Fishermen's Paradise | Pool, 220' Dock & Open-Water Views
Summary:
Welcome to Fishermen's Paradise, a beautifully appointed open-water retreat on Big Pine Key. Enjoy a private heated pool, 220 feet of dockage for one guest boat, outstanding access to the backcountry, Gulf and Atlantic, and frequent visits from the island's famous Key Deer. This Lower Keys escape is designed for unforgettable days on and off the water.
The Space:
Welcome to your perfect island retreat on Big Pine Key. Freshly remodeled and thoughtfully designed, this three-bedroom, four-bath waterfront home combines modern comfort with the natural beauty of the Lower Florida Keys. With 2,000 square feet of elevated living space, a private resort-style pool, private dockage for one guest boat and sweeping open-water views, this is the ideal place to relax, explore and enjoy life on the water.
Boaters and anglers will appreciate the exceptional waterfront setup. Guests are welcome to dock one boat at the property during their stay, in accordance with Monroe County regulations. The like-new 220-foot dock offers some of the best boating access in the Lower Keys, with approximately 5 feet of water depth at the end of the dock. Amenities include a step-down platform, swim ladder, power, water and an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day on the water. From here, you'll enjoy quick access to the backcountry flats, Gulf waters and the Atlantic, making it easy to spend your days fishing, diving, snorkeling or exploring the countless islands and sandbars that make the Lower Keys so special.
Anglers will appreciate the dedicated bait freezer located downstairs, along with a selection of fishing rods available for guest use. After a day on the water, enjoy a game of cornhole while taking in the waterfront setting.
Want to explore beyond the boat? A local outfitter can deliver bikes, kayaks and paddleboards directly to the property. Your property manager can also provide recommendations for fishing charters, boat rentals and other local adventures.
Inside, you'll find a beautifully updated kitchen equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to fresh-catch dinners. A wine cooler and small ice maker make entertaining easy. To make your arrival even more relaxing, guests may arrange grocery delivery through their preferred delivery service before check-in, and we'll gladly place everything inside the home so your vacation can begin the moment you walk through the door.
Each bedroom serves as a private retreat with its own en-suite bathroom, generous storage space and smart TV with DirecTV Stream.
Outside, unwind by the resort-style pool and take in the open-water views. The pool is heated from mid-October through mid-April, making it comfortable to enjoy during the cooler months. An outdoor refrigerator keeps drinks close at hand, while a selection of pool toys adds to the fun for guests of all ages. Keep an eye out for the island's famous Key Deer, which are frequently spotted passing through the property. Found only in the Lower Florida Keys, these endangered miniature deer provide a unique wildlife-viewing opportunity that many guests remember long after their stay.

What a wonderful house and location. Our family of 7 stayed with room for everyone, with plenty of parking although not necessary in our situation. Plenty of Key Deer came to visit, we caught fish off the dock every night and used the dock for our center console for daily fishing trips. Already trying to plan another trip with the family or friends for next year. Booking was easy with the property manager being very helpful.
This house had everything we could ask for! Beautiful water views and a pool that was the perfect temperature! The house was very clean, and well equipped. We loved that it was hidden from the main street but close enough to the grocery and liquor store. Karen was very helpful and always answered my questions. I highly recommend this place!
We stayed for 4 nights in this beautiful home with our family ages 14-55. The kids never left the dock! They had great fun fishing. The older kids loved the pool. Everyone enjoyed the amazing view that you see from the large open floor plan and wrap around deck. Three bedroom and four bathrooms meant everyone had their own private bathroom. We could have stayed for weeks!
Property was beautiful, super clean, exactly how it was described. Plenty of room for 3 adult couples to relax, fish, cook and have fun. The deer visitors were an added bonus!
Only change we would make is an upgrade to the mattresses. But maybe we are just old and picky.
This is a property we will definitely be renting again.
We were a 3 generation family staying with ages ranging from teens to eighties. The house was comfortable, spacious, and has a gorgeous view. We would spend the evening playing games in the large common area and retreat to our bedrooms with private baths for bedtime. The Key Deer were a highlight of the trip visiting us at dusk each evening. We cooked a full meal for Thanksgiving and had all the tools we needed and it had a fully stocked spice cabinet - lots of paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags - no need to buy these things. We rented a boat, kayaks and paddle boards with easy access to the water from the dock. 10 out of 10!
This property was great. Beautiful view, private pool and dock for the boat. The house was clean and cool. It had a storage area underneath by the car ports for all our fishing/diving gear. It had decent amenities such as cooking utensils, pool toys and such. However, I would recommend that they get a larger grill. The grill is small, maybe can cover 2-3 people. Clean linens and comfortable beds. It has an open floor plan that makes a great gathering area for games and eating. Karen, the property host was always available for questions and if there were any issues. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it to others looking for that off the path, private family vacation.

