What an awesome place!

Review Submitted: November 18, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
In September we spent a week at the beautiful Jetson House. The apartment is providing everything you need and is arranged in great detail. The view is outstanding combined with the private beach the Jetson House is an awesome place!.

We explored the sourroundings going out with the kayak. Saw nice fish while snorkeling and as we went on planning what to do next we had to face that it was already our last sunset at the wonderful private beach.

Jerry, the host, welcomed us very friendly and helped where he could. He also knows a lot about local spots to go to although we didn´t took much advantage of this. Jerry is definetly a reliable and nice person to deal with!

Thanks, you´ll hear from us!

Wonderful Honeymoon Spot!

CEKS Buffalo, New York
Review Submitted: September 1, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My husband and I stayed at this property during our recent honeymoon (8-24 through 8-31, 2009). It was incredible! The owner's attention to detail is outstanding. The apartment was immaculately clean upon arrival and the furnishings are top notch. There is a very handy remote controlled blind which makes for a dramatic wake up moment. The bathroom is super modern with a beautiful sink. I was most please when an item I needed would cross my mind and I'd open a drawer and there it would be. The owner is very friendly, super- attentive and always willing to please. You will be more than satisfied with your stay.

The view of the Florida bay is just wonderful. We sat out every evening and enjoyed the sunset. One evening we were greeted by dolphins as we enjoyed a kayack. We also befriended a manatee. We snorkeled right off the beach and truly enjoyed the water. On land we were thrilled to witness the comings and goings of sand crabs going about their business.

We visted several local restaurants and were always happy. The Taveneer was excellent. We also also enjoyed Ma's Fish Camp for casual lunches. Lazy Days was nice. Pierre's was expensive, but lovely. You must hit the Midway Cafe- great breakfast spot. We also enjoyed Mangrove Mike's for breakfast. One of the most enjoyable aspects of Islamorada was the lack of chain restaurants. If you like "local" then you'll love Islamorada. As Buffalo, New York resisdents we really found it hard to leave and have been fanticizing about moving there ever since. If you are interested in scuba diving the folks at Bud and Mary's were very friendly and have everything you need to rent. We dove Aligator Light and had a great time.

Look no further. Rent this property. You will be utterly thrilled!

Jetson House is that much and more!

Mark & Donna Atlanta, GA
Review Submitted: August 23, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My husband and I just returned from a wonderful week at the Jetson House. It was just what the DR ordered for a relaxed, quiet escape vacation. The private beach is just amazing, the apartment is perfect for 2 people and the view is astounding. The sunsets are not to be missed!. We watched most from the comfort of the beach chairs provided chest high in the water with drink in hand. Jerry provided great info on the local hot spots and was a wonderful host. You must eat at the Hungry Tarpin atleast once on your visit....food is excellent.

I hate to write too many glowing remarks as I want to be able to book again in the future. We'll be going back really soon!

THE place to stay in the Keys

Brit-boys United Kingdom
Review Submitted: July 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My partner Steve and myself rented The Jetson house for two weeks over June/July and had the most wonderful time. It really is the coolest house on the block, and having our own personal piece of the beach to watch sunsets and frolicking dolphins just added to the magic.
Compact inside without being cramped, the accomodation is perfectly adequate with an extremely comfortable bed and great size shower.
Having the kayak was a fun addition though I think should have been included within the price of the rental, as is the gas barbecue and laundry facilities.
If we ever return to the Keys it would be to stay back at The Jetsons.
No doubt about it.

Fantastic Spot

Diver Kit Seattle, WA
Review Submitted: June 24, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We loved our week at the Jetson house - we had planned to go out to dinner at least a few times during our diving trip, but we opted to just "go home" each day and throw some stuff on the grill, sitting outside to watch the sunset and evening thunderstorms off over the Gulf for our entertainment. We opted for the kayak offered by Jerry - enjoyed a few evening paddles through nearby canals and along the shore. We spent many hours occupying the beach chairs with a beverage and a book in hand. Simply lovely spot - quiet, pretty, comfortable, very shallow bay - just tons of fun. Hoping to return soon!

A Great Week!

Review Submitted: May 25, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My wife and I recently spent a week at the Jetson House for a belated honeymoon. The pictures do not do the place justice! The privacy alone was worth every penny! We spent most days relaxing on the private beach, snorkeling (saw a manatee and dolphins), grilling, and kayaking. The owner was friendly and available, and gave us some great advice on area restaurants and activities. The house was first class and perfect for two people. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the keys.

Absolutely Amazing!

SG & JL Rochester, NY
Review Submitted: May 13, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My boyfriend and I spent a wonderful week towards the end of March in the Jetson's House and we couldn't have been more pleased! We spent a lot of time hanging out on the beach, drinking cocktails and enjoying the sun. No need to deal with the public beaches when you have your own private beach. The house is very clean and has everything you could need for the week! We wouldn't hesitate to come back!

A Slice of Paradise

Elinor and Susan North Carolina
Review Submitted: April 20, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
In our recent stay at the Jetson's house, we had a GREAT time. Everything others had written about the place was true. It is so well-appointed inside and out. Heck, they had even raked the sand on the beach before we arrived!

Aside from a brief jaunt down to Key West, we didn't really want to go anywhere else, even though there are plenty of things to do in the area. This spot was so wonderful that nothing else could match it.

Our days consisted of kayaking, riding bikes through the local neighborhood, lounging on the rafts in the warm water, reading on the beach, and enjoying evening cocktails while watching the amazing sunsets.

We just returned from one week at The Jetson's House in March, and agree entirely with all of the other reviews - the only down-side was that one week was not long enough. This is a great home-base from which to experience the rest of the Keys, and then return to the tranquility and serene beauty of this lovely apartment. It is located in a very natural setting in a multi-million dollar area of Islamorada. While the apartment is small, it is perfect for 2 people. It is spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and appointed with all high-end ammenities, and lovingly cared for by the friendly and helpful owners. Wake up in the morning to the gentle sound of the surf and the birds, and then after a perfect day, toast the sunset on your own piece of paradise!

Beautiful location. Meticulously maintained accommodations. Well planned accouterments and upscale furnishings. Helpful, friendly and informative landlords.

These prime ingredients combined to create a relaxing and care-free week of vacation for my husband and myself. In fact, we did not leave the apartment and beach for the first two days. This rental experience exceeded our expectations. We plan to return next year and would not hesitate to recommend the “Jetson House/Apartment” to family and friends.
