What sets us apart from "just a vacation rental"? As your hosts, we have spent a lifetime in the hospitality industry. When we chose to purchase, remodel and refurnish the property we set out to achieve 6 main goals. LACBSC, or Location, Amenities, Comfort, Beauty, Cleanliness and Service. We hope that by reading our reviews you will feel we have met and continue to meet these goals to provide an exceptional vacation rental experience.

If that doesnt do it, hop on the provided bikes and ride up to Robbies world famous marina for lunch at less than a mile away. Now maybe its time to hop down to tje tiki bar and fire up the BBQ while enjoying the game on the 55” outdoor TV. Maybe crank up the blender located in the tiki’s cocktail station while jamming some Jimmy Buffet Tunes in the Tiki on the blue tooth Marine Stereo built right in. When it gets dark buikd a fire in tje outdoor firepit and enjoy the cool winter evenings right here in the tiki garden. Maybe throw on the swimsuits and go for a soak in the private hot tub built into the front deck? The large shared pool is heated in winter and chilled in the summer.

Best Weekend Getaway
Property was beautiful and bungalow super comfy and clean. We decided last minute to drive down to Islamorada with our 2 small dogs for our anniversary, and Miranda made everything flow so smoothly, I could not ask for more. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Everything was absolutely perfect.

This one!
The truth and nothing but the truth. I’ve rented with vrbo for about 10 years now. You leave a review and sometimes you just don’t know what to say. It’s hard to look at pictures and know exactly what you are getting into. This place has been the best place we have rented. It was more than we thought. This cottage is like the penthouse of the cottages in the area for sure. We enjoyed the hot tub. The tiki and fire pit area is so private and cozy. Kitchen is well stocked. Regina, you did amazing with the decor. I loved it all down to the custom octopus sink. This was our first time to the Keys and this was the best experience. Rob and Regina are amazing hosts and the best we have ever had. They responded and helped us with anything we needed. Not all hosts do this. You two are the best. This place is in an awesome location. We brought our boat and had a blast. The restaurants here are great and the shopping is good too. We spent 6 days and felt like we just got to know the place. We can’t wait to come back and finish exploring. There is so much to do. This place will not disappoint.

Escape from the COLD
Our first stay at the bungalow and it didn’t disappoint. What you see is what you get, no smoke and mirrors. The listing is spot on. We fished and utilized the tiki bar to its fullest. Regina recommended some local areas to paddle board, we landed at Anne Beach. Beautiful! The pool is perfectly located next to the bungalow. Unexpected surprise was the shared pantry, pay it forward and leave behind unused dry goods, bug spray, beers, laundry detergent etc. definitely came in handy for doing some laundry. Great communication for Regina and Capt Rob. Will definitely be booking again for our next trip to Islamorada.

Was all that we hoped for and more. Excellent outdoor living space and a few steps from the pool. Pool is not private but might as well been. Super clean and comfortable. Host was exceptional. Hopefully will stay again.

First trip to the Keys!
Rob and Regina are wonderful hosts! Working and communication with them was nice and easy. Their bungalow is everything you see in the pictures and the property details are exactly as described. Very well appointed and plenty of amenities. It was nice to take some time and relax by the pool, enjoy drinks / dinner at the tiki bar and end the day in the hot tub. The tiki bar is awesome! This was our first time in the Keys. Long overdue! Our stay in Islamorada and choosing this property did not disappoint! Our minds are already planning another visit! There is definitely truth to the saying “Livin’ on Keys time”!!!

Outstanding!
Everything about our stay was amazing! Regina was welcoming and checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay! The Bungalow was well appointed with everything we could have possibly needed. The tiki bar, fire pit and spa were our absolute favorites. The pool was almost like having our very own private pool! The Keys are meant for outdoor fun and that is exactly what we experienced during our stay! Every single detail was taken care of for us. The owners thought of everything to make sure our family had a 5 star experience! We will be back and would recommend this bungalow to all of our friends!

A Wonderful Holiday Visit
My wife & I had the pleasure of being guests at Regina & Rob’s lovely getaway spot. All we can say is WOW! Not only were the amenities outstanding, but everything advertised on the listing is 100% accurate. The grilling / bar area outside was easy to use, & comfortable for a quiet night of cocktails, cooking, & moving to a nice dining area on the lanai. Heated hot tub & pool were perfect places for a quiet break in the middle of December. In addition to the house being comfortable, the decorations for the holidays were really a festive touch, to put you in the Christmas spirit. Our getaway could not have been nicer, & we strongly would recommend this property & intend to return ourselves. It is also worth noting that Rob gave us a wonderful recommendation for a fishing charter service. Chris Parthemore of Chris’ Clearwater Charters gave us a wonderful full day on the water, & this was made possible because of Rob’s suggestion. We cannot wait for our next visit to this home, & many thanks to Regina & Rob as our hosts.

Perfect for our honeymoon getaway!
The ease of communication, readiness to help, answer any questions, and overall friendliness didn’t quite prepare us for the perfect space for us to rest our feet during an amazing Islamorada vacation. I cannot stress enough how nice it was to communicate with our host. Directions and information provided once we booked was very appreciated. The property itself(and the neighborhood) felt like a nice place to call home. The amenities were wonderful and much needed! We somehow had the shared pool to ourselves each time we took a dip. Bike rides were also a pleasant addition to activities as we wanted to experience the area as a resident. The outside deck with hot-tub, tiki bar, and fire pit area made it feel like an out of world experience, very rewarding! Inside was beautiful with cute touches all over. Didn’t use the kitchen a whole lot, but it had everything you could ask for. Our early December booking was decorated for Christmas and was a beautiful surprise. A+ stay, A+ property, A+ experience

Fantastic Bungalow!! and Close to Everything!
Our first time to Florida Keys was a so much fun!! The Castaway bungalow was perfect for 4 adults & 2yo. Very clean with a new outdoor Tiki space & grill. Comfortable beds, nice kitchen & living area, easy access to the fun stuff. Close to all of Islamorada and close enough for a day trip to Key West. Rob & Regina were very attentive hosts. We will definitely do this again. Highly Recommended!!!

Had a great time in our centrally located property. Went to key largo and key west with ease. Property was nice and clean. Unfortunately it was just too hot to use the pool with the heat dome but it is right there to use when you stay.
