"The home is beautiful, the pool watm and inviting. Given the time of year, we opted to pay an extra fee to heat the pool and would recommend it if traveling with small children or elderly. The home offers LOTS of extras with bikes, board games, beach chairs and mats, a cooler on wheels and TONS of beach and pool towels. We were very happy with the stay and would stay again!"

"This was a beautiful home with great floor plan and amenities. Location close to grocery, bike trails including to 7-mile bridge and Sombrero beach, and easy drive to Key West. Shaded pool in the afternoon. My relatives found homes close by as well to make it a great location for a family reunion."

"It was a perfect home for 8 adults and one infant. We loved the heated pool, kayaks in the channel, biking around the neighborhood. We had two of our adult children use the downstairs bedrooms and they liked the privacy of their rooms. We also enjoyed all the board games, beach chairs/towels and other fun games like large Connect Four. We went to a lot of different restaurants and bars in the area and took a drive to Key West to shop and went on a 1-1/2 sunset cruise. It was a great week to enjoy the sun and we got to see a big Super Bowl win by the Chiefs!!!"
