The property is central location in Islamorada, best location....The outdoor area is perfect,pool heated very enjoyable.. great neighborhood..Friendly Host JoAnn is amazing, and prompt response, a delightful person, and a wonderful host!
We had such a great week here! The house was spotless when we arrived and had plenty of parking for our whole group. The location couldnât be better â just minutes from great restaurants, marinas, reefs, and of course, the famous Islamorada sandbar. We loved having the seawall deck that fit both of our boats, and the pool was the perfect way to relax after long days out on the water.Inside, the kitchen was large and well-equipped, making it easy for us to cook up delicious meals, gather together, and play games in the evenings. Everything was comfortable and well set up for groups, and we truly enjoyed our time here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and convenient spot in the Keys!
Check in was simple and straightforward. Lovely neighborhood, terrific location. The furniture is quite dated throughout. For older family members, the rattan in the living room was uncomfortable and low to the floor. The downstairs room had a musty odor and an open box of Damp-Rid on the bookcase. The bedroom dressers downstairs also had a musty odor when you opened the drawers so we didnât unpack. We enjoyed our stay for the most part but the house could use some care and attention.
We had a great vacation, the house was perfect. It was located close to everything we needed. Owners of the property were great to work with. Looking forward to our next trip back. Would definitely rent this property again
What an amazing place to stay. We rented a boat, and enjoyed the proximity to both the ocean and the Florida bay. Close to snorkeling, fishing, everything. We also rented paddleboards. The wonderful heated pool was enjoyed by the kiddos in the evenings.
3rd time staying at this property and always a pleasure. We had some issues with the pool and owner addressed immediately. Needs some updates but all in all vacation was perfect!
The house was very nice and comfortable. Easy to use and great accessories from pots and pans to the deck, pool and cabana! Awesome place for awesome fishing trip! Thank you!
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Venetian Tropics. You just canât beat the location. The house is was very roomy and accommodating. We loved going to the both sides the ocean and the bay waters but after all enjoyed chilling in the pool. The house is located in the very beautiful neighborhood. Will come and stay again!
We liked having separate living areas for two couples and common areas for cooking and eating. The neighborhood was very quiet and relaxing. We loved the private pool and enjoyed seeing the huge fish, manatees and many varieties of birds in the canal. This property was also very close to excellent restaurants and ice cream shops! We would highly recommend this property!
Very hesitant about posting a review because I want o keep it our little gem LOL. House and location was perfect. Rented a boat for 10 days and convenience of having it at the house was ideal. Heated pool was a plus. Easy and friendly communication with JoAn couldn't have gone smoother. Will definitely be returning next year!
We just returned from our stay at Venetian Tropics. It was a great place to vacation with our family. The house is just as advertised and shown. The location could not be better, especially if you bring your boat. The ac works great and the pool is lovely. There is an outdoor mini fridge in the outside bar area which was great for chilling your favorite beverages. The owner was very responsive to our questions as we settled in. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks JoAn for opening up your home to us. We made great memories. Terry Brown
JoAn was a pleasure to deal with, great communication. The house is in a great location. Itâs a classic keys home with the charm of what the Keys has always been. We will be returning to this rental, as it was perfect for us. It is good to note that if you are driving to the Keys and are able to, it would be safe to bring your own cooking utensils and pans, as the ones provided are very aged and toxic to use at this pointâŠbut we see that as an easy fix since Publix is now a short distance away.
We spent our Christmas in beautiful Islamorada and had a great time at Venetian Tropics! The house was the perfect size for us and the location on the canal was great for boating and fishing and just a short ride to open water (too bad the fishing wasn't so great, but you can't order that!).
The house was clean; appliances and plumbing worked fine; and he pool was heated (which was nice since we had chilly December wind!).
The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that we had our boat and it was a challenge parking the trailer since there was boat taking up available parking space. Also, the kitchen cookware and utensils were very limited and needed updating.
Thanks JoAn...we enjoyed our stay!
Weâve stayed before and loved the location. The outdoor area is perfect for boating and entertaining. Iâve said this in a review from last year and it stands true still, it needs some major updating as far as the furniture, bedding and appliances. The blender is from 1970 and doesnât work and there definitely was not enough basics like silverware. The grill and stove are great to cook on. The fridge is fine. It just needs some more cutlery updated smaller appliances like a coffee maker and definitely better seating in the living room for the evenings. Itâs outdoor furniture and we had to put blankets over them because they were so stiff. That said, itâs still worth a stay because the convenience of the dock and neighborhood make up for the deficiencies. The
We grew up in Montreal Quebec Canada. Came to the USA in 1969 became citizens and we are proud to be Americans. We have to lovely 2 daughters, 7 grandchildren. We have been landlords for 36 years and work as a team. Married for 53 years.
We traveled to the Keys for many years because of my husband's love of scuba diving and his dream was to one day be able to afford a house on a canal where he could one day retire to. One day I just decided to say , lets look at houses and I fell in love with this house and even though it seemed out of reach for us at the time, I thought with many sacrifices we could do it. We struggled for a while but we made it happen by renting it and we are still renting it as we are not yet retired and as landlords it seems one never retires, but no complaints, we are happy to share our vacation home for others to enjoy . We continue to improve and ad new things and always appreciate ideas to make our vacation home as friendly as possible.
What I fell in love with the moment I saw the house was the pool and pool deck and it's uniqueness along with the chiki bar and deep sailboat canal. The large upper deck viewing the pool and canal was also very impressive. I just had to get this dream house no matter how hard I had to work to get it... and though it was a crazy idea we made it happen. My husband was just as excited about the prospect of having his dream house and we plowed forward and never regretted it.
