Lobster Season stay

Jason and Sara Jacksonville, FL
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We had a great vacation and this house was a wonderful location for boating. We had five adults and two boats and had a wonderful time. The third bedroom would definitly be better suited for kids as it was slightly smaller than the others but it worked for the one adult we had staying there. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed spending the afternoons relaxing on the balcony watching the beautiful view. It was a great location to boat from as it took no time to get to great spots in the bay or ocean side for fishing or diving. I do have to say though that we were disappointed there was no hammock on the balcony. We were looking forward to relaxing in the breeze...but we were still able to do that just fine on the spacious porch. The porch was my favorite part of the house. It was the perfect place to spend time together or relax with a book. We went to Wahoos for dinner and we were not thrilled. It was very pricey and had a very smal menu. Also dirty. But we would recommend Jimmy Johnsons Big Chill in Key Largo. This place was also on the exspensive side but we ate their twice and had great food. It had the best key lime pie I have ever had. Also the tiki bar there was a great place to hang out and have a drink on Friday night.
Owner's Response: Thanks, Jason and Sara. Sorry the hammock was broken and had to be replaced. We'll save you the best seat in the house next time!

A Beautiful and Comfortable Family Home.

Britoverseas Jacksonville, FL
Review Submitted: March 18, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My family and I enjoyed a fabulous long weekend in this very comfortable beach house. The house was very well equipped, clean, spacious and welcoming. It is set off a nice quite road with friendly neighbours. Six of us stayed and had lots of room. My kids (7 and 3) thought the house was fantastic with a large indoor swing, safe beach area to play on and rocks to explore in the water. There were also books, games, videos and DVDs for young children. There are a lot of steps though for the old or very young but a stair gate was provided should you need it. I was comfortable with my 3 year old running around freely.
The owner telephoned to check everything was ok and was very friendly and helpful.
The house provided and ideal location to explore further south along the Keys or further north to the Everglades - which we did. Everything we needed was there or nearby.
We had no problems with the house at all apart from not wanting to leave!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your helpful comments - I'm sure this will be a big help for those visiting our site.

We so enjoyed our stay in the Keys. The house was absolutely beautiful. It had all the amenities that we needed to have a nice relaxing stay. The neighborhood was nice too. The people were all so friendly. I loved the french doors, the hammack, the dock and the view! We even kayak'd out to the island and back - that was a workout!! Told all my friends about it and I hope to be able to go again in the near future!! Thanks for everything!
Owner's Response: Thanks, Karen for your kind comments!

My sister and I stayed in the Tolly home for a (way too short) weekend to celebrate my birthday.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this house! The home is alive with sunshine! The master suite is wonderful! And the Victorian tub is a dream.

The privacy and size of the decks made us feel like we were in our own private hideaway.

The kayaking was safe and offered easy and challenging choices.

We are hoping to come back for a longer stay and bring our families with us next time!

We both would highly recommend this home!
Owner's Response: thank you so much fo you ecent stay! We appreciate you business!

Wonderful vacation home

Swim family Memphis, TN
Review Submitted: January 13, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
This home was wonderfully appointed and in an idyllic location. The facility was exactly as described and close to shopping and Founder's Park, where 3 of my children swam twice a day. The sunrises, which could be viewed from two of the bedrooms and the back porch and deck, were spectacular, and a great way to wake up each morning. On the final day of our stay a school of dolphin swam by the dock to the pleasure of our entire family. The Tolley's were easy to deal with and we would certainly recommend staying here if the opportunity should arise. I cannot say enough good things, and the nice home made a good vacation great. Our only regret was having to return to the colder midsouth.
Owner's Response: We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you have a chance to return! paula

Our entire family thank the Tolly's so much for sharing their beautiful home and spot in the Keys. The house & views were absolutely beautiful. Also the 10 pages of info that we received before our visit really helped make every perfect.
Owner's Response: Thank you, Phyllis, for your comments. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back again in the future! paula

Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat!

C.J. Canada
Review Submitted: April 11, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2007
This oceanfront home has breathtaking sunrises and magnificent views. Tranquility and peace abound! There is a spacious and private deck on which to relax with a good book. It's also a fun place to snorkel, kayak or fish. The interior of the home is spacious, with a large open-concept great room / kitchen overlooking the ocean. During our stay, all basic essentials were provided and the home was very clean and well maintained. We found things to be exactly as advertised. The owners are extremely helpful and are more than willing to answer any questions you may have. It's easy to walk to groceries, movie theatre, bookstore, hospital, etc. Other great restaurants are easily accessible by car. This is a great spot for a peaceful getaway. Highly recommended!
