The house faces west for spectacular sunsets. You are surrounded by pristine boating and swimming water the best gulf and bay fishing on the west coast of Florida. You will have use of 2 stand up paddle boards, 2 double person kayaks, 2 children's kayaks and a canoe. We also have a variety of fishing poles but for serious fisherman you should bring your own salt water fly or cast rods. Surrounded by Wildlife. During a typical stay you will see dolphins playing off the beach, manatees often, tarpon, sea turtles and a large array of gulf coast fish. For bird lovers you will see and hear osprey, great horned owls, pileated woodpeckers, great blue herons, egrets, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, screech owls, white and brown pelicans, frigates, cormorants, anhingas and many other sea birds. There are no poisonous snakes or other dangerous wildlife on island....

Fishing. Fly and cast fishing is epic as the waters surrounding the island are nick-names by the locals as "The Kitchen" - and are teeming with gulf-coast fish.

Beach-combing is also wonderful on property and on the large sandbar to our north. Exploring our private island is fun for all. The kids will enjoy the 200' Zip line.

There is High speed internet with Apple TV, Smart TV and Sonos with access to Netflix, Amazon and other movie options. Residential Rental Cert. RRR-00843.2023

The house is full of charm; very clean and wonderfully equipped. Our kids had the best time fishing and playing in the water.

This island home is just perfect. We called it "home" as soon as we woke up to look out over a beautifully manicured beach front "yard" and a back "yard" that is nothing less than an amazing coconut jungle. The sunsets are stunning. The beds are comfy and all rooms well-appointed. The kitchen is well-stocked, and we made some wonderful dinners as if we were at home. We caught all kinds of fish, swam and walked to the sandbars, slept in hammocks, watched dolphins dance around the island, drove our boat minutes to fun restaurants, and fell in love (again) with Jewfish Key. (This was our second time on the island, and it is a jewel.) Not only was the property beautiful and beyond what is shown on the listing, but the owner, Steve, was incredibly warm, inviting, and accommodating. He answered texts immediately. When my flight was cancelled and then horribly delayed, he went out of his way to make the experience as convenient as possible (above and beyond). This property is perfect for everyone--families with teens and/or young kids, and romantic getaways. We are returning next year.

This house and setting are absolutely amazing. Words not even the pictures do this property justice. My family thoroughly enjoyed the Island setting and the laid-back pace. The house was wonderfully kept and had all the things needed for the week. The property as a whole including the landscape and provided water activity equipment was well keep and provided hours of fun for my family. Will be staying again! The host was spectacular including greeting us and preparing my family for the stay! Thank you again and hope see you next year. The Stevenson
