We purchased this house after renting in the Keys for many years, we got tired of looking so hard for good quality, clean homes to rent which were and are still very difficult to find. If you are looking for something 'nice' that the actual house looks 'better' than the pictures, that will provide for your family and friends a vacation where memories will be made, that will last a lifetime and that is impeccably clean inside-out, then this is your rental.

Unique Benefits
This is our only vacation house , we live only 1.5 hours away and we take care of the house as good as our main home. We have a handy man and his wife that live close by and are constantly doing stuff to the house, from cleaning, to maintaining, preventative care and I am also constantly " twicking " the house and updating and replacing everything that is needed.
This is our joy and pride and we spare no expense to keep it up and maintain it.
Why Kids Love It
Kids love it and adults too because of the diversity of the house, amenities and location. For the die hard fishing and diving people it is very close to access to ocean. Less than 7 to 9 minutes to the ocean access , even less to the bay. For those that don't participate on the above you have bicycles in the house to ride around the neighborhood, go to the private beach on the kayak, ghanoe or standup paddle board, rest or take a nap in one of the 3 hammocks at the house, go to downtown Islamorada, a short ride to the many shops, restaurants, cafe's, stores, nail & hair salons, spa's, grocery stores, ice cream places, souvenir stores, marinas to buy fresh fish, hotels, visit museum of diving, theater of the sea and much more.
These are just some of the reason's kids will love it and adults too.

Owner Info
Orlando & Iliana Abella
Year Purchased: 2001
About the owner: We are Orlando and Iliana Abella, we have lived in Miami since the early sixties and have been going to the Keys ever since. We bought this house as our main vacation house. We love fishing, diving, boating and the ambience and atmosphere of the Florida Keys, specially Islamorada and this location. Paradise, to relax, enjoy and share life's true riches of family and friends. When we don't use it it's available for rent.
Why this property? When we saw this house, it was ' love at first sight ' and still is, although many renovations and much remodeling has taken place and constant ' twicking ' . A few of the main benefits are its easy fast access to the bay and ocean, the pristine white sandy private community beach on the bay side, ( very unusual in the Keys ) and its neighborhood.
Since this is our only vacation house, we really take care of it constantly. Everything works, we keep it up with a very good handy man and his wife as the cleaning lady. Always updating , repairing, replacing, maintaining, cleaning inside and out. This house actually looks better in person than in the pictures and virtual tour and in most cases it is the opposite.

Perfect monthly rental in paradise...
This home has everything to offer for the fisherman and the rest of the family as well. Boat dock with easy access to the gulf. Private beach within walking distance. Kayaks, bicycles, beautifully furnished home. Comfortable beds and plenty of linens. Great kitchen, fully equipped. So nice to come home to after a day on the water. Lots of helpful information provided by owners in regards to fishing, restaurants in the area etc. A beautiful place for making memories. Dave and Petra Thompson
