Perfect house for the keys. Nice deep canal with quick direct access to the gulf but tucked away enough to keep out of the winds. All the amenities downstairs for water activities and the inside was spacious, clean and up to date. Highly recommend

We stayed here the week of Christmas. Everything was great. The house was nice and clean, and Michelle was very responsive to any questions we had. Our only complaint, which had nothing to do with the house or Michelle, was that Mother Nature didn't fully cooperate during our stay. But that's winter time in Florida.

We decided to heat the pool during our January stay and were glad that we did. It was cool and windy the first few days that we were there but we found plenty of things to do. The location is perfect for exploring the Keys or for just hanging out at the house.

Michelle's home is in a great location and plenty of space for the 7 of us. Being able to keep my 26' boat right out back was very convenient and the pool was lovely after long days of fishing. We all enjoyed ourselves very much!
