The views out over the ocean were the best - especially at sunset. And the big screened in front porch was great too - and hard to find in the Keys! We really enjoyed the private dock too - saw lots of different fish, and caught a few!

The house is very nice and we had a great stay with our family. My only complaint is that we tried to get in touch numerous times with the property management both by email and phone messages and never got a reply. We had a few simple questions about the house and location and it would have been very helpful in advance to have been able to communicate with the owners or management.

What we were looking for

We were looking for a spot that had easy access to the water and slightly remote. This place was perfect. Not a lot going on right around the house, but we could get out and do things with a short drive.

What a wonderful spot. The private dock, screened-in porch and open floor plan are just a few of our favorites. The host is lovely and the king bed is very comfortable. I loved all of the sea life to explore and the quiet sunsets. We will definitely be back! Loved every minute of our stay.

Wonderful vacation home on Big Torch Key

I had a wonderful 3 weeks stay at Beachside@Torchview. I loved the privacy of the house, the gorgeous sunset views, and the peaceful mornings sitting out on the deck while drinking my morning coffee. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the busy Florida Keys. It was everything I had hoped for, and I will definitely be staying here again if I decide to return to the Keys next year. The house was very clean and suited my needs perfectly, and the host was very accommodating.

A perfect home with a view

As a family of 4 with a 4 & 5 year old this place was great. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony in the mornings. Fishing off the pier in the evenings. Beds were comfortable. It’s just far enough away to offer seclusion and yet close to things when rainy days take you off the water. Overall this home was exactly what we wanted. Would definitely stay again.

Second Stay

This was the second time we've stayed at this property. We rented it for fall break 2023 and 2024. We always have a blast at this house! The location is beautiful, private, and quiet. We had so many Key deer in the front yard each evening. The fishing is great. We caught so many fish and several sharks. The house is always clean and comfortable.

Beautiful stillness

This place was everything it was billed as. Wonderfully quiet and scenic but only 10 minutes from a "normal"grocery store. We saw as much rare and wonderful stuff on the drive to and from the place as we did at some of the spots we visited. We really loved that the porch was screened and thus bug free but that you could go out to a non-screened part for pictures of the sunset - which was remarkable every night. We had great communication from Theresa and the one thing I needed fixed - a part of the grill that was broken - was fixed within hours of me letting her know. Could not have had a more enjoyable stay - just wish it was not so far away from Michigan ;)
Rare color variation of Great Blue Heron - seen from the road by the house
Key deer were a bit "overly friendly" Clearly used to getting handouts although that is strictly forbidden

Family of 5 summer vacation everyone left happy!

One of the best summer vacations for the fam! Having the dock is a game changer with the addition of renting a boat to be able to get around the beautiful waters. Right there at the house you encounter aquatic and land wildlife, the Key Deer are adorable! We saw nurse sharks, barracuda, snapper, horseshoe crabs, baby black tip sharks, amazing sunsets, crabs, iguana. Fishing was a great way to spend the evenings after a day of boating, or if you’re an 11 year old boy, the whole dang day! Many shark, barracuda and snapper were caught. Kiki’s quickly became a dinner staple and we recommend doing the fried grouper bites appetizer, the peanut butter pie, the tacos and load up on the special tartar sauce! Catch live music at 6 for vibes. Definitely recommend a stay at Beachside @ Torchview.

Fl keys trip

The property was wonderful, just as descibed we mostly chose this property for the water access as we had a boat and trailer. Unfortunately it was too windy most of the week to dock at the pier so we just used the bahia honda boat ramp and kept the boat on the trailer at night. Very convenient location, a nice 40 minute to key west and 20 minutes to bahia honda .The house is very secluded a very wooded drive in off the highway. Can't say enough about the property, very well furnished and very clean. No issues at all.It is on well water so there is no water available outside for a hose which is understandable. Would definitely stay again.
