Perfect for families with kids
Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay. 2 kids age 8 and 10 loved the pool area. Beautiful ocean view. Excellent, excellent quiet location. Would highly recommend. House a bit dated, but nothing thats going to stop anyone from staying there. We would definitely stay there again. Only minus we have to complain about was the bad seaweed smell. Not enough to deter backyard activities.

*****
My family had such a wonderful time at this beautiful property and made lifelong memories. House was clean and had plenty of room for our family. We loved grilling on the back porch and taking in those beautiful sunsets! The view of the water looked like a postcard. We loved the backyard and were able to fish, kayak, and paddle board right off the dock. House is in a wonderful location. We scheduled a snorkel trip in Key Largo and made a day trip to Key West. The rest of the trip we enjoyed excursions around Marathon to Dolphin Encounter, Turtle Hospital, Crane Point Hammock Museum & Nature Trails, Sombrero Beach, and Bahia Honda State Park. Lots of great restaurants near house along with ice cream and treats. Family had a wonderful time and would definitely come back.

We absolutely loved this home !!! And our family had an amazing time !!! It is a beautiful home inside and out !!! Very well stocked with everything you need !!! And wow how beautiful it was to be able to wake up every morning in the master bedroom and look out at that view !!! Just gorgeous !!! We loved the pool as well, it's so pretty !!! And the palm trees were beautiful and added much needed shade at times. We went in the pool every morning and evening and in between. The dock is a bonus, the boys did a lot of fishing !!! We saw a beautiful school of parrot fish at the dock every morning... a pair of nurse sharks on the first day... a barracuda that hung around all week, a couple snappers and a family of iguanas that visited here and there each day. We snorkeled at the dock and saw a ton of color fish that you can't see from the dock looking in. We made so many amazing memories in your home !!! Thank you for opening it up for guests. We already tried to book for next year but it's all booked up ): just a really really beautiful property !!! Thank you again !!!
