We had our own little slice of paradise. Perfect for a whole family vacation with plenty of bedrooms with their own private bathrooms. Immaculate accommodations with walking distance to Robbie’s. Great location with everything we wanted in close driving distance. I Highly recommend this location for families to make lifelong memories. Chausey was always available to answer any questions and was very helpful with recommendations.

Our party of 4 adults, 1 senior & 4 children, 8-11 yrs old, enjoyed our stay at this immaculately clean, comfortable home.
The kids really enjoyed watching the iguanas & swimming in the heated pool. Unfortunately, due to the unusually large amount of seaweed, we were unable to swim in the water off the dock.
We made 2 trips to the "Theater of the Sea" where the kids were able to swim with the dolphins & feed the stingrays. There was also a dolphin & parrot show that they enjoyed.
We definitely would recommend this rental!

Our week included family members ranging from 10-94 years!! There truly was something for EVERYONE!! The location on the far south end of Islamorada is perfect for our family. It’s close enough to fav places we enjoy in Islamorada, but it’s also far enough south it’s not it the busy section of the isle. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all private and beautiful! The open kitchen/dining and living area are perfect for a large family. We DO plan to return!! Chaucey was wonderful to work with!!

This house is wonderful. It had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. We are four senior couples that travel and do life together. Each had their own bedroom with king size bed and private bath. The kitchen has everything you need. Cleanest house we've ever stayed in. Chausey, owner/host, was great to work with. She ordered up beautiful weather for us. We took in every amenity. Fished from the dock, swam in the pool, went out on the kayaks and paddle boards, relaxed by the pool, by the fire pit, on the dock, and especially on the balcony with that ocean view. House has a giant island in the kitchen and a table to seat all 8 of us. Enjoyed watching the iguanas stroll along. Already making plans for a return visit.

This is a dream property. The house is magnificent. Spotless throughout. Views of sunrise are spectacular. Enjoyed watching the pelicans all day. The owner is terrific. Very responsive to a few minor problems and is committed to his guests having a great vacation. Would not stay anywhere else in Islamorada.

What a wonderful week we had at Sway South. We were a group of 5 couples, and the house was perfect for us with 4 Kings & 1 Queen + 5 Full Baths. The house is conveniently located near Robbie's and is tucked back on the Gulf side. The bedroom layout and communal area were perfect. We loved the Deck and Pool and the beautiful Sunrise and Sunsets. The pier is also a great spot to hang out and grab some sun. We had bonfires for two nights and that was also a blast. The house is just as presented on the website and accommodated all our needs. Chausey is a wonderful manager and is very responsive to any questions. The whole check-in and check-out process was extremely easy. If you are a bird watcher this place is for you. We all did not want to leave and look forward to our return trip to Islamorada and will definitely stay at Sway South.

This was a magical trip for our family and the accommodations absolutely made that possible. We fell into a beautiful rhythm while staying here, Breakfast with Bloody Marys then a couple hours in the pool, getting cleaned up for a sunset drink on the dock, dinner and then an after dinner cocktail around the fire. We laughed a little too loud but we didn’t bother anyone because there was plenty of open space around the house with a nature preserve on one side and the neighboring house further down the beach. The owner was kind and very responsive, we asked for fishing poles and we had them the same day. We did catch fish and ate them, they were delicious. My brother even caught a bonnet head shark. We let that one go. The location was convenient to everything we wanted to do. There’s a great spot to get some food nearly across the street and a five minute drive to the grocery store. It is so beautiful and peaceful it just takes your breath away. Book your trip you won’t regret it.

Our family had the best time in this most beautiful house in the unique villagey community of Islamorada. So wonderful to wake up at dawn and see the candyfloss sunrise over the ocean, and then sit on the jetty with a gin and tonic in your hand watching the pelicans, iguanas and a wealth of other animals do their thing. The owners of this beautiful property could not have been more helpful, and it could not have been a more perfect setting for a long-overdue multi-continent, multi-generational family get together. From the perfectly heated pool, great kitchen, multiple lounging areas, comfy bedrooms and sparkly bathrooms it was great in every way! We can't wait to go back.

