Misses the mark of luxury
Loved the property and had a great time but the luxury in the listing was not there. The biggest issue being the pergola in the pictures was gone and replaced with a single umbrella. The string lights in the backyard were broken and the majority of items were powered by extension cords laying on the ground, many with tripped breakers. The pool/hot tub was unable to be controlled and we needed to text someone whenever we wanted a change. The outdoor cinema experience was a projector in a box that needed to be setup with an extension cord, also fed by a tripped GFCI breaker. The front gate was knocked off its hinges and the dishwasher was broken. Had a great time but the luxury price was not met with a luxury experience.

The Florida keys
The overall evaluation was very good. We enjoyed the house and location It would have been more enjoyable if we had a dock extending from beach into the ocean. We have had this on previous rentals and I know what a difference it makes, especially for the children.

Not so Sensational
This “Sensational Ocean Front Villa” as described in the summary has seen better times. It appears to have at one time been a beautiful property, but time has taken its toll, and its’ now dilapidated appearance and thrifty amenities need attention. Upon arrival at the property a once beautiful iron gate to guard against traffic is now lying on its side, useless to prevent pets and children from straying on to the always busy Overseas Highway. The ‘lush tropical landscaping’ is now ridden with leaf debris, palm fronds and weeds throughout the unkempt property and pool. Our daily chores included skimming the pool and hot tub, adding water to the pool due to the level dropping and sweeping the area to remove debris. The nice outdoor fire pit lost its appeal due to the moldy cushions. This open layout home is nice with supposedly a “fully equipped kitchen.” Be sure to stock up on all necessities including salt and pepper, condiments, wine opener, bagged ice, (even though there are 2 refrigerators and no working ice maker!) soap (small chips one finds at 1*motels), matches or grill lighter. The essentials provided by this supposedly 5* property are minimal and economy oriented. The toilets have issues flushing and getting blocked since pressure is very low but fear not there are plenty of plungers! We informed the property manager early on of these issues, but never received a response. Unfortunately, in its current condition at this price point, look elsewhere.

A gem in the Keys!
This is truly a hidden gem in the Keys. Everything the listing shows is true- a perfect beach, an incredible old world pool, a beautiful classic house. Our entire group had an incredible stay - from my 75 year old mother who loved sitting on the porch watching to the sunset, to my two daughters who spent entire days in the pool, to my wife and I who enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen and the location to tons of activities and restaurants. This is truly a gem - we have stayed in a number of places in the Keys and this is our absolute favorite. And Jim is a great and courteous host. Would definitely return here again!

Great Private Beachfront House
My family of 7 adults stayed at Paradise Beach in October, 2021. We loved the property. The pool and hot tub with a view of the ocean was superb. The house was wonderful and homey. Jim made everything very easy. If you are not familiar with beaches in the keys...you can't walk this beach - it is all private homes. There is a walking trail across the street. The water while we were there was clear but not very deep and you definitely need water shoes as there a lot of rocks but it is beautiful. 10/10 would love to return! Thanks, Jim!

Paradise Found
From last minute booking up to checking out, everything was so easy and the house was gorgeous! We really needed a getaway and this house provided it in spades! The salt water pool and spa is amazing, and the beachfront views are sublime! Many a sunrise was photographed. We had kayaks and a paddle board delivered to the house, and enjoyed endless hours on the water. We even saw a fever of stingrays and horseshoe crabs! The kitchen is a chef’s dream! Loved cooking and grilling, this house has all of the amenities. We did so much while we were there and ate at all of the great restaurants! Everything is close by like Publix, Robbies, Islamorada Fish Company, Pierre’s, the Green Turtle Inn (fantastic for Sunday brunch & breakfast selections) and so much more. We took the kids to the Aquarium (a surprising treat) and even spent a day of eating, drinking and shopping in Key West. There was plenty of room for our family of five and we will definitely be back! Jim is amazing and makes sure you are settled in and is just a text or phone call away if you have any questions. I highly recommend this well appointed home for your next vacation.

