About this property

Canal-front home remodeled for HGTV with private swimming pool

  • Completely remodeled by HGTV, this home boasts beautiful furnishings, perfect interior design, and timeless decor that will have you feeling right at home the moment you step through the door! The full kitchen is complete with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and a massive island, so cook up your favorite recipes with ease. Though the inside is a dream come true, make your way out back and you will find a fabulous custom pool on the edge of the dock overlooking the canal! If you don't feel like going inside after a day by the pool, grill up some fish on the gas grill and take advantage of the oversized fish cleaning table to prepare the days catch! After the sun dips below the horizon, step back through the sliding glass doors and watch a movie on the 55-inch flatscreen TV while cozying up on the plush couches. Everyone will drift to sleep to the sound of the water nearby and recharge for the next day's activities!

    As of November 2024 home has all new living room updated furniture and outdoor new furniture as well, home will also have a boat on the lift year round, but plenty of space for your boat while in the home. New updated kitchen amenities. New mattress and bed sheets, pillows, etc.

Nice location, cool vibes home

Pros: -Lovely, cleaned home. Nice first view. -Master Bath and pool towels were excellent. -kitchen appliances new -Plunge pool very nice Cons: - All beds need to be replaced saggy and slides off base. Double bed mattress back room smelled like urine- unuseable, unacceptable -All sheets were cheap with master orange ones even balled- totally unacceptible for the quality of this home. I bought a new king set to use that I took home with me. - Bugs in bathrooms (spiders, silverfish?) I have pictures if you need -Couple cockroaches in kitchen- again unacceptable -Sofa furniture was horrible -views on website did not include large covered boat obstructing view- disappointed -grill inside rusted I would rent this home again if you upgraded the beds and took care of the bug situation. I will definitely use Vacasa again. Easy, responsive. A Vacassa van also stopped by the house. They didn't knock but was nice to know they are in the area if we needed them. That's valuable!

The description of the property was wrong. it was described as having one room with 2 twins which is what i needed for my kids. instead it had one room with a queen, one room with a King a folding bed and one room with a full with a trundle bed. A boat with a grey cover was lifted out of the canal in front of the house, which is all you would see from the pool and living room (kind of sad view). Absolutely no supplies in the kitchen aside from salt and pepper. Only 3 rolls of TP for 5 person for a week. Remote control was so sticky it was unusable. Shower was really hard to set up the temperature. nearly impossible. One shower didn’t have soap but had 2 shampoo bottles..

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this vacation home—it exceeded all of our expectations! The property was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect, offering both peace and convenience. From the comfortable beds to the well-stocked kitchen and relaxing outdoor space, every detail was thoughtfully considered. We truly felt at home and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

Great House

This home was perfect for our family. Beautiful view to the ocean, 2 manatees right off the dock, close to restaurants & stores. Heated pool was a must for my kids and they loved it. Would love to rent this house again in the keys.

Great place

We had a great time. Pool was a little green but overall, we had a wonderful time. Easy access to the Atlantic and Gulf for boaters. As the add says it's tight getting boat trailer in but is doable for the experienced backer.

Tiny paradise

Loved the canal right out back. We were able to rent a boat for a few days and easy access to both gulf and Atlantic sides. We saw manatees a few times and parrot fish right at the stairs. Also being able to bring our dog was a huge plus.

We travel to the Keys every year for our family vacation, this was our first time at this home. This house was absolutely perfect in every way! The house was clean, comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, great location, very boat friendly and an awesome pool perfect for cooling off at the end of the day. We look forward to returning to this house!

Great location for boating

Nice home on the canal. Great for taking the boat out to fish every day. Comfortable beds and it was nice having a washer and dryer available. Home does need more pots,pans and cookie sheets for cooking at the house.

Perfect fit! We docked the boat right outside and had easy access to the Ocean & Gulf. The pool, while small, was great for cooling off and soaking up the sun. We had plenty of room inside & outside for whatever the day had in store!

Dream week in Keys

It was a wonderful house.Everything was just as pictured on the website.The dock was very convenient for keeping the boat at the house. We loved how close the house was to the Vaca Cut, making for easy access to the ocean or gulf.Great week.

Relaxing but Exciting

Pirata is a very calm and peaceful environment. Within a few minutes you can do any activity desired. We kayaked off Sombrero Beach, bicycled, went fishing and enjoyed Crane Hammock Nature Preserve. Several times right at the house we had a very friendly manatee visitor.

Perfect getaway house

We loved this house so much, everything is new and the pool is great size for kids and the dick has great space for two boats, the rooms all have fans and the Ac cooled great. Bathrooms had towels and beach towels, and the washer and dryer are in great condition, we didn’t know which days were trash days which I would have liked to know since we missed one.

awesome stay in marathon for fishing

excellent location and great place for those traveling into town for fishing. we had a 24 foot center console boat that easily fit at the dock and was a quick exit into the atlantic. kitchen was outstanding and was great to have an outside filet table!! bathrooms were tricky as we had 2 couples and 1 with kids. one of the bathrooms is in the room with the bunkbeds. our friends just shared this bathroom with their kids and we had the other bathroom with the washer/dryer. bathrooms were great- excellent water pressure! would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful home and perfect location

We spent a week at this home during spring break with our college-aged children. We rented a boat from a nearby marina and had no problem docking it right by the house. We did choose the option to heat the pool being that it’s March in Florida and not always warm water temps.. It made it the perfect temperature! We usually finished our day sitting in the pool watching the boats go by. One day a manatee stopped by and we gave it freshwater from the hose. Definitely a highlight of the trip.

La Pirata

The canal is great! Quick access to the ocean. Quiet neighbors and peaceful relaxation. The set up of the house is great! Nice appliances as well. The house, lacked AC vents in the bedrooms. We ran box fans to keep them cool. The kitchen was cold but no where else. The roof had 2 leaks and 1 of the leaks went straight into a suitcase!!! We only had 2 rolls of TP and 2 rolls of papwertowels which I thought was insufficient for the week. The trash bags were lacking as well.

Cute house, good location

This house was conveniently located and true to its description. We rented a boat, kept it at the dock, and delighted in all the amenities this property had to offer. The property management team was very responsive & came out right away for a minor repair. The neighbors were friendly and we enjoyed a partial view of the ocean from the front of the house. There are a couple of hurricanes houses being renovated directly across the canal from this house, which we didn’t expect based on price paid to rent here. These were kind of eye sore, but also meant quiet with no one occupying them. My only recommendation is to leave a mop. I swept daily, but would’ve been happy to mop a little to help clean floors cleaner. Overall, we recommend!!
