55th Birthday Party Blast!

8 women gathered for several days at Shadow Point. The property was so fabulous, the views stunning and the home charming. We never expected or imagined this place could be so special, but it is. The uniqueness of this home is in its historic charm and artistic expressions seen throughout. The home and property are very well-maintained and it was refreshing to see the preservation of an "old florida" home. Great spot to get away from it all and relax. The owner was very easy to work with. Highly recommended!!!

My family of 6 had a great time during our one week vacation at Shadow Point! The two houses were ideally located to satisfy the diverse interests of our adult children. The highlights of our week included snorkeling on nearby Pennekamp State Park reefs, fishing among the mangroves, and exploring local sites. After busy days, we enjoyed coming home to the charm, comforts, seclusion, and waterfront vistas of Shadow Point.

We all came down for a last week together after graduating from high school. It was fabulous! Just a few parents and my closest friends. What a way to end our time together.
The house was just how I remember from when I was a little kid, the view was spectacular, and by the end of the week no one wanted to leave.
Everything from the snorkeling to the fishing to the shopping in town was so much fun. I really recommend this getaway for anyone looking to sit back, relax, and take in all that natural beauty!

My husband and I rented just the cottage for 9 days in March. Marlee (the owner) was concerned it might be too rustic, on its own, with no TV. We were delighted! (And it did have wifi...) our only interruption was when a ten pound iguana fell out of a tree near the porch (He was very embarrassed). The kitchen had everything we needed, the decor reflected the house having been in the family for almost 100 years, and the property itself is everything the previous reviews say, and more. We had another couple visit for a few days, and had plenty of room - could even have had more visitors with the fold-out in the living room. A historic property that everyone in Key Largo seems to know and love!

I spent a week here with children and grandchildren. It was truly a step back in history to a charming and fascinating house located on a most beautiful and unique piece of property providing complete privacy. The spectacular sunrises are not to be missed.
The description is accurate, the property well maintained and Marlee was always helpfull.
The kids and adults enjoyed swimming, kayaking, sailing and snorkeling on the property as well as visits to Pennekamp State Park and Everglades National Park. We all enjoyed dinner at the Fish House and Mandalay resaurants.
Everyone of all ages enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave. Thanks Marlee for a great week.

We had a great time staying here for our family Thanksgiving vacation. Shadow Point is large enough to accommodate the whole family! It was really good that the property is secluded since we are not exactly a quiet bunch!!

Thank you!

We chose this property off of the internet to host our wedding, because we could accomodate the entire wedding party, but had no idea what we was in store for us once we got there. The houses and property are breathtaking, and the gardens (I describe them as the garden of Eden) that surround them are nothing but amazingly beautiful. From the picturesque sunrises in the morning, to the cooling tropical breezes at night, our week at Shadow Point was one of the most memorable weeks of our lives. The wedding held at the end of the week was stunning to say the least. Everyone in attendance agreed it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Marlee helped us every step of the way too, down to hand making tiki torch holders for us and delivering them mid week so we could use them in the wedding. She was very accomodating to any and all of our needs. The kitchen had every ammnity you could ask for, and there is a grill out back for the bbq buff. My husband being an avid fisherman, had the time of his life fishing off of the dock; catching a nurse shark, 2 shovel head sharks, a grouper, and a snapper (all were released). The wildlife includes many friendly squirrels (they love raw peanuts!), two large iguana's, and multiple baby iguana's, as well as cranes, and pippins. The water surrounding the property is crystal clear, and you can view many of the fish, crabs, and other sea creatures right from the docks. This beautiful property has left a permanent mark in our hearts. We intend to return and celebrate our anniversary for years to come.

Thank you so much Marlee for sharing this with others, and for making our wedding day perfection.

Sincerely,

Linward and Suzette

It was like traveling back in time to stay at "Shadow Point". The house and cottage have an "oldy worldy" feel but at the same time every creature comfort is available. The rustic, cheerful and tasteful furnishings are quite charming.

The location is central with many opportunities close by. For those wishing to explore the surrounding area more thoroughly, Key West, Miami or The Everglades are an easy drive away.

The grounds are ample for play or enjoying communing with nature and the views are stunning. It was a delight to watch the sunrise over the Bay and then enjoy a swim right off the dock!

The owners are welcoming, amenable and willing to accommodate in every way. Personally, I can't wait to return!!
