Divina was great! The house was very clean and inviting. New appliances. Pool was relaxing and clean. Divina provided a lot of extras - chairs, fins for snorkeling, plenty of grills, a tiki bar, a dock for your boat, lots of extras. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this location.
Thank you. It was a pleasure hosting you. And housekeeping appreciated the way you left my place clean and in good order. Glad you liked the amenities!
The location and amenities were great. The dock and backyard was exactly what we were hoping for in a vacation rental. The huge perk as a boater was the commercial ice machine available in the tiki bar. I will likely inquire in staying again in the future.
A wonderful place to stay! Very updated amenities, gracious host, and great location! Very comfortable and we had a great stay! Able to cook when we wanted and especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub!
We canât say enough good things about our stay! The house was SO clean, modern, cozy, and had everything you need. Having a pool, hot tub, and dock was just incredible! Not to mention the blackstone and grill! The location of the property is perfect! We had so much fun at this property, we canât wait to come back! The host is awesome, and always responded immediately if I had a question! You canât go wrong if you book this property!
Great! Thank you Carly. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Glad you enjoyed the amenities,: pool, tiki, hot tub, outdoor kitchen and underwater dock lighting for night fishing!
Divina the host showed up to the property multiple times during our stay so we feel like we lacked privacy. She showed up once while we were in the pool and I think to introduce herself? But with no announcement first either just came right in. But could tell she was uncomfortable with something. Which is odd since we are just a laid back couple trying to have uninterrupted quiet times. Then when we would leave and come back outside things would be tidied up. Chairs moved back. We left for a walk one morning gone 35 minutes and she had been there took trash cans in. She also showed up 45 minutes before check out and started tidying things outside. Which I confronted her about. Felt like she was watching the cameras while we were thereAnd would come when we were gone. I own 5 rental properties myself so this behavior is just bizarre to me and not acceptable. I would never stay here again. Total lack of privacy and uninterrupted use. The place itself is awsome though.
Wife is gracious and pleasant. Can't say the same for C, the husband. His claims here are untrue and majority of my previous renters' experience as shared here on VRBO can attest to my Respect for guests' privacy! I do Not go inside when there are renters.
Only went to property myself ONCE to check on underwater dock light and was around the tiki bar area.
Introduced myself and even had a nice visit and chat with wife at the same time C. was preparing his fishing gear outside by tiki bar.
Did not go back to property myself after this One and Only time. I do have pool cleaners and landscapers, and their schedule is clearly printed on the House Rules and Notes provided to guests at check in.
My crew go there to clean the pool and tidy up the pool and tiki bar areas. My landscapers also do their job, and take out garbage on scheduled collection dates. Again, clearly printed on House Notes which I would expect responsible renters should read. My place is well maintained with the help of my crew.
I showed up 25 minutes before their expected check out time to supervise the cleaning of the other half duplex which was a check in that afternoon. We Quietly set-up next door.
Yes, C. confronted me and said he has 5 rentals and blah blah, this is not cool etc. Well, him and his wife were able to check in early on their arrival day, at least 2 hours before official check in time because I manage my housekeepers' time efficiently. That did not matter anymore!
I get it, you have 5 rentals as you have repeatedly bragged to me. How about you run your 5 rentals your way and I will do mine my way. Thank you. All the best!
This place was perfect for us. The pool was amazingly warm and was used by us every day as a night cap. The host was great and communication was awesome.
This place was absolutely amazing. Itâs got a bunch of great restaurants around it and the pool and in the back are amazing after a long day on the boat. The docking is really easy and itâs only a short ride out to the Atlantic side. There is also a marina in the same bay the house is in so getting gas or bait in the morning is really easy. Itâs honestly the perfect little spot for just about anything you want to do.
This property is well stocked with everything you need to enjoy a stay in The Keys! The outside space is amazing and the house was just what we needed -- comfy bed and great appliances. Our friends rented the other side of the duplex and we had a great week around the tiki bar and in the pool. We would definitely stay here again!
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. Glad you enjoyed your stay with your friends on the other side. It was a pleasure hosting your group. Come back anytime!
Stayed here for 2 weeks with friends renting the other side. planned on doing more excursions but staying here with the pool, hot tub, and tiki bar, and being on the water we were content just to enjoy all the amenities! The hosts were very helpful if we had any questions. Would gladly book again.
Thank you Mark & Pam. It was a pleasure renting to you and your friends. Glad to know you enjoyed the amenities and used the pool, tiki and hot tub. Appreciate you taking care of my place and leaving it clean.
The property is wonderfulâŠclean, excellent amenities!!! Everyting you need when awy from home. Property owners are very attentive and helpful!!! Love the place!!!
Great little property! Extremely clean, fishing dock was fantastic! Work with your neighbors for use of pool etc., and things work out fine. Walking distance to good food and fishing charters. Divina is a great host!
Great! Thanks Tim for this review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and are happy with the amenities: pool, tiki, hot tub and dock fishing.
Appreciate your time sharing your experience. Happy new year đ
Outstanding Location
Well Equipped
Moderate Accommodations
Pool Side Needs work
All cooking tools filthy, including Weber and Blackstone
Constant drone of poolside filter 24/7
Thank you for this feedback. I always tell my guests that weather is a big factor with the outdoor amenities such as the Weber grill & Blackstone griddle and cooking tools outside. The week that you were here, constant strong blowing wind and non-stop rain for many days straight made it impossible to keep up with the clean-up of the outdoor cooking area.
I pretty much addressed everything you mentioned when I was there.....
As for the pool noise, the efficient operation of the pool equipment and pool heater is of course necessary. This is what guests most enjoy on a cold day, pool is at 83 degrees!
Anyways, all the best and hope you have a good spring!

I am a local since 1993. Was in corporate world (journalism, banking & resort management) for 30+ years. Tried semi-retirement but could not stay still. Searched for perfect fit to keep me interested. Found this gem of property where I can channel all my energy into having a place to spruce up, beautify and enjoy and share with guests! đđŹđâ± With my (very handy & landscape expert!) significant other, turned this place into our own little piece of tropical oasis in Key Colony Beach, Florida Keys! Mornings are spent watching the sunrise, with my fave cup of brew. Evenings are for walking the causeway while taking pictures of amazing sunsets! It doesn't get any better than this. Then fresh seafood dinner & cocktails at the tiki bar, cooked on Blackstone griddle or Weber grill. Life is good, literally. Would not trade it for cut-throat city life. Shopping malls don't interest me anymore. Happy with what we have in these small chain of islands. Peaceful, scenic, relaxed - my favorite spot to chill: Casa Marcela!
Tropical paradise found! Read the reviews to get the real deal from guests who have stayed here. Unobstructed waterfront views, Pool, hot tub, bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, dock your boat out back, or fish off of the dock even at night with underwater lighting.
Open water views, pool overlooking the water views, hot tub, tiki bar, underwater lighting for night fishing outback. Outdoor amenities like no other. We thought of everything to make our guests not want to leave! Dock a boat right out back, refreshing and relaxing atmosphere with my lush landscaping & garden.
