Islamorada, Florida
Come Play! Your 70-foot private dock provides instant access to fun – whether boating, fishing, swimming or relaxing under the shady, palm-roof “Chickee.” Enjoy your privacy with independent upstairs/downstairs units - friends, family, or guests will appreciate the extra bed, bath, living room and refrigerator downstairs.
The Dock: Have your boats or yacht waiting just outside your door. Large, deep-draft sailboats or yachts are easily accommodated with a waterway 20 ft deep and 100 foot wide. Even tall vessels travel quickly between the Ocean and Florida Bay using the drawbridge just 1000 yards from the dock. With gas, bait, and tackle shops located before the bridge, your convenience is assured.
*****Love Fishing ***** Enjoy casting right from the dock for yellow tail, red snapper or grouper. Cast-offshore for sport fishing in the Gulf Stream. The world famous “hump,” an underwater mountain just 11 miles from the dock, has made Islamorada fishing world famous; catch marlin, sailfish, black-fin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and many more ocean treasures.
Or just as easily, go backcountry fishing in Florida Bay and catch speckled trout or tarpon. A fish cleaning station at the end of the dock lets you clean your catch whenever your reeling arm is rested and ready.
*****Love Swimming, Snorkeling or Diving ***** Enjoy endless swimming right from the dock where the water is clean and refreshing, and the beverages are never far away. Living reefs and sunken wrecks are easily enjoyed by everyone, just three miles from the dock in 3-15 ft of water. Enjoy colorful tropical fish, coral rock formations and sea fans. Certified divers will enjoy the drop-off just five miles out, where the 20-30 foot reefs transition to 60+ feet, and sea life changes. And the world famous Islamorada Sandbar is just a 10 minute boat ride away for the daily water social.

Come and stay. Upstairs or down– this is a great place to play.

Island Time was perfect for our trip to the Keys. Great location near restaurants and boat rental was a short walk away. The host were very responsive and extremely nice. There was great communication and check in was very easy.
We decided to do a trip instead of gifts this year, and it was a successful experiment! We had four of our five children (twin 19 year old boys, 9 yo girl, 8 yo boy) along with my husband and myself. The divided “apartments” worked perfectly for our age-diverse family, and the location was not only great for fishing and a rented boat, but very centralized for checking out local attractions and lots of great restaurants. The twins even got around of golf in! It was our first trip to the Keys and we (every one of us) thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim was very helpful and we enjoyed Norm’s stories!
Great spot! Owners were awesome. Place was set up perfectly. Highly recommend staying here.
Nice

The house is exactly what we were looking for. Extremely clean and very comfortable. The beds were the best and we ldis not lack for anything. The location is perfect for getting to the ocean and the bay. The canal is perfect for floating, kayaking or paddle boarding. And the best part are the hosts. Norm and Nancy and family are wonderful. We will be back next year.
