LAGOON KEYS PARADISE AT YOUR DOOR - CORNER CANAL LOT END OF ST

I had to write this review because my wife gets all teary eyed thinking about it. Once we got settled in with groceries and found everything we needed to get comfy, we could stop all movement and just absorb the view and boy what a view!
Instead of looking across the canal and seeing another house you can enjoy the natural setting with mangroves, birds, fish and gorgeous sunsets. People see the pictures we took of the sunsets and can't believe their eyes.
We made a couple of trips into Key West but other than a fabulous show (39 Steps) at the Water Front theater, I can not think of any other reason to leave the neighborhood; unless to take a boat out to Looe Key or the back waters of Gulf side. Every evening we would take our beverages down to the sea wall and feed the fish, watch the Osprey nest across the way and herons hunting their dinner. The tranquility would be hard found elsewhere.
Every morning and every evening the local boats would make their way to sea and return, often times with fresh catch for dinner. Access to the water was so easy that if you have a boat you want to go out onto the open water and watch the sun set behind Cudjoe Key. We enjoyed the surrounding views so much I almost forgot to say how comfortable the house was.
We sleep soundly every night and it was such a wonderful thing to wake up for coffee and watch the sun rise. With Murray's grocery store just around the corner we had everything we needed to enjoy some nice home cooked meals if we did not feel the need to go to some of the local restaurants. And there are nice restaurants near by (Wharf and a must) but you almost hate to leave the house in case you miss something right outside your door.
We definitely would stay here again with some good friends.

We didn't know what to expect when we arrived in Summerland Key. We knew we wanted to visit Key West, but were also seeking peace and quiet. If you want the thrills of Key West, but looking for some days of serenity then this home is the ticket. A quick drive from Key West this home offers all the amenities, gourmet kitchen, big screen TV with cable, walk in pantry, central air, and washer/dryer to name a few. Upon your arrival you don't know what to do first, take a walk along the upper deck, take a tour of the home to see where you will be hanging your hat for a while, or better yet, take a walk along the beautiful hand made rock wall that borders the perimeter of the home along the canal (which by the way is the perfect place to watch amazing sunsets while sipping on a cocktail). While you are out looking at the canal, make sure you don't miss the extensive assortment of fish swimming just below your feet. Oh did we mention there is an outdoor shower? Perfect way to cool off after a day of sunning and swimming in the canal. If you are one that likes to dine out while on vacation then this place is for you, the home is located within reach of some of the best dining that we have ever experienced, make sure you visit The Wharf Bar & Grill and Kaya Island Eats to name a few. Murray's Market is nearby and is the perfect place for stocking up the pantry. We could go on and on so many things we could say about this home. It is refreshing to arrive to a home that is a home away from home. The owners have taken every step to assure upon your arrival the home is ready to greet you. This was our first time to Summerland Key and we fell in love, it is on the books for next year. You will feel the same upon your departure.

Location, Location, Location! We have been vacationing in the lower Florida Keys for the past 35 years and the Lagoon Home on Summerland Key is our favorite destination. Great Atlantic and Gulf side access...and located on a beautiful corner lot with a shady afternoon patio for relxing after a big day on the water. Key West is only 24 miles away!