Our family (ranging from grandparents to infants) loved staying here. The home is beautiful, the view of the sunrise is stunning, and the pool was the perfect place to play. We enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding just off the beach. The location was central to so many activities. And to top it off, the property owner was a delight to work with!

This was our first trip tot the Keys, and this was everything we hoped for in a house & location for our adult family and more! Jim & Linda were AMAZING from the beginning - excellent communication and helpfulness. And we can t say enough good things about the house - clean, organized, well stocked, comfy, great pool, and ocean front lounging. We snorkeled off the quiet beach and were in a quiet area close enough to restaurants and activities. We can’t wait to rent this house from Jim again!

Outstanding family vacation
We stayed at this beautiful property for a week and let me start off with saying thank you to Jim and his wife for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home In islamoralda. The property was the perfect size for my family, my sisters family, brother, and my parents. Everything was clean and in order when we arrived, but what caught our eye right away was the spectacular view of the pool, spa and the ocean. To say we were outside all day would be an understatement. Every minute of beautiful Florida sun there was, we were outside enjoy the amenities of the property. Kitchen: The kitchen was large and had all the necessities we needed to cook for all the family we had. Most of the appliances were newer and everything was labeled very well. The dining room was next to the kitchen, and was large. We could fit our whole family at the table for breakfast lunch and dinner. We were even able to spend a couple of nights all around the table playing games. Bedrooms:Every family had their own room. All the rooms were good size and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Again, everything is labeled, which makes everything very recognizable. Three of the four bedrooms had balconies, which 2 were accessible (one was blocked for safety reasons being on the third floor). One bedroom was seaside and one was road side, but no matter which deck you were on, you experienced great views, relaxation and tranquility. Pool/spa: salt water pool and spa. Again, we spent A LOT of time in here. The pool isn’t very deep ( deepest part before spa is probably 5 ish to 5 foot 5 inches. Around the spa, is a perfect place for small kids to play around, splash and play with toys and this is what my 2 year old and my nephew did all week. The spa is very nice. We had a small issue figuring out how to get it to work, but Jim was quick to respond and help us understand how it operated. The spa also has a waterfall edge that flows into the pool, so my one complaint for the spa would be we had to add water to the spa a couple of times, which is no issues for us. Beachfront: right after the pool and spa is the beach that goes down to the ocean. Good amount of beach for kids, and adults to play and enjoy. There are two chairs on the beach which is the perfect spot for sunrises and sunsets. A lot of time with coffee and beer was enjoyed here. Here’s my complaint. Very Rocky and a lot of seaweed. Would like to see this addressed for next time. LOVED THIS PROPERTY.Will be back

Thanks for the great review Drew. Your and your family were great guests, and we would be pleased to host you again! The pictures do not do the sunrise justice, its heaven spending the morning on the beach, with the sand between your toes, waves lapping, ocean breeze and palms…it really is PARADISE!! Our next favorite spot is sitting on the back porch by a coffee or adult beverage with the barbeque going. I can’t wait to get there myself! The Florida Keys are coral and that makes it a bit rocky, but that’s what gives us the turquoise water, abundant fish life and beautiful colorful reefs. We always wear pool shoes when swimming and walking the water. The pool fills through the spa, it’s fully automated and there is no need to manually fill it. We should have provided clearer instructions.

Perfect location, BEAUTIFUL property!!
Our family of 8 from Minnesota just checked out after a wonderful 7 day vacation here. The location is PERFECT. Close to Robbie’s to feed the tarpon, close to island restaurants, and within 10 miles of all the souvenir shopping you can dream of! The view from the home is amazing. Ocean views, beautiful well manicured landscaping, everything you dream of for an island getaway! We loved the beautiful, well designed pool and hot tub. Being from Minnesota, we thoroughly enjoyed the grill and outdoor poolside chairs- plenty of room for all of us to spread out and enjoy the Florida sun! The house has plenty of room inside to relax and refresh at the end of the day. The kitchen is well stocked with many appliances including a keurig, toaster, regular coffee maker, blender, microwave, and utensils and dishes. Everything you could need! Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home!!

