Laidback Beach Shack, with a Vintage Retro Vibe & Serene Feel.

Great value, clean, close to stores,Good host communication, would stay again.

It was everything we required for our stay in the keys. We have stayed in all kind of homes/condos for the past 7 years around Southern Florida the owners we're helpful and friendly.

I had a great time staying here. I was able to get a lot of fishing in on the ‘Sailors Choice’ party boat, located less than a mile from the house. I got to know a bunch of old codgers, like me, and had a good time with them. The home fit all of my needs and the owner, Katrina, was very nice to work with. Thanks, Don Hiller

I spent four months at the Laid Back Shack, January through April ‘22. It was fabulous! It’s just an adorable house with great outdoor space. Spent many hours reading in the hammock. Great neighborhood and easy access to the Overseas Highway. The owners were always accessible and always got back to me when I contacted them. I highly recommend this house!

This property is so cozy and comfortable but most of all it is so cute! It is filled with antiques in every room that have been so thoughtfully placed and also has everything you would need on a vacation (e.g. beach chairs, beach towels, coolers, etc.). We snorkeled at Pennekamp, fished out of Islamorada, and even drove to Key West for one day--all from this Laidback Beach Shack. The park down the street is a definite bonus. We loved it here!

Staying here was absolutely wonderful! We were greeted with wine and snacks and a welcome note, and immediately felt at home. The place was clean and well stocked with everything that we could possibly need. I was actually born in Key West, so I really appreciated the vintage island decor. Some of the things I actually recognized from having them in our own home growing up. We chose the location as we really wanted to explore the Everglades on this trip, and it was an easy trip to get there. It was also convenient to stores and restaurants and anything else that we may have needed. We also made our soujourn to Key West for a day, and that was only 2 hours away. Katrina and Elsa were wonderful to deal with and communicated right way to answer any questions. We also loved the private waterfront park right down the street. Everything was fabulous and we hope that our travels will take us there again. Thank you.

Came in exhausted from life...this place and the beautiful sunshine of the Florida Keys brought rest and revival to our spirits and souls! The place is so put together, mid-century decorated and cohesive with tons of every day products already stocked and even water bottles ready for the beach! My 2 friends and I LOVED IT!! Katrina was available with a quick response at anytime with answers to questions through email...so accommodating and helpful. Our party of 3 was mostly interested in beaches and sun, but we also wanted to kayak through the canals and bay area...it was fantastic!! You can rent kayaks for 24hrs(from local rental places) ., have them delivered right to the canal by the neighborhood beach(1 1/2 blks away)...and then you're off! Met up with a tribe of manatees in one of the canals plus beautiful birds and wildlife. I would totally recommend this beach house for anyone looking for a place to relax, enjoy the Florida Keys (must have a car), take off on water sports, fishing, boating, kayaking, skiidooing, water skiing...it's everywhere and really close by!! Plus the full kitchen gave us opportunity to cook a nice breakfast each day. Thank you Elsa & Katrina for providing such a sweet retreat for the weary souls of the North!

Really enjoyed our stay in the Laid Back Beach Shack! In addition to having every need anticipated and a fun mid-century decor, the location is excellent. A short walk takes you a good fruit market and a tasty lunch truck or in the other direction, a candy store, pizza, etc. I was able to walk to Publix and the local library and John Pennekamp State Park is also very close by for kayaking, snorkeling and glass-bottom boat rides. Absolutely loved the community dock, where my husband and grandson caught lots of fish and saw the manatees roll by. We will definitely return. The home is as described and Elsa was very responsive and helpful. The house feels surprisingly spacious, very clean and we were so comfortable there that we really hated to leave. Love the house, love the decor, love the location!

We were 4 adults and we all absolutely loved this house! It was pristine and clean and obviously well cared for and loved by the owners. Elsa and Katrina were great...everything went smoothly and all unfolded as it should...couldn't have asked for more. The private beach was a question mark until we got there...we loved that also...and spent time there...including with the local manatees. We heartily recommend staying at the 'Laid Back Beach Shack.' Thank you!

My husband and I stayed for a week and we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful location. The owners were fantastic to work with-Great communication and very helpful. They have put a great deal of love and thought into this bungalow. The bungalow was beyond cute! Great vintage/beach decor was unique and charming. The vintage stove is the centerpiece of the kitchen and it is awesome. Everything was neat as a pin. The owner put a great deal of though into making it comfortable for their guests, from extra pillows and blankets to DVD's to watch in the evening. There was not one thing that I can think of that wasn't available to us during our stay. We spent most of our time of the lovely wooden deck/porch in the back of the house. We had breakfast, read our books and had cocktails out there! It also is very well cared for and tended. There is a nice privacy fence around the yard so if you were of a mind to just lounge all day in the chaise's, you could. A large, moveable umbrella made it possible to stay outside all day without a sunburn. I cannot recommend this rental enough. We can't wait to go back next year!
