Last mimute weekend getaway w/ the wife & kids

Once a year my father flies down and spends time with his three sons – this year we came across a great home in Key Largo. Walking up the stairs I was immediately blown away by the front doors – absolutely beautiful. As you open the doors you are greeted by warm wood tones, great amenities and an ever present feeling that you have finally made it to “The Keys…” As always when we are on vacation we eat A LOT, Key Largo was no exception – we started at Ballyhoos and enjoyed all you can eat Stone crab, later had lunch at Sundowners and enjoyed sailboats passing by! Another nice part of the vacation was being able to SAVE money by eating in – the kitchen was nicely appointed with all the essentials. We fished off the back dock and enjoyed Kayaking through the canal and into the crystal clear waters of the Bay. Our last day we kayaked out to the Bay again, skirted the edge and came across a Manatee! In the end this was one of those vacations that will always live on in our memories – a father and three sons creating memories someplace that will always be very dear to their hearts. Next question, WHEN DO WE COME BACK?????

My husband, daughter and I spent a week at this property over our spring break. The home was extremely private and comfortable. It was the perfect location for our week in the keys. We were able to SCUBA at John Pennekamp Park, kayak the keys, and take day trips to Everglades National Park and Key West. Howard and Lily were perfect hosts and checked in with us regularly to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Thanks for a great week

The house is awesome, to say the least! It was really great being able to keep our boat docked up right behind the house, so every morning we could just pack it up and go on a new adventure. The Winn-Dixie right down the road was very convienent, along with the various resturaunts and shopping available. We really enjoyed our stay here and we even made new friends with the next-door neighbor. We will definitely be back here to visit again! Thank you!

This little house is a gem. The property was clean and well kept. Big enough for 2 adults and our 3 adolescent kids. As the add says, the location is great with easy access to ocean and bay. We rented a boat close by and spent the weekend swimming and snorkeling. You can also kayak and fish from the house. The restaurants in the area were marvelous. The owner was efficient and very friendly. Highly recommend it. Loved it.

Had a wonderful stay in this really great house. We loved the coziness and warmth. We really like the layout of the home and location wise was just great for us as we did a lot of activities in and around the area. Fishing was fantastic although the waters required us to wear wetsuits when we went for a dive excursion. We visited the Swim with Dolphins, the Bird sanctuary, a number of Tiki bars and great restaurants, some sandbars, John Pennekamp state park (we snorkled the Statue of Jesus, and more. Lots of fun the whole 2 weeks and we loved coming home to your great A-frame in Key Largo. We will be back next year!
Thank you for your hospitality and information. Great stuff! Really what dreams are made of!
Thank you,
Harrison & Lisa

After spending a week at this lovely home in Key Largo we can only say that, should you be searching for a vacation rental in the area, this is definitely IT! Not only is the house perfectly situated to take advantage of the best that the Florida Keys have to offer, but the owners are great hosts who will take care of you as if you were family. The home is incredibly comfortable, with every amenity you could wish for, an awesome bed (always important after a tiring, activity-filled day!) and a lovely, airy outdoor area right under the house that provides shade from the mid-day sun, plenty of parking space, outdoor shower, charcoal grill and a table and comfy chairs to lounge back in and enjoy that well-deserved brew you've been craving all day. Oh, yeah, almost forgot: there's also a great little Tiki Hut! If you have a boat you'll be very pleased with the dock that's right on the canal where we had the opportunity to observe wildlife up-close: herons, egrets and even an immense iguana! There's a Winn Dixie literally two minutes away walking distance and you're very close to the best restaurants that Key Largo has to offer. If you like fish and seafood in general, try the incomparable Fish House for some really fresh, delicious fare and great service. You're also close to the mainland for some touristy adventures like the Evergaldes National Park, the Miami Seaquarium or the Alligator Farm. And if you're there for diving, you're definitely in the right place! We had some really awesome dives on the Spiegel Grove, Duane and Bibb and incredible underwater photo ops that included bull sharks, turtles and tons of little cute seacritters. As already mentioned, the owners, Howard and Lily, are incredibly gracious hosts who will take care of you as much (or as little, if you want privacy!) as you wish. We would recommend this home to anyone without any reservations. Enjoy your vacation!
