What an awesome house in a perfect location! Easy access to the open water for fishing and snorkeling and it's also very close to Sombrero Beach and shopping.

You don't have to leave the property though. With the pool and the kayaks, there's plenty of entertainment on site.

House is very nicely decorated and is perfect for 2 families or 3 couples. Also loved having coffee and other drinks out on the deck overlooking the canal. Very peaceful to watch the wildlife and sunsets!

Would love to return again next year.

Nice house with accessible double car garage for vehicle or water toy storage. Our truck was garaged for the full visit.

Photo's do not reflect the nice updated flat screen TV currently in the Family Room. Just like home for us. High Speed internet worked great. Nice interior layout for families.

Fantastic view off the deck. No obstructions across the canal other than nature itself. Good view of Boot Key channel enabling you to sit on the deck and view a wide variety of boats coming and going, in addition to the great sunsets.

Plenty of docking area and the sand beach puts you in the mood for Margaritaville while watching the boats and the sun playing off the water.

The heated pool got plenty of use and was a nice diversion. The bicycles were put to good use too. The kayaks are available for touring the harbor, protected for the most part from wind and waves. We used our jet ski's to low speed tour the harbor (no wakes please) and to explore the 7 Mile Bridge. Sombrero Reef was within view of our ride. Sister's Creek is another ride that's interesting if you get the opportunity to take to the water.

There are plenty of good restaurants in the area in addition to access to parks for hiking. Try walking the pedestrian bridge next to the 7 Mile Bridge. If you go all the way to the end, you'll get to view the many recreational fishing boats while they pull in the catch of the day.

We look forward to returning another time for more sun and fun.

Such a beautiful home, so clean and new! We loved our stay at Boot Key Retreat! The deck was wonderful morning, noon and night. We loved being right on the water. So much to do and so convenient to so much, we will definitely be staying again and again!

This house is not only beautiful but is in a perfect location. The canal is within minutes of the Atlantic or Gulf. The house is in a nice, quiet area, half way down the keys. The decor is beautiful. The kitchen is stocked with all the utensils you'll need. There are videos and books for your use. Grocery stores, restaurants, and fishing stores nearby. This was one of our favorite vacations, location, and rental house.

What a great house! We had a wonderful vacation and Doug and Donnna the caretakers could not have been nicer. Fishing and snorkeling was great and close. I recommend you ask Doug about his boat for rent. It was great!

If you are a scuba diver or fisherman this is the perfect location for both. The owners thought of everything from gear storage to bait freezer to fish cleaning table with running water. Boot Key Retreat was the perfect place for a family vacation also. With the pool and the patio and deck, not to mention the beautiful interior of the home. The kitchen/dining room area was a great place for eating and fellowship. We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay at Boot Key Retreat and are looking forward to a return trip in the future.

Sincerely,
The Henry Family
