"The furnishings/decor are beautiful. This is one of the nicest houses we have had the pleasure to rent, everything is spotless/brand new. It was hard getting our kids ages 8 and 10 to leave the house each day for adventures. " -Kristie Krueger
As a boating enthusiast, I designed Captain's Retreat for families who want it all â luxury accommodations plus authentic Keys adventures.
The spacious living area features panoramic water views through floor-to-ceiling windows, with a massive sectional where everyone can gather to share stories of the day's catches.
Outside, the private heated pool and spa create the perfect tropical oasis, surrounded by lush landscaping that provides both privacy and that quintessential Keys atmosphere.
"Ericâs Place was Truly Special! From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect getaway for our entire family. The house was wonderfully equipped with everything we could ever need, and more." - Yanet Hernandez
