Our home comes with 3 kayaks for your pleasure, and there are boat and jet-ski rentals right down the road. Or take short ride on one of the two cruiser bikes provided to restaurants and more. The largest grocery store, Win-Dixie is on Big Pine just a mile away and all the conveniences are too just short distances away.

There is a marina off the main road as you turn into the Ships Way community for diving trips, snorkeling, and boating needs even with guides.
Overall a very satisfied client.
The property was just about perfect for our needs. We brought our skiff and used a close by canal/ neighborhood boat ramp to be able to conveniently dock it behind the house. SO wonderful to just hop in and head out to fish or snorkel at the reefs (awesome reefs only 15-20 minute boat ride). The neighborhood was very quiet with the nicest of neighbors who gave us local fishing advice. The area is extremely pet friendly and our two enjoyed their stay. We rode the shuttle from a nearby CVS to Key West when the mood arose. The shuttle took about an hour and a half. If we drove ourselves, it was maybe 45. Big Pine Key was laid back and peaceful. Previously, we have always stayed in Key West. Now, we will always look for a place in Big Pine on a canal. The property was as advertised and the manager Marie was always accessible and very pleasant to work with. We hope we will be able to return to this property. It definitely fit our needs.
The neighborhood is wonderful for taking walks and exploring. The location is great and the house was comfortable, The manager was very responsive when we reported an issue. When we arrived, the air conditioner fan was running non-stop. We reported it, and it was fixed promptly.
Located on Big Pine Key, we were near enough to visit Key West (40 min) and Marathon (30 min), but out of the hustle and bustle of the crowds. The house is the third house in from open water on a very clean and deep canal, in a friendly, quiet neighborhood. We did not use the boat lift, so can't comment. This house has been recently painted inside and out. It has cute, beachy themed decorations throughout. Dishes, appliances, towels and linens are what you would expect in a rental house. We used the kayaks and bicycles provided just about every day of our stay. Tips - if you want a PFD on the water, bring your own or buy them once you arrive, as there were none at the house. Also, we had to buy a lock since we rode the bikes to the store as well as in Key West. There is no upstairs, outdoor seating (deck). For a nice sunset view, you will walk to the end of the street (or kayak to the end of the canal) as we did several times. If you play pickleball, there is a very active group right on the island and within biking distance. A few maintenance things need to be taken care of - a light fixture was broken, bulbs were out, smoke detector needed replacing and sliding doors and screens were all sticking, but these are minor and might have been because no one had rented the house in the month before we arrived. Any questions we had were answered immediately by the owner. Overall, this is a nice rental house in the beautiful Florida Keys!
Great home, right on a deep clear canal 2 or 3 houses from the ocean. Great amenities 3 kayaks, 2 bikes. Close to Key West if you want experience the history, fun and sights. Big Pine has everything you need as far as pharmacies, grocery, and some shops. Close to Marathon and the 7 mile bridge, Bahia Honda state park. So many things to do all around you. Lots of tiki bars, happy hours, and live music. The owners are great to deal with, quick to respond if you have any questions. I give this home a thumbs up.
The house is clean with everything you need for a wonderful stay. The canal and dock is perfect for boating and swimming. Location the best on Big Pine Key. Will definitely be back
We had a great month staying at Todd,s home in the keys. The house was well equipped and the location and views were an extra bonus. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and bikes.The manager Marie and owner Todd were a pleasure to deal with. They addressed any issues immediately and you can tell Todd takes pride in his home Had fun interacting with dolphins while kayaking and enjoyed a visit from 3 manatees right at the dock they will stay as long as you give them fresh water. Thanks Todd for sharing your home looking forward to next year. We have rented 3 other properties in the keys and would highly recommend this home
We stayed for 6 weeks and although we were immediately after Irma, this property was ready for us to have a great vacation. We brought our boat with us and found some really great fishing in the Atlantic within 1/2 hour ride of the house. On non-windy days (our boat is only 22') it was also easy to get to the reef. We hope we have another chance to rent this home.
We stayed here for a month and loved every minute. Great location for a boating vacation. The sea wall and canal access are easy to maneuver and enjoy. The house is nicely appointed and has all the utensils needed to cook meals. I highly recommend.
My husband and I spent two delightful months in this house -- January & February 2016. We were greeted by one of the owners who wanted to make sure we were pleased with how we found the house and answered our questions about the place. We contacted him with a question later in our stay, and he was eager to help resolve the issue we brought to him. The owners are easy to work with, and although they live off-site, they arrange it so the renter is taken care of. The house is super clean, comfy, and nicely decorated. We loved the full bank of windows in the front room overlooking the canal. WiFi was excellent -- something important to us. The kitchen is well appointed with a large refrigerator and the easiest to clean stove I have ever experienced in a rental. (I like easy to clean when I'm on vacation!) The location is ideal. We don't have a big boat, but the dock at this property would be ideal for fishermen with a boat. The open channel is very close. We like to kayak, and the shallow waters in the channel are a good place to look for sea life. When we took our morning walks we would often see a Key Deer or two. Occasionally, the deer would be on Ranger Avenue in the evenings, so we were careful when returning home after dark. We used the park pass that came with the house to visit Bahia Honda and Long Key State Park. If it hadn't rained, we would have used it even more. All in all, the property is wonderfully kept and well located as a base for activities in the Lower Keys.
