Oceanfront Sunsets in the Florida Keys

This is our second stay and the home is very clean and everything you need is there. The pool is great. There will be a new dock there soon. Thanks Karen and Sonny

This house is vibrant, spacious, well equipped and met all our needs. The location is remote and peaceful but still close enough to restaurants, stores, and Key West. Our favorite place to stay in the Keys!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very comfortable, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, the screened porch was great for outdoor meals, the pool was used everyday and the plantings around it were beautiful plus afforded us lots of privacy , the dock was a perfect place to watch the sunsets. Karen answered all communications quickly and answered all questions. Everything worked exceptionally well and all our needs were more than provided for. Thanks Karen!

The house is as described. Very home feel to the property with family pictures and a lot of books to read. Large deck with lounge chairs to get the warm sun than head over to the pool with plenty of shade to get out of the sun. Outside shower was a big hit with guest- just remember to bring a towel. Kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils needed for making a meal including a cake.

We enjoyed our stay here so much. The house has everything you could want with an unparalleled view of ocean sunsets.

The location and orientation of the home is perfect. We have historically spent ocean holidays on the beach, but after staying right on the sea with a deck to jump off and swim, I can say I prefer the latter to the beach. We spent so much time on the sun deck swimming, talking, enjoying the warm sun and staring at the stars. The pool was within 25 feet of the ocean and very warm with shaded areas. We spent a ton of time in the pool with our 7 month old, who just loved it. The landscaping and various plant life was tropical and pretty to look at. Oh, did I mention the beautiful sunsets over the water. We looked forward to them every day. The outdoor shower was also heavily used, whether after swimming or an attempt to not wake the baby :-) The neighborhood was also noteworthy. From passing by friendly neighbors on our morning walks to the lovely staff at Murray's market less than 2 minutes drive from house. Slice of Paradise Pizza was also delicious and a short walk away. The inside of the house was clean and felt like home. High ceilings, lots of natural wood and Keys decor made up the space. The layout of the bedrooms gave everyone a great sense of privacy while still being close and connected. It is worth mentioning that the pillows are on the flat side if you are particular. The bedroom with the twin beds upstairs is open air to the dining room area where we tended to hang out a lot. Eating and playing games. So whomever is staying in that room will hear what is happening in the dining room and vice versa. Karen and Sonny were so kind and helpful throughout our stay. I could text any questions and get a response back in no time. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely come back again. The trip turned out just as we had dreamed it about.

Had a great time. Really enjoyed the house. Perfect location.

Better than the Caribbean! If you are looking for a Caribbean-like experience without the hassles and expense of going there, we highly recommend that you stay at Folsom’s Folly in Summerland Key, Florida. We, and our guests, did just that for the month of February, 2017, when we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during every moment spent there. As you can see, the home and its accommodations are most comfortable, cheerful and inviting. We didn’t lack a thing, and shared some of the happiest and most tranquil days one can imagine. The setting of Folsom’s Folly is “to die for”. The tropical landscaping, open water views and gorgeous sunsets can’t be beat no matter where you go, and really match or exceed anything that private housing in the Caribbean has to offer. We loved the spacious outdoor patio and boat dock and, when home, spent most of our time relaxing in the more than ample lounges and chairs provided to guests. Our weather was perfect for the entire month which allowed us plenty of time to swim in the blue ocean water as well as in the well-maintained heated swimming pool which, to all’s delight, has hot tub-like seating with strong jets for a great body massage. For those of you who like to fish, we caught dozens of fish from the dock, some of which made it to our table for dinner. The fish cleaning station there was a welcome bonus which we used many times. Although the home has three full bathrooms, one in what we called the downstairs “Tackle Suite”, everyone especially enjoyed the outside Tiki shower - lots of space, a bench, & great water pressure at all times. Folsom’s Folly décor includes many whimsical and colorful wall hangings and collectibles which are, obviously, a means by which the owners, Karen and Sonny, have made their home so inviting, not only for themselves, but for all who have made, and will make it, their vacation home. So, don’t hesitate to book Folsom’s Folly for your next vacation. You’ll know that you’re in the great Florida Keys, but will think you’re in the Caribbean. Oh, by coincidence, it’s located on a street named “Caribbean East Drive”. Charles & Annette S. South Carolina Stayed: February, 2017 Submitted: March 2017

My family and I have been coming to the Keys for over 15 years and I must say this home has been the absolute best we have ever stayed in. The location couldn't be any better with the Atlantic outside the back door and the Gulf minutes away. The home is spacious and up to date yet has that Keys feel. You are 25 minutes from Key West or Marathon so if you want a little busier pace it's close. We enjoyed the laid back, slower pace fishing off the dock, lazing by the pool and snorkeling in the bay. Wonderful owners, very attentive and genuinely eager to make sure our vacation was perfect. Definitely coming back!!!

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here this March. The entire party from adult to toddlers enjoyed the pool, view and entire place. Would definitely stay again. Between Islamorada and Key West so great lpcation. Thank you!!
