Property Information |
|
The residence was built in 1995 as a unique home consisting of two octagonal structures linked together and surrounded by airy verandahs. At 3,500 square feet, plus another 1,500 square feet of screened verandahs (thus bringing the overall total to approximately 5,000 square feet), the home is both the largest and newest on any offshore island in the Florida Keys.
Entering the ground floor of the house, one finds a large anteroom and a staircase ascending to the living quarters above. The second floor contains the three bedrooms along with the two guest bedrooms both spacious and outfitted with beautiful Teak furnishings and queen size beds in addition to their individual full bathrooms. Glass french doors lead to an adjoining 12 ft. by 30 ft. balcony upon which one can relax while overlooking the pool. The master bedroom features Teak furnishings as well with a King size bed and a luxurious bathroom including a whirlpool/jacuzzi/shower combination. Leading out of the master bedroom french doors is yet another large private balcony with a wonderful view overlooking the front yard.
With the installation of separate central air-conditioning systems for the 2nd and 3rd floors, guests can choose their comfort level for the living and sleeping quarters and, with a full laundry room on the 2nd floor, guests are thus able to pack less during their stay at Melody Key.
The house is equipped with every convenience, including clothes washer and dryer, dishwasher, satellite television, CD player, VCR, Tivo, free wireless internet, a Hi-Definition plasma TV, a state-of-the-art stereo system, and a DVD player to complete the package. There is also a small library of DVD's about what is fun to do in the Keys as well as a few movies that are set in and around the Keys.
The third floor sports a spacious great room with a 14-foot beamed ceiling and a wet bar. The bar tops a magnificent 300 gallon salt water aquarium stocked with native tropical fish and invertebrates. The dining room offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic ocean and surrounding islands which, combined with the great room and sprawling balcony with 35 ft. of glass, gives you a one-of-a-kind dining experience. The house has verandahs facing every direction. No matter what time of day or night there is a place to relax with a fabulous view.
The fully equipped gourmet kitchen features a large side-by-side refrigerator island cook-top including grill, oven, dishwasher, and breakfast bar. Just off of the kitchen is a work station that is Wi Fi ready for your convenience.
The kitchen opens onto yet another verandah which contains a spiral staircase leading to the “crows nest” balcony. Up here, four stories above the island, you can experience superb bird watching, unparalleled panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The crows nest is at the maximum height allowed by law in the Keys giving it what most consider to be the best panoramic view one can find in the Lower Keys. Breathtaking is the word most would use to describe the 360 degree view provided only at Melody Key.
We recommend flying in to Key West. There, you can rent a car and it's just a 30 minute drive to Summerland Key where you will be met by our staff. taken by boat to the island, and given an orientation tour. If you prefer not to rent a car, limo service can be arranged.
