My friends and I had a wonderful time at this property and it was a perfect location for our fishing trip to the keys.

It worked out great for us. The owner was super nice and welcoming. The house has a bit of wear and tear, but it was clean and ready for us. The cameras were of no concern to us...but anyone thinking of adding extra people or pets on the down-low should skip this house.

I’m sure the owner will respond to my review, saying how my friends and I were horrible… Read the reviews prior to mine, and all the same things everyone says that I ignored, well don’t. The house is old. Like all the reviews say, it needs updating, and they’re not lying. Things are put together as cheaply as possible, which is my number one complaint. The owner said that after we left, one of the toilet seats had 1 of the 2 plastic knobs that attach it to the toilet, broke. He said that was $500 to fix and I’m currently disputing the charge through VRBO. The notes of the owner being on property, are true. He comes onto the property, hangs out there, gave my friends and I some WEIRD unsolicited advice how we needed to start having babies to repopulate the Earth. I guess it’s my fault, I should have read the warnings that say he’s there, I just assumed it wouldn’t be that invasive or weird. Jokes on us, it is weird. We got there and the AC in one of the rooms wasn’t working. Someone did come fix it, but this is a testament to the old ness of the house. The pool wasn’t turned on. The property has this gate that lets you in and out that sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, but don’t touch the gate (that’s in his 15 pages of rules he sends over). He also asks you drag the garbage to the end of the 1/4 mile driveway… which to be honest, I found insane, because the people who checked out before didn’t take out their garbage, so I had to.

Me and family came down the KeyWest for a weekend trip and this house was in a very good location and offering a wide pool deck with an are where everyone can relax. The covered patio for all meals were a great for the whole family to eat together. The house was Joey nice and clean and the owner is there to help with anything.

What a value! Location was great to get to all the sights and activities of the lower keys. Neighborhood was fine. A little dated and worn, but clean and effort to make it cute was evident. The owner lives there in a trailer on the side of the property, but we scarcely saw him, other than him responding to a request and to graciously offer fruit he grew himself in the yard. I definately would stay there again.

Check in was easy! Upon checking in there was bags of chips in the night stand, the AC did not work in the master, and we let the property owner know and it never got fixed the entire stay(3nights). Also we wanted to grill out and were told there was plenty of propane when we got there, there was 2 empty bottles so I called the property manager and he said there is some in his shed.(as a renter you shouldn’t have to dig through people’s property to find stuff) so I took it upon my self to exchange the propane and I paid for it! The property manager said he would give me cash but never did. There was minimal stuff in the house had to ask the property manager for trash bags, paper towels because there was not any in the house.

The house was beautiful and clean. Plenty of room for the entire group. Having a pool made it much more enjoyable. The property manager was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

The outside space was comfortable and where we spent most of our time. The host was responsive and provided items when requested. The pool has good shade for relaxing in the afternoon. The kitchen had everything we needed for family meals. The inside is dated and the beds are not very comfortable. There are a lot of cameras, but we did not feel that they impacted our privacy. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

30 min drive to Key West, great location. House has lots of space for our family. The kids enjoyed the pool and the outdoor patio overlooking the water was beautiful. We had fantastic sunny weather our whole stay- was a great time. Host who lives on property visited and was friendly.

We had a crew of guys for a quick two day trip.. Place was very comfortable. Beautiful peaceful view and very quiet neighborhood. We will be back

Enjoyed ourselves at the Keys. Sadly, it was a short weekend and the weather, while beautiful, was very cold, so we didn’t get to do much by the pool. We never contacted the property manager and requested to turn on the pool heater (as instructed clearly in the documents) so the pool was cold. Yes, there is a contract to sign. Some people complain about it. I felt the contents of it were quite logical for anyone who has spent time around a pool (No glass on the deck - typical rule anywhere), don’t trample the plants, etc. The sunrises were beautiful. The area was quiet and peaceful. Would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay very much!

There were supposed to be 5 adults and 2 children in our group and the house would have accommodated us just fine. Two adults and the 2 children were not able to come due to covid so the remaining 3 of us had plenty of room. If this were my property, I would make a few improvements such as painting the walls and making sure all the light bulbs are functional. Additionally I would ensure that all supplies are stocked up in between guests. We had to purchase some things that I feel should have been available to us such as spare rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, spare trash can liners and detergent for the dishwasher. The pool was not really usable which was disappointing. A binder with operating instructions for everything and check out procedures would be a huge help to future guests. On the plus side the kitchen is fairly well equipped and there are a lot of books and games available. The back deck has a beautiful view and comfortable furniture.

