Atlantic Mansion-Estate on Private Paradise Penisula

Our group of seven were in this house for a week. House was absolutely fabulous, clean and well maintained with beautiful views of the Atlantic Ocean. Views of the Atlantic and the pool from the kitchen, both outside patios and the master suite (which was enormous with a fabulous tub and shower). The patio off the main living area is covered and was one of my favorite places. It had a very comfortable set up with a dining table big enough for all of us and a lounge chair/ottoman and sofa. In fact, I slept on that sofa well into the night a couple of times it was so comfortable and the weather was so nice. We didn't get to eat at the The Square Grouper because it was closed for remodeling, but we did have Lobster BLTs three different times at a restaurant just across the street from the neighorhood. YUM! Plus, the gas station at the corner of the entry into the neighborhood has pretty good fried chicken. :-) Another really good restaurant (if you can find it) is the Hogfish grill. Wonderful fried lobster tacos. We were fortunate in that we have friends that live in Key West and know some really great local, non-touristing restaurants. The trip into Key West proper is only about twenty minutes, and we did that one day when it rained, but frankly it was tough leaving the house. One set of friends drove and brought paddle boards and bikes. The walk-in beach area was great for launching the paddle boards, and the water along this area of coast was shallow and clear which made it great for paddle boarding and watching sealife below. All in all a fantastic trip which we are already talking about repeating next year.
