May 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Amazing Oceanfront Vacation Pictures don’t do this place justice! We absolutely loved the outdoor spaces and only went inside to sleep and shower…but even showers were sometimes outside in the great outdoor shower! The kids loved snorkeling, fishing, and exploring the beach. We rented kayaks on our last day and that was a hit, too. The views and privacy are phenomenal and the outdoor kitchen/tv area was our absolute favorite. We saw nurse sharks, sting rays, harmless jellyfish, parrotfish, crabs, angelfish, and so much more!! The only issue we had was that the washing machine didn’t work. I reached out to the property manager multiple times through text and VRBO messaging and never heard back. It is rare to not hear a peep from a manager, so I’m not sure the phone number is accurate. It may just need to be updated but our issue wasn’t a major one, so no worries. The house has everything you could possibly need with plenty of room for large families. My in laws enjoyed the downstairs suite that walks right out to the dock and beach area. It is separate from the main house which worked fine for us but could be helpful to know for families. We can’t recommend this house enough and will definitely stay there again if we are back in the Tavenier/Islamorada area! ##### Stacia C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris F.

There were substantial improvements made to the property which made it even better, especially with the outdoor kitchen, bar, tv. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and is close to everything you need. We rented a boat this time and loved the floating dock which we were able to tie up to for the week. Great snorkeling, fishing, and paddleboarding location. You won't be disappointed in this property. Thank you Grant! ##### Damian C.

Eight of us stayed in the house for a long weekend, and had an amazing time. The property was spacious, in good condition, and had pretty much everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the dock catching (small) fish, relaxing with a few beers and enjoying the spectacular views. We put the large charcoal grill downstairs to good use and spent the evenings on the covered patio upstairs. The owner was extremely responsive to any issues we had. When we discovered the downstairs bathroom and air conditioning were not working, and he had a plumber there within an hour, plus two repairmen to completely replace the AC later that day. Overall, it was an awesome weekend that we’ll remember for a long time. ##### Eric R. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael G. Jan 10, 2014 #### Enjoyable home with great dock and deck for relaxation! We had a great mini family reunion, with our son(and his wife) and our daughter(with her boyfriend) meeting us in Fort Lauderdale, and then we all drove down to Islamadra together. The house was clean, loved all the fishing pictures, and the layout was perfect for us. It is a fun house. Our favorite was the dock, as we spent every night on the dock from 8 till 10-11pm. Great place to talk, drink some beer/wine, do some fishing, and look for marine life. We had multiple nurse sharks visits, schools of parrot fish, some monster redfish, tons of snappers, some small baracudas, one large octopus, and we had a huge manatee spend 30 min with us on sunday night when we were right at high tide!!! Everyone enjoyed watching the sunset, looking out at the bay, etc. We would definately come back. Logistics were simple and the house is well organized for renters. House is centrally located for restaurants, marinas, etc. ##### Michael G. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy M. Jan 2, 2015 #### Hidden gem We stayed here with family friends for Christmas (8 of us). It was absolutely wonderful. I hate to praise it so much because I would love to keep it a secret. Grant was great to work with and always promptly responded to any of my questions. The location is off of the main road in a quiet neighborhood so you felt that you were in your own paradise. The draw is of course the waterfront. We spent ALOT of time snorkeling off of the pier. We saw sting rays and even got close to some small nurse sharks. Another person commented that it was like an aquarium and it was true. We saw more fish here than on a snorkeling tour that we took. I know I always appreciate reading honest reviews. It really deserves 5 stars because of its location, the pier and its cleanliness. Some small improvements would make it a 5+: a better shower head in the separate bedroom suite and longer stock of hand soap and toilet paper. Not really a big deal. We picked up these supplies at the local store, but just something to be mindful of. One thing to know that at high season (which this was) it was very difficult to turn onto HWY 1\. Just a FYI. Again, these are minor things and in no way detracted from our experience. ##### Cathy M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim N.

There was room for at least 4 more people, 40 if you wanted to host a party. The house is better than the description. The appliances are new, countertops are granite, showers are amazing, A/C works very well (smart thermostat) and the home is fully stocked with brand name everything from toilet paper to laundry detergent to spices. There is a charcoal grill and a 3 burner Weber gas grill. When we arrived there was a partial tank of propane and an empty one. We grilled several times and there was still propane in the original tank. We replaced the empty one so the next group to enjoy this property wouldn't have to worry about propane. The owners have placed rocks and large diameter PVC under the end of the dock which provides a great place for lobsters, crabs, and fish to live. A night light provides a true aquarium experience. Even during the day while snorkeling there is an abundance of marine life to see. There are 2 sups and an inflatable kayak and several fishing poles available. The outdoor lighting at night is awesome and the sunset views from the dock are picture perfect. A crew of 3 came thru Monday morning to blow the leaves off the astro turf and rake the beach area. The neighborhood is quiet and the walkers we encountered were friendly. This is truely a wonderful place to stay while exploring the Keys. Thank you Grant! ##### Jim N.

It was well appointed and had beautiful updates in the private suite downstairs and the bathrooms. The screened in porch was a wonderful touch as it can get a buggy in the Keys. The private dock is a great feature. There are numerous rock lobsters right next to the dock and if you have water shoes (with hard soles) you could definitely catch dinner without having to venture far. The location of this home is great as it is tucked away from main highway and in a mainly residential neighborhood that is not touristy. There are several restaurants nearby that are convenient to the house. Also nearby is a lot of water based activities. Snorkeling, boating, water sports, etc.; are all within a few miles from the house. The best part was that we were there during Spring Break week and we didn't see one drunken college student anywhere near the house. That is an absolute positive! If I wanted typical spring break, I would have gone to Key West (which was about an hour and a half away with the current construction on the highway). I wouldn't detract anything from this property, but there are some things you may need to get used to if renting here. The downstairs suite is not connected to the main living area upstairs. You have to go outside to enter the suite. Also, the main bathroom has a large plate glass window looking into it from the outside. A little disconcerting until we realized we could engage the storm shutters and fix the potential voyeur problem and make the bathroom private. As I said, I would not call these detractors, just quirks. All houses have them, and it is what makes them memorable! I would recommend anyone looking to have a nice, quiet getaway to the warm confines of the Florida Keys to rent this property. ##### Dave C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine B. Dec 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place This is a great property for a family with older children, or two or three couples. Really nice property with private beach. The dock is a fun place to hang out but the outdoor bar area is even better with shade from the sun and it has a large screen tv with a fridge for all your beverages. AC works great and the kitchen was well stocked. Outdoor grill worked great. When we got there the beach had a lot of sea vegetation washed up and the owner had someone clean it up and bring extra beach towels right away. Also two SUP boards that we used. We would stay there again! ##### Catherine B. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward B.