Everything was exactly as described and even exceeded our expectations. The house was perfectly clean, and the spaces inside and outside were beautiful. Lots of wildlife can be watched from the pool, docks, or balcony. Took out the kayaks almost every morning through the mangroves and over to Indian key which was a blast! Great for families staying together but also having their own space. Would stay here again!

Wonderful vacation home!
We stayed with our married kids, one grandchild, and son in law’s parents. The house was sparkly clean and beautifully decorated. We really liked the location on the south end of Islamorada, close to restaurants but also close to Marathon Key (try Sombrero Beach!) We also went snorkeling, took a day trip to Key West, went fishing and kayaked to the state park. Bring flip flops or beach shoes if you want to kayak-the seaweed does settle on this side of the island in the summer so you’ll need to walk through it. The pool is a little small but is wonderful! We enjoyed grilling out and ate at Cheeca, Marker 88 (our fave) and Lorelei. Islamoradaboattoursllc.com gave us a wonderful snorkel trip (they take up to 6 people at a time and go wherever you’d prefer.) Cheeca is also nice for a spa day! We will be back for sure!!

First time visiting the Keys and couldn’t have asked for a better stay! The house was amazing and had plenty of space for our family (6 adults and 1 toddler). Beautiful location on the ocean. We loved being able to kayak to Indian Key State Park - fascinating little island with lots of history that is definitely worth checking out. We also loved sitting on the dock in the evenings. The pool was clean and there were lots of floats/toys available to use. Inside the house is well equipped - 2 washers and dryers was a huge bonus. We loved the house and Islamorada and will definitely be back!

This was a great spring break rental for our family. It was clean; the pool, dock and views were awesome; and the layout worked out really well for our family. Would definitely (happily) return!
We had to purchase some things we’d normally hope would be included in a rental of this calibre (laundry soap, paper towel, gas tank for grill). It was also surprising there were no plastic/melamine dishes and cups - only glass.
Overall, wonderful though!

House is beautiful with comfortable beds. The outside area makes the house. The pool over looks the ocean and the spot has a little sand beach that the kids used to play paddle ball. Chausey is an awesome host. This is our second stay and emails and texts are answered quickly. We can’t wait to return!

This property was just as advertised. Perfect getaway for 10 of us ages 8-adult. Pool a little smaller than I expected, but fine for our group. Shoreline rocky, so we brought wet shoes as others had recommended.

Can’t say enough about this amazing property. We loved everything about it! For two families with teenagers it was absolutely perfect. The location, the layout, both inside and out, and the access to fun activities were all huge benefits. We enjoyed paddle boarding and kayaking in the shallow waters, relaxing beachside or by the pool, lots of swimming, fire pits at night and a spacious common area kitchen for making and enjoying our meals. (Not to mention a spacious outdoor area for grilling with multiple tables and seating). Walking to Robbie’s for food, drinks and fun was also a plus! Lots of other great places to eat and drink within a short drive too. Sitting out on the dock to watch both sunrise and sunset was a fan favorite and we really loved seeing all the wildlife, especially the iguanas who would saunter by and then hang out a safe distance away. Definitely recommending this to lots of friends and anyone else who wants to escape to paradise for a battery recharge!

Exceptional
Delightful. Well designed, compact five bedroom- five bath house exceptionally well maintained. Complete privacy with regular visits from white ibis grazing the shore’s shallow waters and the lawn with an occasional am dip and groom in the pool; double breasted cormorants and brown pelicans flying along the shore and perching on the dock; occasional visits by little blue and great blue herons; ever present green and black spined (with orange highlights when feeling aggressive) iguanas; all overseen by a pair of osprey nesting on the property. Easy access to venture into the notorious traffic of Rt 1 to visit the interesting state parks or to dine in one of the many fine restaurants nearby.
