The property is completely fenced in with a chain link fence in addition to a privacy mesh along the rear wall for privacy and to avoid the basketball from going into the neighbors home.
We have some Kayaks on the property that can be used. But you need to have a method of transport to take them to the ramp. They are heavy and bulky and the ramp options are not that close. I do have a front door neighbor that has his own private ramp but cannot guarantee he will let you use it due to who is renting from him at the time of your stay. Also, Chanel is long and it takes a while to get out. It is best to use the public ramp at the Tavernier bridge because it has a floating ramp that makes it easy to launch and to get on. This is a free option and has safe parking.
There is a covered parking areas at the left side of the property that has a separate gate. This one is reserved by the owner which leaves his boat on site. However, accommodations can be made if needed. Yes, bring your boat and further enjoy the Florida keys with no waits and hassle in our private ramp! Meaning inside the perimeter you can park your boats, rv and cars. There is also more space for guests in front of the gated area.
Activities and Attractions
Community private ramp! Several nice spots close by for fun or fishing. Can provide GPS points to all needed locations (make you look like a local). Minutes from the famous tiki sand bar 'Whale

Thanks for considering our home for your vacation needs!
This is a very clean, super sports-equipped, comfortable home in a nice ,quiet and convenient neighborhood. The owner was very accommodating and answered any questions (few) that I had in very nice and prompt manner. The kitchen has everything you need and the beds are comfortable. Stores and restaurants are conveniently located. Thanks Joseph for sharing your beautiful home with me! I would love to stay again.
We really enjoyed our time in islamorada. The house was very comfortable, it has everything you will need for your stay and even more!
This was the perfect house for our 5 weeks diving in the Keys. The covered open area provided an excellent area for cleaning and hanging our dive gear. The main living area was comfortable, and the kitchen allowed us to cook any meals we wanted to eat at home. We will definitely look to rent this house again the next time we are in the Tavernier/Islamorada area as it is a great home base to explore all there is to do here. Joseph was a fantastic owner to rent from. He was very communicative and quickly responded to any questions we had.
This was the perfect place for our 5 week vacation. The home was clean and was perfect because there was a place to my boat. There were so many amenities that came with this home we loved them all. The hot tub was great to relax and enjoy the evening. The man cave down below was perfect to hangout and relax in. Next trip that we take to the keys we will be renting this home again. The host was great and gave use the privacy needed but was always a phone call away if we ever needed anything. Thank you again for letting us stay in your home.
Great place to unwind! Great location! Very well kept property! Lot's of privacy by owner and design of property! Lot's of shade to enjoy yard at all hours!
Joseph’s house is everything in the description of his place and more. We had a terrific 4 months at his place. The house is very well kept up and stocked with all you need. Joseph went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood is very friendly and safe. Joseph is always available to help with anything that we needed but will give you all the space you want. He knows all the local stuff like fishing, snorkeling and diving. Shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, library and more are very close. We were with in 3 miles of almost everything. We were even only about a three block walk to church. Getting in and out on highway 1 was easy too. There is a Winn Dixie less than 2 miles from the house. We enjoyed it so much we will be back again. We would recommend you book early to get the times you want. We liked everything about this place. Thank you again, Joseph for making our stay a great experience. PS: He has a grill, hot tub,basketball court, a man cave, TVs in every bedroom, bicycles, washer and dryer, 2 outdoor seating areas, games, DVD players, satellite TV, WiFi, kayaks and the most wonderful basket chair swing. We loved the swing, it was like floating while we were reading. We highly recommend this place.
We loved our stay, Joseph was great to deal with and the home was decorated very cute and was well stocked with everything you would need. We are definitely looking forward to renting again?
Very nice place to stay. I felt right at home; comfortable and clean. Lots of extras too; basketball, bikes, boats, and more. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a “home away” from home. Thanks Joseph!!
A very friendly owner a comfortable peaceful neighborhood we had a wonderful four months thank you
My wife and our 2 small kids spent just over a month here and we wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was clean and as described. Joseph was responsive and available if needed, but gave us privacy. Our kids are too small to swim well and it was nice to have a fenced in yard and not directly on a canal. The place is loaded with games and activities (basketball, ping pong, darts, board games, hot tub, BBQ, SUP board, skateboard, etc.) which was a lot of fun. The place is convenient to a grocery store and a fresh catch of the day fish market (Cesamar). We went almost daily to the free Founders Park beach, gym, soccer fields or visited state parks in the area. The kids also really loved Theater of the Sea and we preferred it to the large over crowded theme parks.
