things. Also, you can swim with Dolphins at our favorite place, “Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder” walking distance from home and it’s a non-profit Marine Mammal rescue. For the kiddies young and old Jacob’s Aquatic Park is an option, it has a kids water area and an Olympic swimming pool. The Pilot house Marina just down the street provides many private charter services from deep sea fishing to just snorkeling the reefs. This is also home of the popular Pilot House restaurant and The Largo Fisheries restaurant, only a brief ten minute walk .
Favorite Places To Eat
To say that Key Largo has great places to eat is a gross understatement. If you asked which is my favorite I honestly would not be able to answer that. There's over 50 restaurants within five miles. So I'll mention as many as I can that are near by; Eco Eats (cheap & healthy), Pilot House and Key Largo Fisheries are at the Marina down the Street, Bay-side Grill (Sunset), Snooks (Sunsets), Cafe Largo, Key's Bites, Buzzards Roost, D J's Diner, and Mrs. Mac's Kitchen. This is only the tip of the Iceberg.
Inside Scoop
A good tip is to get on the computer or phone, identify what activity you want to do and see which provider has the best deals, They change rates based on many factors, and it never hurts to ask for a discount. If you are going to a sunset dinner get there early.
*Most important is "ENJOY YOUR TRIP" don't allow anything to disrupt that.

About the owner: We live and work in Miami. The keys is the perfect get away to enjoy the Sub-Tropic weather and Ocean without leaving the Continent. Our family and friends for years have enjoyed the Key Largo activities and mostly the laid back atmosphere. It is truly a Paradise.
Why this property? This property is a blessing for its unique qualities, but we mostly enjoy the variety of activities that the area provides. We can snorkel or fish in the morning, relax in the sand bar at noon and eat a wonderful dinner at our favourite restaurant as the sun sets. We have truly enjoyed our home and hope you will also.

Great Place! Awesome Host!!
I have been renting in Key Largo for 10 years The unit I had rented became unavailable. This unit had all items needed and if there was something else I need the owner took care of it right away. The owner responded to all my texts within minutes with any questions or items I needed. The unit was spotless. I had family coming to Key Largo and there was a second room I need. The owners entire family all pitch in help him get the room ready for their arrival. Loved the large outdoor porch with chairs and tables. Ate many meals out side on the porch. Plenty of off street parking. The unit is centrally located in Key Largo and is near many of my favorite restaurants and shopping centers. If you are looking for for a place in Key Largo I highly recommend this unit.

Perfect Place in Key Largo for Boaters
Manatee Corner is a great place to stay in Key Largo with a boat slip easily accommodating a 30 foot boat and room to park your trailer. Mario Medina is an excellent host, very responsive with a charming family if you are lucky enough to meet them during your stay. The place is spotlessly clean, comfortable and includes all the provisions to make this your home away from home. He stopped by with some of the best mangoes I have ever tasted from his tree in Homestead. The canal which serves Pilot House Marina opens to the Atlantic side of Key Largo and is extremely convenient to the John Pennekamp Marine Park reefs. We were able to snorkel 14 sites during our recent stay from our 29 foot Ranger Tug, the Selkie. The place is walking distance to Pilot House Marina as well as Snooks and the Bayside Sunset Bar & Grill for sunset drinks and dining on the Gulf side. The place is 4 miles from the John Pennekamp State Park entrance, with its convenient ramp to drop your boat in as well as other attractions. We loved our stay.

The Unit is in Key Largo and near many local places of interest, Penny Camp State Park, Theater of the Sea, Dive Centers, numerous restaurants, bars, marinas and local hot spots. A very nice area for adult and family activities.

Key Largo Relaxation in Style.
We enjoyed our stay very much. We are 2 retired couples looking to relax in the warm February Key Largo weather. The condo was 100% as promised. All rooms were nice sized and very comfortable. The wraparound porch is where we spent a lot of our time when at the condo. It had a covered patio and barbecue essentials. It was also well located near all the places and restaurants we wanted to visit . I would gladly rent it again, if we have the chance, and it fit into our schedule. The owner is friendly and very attentive. We had a great time and would highly recommend this property to all, young, older and families!
