The best of the Florida Keys awaits at Happy Place Key Largo. Enjoy world class fishing and diving or just soak in the laid-back lifestyle on the hammock in our cozy canal front cottage with open water views and amazing sunsets year-round. Located less than 1 hour from Miami International Airport and a fun day trip away from the Everglades, Key West and everything in between, this two-story home is perfect for small groups or entertaining visitors seeking warm weather. We are located justthree miles from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, on the Bayside at Mile Marker 105. See list of local attractions below.

Happy Place comfortably sleeps 8 guests with 4 bedrooms, 2 full sized bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to make this your home away from home. The open concept living area includes two comfy sofas and a large dining table/kitchen island that's perfect for entertaining. There are 2 spacious balconies offering open water views and ocean breezes - the balcony right outside the kitchen has a picnic table with a Weber grill ready to BBQ your freshly caught fish.

The lower level of the house is all about enjoying the outdoors. The mangroves directly across the street attract flocks of chirping Egrets and Spoonbills while the roosters crow in the morning. From the canal you can see manatees, catch some snapper or see sunbathing iguanas while you mingle with the neighbors. Take a relaxing dip in the canal or enjoy a sunset paddle on the kayaks. There are four bright Adirondack chairs and a cool boat bench surrounding a fire pit to keep you lounging into the night. In addition, there is a large covered patio with a dining set and a ceiling fan for alfresco dining. We also have a ping pong table and a corn hole game for more outdoor fun. Explore the Keys with kayaks and stand-up paddle boards included with the rental. Bring your bikes or rent one nearby, there are miles of paved trails that are perfect for exploring or bike riding to one of the many nearby restaurants and shops. The house is also within walking distance to a grocery store and a convenience store for all your needs. The front of the house offers ample parking. Bring your boat down or rent one here - but please let us know your plans so that we can make necessary accommodations.

We have been enjoying the Florida Keys for over 40 years and are happy to make recommendations to make your stay the best ever. We love spending time in our Happy Place with our family and friends and hope you do too. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the property or planning your trip. We are the owners of the property and your hosts while you are here. Follow us on Facebook for updates and local happenings at Happy Place Key Largo.

    Happy Place is my favorite place to stay in Key Largo. The home is well stocked, large and very comfortable. The owners are responsive and very nice. This was my second stay at this beautiful home and it won't be the last.

    This home is lovely, well equipped, and in a very quiet neighborhood. It is a great home base to enjoy all that the Keys have to offer. The owners are great to work with and super responsive. I have next year booked already.

    Happy Place Key Largo is no typical rental. With most rentals you get the bare minimum, if that. Cathy's place is not only spotless and beautifully decorated, but it is stocked with just about anything you might need for your stay. The kitchen was a dream with nice cookware, utensils, appliances, a big farm sink and a pantry, plus tons of spices and condiments. The washer/dryer were really helpful and cleaned clothes well. There are board games, cards, Cornhole, ping pong, tiki toss (really fun), kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit w/firewood, a lily pad to float in the canal if you want, and much more. The neighbors are all really friendly and the neighborhood was great to walk and ride bikes in. St. Justin Martyr church was a 5 minute walk and we loved hearing the bells! We saw so many manatees and fish in the canal. The 3rd floor balcony gives you a gorgeous view out to the bay & beautiful sunsets. The mosquitoes feasted on us so be sure to bring long sleeves & pants if you'll be spending time outside in the mornings and evenings. Cathy did have Off Skintastic and that was appreciated. The Weber gas grill was great and very handy right off the kitchen. Cathy was incredibly communicative any time I had a question. I would not hesitate to book here again!

    Location is absolutely perfect. Only 30 minutes from mainland. Only 30 minutes to Islamorada. Canal in backyard has excellent fishing opportunities. We caught so many fish. Owners were very personable and responsive with caring respect towards any of our needs. The home is huge and spacious with every attention to detail.

    The house was perfect and had everything we needed and more. They have recently updated and everything was neat, clean and in perfect shape a advertised. Cathy was super helpful with suggestions and place to go and her guest book has everything you need for your stay. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and we were able to make friends with the local manatees and sharks. Was able to catch some snapper and sheepshead off their dock as well as fish at the reef and offshore a few times during our stay. Overall a great experience thanks to our host!
