This unit was in a quiet neighborhood off of US-1 and really made us feel like we were at home with clean accommodations, large shower, king size bed and full size fridge.
The walk in closet provided plenty of storage. Chris provided beach chairs, beach blanket, bikes and a kayak.
It was so wonderful to sit in the Tiki Hut, to enjoy the shade and tropical breezes, after a full day of beautiful, clear, colorful water.
We woke up each morning to see our boat at the dock ready and waiting to head out for more adventures.
There is a large driveway for boat trailer storage and truck parking.
Fishing was great with fish cleaning station on dock for eating catch of the day. The dock also provided access to a water hose to wash down boat.
Snorkeling was wonderful with a number of good reefs for snorkeling near house.
Manatee and a variety of small fish could be seen from the dock.
Chris was very welcoming and informative of the areas amenities.
Definitely a return visit in our future!

We really had a good stay here. The apartment was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The layout is a little strange (the fridge is in the closet and the kitchen shares space with one of the showers) but we got use to it! The place was spotless, the bed comfy and the tiki hut just peace and beauty. My husband used the bikes to explore. We didn't do serious dinner cooking, but we could have if we wanted. There isn't a stove, but toaster oven,microwave, crock pot and hot plate covers it. All the kitchen equipment looked new. Restaurants were an easy drive. Chris was a great hostess... there when you had questions and otherwise never intruding. We liked Islamorada as a place to stay in the Keys...quieter than Marathon or Key West yet close to everything.

My wife and I spent nearly three weeks at Casa Rio. Overall we had an enjoyable stay. The owner does a very good job of responding to any issues (which were few) and the apartment was spotless when we arrived. The apartment was well furnished and comfortable, although we would have appreciated a stove top to go along with the other kitchen appliances. There is a gas grill outside.
Casa Rio’s location is very good, sited in a quiet, residential area, with water frontage (two docks). We found ourselves enjoying the Tiki hut quite often. Wildlife is abundant. There is a two-person kayak and two bicycles that allow some relaxed sightseeing from the water or looking at other residential enclaves.
Our primary draw was Islamorada itself. The salt water fishing is as good as its reputation - which is world class. There are some decent snorkeling sites, even better when you do via Jet Ski out of Robbie’s Marina nearby. There are a lot of restaurants within 10 miles, many of which will cook the fish you caught, including a nearby Cuban restaurant (Habanos) that we recommend. is located in Lower Matecumbe, which is mostly residential. You will need a car to get to places of interest. The landlady can help you with recommendations. An added bonus is that Key West is only a two hour drive, permitting a day trip. We also recommend a trip to the Sea Turtle Hospital and Crane Point, located on Marathon Key.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Rio! The suite was very nice, clean and had everything we needed. Chris was a very amicable hostess.
We did a lot of biking and walking and relaxing by the lagoon. Nice spot to just sit back and enjoy life!
