Important Information for Florida Keys Beaches:

Please note Keys beaches are not like mainland Florida beaches. There is no surf; most of the time, you will only see small waves hitting the shore. The water is inaccessible from the land. If the water Tide is high, you can kayak and paddleboard from shore. If the Tide is low, there's no Ocean From the beach access.

Beaches in the Keys, just like beaches on the mainland, have seaweed that comes and goes. We make it a point to pick up garbage that might come ashore on the beach that is within reach, but we cannot control the seaweed as it comes ashore.

The beach here at this home is man made. If you stepped into the water, you're gonna find that there is sinking sand within a few yards of the shore. On high tide you can swim out to the Sandy turtle grass for snorkeling. The experience of wading to this area can be uncomfortable. It is best to kayak out a few yards. Water shoes are a must.

So why have a beach in the Florida Keys? Sitting and looking at the ocean from your private beach and watching the sea life swim by. Tarpon and bonefish frequent these flats, and you can see them tailing by. Porpoises swimming and breaching the surface, and maybe even a sting ray jumping out of the water and the ever-changing watercolor depending on wind and tide. A great sense of calmness will overtake you in this idyllic setting.

Pet Friendly - please ask about pet restrictions and pet fees. This will be based on breed, size & number. Pet fee starts at $200.00

Max pets: 2

You must be 25 or older to rent. (25-year-old must be present during entire stay)

The pool and the hot tub were great. The shallow water and sinking into sand made kayaking a bit of a challenge, but worth the effort. The stairs were daunting for us as seniors. The view, once you were upstairs, was wonderful. Mike and Betty

Fun in the Keys

This house was perfect for our family. We stayed here with our adult children and 22 month old grandchild. The house has multiple seating areas and was very comfortable for 7 of us. Very clean and furnished nicely.Loved the pool and ocean. We were able to get kayaks out during high tide. Quick response from rental agency when we had questions. We had a very enjoyable, relaxing vacation and will cherish the memories. 😊

Keys vacation

The house was nice, the appliances such as the microwave-we could only do 30 seconds at a time, stove no matter what setting it stayed on high heat. The lawn people clean the palm trees on Saturday so there were no available garbage cans until Tuesday. Even today when we left they were filling all the cans with the tree branches.