Very spacious & comfortable home, Was very blessed to have found this gem! Kitchen was fully stocked and had enough room for multiple people to work in there at one time.

Special place indeed
My family (6 of us representing 3 generations) spent a week at Paradise Beach and we really did not want to leave. My two young grandchildren, son and two dau- in- laws felt the same. Everyone had a private space to retreat to within this beautiful home, which was important to us. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was larger than shown and quite immaculate, we felt safe and right at home. The views are heavenly and the pool area was well used, for sure. We even played badminton on the beach one night ! Jim, the owner, could not have been nicer and Joanne, the property manager - very accessible and helpful. The location is wonderful for easy access to all the Florida keys. I would return in a heartbeat. It fit exactly as the bucket list vacation I had imagined for us all. If you are questioning booking a stay here - don’t hesitate - it’s perfection.

The property was everything and more that you see in the pictures. Plenty of room for my wife and I, our two teenage children and my parents. Everything was exceptionally clean when we arrived and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, cups and silverware along with essential cooking items. The views from the backyard were gorgeous and the pool is amazing. Jim checked in on us when we arrived and you could tell when he said to contact him with any issues he really meant it. Through the whole rental process he was so friendly and easy to deal with. The only negative is something that was completely out of anyone’s control. There is a large amount of seaweed that is all over the entire Florida area. That only made the beautiful pool more valuable to have. Would definitely rent with Jim again.

Convenient to lots of great restaurants and shops and there is plenty to do in the area, both on and off the water. We are already planning next year’s vacation and it was a unanimous vote to stay at one of Jim’s properties. The owner was great to deal with and very accommodating.

Fabulous Vacation
Our family enjoyed a tremendous vacation at this property in Islamorada! The home is immaculate and extremely spacious! The views are beautiful and the pool is divine. The location of this house can't be beat. It's very private, but just a short drive to any of the "must see and do" stops and all of the wonderful restaurants. Jim, the owner was sensational to work with and made it so easy and welcoming while planning this trip. We cooked at home 3 nights and the kitchen/grill were extremely well appointed. We enjoyed the pool every single day. It's the perfect way to unwind after a long day of fishing, shopping, or touring the other keys. One note to anyone that has never been to the Keys... the beach is more of a rocky entry. My husband and boys still loved walking out in their crocs to paddle board, kayak and wade fish. There is also some seaweed that is present everywhere in the keys and most of the tropics this time if year. It can't be controlled or avoided, but just something to be aware of. We have decided that Islamorada is our favorite location in the Keys and that we would most definitely look forward to returning to this property! This is a perfect home for a large family or group of friends who want a beautiful home to fully enjoy the gorgeous Keys!

Fabulous Property and House!
Our family rented this property for our first trip to Islamorada. Everything was according to specification and we all enjoyed immensely, including our 2-yr-old! The pool and spa were great for relaxing and the property owner was great! I will caution that if you want to go in the ocean, you will definitely want to bring water shoes and bug spray as getting through the decomposing seaweed on the beach is a bit gross (cannot be removed by law). Otherwise, a fantastic find! Thanks, Jim!!

Gorgeous View - The perfect serene get-away!
This house is located in Islamorada, in the FL Keys. It is in a fairly quiet area, which boasts gorgeous Atlantic views, a private beach, salt water pool and spa, and plenty of room for a large group. You absolutely cannot beat this view! The house itself is large, and has plenty of room for families and adults alike. We had 7 adults, and had plenty of room to spread out, but also to prepare meals and eat together. There is a walking path across the street from the house, which is great for morning jogs, and keeps you off the main road.

