Just off the property you can find nature trails leading to quiet beaches. The patio offers views of a back yard aquarium and the spectacular beauty of the Florida Keys.

A wonderful place, restful and interesting.

Review Submitted: August 9, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This property is a gem. The unit itself is quite luxurious, air conditioning, wireless internet, granite kitchen, etc, but the location is like being in a secluded nature preserve. We loved it. A great base for day trips to Miami or Key West, or just relaxing and taking in the wild birds and aquatic animals. Jerry could not have been nicer....very helpful, informative, and enthusiastic about the setting without being intrusive. He met us the first day and then we were on our own. This unit is I believe the most private of the property...you have almost the whole top floor and a spectacular view of the water, plants, and wildlife. The rooms are really large and everything is spotless. Thanks so much!
