Das ist das Paradies! Schöne 2 Morgen Oceanfront Beach, ein Muss. 3/2 Schlafmöglichkeiten 6

This is our second stay at this amazing property. We love Islamorada, and this oceanside property in particular, and were so worried as we watched the hurricane footage this past Fall. The owner is fantastic, so when he said everything would be wonderful for our stay I knew it would be true, but I still wasn't sure exactly what to expect. When we arrived in December, I was so relieved that Islamorada is as beautiful as ever, as is the house and the grounds. The backyard beach and dock are so peaceful - all of the sealife and birds are back - and the sunrises from the master bedroom are to die for as usual. There is a new beach sand volleyball court which my nephews loved. Inside everything is as good as, or better than, how we left it last year. The master bathroom has been beautifully redone. All of our favorite restaurants and activities were open and in many cases newly renovated. We had the best time and were so sad to leave. We have already booked our upcoming third stay at The Russell Estate and we are counting the days. I can't recommend this property and this owner more highly.

The house has everything you could need. The kayaks were a great accessory to access the ocean. Definitely bring snorkle masks, there is a ton of marine life. We spent most of our time at the house because of all the ocean life right in the back yard. Alex was amazing in every aspect and was very quick to respond to messages. Thank you for making our vacation so memorable!

We loved The Russell Estate! The views are amazing, and the house is adorable. There is nothing that we needed but the owner is super quick to respond and check in, should anything come up! We will be back. Thank you, Alex!

Our fanily of 4 stayed here for a week. The property is conveniently located near shops, restaurants, grocery stores and activities like boating and watersports. We saw lots of marine life just of the dock, including dolphins and stingrays! We rented a boat for a day and went to three snorkling spots where we experienced some of the best snorkeling ever. The property is pretty and kept up well. The kayaks were used every day. The kitchen could use some updates and could be stocked better. The number of knives, cup and glasses was limited. Otherwise a very comfortable house to enjoy a relaxing week in the keys!

The view and the hanging area are absolutely awesome! And Alex is great to get in touch with when needed.

As for the house, since it's an older house, they were a few things that needed to be mended. The dining room door that lead to the back patio was not opening, my brother-in-law had to fix it. He also try to tightened the toilette sit in the guest bathroom, however it was still loose when we left. In the master bedroom the two sockets by the TV were not working and there was not enough cooling blowing in that room even-though the ventilation was working. We informed Alex about these inconvenience, hopefully they will be repaired for the next renters. I was also a bit disappointed initially that we couldn't swim on the property beach, due to the accumulation of seaweed and a bit of debris ( then again, this was on every beaches we went in the Keys, I guess it was just that time of year). Nevertheless, we had an absolute fantastic vacation! Right off the dock, we saw horseshoe crabs, rays, a small nurse shark (about 2.5 feet), so many different type of fish and birds; a paradise for a marine life lover!
