Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an ocean view.
No ocean view from the condo, as described. However the property is on the ocean and has a packed sand beach.
What's there to do in Key Largo.
The Keys are a tropical location. Water sports are the most common reason for this destination: Fishing, Boating, Diving, Snorkeling, Kayaking, Jet Skiing, Swim with the Dolphins and just plain old swimming: choose the ocean, 2 pools or the saltwater lagune. Of course there are an abundance of restaurants along the shores, Ocean side and Bayside, offering incredible sunsets....a daily event, but an event not to be missed. Not to mention the warm weather in the Winter Season! Great jumping off point for exploring all of the Florida Keys, even a day trip to Key West. Check out the nearby Alligator farm and go for an airboat ride. Close enough to Miami if you choose to leave the "rock" for more shopping at the malls or outlet shopping. There's something for everyone. The property also offers 2 tennis courts, a Marina and free use of boat ramp. Cast a line from the Jetty, you may catch bait, don't expect much else...the shoreline is shallow.

Thank you. So pleased you enjoyed. You are welcome back.
ScottExactly as Described
We stayed at Carol’s Kawama Tower condo recently, the condo is exactly as she describes and very homey. The kitchen is exquisite with ample matching place settings and “real” silverware and other utensils (my wife commented every time we used the silverware how nice it was to have heavy matching silver not mismatched cheap pieces of tin). Kitchen had all needed appliance for us (coffee maker, toaster oven, large microwave, etc. King sized bed was worthy of a good nights sleep and bathrooms decent sized.We stayed 2 weeks with no problems, the condo location is in a quiet area and felt very safe. Very friendly people within the “community” pool area was good walk out pier was great place to see sunrises and sunsets. Condo has washer and dryer which is always a plus to have access to your own versus a central condo laundry. There isn’t really much of a water view from the unit but a walk around the corner of the building fixes that.The condo was very clean and was probably the first place we stayed that we didn’t clean when we arrived for our stay! Carol is very detailed in all instructions and processes before, durning and after the rental process. She also has put togeteher her “favorites” guide to help with eating joints and places to go. We would definitely stay again at Carol’s Tower condo unit.

Of course I'm always pleased to know that my attention to detail and that the effort I've put into making my condo a comfortable, convenient and functional for most needs is appreciated by guests. Repeat guests are always welcome. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and so graciously shared your comments. Thank you.
THOMAS F.Great Value!
This is a well kept condo on 3rd floor facing the parking lot. It has everything you could need as well as more than you would expect. It is a short walk to the ocean and has 3 pools that were not overcrowded. People are friendly and there are many good places to eat nearby. Carol promptly answers a phone call or email and is genuinely concerned about making sure her guests have whatever they need. We would definitely come back. Traffic in the Keys can be real slow at certain times though so be ready for that.

Kawama Yacht Club
After extensive research of the various keys my husband and I settled on Key Largo. He is a scuba diver and I prefer to stay on top of the water. We rented Carol's condo in Kawama Yacht Club, and we were extremely happy with our selection. The King size bed was comfortable and having two bathrooms was convenient. There are plenty of spices in the cabinets if you want to cook. Also, there are starter supplies of paper towels and bathroom paper. The grounds are well manicured and maintained and the pool was a refreshing way for me to spend my morning as husband was diving. Key Largo has a vast array of restaurants and most have a nightly band. Carol supplies a recommended list of activities and restaurants and we frequented most. The Reef Roamer Snorkel tour was a highlight for me. I look forward to a return trip to the Keys, and we will definitely rent from Carol again.

Condo like home
This condo has been cared for like a home. All the comforts of home. Appliance are top notch. The beds are extremely comfortable. Everything was clean and fresh. A few supplies were available so we did not need to immediately head to the store. Things were exactly as described. Will try to come back here.
