So many amenities, I could have left lots of things at home. Kids enjoyed the pool and snorkeling in the gulf. Guest services brought a blender for us some the one in the house didn’t work. Great fall stay in the keys!

Amazing stay!

Do not hesitate to stay here. We were in heaven for an entire week! The home is beautiful and has so much more than any rental home we have stayed in. The beds were extremely comfortable with a lot of extra pillows, blankets. They supplied an abundance of bath towels and even beach towels The kitchen was well equipped with everything! The dock was the best part as we saw many fish and small sand sharks daily. The sunsets were spectacular and the pool was nice. The outdoor entertaining area was great to sit and relax to cool off. There is everything you need on the outside and inside the home. Vacasa was extremely helpful and responded quickly to our questions. I would rate this property a 10,000 if I could ! We had a wonderful time here and definitely plan to return.

Outstanding!

We had an amazing stay at this incredible home in the Keys! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with plenty of towels, extra pillows and blankets, everything we needed for a fun and relaxing vacation. The kayaks and fishing right off the dock were absolute highlights for our family;We spent hours enjoying the water. The location was also perfect, close to everything we needed while still feeling peaceful and private. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and can’t wait to come back!
