BOOT KEY RETREAT - OPEN WATER VIEWS -
Not your typical canal house, there is plenty of privacy here. You'll be in your own secluded, retreat. Your own private heated pool, 130 ft. concrete dock, a 400 lb. Ice Machine Plus a beautiful private HOT water outdoor shower,
Foosball Table, and views! You're not looking at the neighbors across the canal and they're not looking at you. Your view is of open water, nature's own show. There's always something going on. Fish swimming and splashing,exotic birds searching for food. You can pay more, and you can pay less, but we honestly believe, you won't find better VALUE for your vacation dollar.

You'll watch boats in the harbor and the countless dingies comings and goings. Bring your binoculars, you never know what to expect. You can relax, be yourself, feel at home here. A simple evening here will be a lifetime memory. It's a real 'Retreat' from your normal everyday life.
You'll have 2 kayaks and 4- bikes for your use at no additional cost. If your kids are old enough, these can be real fun entertainment for them, or you! Our dock, 130 ft., will accommodate a small flats boat or a 35 ft center console, or both.

    This was our third trip to this specific VRBO property. Each time has gotten better. It is more expensive than some, BUT, you truly get what you pay for. I can’t think of a single complaint for any of our three stays…..other than they were not long enough.

    We had an amazing stay at this property! The location was excellent and very clean. We rented a boat and the dock and location to to main water was very convenient. The Host and Property Manager were very responsive and easy to work with. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for hosting us!

    The atmosphere was perfect for our family vacation. So much to see!! Manatees at the dock; fishing from the dock was exciting for everyone! The pool was the perfect depth and size! We kayaked and paddled more than even imagined. Beds were so cozy! Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Very relaxing, scenic, and what we were dreaming of! We will be back!!

    The house was very nice. Loved the beachy decor. The outdoor patio/pool area was awesome. It would be a little close if you had 8 adults as the bedroom with 2 beds had double beds, not Queens. The manatees came by our dock 3 times. It was awesome to see them so close.

    Boot Key was a wonderful experience, it truly felt like home. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed to cook. The furniture inside/outside was even nicer than the pictures showed. We have 3 boys who lived outside fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding & swimming! Plenty of fish off the dock to keep the kids entertained. Constant wildlife around with daily visits from multiple manatees. There was a minor issue that the property manager immediately tended too. We would definitely stay at this home again!

    The property manager was GREAT. The house is very nicely furnished. We were able to see the Manatees, starfish and even a seahorse in the canal.

    My family and I had a great time at Bootkey! It’s perfect for those who want to fish, kayak and just spend the day outdoors. It also is comfortable inside if you’re wanting to stay in. Excellent sunset views and beautiful.

    We really enjoyed this house. The dock area was nice as well although the water was a bit dirty at times. There were tons of jellyfish at all times so it wasn’t really a great place to get in the water. The house is beautiful and nice. We would definitely consider coming back one day.

    What a delightful, clean, convenient property. Trish helped us with any questions we had. Loved the view, the comfy beds, the well laid out and equipped kitchen, the foosball and ice machine. Just a joyful place to stay. Can’t wait to come back! All tvs are smart tvs, in case you’re looking for cable. Just fyi.
