My favorite place
I love this place and will come again next year. This is a great stay with an excellent owner (Saul).
The home is clean and comfortable. It has an open layout with dual sliding glass doors giving a bright and airy feel during the day and a good view of the canal and outside dock area. The wide lot and long dock gives a spacious feel, Thus, its better than most modular Keys homes which tend to be dim inside during the day and outside often feel cramped being sandwiched in narrow lots.
Saul (the owner) keeps everything maintained and is extremely helpful and responsive. He stocks it with everything you could think of. Coffee drinkers will appreciate the expresso maker as well as the typical drip coffee maker.
The bedrooms and bathroom are adequate. The master bed is firm which I like. Note the washer/dryer are not inside.
The shaded tiki hut is nice to sit under and the long dock is nice to walk along the canal (as opposed to most canal homes with small water frontage). We saw manatees often in the canal along with various fish. The porch is not screened which for us was good since there are few bugs during the FL winter and no screen actually makes a place brighter with an overall better feel.
For those that like to paddle, peddleboat (Saul provides both), or motorboat; it’s a short, easy paddle to Sexton Cove which has a nice sunset view, dolphins, manatees, and many birds especially at sunset since they roost there. An advantage is the shoreline makes a big turn so it blocks the wind much of the time unlike many bays in the Keys which have a lot of wind and chop in the winter.
The house ramp is easier to use a kayak or peddleboat than trying to get in from a high dock or a ladder like other places have. The canal level does not change much due to tide so its easy to tie a boat.
There is ample parking for cars and a boat. Its completely fenced giving it a more secure feeling than most. Plus it has a driveway so you park right next to the entry door. The door lock is automated so you don’t have to worry about who has the keys. Moreover the immediate neighborhood feels very safe and is quiet since there are no through streets.
Overall, you will be happy to stay here assuming you like Key Largo.
