American Paradise - Kokomo-- Gulf Front with Spectacular Sunset- heated pool

My family stayed last year for a week at Kokomo.We brought our boat,our grandkids and alot of luggage.lol
Our sons are old enough to pay there own way. So really 3 families. 6 adults three children. It was awesome.
Plenty of room,pool and hot tub were perfect. Safe and private. The sunsets were gorgeous. Hope to go every year.

I took my 90 year old mother, handicapped sister and my children to Kokomo for a week.

The house is exactly as portrayed in the photo. It has a lovely vista and the grounds are well maintained by Doug and Donna, who are also available to help with anything that you need. Don't hesitate to call them (see below).The house has heat, which was great, because we experienced weather in the 50s and without heat, my mother would have suffered. Doug said very few homes in the Keys have heat and we just lucked into this one, as it wasn't a criteria that I had been looking for.

The bedrooms were large, the beds were very comfortable and clean, the house was very tidy when we arrived and Doug met us there and walked us through the home. The house is located about 1 hour from Key West, which is nice, its a very relaxed setting, quiet and peaceful, at the end of a dead end street, just lovely.

The wireless internet was spotty and probably needs to be updated. The pool was not warm until the last day. I called Donna who said the cold weather was probably keeping the pool from coming up to temperature. On Thursday, I called Doug, he came over, cleaned the pool, changed the temperature, it heated up perfectly by the next day. Unfortunately, it was our last day. Doug said the heater had clogged. So, lesson learned. If you aren't happy with the temperature, call Doug. He will fix it and then you will be happy. He's a nice guy and very friendly.

The Hot Tub was a nice compensation for a very cold pool and a very cold vacation and we even got my Mother in the hot tub.

Cairn, the owner, was great, helpful and very responsive. She is the kind of owner that is easy to deal with and good at her business.

It was very enjoyable holiday for all of us and I would recommend the home to anyone wishing to visit the Keys. Coming from Alaska, I had no points of reference other than the reviews on this website, so I've tried to make this review detailed for folks looking to stay on the Keys in the future.

We were happy and it was a wonderful memory for all of us.

My parents, our dogs, Brian, and I rented Kokomo 9/11/10 - 9/18/10. I just wanted to tell you that it was the best vacation we have ever had. I live in West Palm Beach, FL and they live in Charlotte, NC. I have been to the Keys previously but my parents had not. We definitely plan to return next year for a week if not sooner. We have also shared your website as well as our beautiful photos with family and friends as they may want to rent one of your properties.

Kokomo is truly a beautiful, serene place. We absolutely loved the property as well as the house and all of the amenities. I saw from the water your two other properties on Morton Street which I had looked on the Internet as well. All are stunning! We will certainly pass along to others our great experience, and you can expect to get future renters by our word of mouth. Again, we will rent from you again in the future. I just wish I could buy the property from you!

I also wanted to tell you that we were very impressed with Donna and Doug, the property managers. We had no real problems except that the air conditioning our second day wasn't working properly and it was taken care of within an hour. That is unbelievable service. Donna and Doug were so kind and cordial; very good people. I also left a set of water skiis there which Donna so kindly retrieved after I called her a couple of days later and is storing them for me at her residence. In addition, I left a necklace in the bedroom and the lady who arrived to clean the residence as we were leaving was kind enough to advise me of this and gave me the necklace which has great sentimental value to me. It is not often that we are privileged enough to deal with such honest, genuine, good people. I just wanted to let you know that these people are doing such a great job, and my family and I really appreciated that!

I will look forward to renting from you again in the near future.

Thank you,

Beth
