Inside Scoop
If you get a chance don't forget to buy some Neutrogena Body Oil it really stops the bugs from biting the sprays are not as effective.
The local buy up all of the Neutrogena here so bring some with you!
The no see ups don't bit if it is windy (not strong enough to fly in the wind)
But they do come out about an hour at sunset and and an hour sunrise.
The rest of the day they are gone.
The best snorkeling is at Sombrero Reef near the Lighthouse.
Don't touch the coral reefs! The coral reefs are dying because people touch the coral - please don't ever touch it or it will die! The ocean fish needs the coral reef to survive. We are loosing our coral reefs because people don't realize you can't touch coral. People who try and catch lobster find them in the coral and instead of using the Lobster 'Ticklers' to coach them out they go in with their hads and touch the coral which kills the coral.

Our regular office hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST Monday through Sunday. Guests calling to place a reservation or those with general inquiries outside of office hours are able to leave messages on our voicemail system. Florida Keys Vacation Villas will do its utmost to reply to all voicemail messages within the next business day.
Do you provide toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo and soap?
Vacation rental properties “self-catering” accommodations. We provide complimentary starter soap, toilet paper, and trash bags. Once these items are used, it is the Guest’s responsibility to replenish them.
Do I need to heat the swimming pool and hot tub?
Yes. If you would like the spa to be heated you will need to order pool heating with your reservation $200 extra per week. A Hot Tub/spa is not able to be heated on its own. Spillover Spas are connected to the pool using the same water. There is no option to heat only the spa since it shares water with the pool.
When you chose to heat the pool in such a set-up, the pool and the spa will heat to a temperature around 80-84ºF. When you turn on the spa mode the system will adjust the valves automatically so that the water from the spa returns back to the spa. This will bypass the pool so the spa gets heated up to somewhere between 94 and 102ºF. If you leave it in Spa mode the pool won’t get any heated water but will cool down.
Will heating the swimming pool during the night cool down?
Yes, the pool heaters operate on a timer and they are set to turn on in the morning and turn off in the evening. The pool will cool off overnight when the temperature drops. During colder winter months, heating the pool can be challenging when the water temperature drops overnight. Florida has a temperate climate but we sometimes get cold fronts from the north that can cause overnight temperatures in the low 30’s and 40’s. Under such circumstances the pool heater will not be able to keep the water at 84ºF. This is especially true when the pool heat is provided by an electric heat pump and the outside temperature drops below 55ºF. Electric heating pumps don’t operate efficiently below such temperatures and fail to heat the pool to the desired temperature. This is outside of the Company’s control and regarded as an act of nature. Please note that cold weather does NOT constitute as mechanical failure and no refunds will be given for problems relating to cold weather.
How close is Sombrero Beach to the house?
We are in walking distance of 2 blocks if you want to walk to Sombrero Beach.
Parking is free at Sombrero Beach so you can take the car too.

Look no further!
Seriously, there is nothing our family wanted for at this property. Liz and Captain Bob were great, providing us with bikes, sand volleyball, bags, an amazing dock...but the highlight was the outdoor kitchen! I don't know how I will live without it now. It was so nice to be able to cook, outside, with the entire family there enjoying every moment!This location couldn't be better, just steps from Sombrero beach. They even provided multiple wagons to haul the 8 beach chairs that were at the house...and coolers ;).I have never gotten better sleep. The beds were comfy and there was plenty of space for the entire group of 12. We could have slept 16 comfortably! Liz was more than gracious to send us links to boat rentals, a packing list, attractions near by and the recommendation to bring Neutrogena body oil for mosquitos. We couldn't have loved our stay more and will definitely be back!
