PRIVATE, 2 ACRE OPEN WATER HOME, HEATED POOL, DOCK, ETC.

This is the third time my family has rented this home with friends. Two small families easily stay in the main home and the guest house makes this an option for a bigger group.The sunrise is breathtaking and the house is wonderful. My husband rents a boat and has it delivered directly to the house for fishing and it only a 20-25 minutes drive to Key West. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the ocean. You will not be disappointed with this home.

We rented this home in November for our 15 yr wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. The owner was prompt and friendly when answering several email questions we had before deciding to rent. The home is positioned well on the property to enjoy the beautiful water and sunrise. The pool was warm - heated as it said it would. There are some pool floaties and life jackets available. There is a tiki hut/bar stool/table area with very sturdy chairs and lounge chairs for enjoying a cup of coffee, or a drink. The property is 2 secluded, well manicured acres with palm trees and tropical plants which added to the overall experience and made it all the more peaceful and quiet. The property manager was nearby in case we needed anything and we met him when he came to mow. He was friendly, pleasant and non-evasive, came to mow, asked us how the stay was so far and if we needed anything or had any questions, got in, mowed and left. The home is well stocked with all the needed items from pots/pans, spices to cook with, to towels for the pool. The screened in porch connects to the living room with wide sliding doors that open to let in the breeze in from the water. The home has nice speaker system with a dial so you can also enjoy the music outside by the pool. The master bedroom in the main house (property also has nice guest house if you have large family get together) is on the opposit side from the large bedroom with 2 queen beds, and mattress very comfortable. There is an outdoor shower, private dock you can fish off of, kayacks, and bicycles for additional things to do. The home is about a 25-30 minute drive from Key West so close, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists. If we stay in the Keys again, we would rent this place again w/o looking at any others. A little pricey for us, but so glad we splurged as it was well worth it. We also had a late flight and although check out time is 10 AM the home owner was gracious and let us stay a later into the afternoon. Overall experience in renting, staying and getting deposit back was excellent.

We stayed at the Powell home on our vacation in June 2011. WOW!!! it was definately more than we expected. From the accommadations to the view everything was MORE than we expected. My husband and children enjoyed the Guest house while our very dear friends took the main house. As Lea said, it made going home hard. Thank you for opening your home to us. We really enjoyed ourselves and would likely return. God Bless
