Iâve been coming down to the upper keys for years and this was by far the best property yet. Some have ocean, some have docks, some you can go out in the ocean from shore and some you canât. This one has amazing ocean views, swim from shore ocean and a dock to fish or dock your boat. Even caught a couple tarpon and cuda off the dock. House was clean and exactly as described. On my short list of go to properties for the future.
Would definitely stay here again. Absolutely peaceful and amazing and exactly what we needed! JP was extremely helpful, friendly and amazing as well. Great place
What a great house in a perfect location. The pool, private pier, beach and outdoor entertainment area are enough to stay busy all day. Great kitchen with sweeping views.
We enjoyed our time at this property and the Keys. The home was clean, well stocked, and had beautiful views. The smell from the sargassum algae was significant during our stay. We were aware of it from reading the reviews. We were not able to get in the ocean because of it which was disappointing. However, we knew this is was possibility due to the time of year that were would be visiting. The property manger was kind and quickly got back to us when we had a question. There are two separate sleeping spaces upstairs and downstairs. If you have someone who struggles with mobility that could be an issue since the kitchen and living space are upstairs. We enjoyed the space split plan. Everyone was able to have their own corner. The outdoor space was our favorite part. There was always a shady place to sit and enjoy the breeze. The pool was clean and a great place to cool off. Overall, we had a great stay.
We had the best week at Shanie's lovely house! Location is even prettier in person!! The pool was always warm and clean, thanks to JP. We would definitely visit again.
We were fortunate to get just one day of rain, and otherwise had wonderful weather, which was great because the outdoor space at this property is wonderful. There is a large area to play soccer or throw a ball, as well as beach, long and low dock, and kayaks to use. The outside space is truly what makes this house special. The location is very good and easy to get to -- you're just a handful of miles from some of the more touristy things in Islamorada, making this a quiet spot that still has good access to some of the more touristy attractions.
My husband, 3 boys (14,12 and 10) and myself stayed here for a week in November. The home and property are beautiful! Even though there are neighbors it feels so private. The kids loved swimming in the pool and looking for stingrays and fish in the ocean. They also had fun fishing off the pier/ dock. The hardest part was picking which restaurant to try every day. Definitely hope to be back, and soon!!!!
We had a fantastic vacation! It was like our own little resort! The house and pool were perfect. The view and the dock were amazing. We saw turtles, manatee, lobster, fish, birds and stingray! The host was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. We couldnât have asked for a better place to stay!
The pictures while accurate, canât do justice for the beauty of this property! Views, breezes, and all the accommodations you need for an incredible getaway. We had a wonderful week - pool was perfect and the area was a great location to get to all we needed for a memorable week with fun activities and delicious meals. Highly recommend!
It was gorgeous. The view was beautiful, house was great. JP the caretaker of house was the best guy. Made us feel so comfortable. Dock for fishing was amazing. Caught all type of fish and sharks. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us. It truly was paradise.
The house was great! The pool was great! The privacy was great! The pier was AWESOME!
I appreciated how clean the house was. The kitchen was well appointed. PJ was very attentive! We were conveniently close to restuarants and shopping. I would go back there again!
This property was breathtaking! Itâs so peaceful and quiet. The property manager was extremely friendly and accommodating. He brought us coffee, bread, alcohol and even provided us with a high chair for our baby. The heated pool is very nice and relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!
Being able to walk out onto that pier every morning to watch the sunrise, and every evening to look up at the full moon, was worth every penny.
My husband and I stayed at the Pier House during Christmas week with our three teenage children, one ten-year-old, and my sister and brother-in-law. We loved the pool! It was always warm, and it was professionally cleaned twice while we were there. Having our own little private beach was absolute Heaven.
The neighbors were extremely friendly, as was the property manager, J.P.
Come and wade in the water, swim, soak in the beauty!
This was our second year at this property and it was still the perfect place for our family vacation. We really liked the new bathrooms and the central a/c in the upstairs back bedroom was very comfortable. JP responds in minutes and everything worked smoothly. We caught fish off the dock almost every day (and released) and every morning watched the sunrise watched the peacocks and ibis check out the beach for breakfast. I love the peace and quiet.
We had an awesome time for the second year in a row. The location is super private and the renovations made everything even more beautiful. The pool was pristine, we used it everyday but the rainy day, thanks to the pool man! JP was a pleasure to meet and super helpful with my minor questions. The work being done to the beach area is going to completely change the condition of the beach, I canât wait to see the changes! Lots of wild life and beautiful sunrises for this amateur photographer. We canât wait to spend another vacation here! Thanks Shanie for allowing us to stay at your awesome house.
Our family REALLY enjoyed our stay. The pics showed here is 100% the same as what you get. The Ocean Beach area was a bit dirty but the property area is nice, clean, the pool was very refreshing. The neighbors did not bother us a bit. The owners are very occomodating and made sure our money was 100% guaranteed should the oil spill went down to the Keys. We are from WPB Fla and still found this house to be a Tropical Paradise! We will be sure to come again! Thank you for a very relaxing and enjoyable family vacation!

Our family had a lovely stay at the property for a week in March. The rooms were spacious and the outside was breathtaking. We swam in the heated pool a lot since the winds were 20 mph+ most of the time and I was nervous about young kids being in the ocean. I think the week we stayed was an anomaly for winds. It was quiet and peaceful - just what we needed for a week away from work! The times we were able to get in the ocean were great. We saw a lot of hermit crabs, a sting ray, and my husband caught a barracuda fly fishing. We also saw a manatee and barracuda off the pier while fishing. The water is definitely walkable all the way out to the end of the pier - at least when we were there. John and Shanie were both great! The neighbors directly behind the property (itâs a shared driveway) are lovely and the neighbors next door, too. Their dogs (Captain and Sabiki) would join us in the ocean to play! The peacocks even graced us with their presence one sunrise on the beach!
Peaceful, relaxing and just what we were looking for!
Beautiful property! Completely private. House was perfect and very clean. The pool was spectacular. Pool man came at least 3 times to keep the pool pristine. We were in the pool every day ( great shade on the pool in the afternoon). The pier was beautiful and awesome to sit to watch the ocean and boats (The only thing that would have made the pier better would be to have it lit at night.). Added bonus was the wild life, especially the peacock and peahen. Close to a lot of restaurants but the grill was so nice we cooked most days. Fun toys to play with both in and out of the water. We would definitely stay here again. JP was super nice and helpful with my questions. I highly recommend this property and the management. Super easy to work with. Thank you for making our stay in our happy place (The Keys) memorable and perfect.
