We wanted a place we could bring our boat and check out the surrounding area – topside and diving. This rental was perfect! The owner was responsive, friendly, and helpful.

Make sure you look at a map before you book. It’s about four miles off US 1, and that’s exactly what we were looking for – a quiet, peaceful getaway. Each day we went for a walk or bike ride and saw key deer and few cars. It was great having our boat 20 feet from the house, and lots of areas to check out bayside and Oceanside. We spent most of our time on Looe Key, but also enjoyed a day at Picnic Island, and just floating in the bay just outside the canal. The grocery store is about 25 minutes, and Key West and Marathon are each about 45 minutes. That was perfect since we were more interested in being on the water.

We rarely eat out, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We’ve rented many times on VRBO and have usually had good experiences. Along with location, there are a few things that are important - clean home (that includes corners and nooks and crannies), comfortable beds and pillows, and sheets and towels that don’t look like 20 year old leftovers. It’s those little touches that don’t cost much that add to the overall experience. This rental gets A+ all the way around – it’s not over the top luxury – but that’s not what we were looking for, we slept great and enjoyed the serenity.

As an added bonus, the neighbors are all very friendly and helpful. You can tell this is a close-knit community. We would definitely recommend enjoying a boater’s paradise!