Beautiful location
The property is beautiful and we had a great stay with our grandchildren. Altogether there were 4 adults and 2 children aged 1 and 4. The property manager and owner were extremely responsive and we really appreciated that. We loved the quality linens, towels, kitchen supplies, large dining table and Smart TV. The hardwood floors are a beautiful change from tile flooring and made the home feel very warm and inviting. The crown molding is gorgeous. The outdoor pool and spa were fantastic and heated up quickly! The views are just simply amazing! The reasons we are not giving it a 5 are: 1) the freezer wasn't working and we went several days without the fridge making ice, however once we notified the property manager she had someone out there the next day; 2) the cleaning was good, but there was a lot of sand in the bedrooms and around all the rug areas, and the baseboards and kitchen cabinets are badly in need of being cleaned; 3) the bathroom fixtures are very old and rusty in some bathrooms, and the tap for hot water in the master bath tub and attic room shower was actually for cold water and vice versa which was confusing; 4) the patio area surrounding the pool could use updating, it is quite uneven and was challenging for our grandchildren to navigate comfortably. Notes for future renters, the washer and dryer are great but you do need to leave the door open so the dryer can function properly and not error as it needs to have an air flow. Also, there is an unusual build up of seaweed on the beach this year and it is home to many biting bugs. We moved quite a bit with the rake however you won’t want your children wandering into the seaweed without some protection. Overall this was a very good experience for our family and we can definitely see ourselves making this an annual stay. Thank you Mr. Chota!

Hi Cheryl, Thanks for being our guest and we are glad you and your party enjoyed Paradise Beach. We pride ourselves in being responsive and were able to get a sub-zero technician for the refrigerator in the next morning to fix the ice maker. I was told by my property manager that you did call regarding the housekeeping and turned down her offer to send housekeeping back to the house. Housekeeping usually does a great job, but it looks like they missed some items and we notified them regarding your comments. Located directly on the ocean the salt breeze tends to tarnishes metal quickly and especially brass.

A Great Week at Paradise Beach!
We had a great time at the house! The weather did not cooperate for all the things we wanted to do (snorkeling and fishing) because the wind was a consistent 20-30 for five days. That made the house and the property much more important to us and our friends. The pool and spa were used every day. We played beach croquet (interesting approach to a timeless game). Never got tired of watching the sunrise out of the ocean. Breakfast, family style around the large table (we were eight and it sat eight) was perfect. Many dinners at the house (nice large kitchen). Cocktails on the beach or around the pool every night watching the palm trees sway in the breeze. The bedrooms were very spacious and comfortable. Location between Key West and Key Largo made field trips very easy. The cottage style of the house is spectacular vintage Keys, but the amenities including the kitchen and flat screen TVs were modern and top notch. A very enjoyable time was had by all!

Beautiful home, beautiful key,perfect place for multiple families
This place is spectacular! There was 7 of us there with two small dogs and it never felt crowded. The pool and hot tub were great to come back to every night. We even stayed and had a few pool days at the house. The house is well equipped with dishes, pots and pans, utensils, towels and the washer and dryer were awesome to have. Everything you need is close by too. The sunsets are second to none and we enjoyed them daily. Jim is a gracious host and even though we had no issues, he checked in with us once while we were there and again when we got back. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent from him again.

Wonderful Retreat
The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are incredible. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and lounging in the spa every day. The location was perfect for us. The house layout worked well for our group. This was our best vacation we have taken in the Keys.

Clean, spacious with gorgeous view of ocean
The house was beautiful, clean and spacious for our group of 7 adults and 3 kids. My husband and I were lucky to get the master bedroom (though all the rooms were great). To be awoken by the sunrise was amazing. Basic amenities are provided such as coffee maker, pots, pans, kitchen ware. We needed to provide our own toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags for the week. The pool and spa were wonderful though we had issues heating the pool- it did seem to finally heat during the last few days of our trip. A car is a must getting to different places in Islamorada- even though Uber seems to be available. This is not really a "beach" location- the shore is full of seaweed and is rocky- not a place I would swim. There is enough beach for the kids to play which is clean. I agree with the description of "ocean front" and is tranquil and idyllic. Our dogs loved lounging at the pool. Jim was quick to respond to any questions and kind enough to check in with us to make sure we were comfortable. I would certainly stay again and highly recommend.

