Great house with private pool for my family of 14!
From check in to check out we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet community with beautiful beach. Logan and Michelle were available and responsive to questions. Short walk to the beach via the community boardwalk. Plenty of space for everyone! Loved it!
This property had it all : beautiful house, full amenities in kitchen, plenty of space for all , pool and lounge chairs , quick access to beach and lagoon. The property manager is amazing to work with - it was a wonderful experience all around !!

Perfect as Always
Thank you for an amazing rental. This is our 2nd time booking with your company at Laguna Key. We're looking forward to next year ☺️
The property is great for larger groups offering a variety of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The location is private with easy access to the beach. The property is located a way from a lot of the attractions and golf courses, and I would highly recommend renting a vehicle. Uber and Lyft are not a reliable means of transportation. The pool is wonderful and the living room/kitchen offers a comfortable way to enjoy everyone's company. Overall an excellent property!

Spacious home/Quiet neighborhood
The home was filthy when our first car arrived!!! A cleaning crew arrived but it was 3 hours before we were able to move in to the home at 7:00pm!!!
Tile floors were not very clean. They had been vacuumed, but not likely wet mopped
Debris accumulated in pool during the week and skimming net was broken.
Park-type picnic area grill is not ideal
