Absolutely Perfect Place!

We stayed in this home for a week with my family (6 adults and 4 children) and we all enjoyed it very much! The views are spectacular, especially sunsets at night; the home was immaculate and well equipped with everything and anything you could possibly need on a vacation. We cooked several meals there and found the kitchen to be as well stocked with culinary items as our own home. The beds were all so comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked too. We LOVED the location, watching boats come and go, even though we didn't have our own. And you can walk to a fantastic little place across the bridge to have ice cream and tour a beautiful gift shop. I highly recommend this home to anyone wanting a 5-star vacation!!

10/10 Wonderful!

My recent stay in the Florida Keys was absolutely wonderful, thanks to this fantastic vacation rental. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the well-equipped kitchen, the well-stocked closet with pool floats, beach blankets, chairs, and anything else you would want to enjoy a day on the water! A minor downside was a busy road nearby which could be seen and heard from the backyard, but it didn't detract much from the otherwise tranquil setting.

Beautiful FLA Keys rental

We rented this beautiful home for a multi generation vacation. I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was. The home is very well equipped and just very comfortable. Our party ranged in age from 2-79 years.The pool area is fantastic as are all of the items available for swimming, fishing and playing games.We all agreed that we would definitely rent again. As an added bonus Key West was a great day trip.Meredith was wonderful to work with

Perfect Location for Boating & Fun!

We just returned from the keys for a week long vacation before the new school year starts. This property was absolutely amazing. It’s located right on Vaca Cut, so for boating this property provides easy access to both the bay side & Gulf side. Whether you like fishing, snorkeling or hanging out at a sandbar this property is perfect.As for the house and the amenities, I have never stayed anywhere with the amount of thought put into accommodating their guests. From the beautiful pool, to all of the outdoor games like ping pong tables, axe throwing, life size connect 4, a closet full of every game you can think of, paddle boards & so much more. You and your family/friends will not be disappointed.The inside of this property is spacious with a perfect layout of 5 beds/4 baths (1 bedroom with a queen downstairs & the other 4 upstairs). Everyone in our group commented on how comfortable the beds were, which is always perk when traveling. They have a dining room table that fits 10-12 people, making dinner with everyone special each night. The kitchen was loaded with everything you could think of to help with meal prep and cooking.Lastly, this property was extremely clean and very well taken care of by the owner & property management company. They were very helpful when needed and always available, which was nice. We will definitely be back in the new future!

We had a wonderful stay! Memories made that will last a lifetime!

Everything was perfect with this property. They have EVERYTHING you would ever think of. We overpacked not knowing the selection of things that would be there. From family games, to pool equipment, fishing equipment and a fully well-stocked kitchen! We have stayed at numerous vacation rentals over the years and this one is definitely one of the best... TOP NOTCH!

Spring Break Palace

From the moment we booked the property, Meredith and team were wonderful to work with. The house was clean, spacious, and close to many activities. We booked with another family, and had 4 adults with 4 kids(5-12 years), and we all had a blast. The adjacent dock allowed for fishing, and had lots of marine life at night. We stayed a week, and it was perfect!