We are very happy that you enjoyed your time at our house and in Islamorada. We too think the sunrise and ocean views are amazing. The cleaning company we use has an excellent reputation only leaves a starter supply package which is standard in Islamorada. I am glad that the pool temperature improved for you later in the week, our automated pool detection system sent us an alert so we had the pool company come out and make an adjustment. The beach is a natural Keys walk-in beach with the ocean floor covered in sand, coral and vegetation making it a perfect habitat for aquatic life. Many of our renters, including us, snorkel and swim out front. Thank you for being our guests.

Nicer than the pictures :)
We were 2 families staying together - 4 adults and 3 kids under 6. We vacation together regularly and combined, this is our 6th VRBO. Jim's is top notch! The house itself is so picturesque that my toddler exclaimed in awe, upon seeing the home for the first time - "Oh! How nice!" The oldest 2 kids loved the bunk bed and actually request one whenever we travel now. The youngest had a bedroom all to himself, which was perfect. Most importantly, there are essentially 2 master suites in this lovely light blue doll-house of a home. The official master is very lovely with a walk in closet and lovely ensuite. I stayed on the third floor which is a huge open concept space with a large walled off shower (no one seeing you shower naked) and a separate sink and toilet. There's also a magical hobbit-sized kid room on the third floor as well, which is simply full of tiny chairs and toys. Both masters have window views of the ocean. I loved waking up every day to the gentle sunrise (not glaring at all). The beach is a Keys beach and fun for the kids as it was full of shells (they did wear water shoes though). Most days we were in the pool or the spa at least twice. It is really something to gaze up on the ocean and wide open skies while in the spa. We cooked most days and BBQd once. We had an issue come up on a weekend and we were amazed that Jim was available on the phone ASAP and he got the issue sorted within the hour!! On a weekend! In the Keys! I can honestly vouch for Jim - he sincerely wants you to enjoy your vacation, the home and feel very well looked after :) For outings - I recommend chartering a boat with Charlie to the sandbar, tarpon/nurse shark feeding at Lazy Days, the frozen key lime pie at Lorelai's, the normal/authentic key lime pie at Lazy Days and the History of Diving museum (great place to buy ocean themed Dr. Seuss books too!). For bites (? sand fleas), I recommend insect repellent treated clothing or bug spray :) But that's the tropics :) We hope to return!!

Awesome Vacation
This was a charming home with stunning ocean views, like a resort beach all to ourselves. Spending time in the pool and spa was awesome and we saw some of the most amazing sunrises. We rented a boat for a day and went to three different spots where we experienced some of the best snorkeling ever. We will definitely return.

Family Fun
The house was perfect for our family and the location was ideal. The walk in beach was very nice. My brother brought his paddle boards and we had a great time using them right in front of the house. The pool was beautiful, I don't know who enjoyed it more us adults or the kids. We have rented many houses before that are very basic, but this one felt like a true home. Can't wait to go back!

Gorgeous home on the beach with spectacular views and amazing pool.
Spent a week at this lovely home on the beach in Islamorada. The home is beautiful and very comfortable. We had 3 teenagers with us and had plenty of room for everyone and were all very happy with the set up. Pool is awesome and we spent quite a bit of time enjoying it after our day exploring the Keys, which has a lot to offer. Your halfway to Key West, which is fun for a day trip and close to great fishing, less than 10 minutes away. We will definitely come back and spend more time here!

Beautiful home with great pool/hot tub
We shared this home in June 2018 with another family. There was plenty of room for our group of 10. The living and dining room were open to the kitchen which was fantastic giving us lots of room when we were all just hanging out. The pool was large and worked great for adults and kids. The home was conveniently located near a grocery store and many other attractions. We would love to come back and stay at this property again.
