    What a great place! Less than 5 minute walk across the street to quiet beach away from the larger crowds down by public beach. Very clean property. Older but recently redone nicely and tastefully. Owners are great and very available when needed. Plenty to do close by. We plan to go back again one day!

    Great hosts ready to answer questions, clean and beautiful property. We loved the keyless entry - made life easier not worrying about keys. Plenty of towels provided and the beds were super comfy. Great experience but do note you do need to get in a car and drive to a beach, it's never more than a few minutes but you can't just go across the street. There are no trespassing signs everywhere. That said, it's literally a 3 minute drive to Englewood Beach which is magnificent. All the beaches were. We are very thankful for this experience!!!!

    A short trip with my mom and my sister at the last minute, to get away after our dad passed away a few weeks ago. Unit was exactly as pictured, easy to get to, super clean, had everything we needed.We were surprised to see the devastation on the key after the hurricane's last year(don't know why). The beach is not the same and there was not a lot of sand area to setup near us. However, that did not lessen our overall experience. We are grateful to everyone rebuilding and repairing.

    Just as described; access to the beach is a short walk away. Restaurants are a mile and a half. We walked to avoid having to find parking.

    We enjoyed our stay! We loved being near the beach and seeing dolphins on our walk. The hosts were very quick to respond to our questions. The other guests were very friendly and were repeat customers. The island is recovering from hurricane, but this place is in great shape and the beach is beautiful.

    This property was perfect. So cute and clean. It was perfect for two of us to crash after spending the day at the beach.
