MILLION DOLLAR VIEW very private 4 bedroom resort with pool, pier, kayaks, spa

MILLION DOLLAR VIEW very private 4 bedroom resort with pool, pier, kayaks, spa

10/10 Excellent
"We just wrapped up a magical week at this amazing property! We were fortunate to have all four of kids and a son in law with us. The pier is incredible! 285’ into the Gulf! We saw a manatee, several tarpon, and two types of sharks. We also caught snapper, grunt, barracuda and more with cut bait. The pool was immaculate and the house doesn’t disappoint in any way. Plenty of cookware, dishes, and utensils for us to stock up and use the fully equipped kitchen. Great week at a great place!"

Sunsets in Paradise~ Gulf Front Pool Home, 22' Dock, Kayaks, Bikes & Paddleboards

10/10 Excellent
"I didn't want to leave!! I've been religiously coming to the keys every summer for the past 10 years and every vacation usually by the end of my stay, I'm ready to go home, but this was my first time that I didn't want to leave! By far, my favorite stay! For me and my family it was the perfect location, beautiful property, beautiful views, perfect for fishing, swimming, snorkeling, boating, loved the privacy, everything about it was perfect! Everyone with booking was so kind and always answered any of my questions. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to give my kids the best memories! I can't wait to come back!"

"Staff was friendly. Room was great stocked with dishes microwave full size frig. Spacious and had a pull out couch bed that was so helpful. Had a front area with tables and chairs, plus umbrellas. Pool was clean and refreshing. They even had kayaks, paddle boards to use for free. Bikes for free. Even breakfast for free. And not just your continental one, we had eggs, pancakes, bacon,sausage, French toast, It was awesome. I’m so glad I chose them. I felt safe since I travel alone with my teenager that means a lot to me. It’s close to a lot of excursions and beaches."

Luxury Oceanfront Retreat w/ Private Beach & Pool

10/10 Excellent
"House was actually larger than the pictures made it look, which was awesome. Two families, 5 kids and 4 adults, had plenty of space and enjoyed our week in the Florida Keys staying at this house! We were in the pool most every day, the views are incredible as well. Beach area is as described, so don't rent the house expecting to walk out to the beach and swim, but the listing description was very clear about this. We were comfortable and the house is incredible, I would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again."
