Blissful Waterfront Retreat with Pool, Hot Tub, and Kayaks!!!

The accommodations were perfect for our stay. My mother-in-law had her own “house”, complete with its own kitchen while we had separate quarters upstairs. We also enjoyed the extras such as kayaks, the hot tub, laundry facilities (with supplies), and while the pool was a little too cold, it would be a nice perk once it’s a little warmer.David is an outstanding host, making himself available on short notice whenever needed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time in the keys at this beautiful home.

The house was in excellent condition and was a wonderful place to stay. We had 8 adult men and found the sleeping accommodations to be perfect. It was well equipped and has a very nice layout downstairs for enjoying the Florida weather with a group of people. When we arrived it was sparkling clean and the owner is truly a five star renter. He contacted me several times to make sure everything was in order, answered all of my questions promptly, and was extremely reasonable when we mistakenly damaged an item. David was a breeze to deal with and truly what VRBO owners should strive to be like. It should be noted that the pool is much smaller than the photos make it look like (it's tiny: about twice the size of a hot tub) but the house is much bigger than the photos make it appear. There's also no indoor staircase: you must exit the house to go downstairs. These are just facts renters should be aware of and do not detract from the five stars this house deserves! In summary we would absolutely rent again and highly recommend working with the owner.

There were 8 of us. My wife, myself, one daughter and her husband, and our other daughter, her husband and their 2 children (4 and 2 mos). The unit is split 2 bedrooms up and two bedrooms 2 down with separate entrances and full kitchens up and down. It worked out great, we put the family with the kids in the downstairs and made that our central cooking/eating/family area and we spent most of our time down there next to the pool, canal, outdoor area and going in and out in the boat. There is a fence between the house/outdoor area and dock/canal which kept the 4 year old in check. The laundry is downstairs and there is space for storage of fishing/diving gear and they have a bait freezer and large deep freezer. Parking area is huge, and backing in trailers and boats is a piece of cake (this is seldom the case with the narrow streets). The canal is surprising clean and we did see people swimming in it! The kitchens were well stocked with all the pots pans, utensils you could ask for. The neighbors were super friendly and offered us suggestions on local places to go and fishing tips (which worked our well for our yellowtail fishing). Great Neighborhood. The owners provide very detailed check in and check out instructions and information on about everything you could encounter...you just have to look over the documents to get an answer. Also, David (owner) was very helpful via text messages when I had a question that I didn't see addressed in the documents. We highly recommend it! If we did not already have reservations for another place next year, we definitely would have planned on coming back next year...Great place! Many thanks to David and Jessica Rodriguez for sharing their Keys home with house.

The house was PERFECT for our three teenagers and four adults!! The top floor has a wraparound porch that was perfect to sit out at night and have cocktails while watching the kids swim and fish! Both kitchens are fully equipped and the house is decorated beautifully. Everyone had more than enough Space. There was plenty of space for the dockage of our 217 Cobia and the wash station was clean and in a convenient spot. The kayaks were fun for all of us and the canal is a 1 minute boat ride to open water. Neighbors were friendly and when we had a question for David he called back immediately with an answer. The house is located right down the road from Key Largo Fisheries which is where we got our bait and ice everyday. It is a very convenient location for anything you might want to do. They have the cutest guest book there that previous guests write reviews for places they have enjoyed which is helpful when trying to pick a restaurant!!! Overall we give a 10 star rating for this house that truly feels like a home. Thank you for everything David!!

Islamorada is usually our go to...but after our stay in this great house we have a new love for Key Largo! This house is perfectly located to all we had planned for the week .From a excellent fish market on the corner for grilling out to kayaking in the canal! The kids had a blast. the split level also made it very nice for my parents to have there space up stairs but gather all together at meal time. Owner was very reachable but did not encounter any problems the whole week. Home was VERY CLEAN and very up to date on appliances. We hope to be able to come back to this special place in the keys! Thank you for sharing your home!

If $5,000 worth of insurance is required which costs an extra $99, I believe that should be disclosed up front. Same for there being a required signed rental agreement - if that's the case, then don't run the payment until after that is signed. For the most part everything with the actual house was fine. But beware the stringent checkout duties (remind me why I paid a cleaning fee?)

We really enjoyed our stay in Key Largo. We were traveling with 3 kids: 7, 5, and 2 and the upstairs apartment was perfectly quiet with dark shades over the windows so PERFECT for traveling with a small child that still takes a nap during the day. The house was very clean with charming furnishings and the owner had great communication with us during our stay. I would highly recommend it!

Our family really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place.

This waterfront home is the perfect place for a family reunion. It is directly on the water, and our 3 grandkids were in heaven. Our Florida son trailered his boat to Key Largo, put in at a nearby boat ramp, and tied up at the long dock. The kids all fished off the dock, as well as on outings from the boat. They caught a huge number of fish, many of which were large and in season. We ate very well! The kids also enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and lovely living spaces. My husband and I, plus one son, his wife, and 8-year old child stayed upstairs. We had our own kitchen, living room, dining area and balcony. My other son and his wife, plus their two kids took the downstairs. There is a very large kitchen on the lower level, a long table that fit all 9 of us, and a big living room and outdoor patio. We went up and down between the floors, and had plenty of space and privacy. The property is fenced, and the dock area has its own fence that creates security for small children. The house is located within walking distance of a fish market and casual outdoor restaurant on a marina, Walgreens, and other stores, while still being secluded on a side street with other homes on each side and across the canal. The neighborhood was quiet, even though all the homes seemed occupied and there was plenty of movement through the canals. The kids enjoyed the 2 kayaks, and we all appreciated the great gas grill. If you know the area, this home is about 20 minutes south of the Ocean Reef Club. This lovely rental is truly a fisherman's paradise. We will come again!