If I had to say 1 thing an it was very minor is maybe have an umbrella set up for pool area an maybe on wrap around porch table for ppl who sit outside a lot . Honestly this place is perfect
Also whoever does the cleaning does a top job !! Cleanest place I have ever rented on VRBO
Thank you for an amazing time
Loved the open layout and simplicity of this house! The pool was just right and the open water/long range deck was so nice for fishing and playing around.
This place is perfect for up to 3 couples traveling together. We loved the privacy of the back deck and beach with access to bars and restaurants nearby. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are 2 refrigerators! The washer and dryer also came in handy!
I’ll give 5 stars because 99% of the house is good …..but ….fyi for owner ….the mattress in the master bedroom needs to go ….it met its lifespan years ago!!!!
We had a group of 7 for our vacation and this house provided more than ample room. Was fully stocked with everything we needed. The sunrise view was amazing. The location was perfect. A short ride to Key West or Marathon. Plenty of outdoor seating. The boat ramp was not far for us to launch the boat and plenty of parking for the trailer. Had a small issue with pool but Karen had that taken care of in less than an hour. She answered any questions we had immediately. Wonderful to work with. I would recommend this place to anyone looking. We were there for 5 nights. Our next trip will be much longer.
This was one of the best experiences we’ve had in the Florida Keys. An excellent property and experience. Highly recommend it. The property manager (Karen) was also very helpful and easy to work with.
The location was very nice and secluded. The house was perfect for a family of five. The pool was great spent a lot of time in it. Lots to do in the area. The only complaint we had is the master bedroom bed mattress needs to be replaced. It seemed like it was very old possibly even broken communication with Karen was perfect. Everything about the trip was good :)
Great house! Views are incredible and location can’t be beat. While the boys were fishing we hit a beach and did some shopping. Did a little snorkeling right off a small island on a sand bar right across from the house. Kitchen and dining were great for meals for a crowd. Deck and downstairs patio were perfect for coffee with views and cocktails and cornhole. Cooled off in the pool every night. Overall great stay!
Beautiful home! Beautiful view of the gulf. Perfect home for groups to stay with plenty of seating areas and an open layout. Very clean. Property manager was very helpful and responsive.
This house is set up for 3 Couples and maybe one other. The living area is massive and has multiple couches that you can use for sleeping. Comfortable beds, well stocked with cooking items, utensils and nice updated house. 4 full bathrooms with showers and tubs in 2. On Stilts so not good for handicap individuals, but awesome views. Local neighbor was great and the area residence... Key Deer were so adorable. I was so happy to greet them daily. Close to Town Big Pine Key and only 25 miles to Key West this place is perfect. Easy access to boat ramps and long pier to tie your boats to and fishing from dock is aloud also. View View Sunset and Sunrise is awesome.
We will be back! Thank you very much. Host was easily accessable. I messaged her once for a quick questions and she answered quickly. Great place!

Way over priced for location, especially all the added fees.Money may be warranted for Islamorada or Key West but not weather worn This area of Big Pine
