The Florida Keys are a 106 miles chain of islands bordered by the Atlantic ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Driving the length of the keys means traveling over 42 bridges, including the longest bridge in the U.S., the Seven Mile Bridge. The main road, The Overseas Highway, is marked by mile markers, starting with Key West at MM1. Our vacation rental house, Tarpon Cove, is at MM 73.5, exactly 1 1/2 hours from Miami or 1 1/2 hours from Key West. The atmosphere throughout the Keys is relaxed and casual. No need to dress up even for the best restaurants in town. Islamorada is known as the sports fishing capital of the world. Here you can experience the finest fishing, diving, and snorkeling as well as the freshest seafood and the best PiƱa Coladas.

Keys Vacation

Review Submitted: July 5, 2007 Date of Stay: June 2007
Just wanted to tell you how very much we enjoyed our stay at your rental. The layout of the home is very spacious and yet so very cozy. It really was so relaxing and fun staying there. The pictures on your website are great but it is much better in person to see. It is immaculately decorated and furnished. The down stairs suite was a great little hideaway also. My children enjoyed fishing in the canal. They caught a baby shark and other fish. I enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and sitting out on the patio grilling out. A wonderful central location in the keys. Just a quick drive to great restaurants and state parks and beaches. Hope to stay again next year. Highly recommend this place to all family and friends.

Spectacular home close to everything

Review Submitted: August 16, 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
This home was wonderful. The decor is modern but has lots of island touches that helps you escape from the mundane of every day life. The rooms are spacious especially the master bedroom and the living room accommodates many people at one time if entertaining. The high roof ceiling is beautiful and provides excellent lighting throughout the day. Although I did not have a boat with me on this trip the outside dock was perfect to have a boat and literally seconds away from the bay and ocean. The location of the house is right where you would like to be. Perfect for a nice ride to key west for an evening out or just staying close to one of the great Islamorada restaurants. We chose Island Grill which has spectacular Shrimp and grits that is a must. Plenty of room for multiple cars and easy to find off of US1. Great communication with owner.

Wish I could live there!

Review Submitted: August 16, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
My friends and I had an absolutely perfect stay there this July. The home was close to our favorite fishing spots and several other areas we frequent. It was very clean and inviting. I have stayed in countless homes in the Islamorada area and this was one of my favorites. The owners were very attentive, and made sure that we had everything that we needed for our stay. I would definitely stay there again. Perfect for a group of friends or any family group.

Excellent Home, Amazing Condition ! Exceeded Expectations !

Review Submitted: January 26, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2010
I looked at all the houses in the Upper Keys in the same size and generally with the same amenities and kept coming back to this listing. I liked the architecture - very high ceilings, wood accents, bright, sunny, huge deck, covered-protected parking, quiet street, easy location to everything. This house delivered all promises and even a bunch of pleasant surprises.

First, the house is fantastically clean and maintained to the highest standard. Next, the house is appointed to an Executive's level of comfort. The kitchen is a good size with everything needed ( and more ! ). Everything in the house, EVERYTHING is high end quality. The deck is huge. The gas grill cooked the caught fish and shrimp to perfection. The lot is big and although you are in the keys, this lot placement and landscaping gives the house and deck a lot of privacy.

The Shell gas station is a 1 minute scooter ride north and has A LOT ! There is a CVS 12 minutes to the North.

Bud & Mary's Marina- about 7 minutes north, has all the snorkle / diving trips needed to great locations, We dove the Eagle - a huge wreck. We snorkled the reef and saw too many turtles and rays to count. All from Bud & Mary's. In addition, I caught a tuna that could have fed a small nation - from Bud & Mary's.

There are great restaurant's minutes and seconds away. ( Don't forget about " Uncle's " )

The bike / running path located at the subdivision entrance ( 200') is safe, well paved and leads to the Shell gas station or to a bridge with spectacular sunsets.

The time that I went, I saw a spectacular sunset at the bridge, then walked across the bridge to Ann's Beach and saw a spectacular Moon rise.

Thanks Sylvia - we had a great time !

Perfect vacation rental

Review Submitted: July 22, 2010 Date of Stay: June 2010
On our first visit to the Keys, we lucked out in finding a perfect place to stay. The house is charming and spacious and immaculately clean, well-equipped and well-furnished. It has all modern appliances, convenient laundry facilities, three bedrooms (each with its own full bathroom), and some additional special features like a tiki hut with hammock and a small canal right in the back yard. Although the house is just a few short turns off the main highway, the location is quiet, scenic, and private. We enjoyed our breakfast on the large deck, as we watched the birds fly among the palm trees, the sailboat masts moving in the distance, and planned our day. Sylvia, the owner, is very accessible and has known the Florida keys for many years. She treats you like a welcomed houseguest and provides you with up-to-date recommendations for restaurants and activities and places to visit, as well as seamless instructions for using the house. There are many activities close by, but Sylvia has also stocked the house with some tempting books, games, puzzles, and, of course, TV. We will always remember beautiful Anne’s beach (a short walk from the house), our trip to see wildlife at Pine Key, several great restaurants, the excitement of catching (and later cooking) mahi mahi, and snorkeling at a nearby coral reef. We will definitely return to the Keys and would love to stay here again. This rental delivered more than the listing promised and was an important part of making our vacation special, and we recommend it.