The check in process is horrible we drove from Massachusetts and had 7 other people meeting us to stay in the house. We called 15 or 20 times leaving voicemails not knowing if we were going to be let in the house when we showed up. We never received a phone call we got an email 20 mins before arriving with the gate code. I requested the final rental agreement a month before final payment was due and never received it until after we made our final payment and after the cancellation period. We were getting married and had no choice but to just trust it. The house is pretty run down. The stairs outside are very worn down. My wife slipped down them the day before our wedding and bruised her tail bone. The beds are awful. The drain in the master bathroom is a rubber drain cover from wal-mart that moves all over the place and it covers a four inch drain in the shower. I stepped on it and rolled my ankle. very dangerous! The pool when we got there wasn’t even full and wasn’t running also was not heated. We checked in on Wednesday and the pool never ran until Saturday we came back from a day trip to find the pool full and running but not heated. The next day the water level was down again and the pool not running. If your looking for privacy on your vacation then this house is not for you.The cameras on the house are like being in a prison. It made the girls really uncomfortable being by the pool with 15 or so cameras on the back of the house. The owner stays on the property. One of the girls was out front one night making a phone call and felt very uncomfortable after seeing the owner snooping around in the dark as if trying to catch someone doing something wrong. The no smoking signs everywhere is ridiculous. We smoke cigars and we went for walks up the street to smoke our cigars as to respect the owners rules. Sunday morning we woke up to find a Fresh cigarette on the back porch when none of us smoke cigarettes only cigars. When I brought this up to the owner he just said oh that’s weird no ones supposed to be here. He did nothing about it. We all came to the conclusion that either someone was snooping around our stuff and dropped a cigarette or the owner planted the cigarette trying to catch us doing something wrong. He looked very surprised when I brought it up to him saying none of us smoke cigarettes. Please if your thinking about renting this house take the negative reviews serious. If you like privacy on your vacation do not rent this place.

Nice, quiet neighborhood. The manager super friendly. House itself needs updating, but overall cozy. The only missing part would be access to the water

Property is beautiful, and only 30 minutes from Key West. Owner is pleasant and attentive.

Do not recommend this place. The pictures are false advertisement. House has spider webs in home. Had ants on counter when we first arrived. AC didn’t work well so they had window units in windows. 2nd day we found rat poop in home & end up finding a rat running through house. Found holes in walls behind decorations. After explaining all this to host. They canceled our reservation & tried kicking us out at 9 at night. We left the next day. Be aware the host is the homeowner & lives on property in a camper. He will watch you the whole time your on the property or in the house. Has cameras all over. Cameras are fine but cameras pointing in certain spots are not okay. He’ll randomly show up water plants under home to spy on you. House has microbial growth in it. I could keep going on but I’ll stop & just say do not waste your time or money with this place. You’ll be disappointed.

The property was great. The house was great.

Our family had a great trip to Cudjoe Key and enjoyed our stay on this beautiful property. The grounds are well kept, pool clean and house tidy. The owner was extremely kind, and we enjoyed his tour of the garden. He even cracked some coconuts for us! However, it was a little odd to have him staying on property within sight distance all week. The house needs some repair work and updating in places, but I also know that the owner was working to get that done (I just wish there weren't people working while we there). Also, be aware to fully disclose each guest that is staying on VRBO. We booked well in advance, and I forgot to update our total which resulted in increased charges. Finally, I think the extra contracts and waivers are a bit redundant with the contract through VRBO, but I do understand any owner wanting to protect their property especially in this environment when some renters do not treat a property as their own. All in, we enjoyed the week and getting to know the owner, and I hope others will enjoy their stay here.

This rental property was an amazing location and an overall great place to stay. The host made us feel very welcome and was available whenever we needed him.

First and foremost, the property was beautiful. We felt secluded and safe. Al was such an amazing host. He provided everything we wanted or needed. Great stay and even greater host. I highly recommend.

We visited with my family of 7 adults. The house was perfect for the group. The 4th bedroom with bunk beds was a little difficult but we made it work. The area and the size of house were great, however the house definitely needs some TLC. Little maintenance things are overlooked and are now bigger concerns. Master bedroom upstairs had poor to no air conditioning. Ceiling fan saved us. Several light bulbs are not working leaving dark areas at night. The pool area is good, however the tent for shade has standing water on top and is literally rotting away. Chairs by pool are really not good with broken legs and severely chipping paint jobs. There were 2 new chairs put in pool area on 4th day. That being said it was exactly what we needed for our family and we are not particularly “picky” so the little off things didn’t bother us. The outdoor patio area was amazing for shade and family meals. My kids are in their late 20’s though and they thought for the money we paid the little things could be better.

The home is full of beautiful antiques. The property is quietly away from town. The owner stays on the property making him very accessible and helpful.

Beautiful property, had a great time

30 minutes from Key West, great outdoor space and the property owner responded in a timely manner. He even brought us fresh papaya. The first floor toilet did not work properly, but was getting fixed even as we left. We were there during the tropical storm and one of the bedrooms leaked , but that was our last night there. I’m sure the owner will correct the issue now that he is aware of it. The master bedroom had a magnificent view, but the master bathroom shower had black mold and a couple of tiles falling off. That was disappointing.

The property was not what we expected house needs a lot of work.

This was a great property..a hidden gem about 30 minutes from Key West. Beautiful grounds and view. Newer towels, kitchen appliances, coffee pot, keurig and a ninja for all your family’s needs. Lots of beautiful fruit trees and critters to see if this gated home. The home needs some pot holders and one of the beds lags in the middle but overall a wonderful property. The contract seems sketchy at first, but once you see the property and become familiar with locals, you’ll understand why Al is covering all the basis here. Thank you again for this fantastic vacation experience.

We had a great time. Amazing property with all the amenities we needed. Other than the grill not working, it was perfect.
