Good for a group
We had a multigenerational family group and booked both the upstairs and downstairs units. This gave us enough space and we appreciated the designated parking. The outdoor spaces were great for hanging out & enjoying the sunset/sunrise views. We used the boat slip area to have photos taken. The location was central/convenient is Islamorada. The host was very responsive.

Fantastic place with an awesome location!
We were a group of 4 couples celebrating 50th bdays. The place was fantastic! Loved sitting by the water in the morning. Loved the walk ability to shops, breweries, and restaurants. Host was the quickest and most responsive that I have had. We will definitely be booking in the future!

Six Chicks Trip
The property was PERFECT in every way! Actually all was better than what we expected. The grounds were just beautiful and a great location. Walking distance to plenty of stuff and a little strip of Atlantic beach less than a 5 minute walk away. Sean was always very responsive and accommodating. The “retro” groove was so cute with all modern conveniences! If I could give it 10 stars I would.

Hidden Gem it is!
Great place, serene and tranquill on the Gulf side with magnificent sunsets, great guests in other units and a property manager that kept us well informed and eager to assist if needed. You'd never know that US 1 was there but it was very convenient and walkable to a good number of bars and restaurants

Perfect location
We went to Islamorada to go scuba diving. All the dive shops we had booked were within a few minutes. The outside patio was perfect for eating al fresco and sitting around talking. The host was attentive and quick to answer questions. I would definitely recommend staying here. And if I ever come back to the Keys , I would stay here again.
