Very Nice 3 Bedroom Home With Large Lot! Built to entertain! Boat Ramp!
This is a beautiful property that offers a home like atmosphere as well as complete privacy. The property is in the community of Plantation Key Colony. This is one of the best communities in the Keys. Ample roads, large lots (space between homes), very quiet, very family oriented community. This property is part of 'The Village'. Meaning as a resident you have access to Founders Park for a (small fee for short term renters) that is considered to be one of the most complete parks in the Keys. This is a solid home that has been kept in a pristine condition and has all the comforts I high standard living. The location is ideal for all local activities and is still close to Miami. (Recently went through upgrades such as impact doors and windows, new huge deck and outdoor furniture). Note: I had removed property from VRBO to deal with permits and inspections. Home is now ready to go!
Vacation Rental Amenities
The property has 2 bed rooms, 1 Man Cave and 2 bathrooms.
1st bedroom (main living area) is equipped with a king size bed. It has an orthopedic mattress and an entertainments center (Flat screen Smart TV, DVR Direct TV dvr, Surround soundbar & DVD player). In addition to a ceiling fan, reading lights on each side of the bed and closet.
The 2nd bed room is larger with a big walkway and equipped with King Size Bed that has an Orthopedic mattress. This room also has an Flat screen Smart TV, DVD Player, Direct TV DVR and sound bar. In addition to a ceiling fan and closet.
The third room is on the 1st floor and is considered a man cave / game room. It is air-conditioned (split unit / high efficiency) and has a full size futon. TV mounted on overhead swivel to be viewed on both ends. Also has Direct Tv DVR with sound system that has Bluetooth with speakers for the inside living area and outdoors to be heard while on the patio, SPA etc.,. XBox one and Nintendo Wii with games and controllers. In addition to a full size SS refrigerator with ice maker. (This room is not designed for sleeping but for entertaining and storage).
The TV/Family room has a complete entertainment center. This includes a 50 inch High Definition Flat Screen TV, large sound bar, DVD/Blue Ray Payer, Direct Tv dvr, viewed from a large custom sectional sofa that has multiple recliners with remote controls for all positions.
Then you go to the kitchen and find a maple wood cabinets protected by a granite counter with under mount sink. Appliances are all stainless steel and the customary utilities are included (toaster, coffee maker, plates, cups, silverware etc.,
The bathroom is beautifully decorated with a keys like theme. The bath is a shower with a oversize head for a complete and relaxing shower after a long day at the beach.
The home is also equipped with a modem front loading Maytag washer and dryer combo. All, linens and towels are also included. In addition, the property is accessed by specific combination for each renter this includes all entry points (entry gate & main door). No one gets a key and every renters gets a unique code that is never repeated.
On the first floor you find a large area / room / man cave. This is a great air conditioned entertainment area with overhead fishing rod holder, refrigerator with ice maker, an entertainment center.
Step outside to find a professional ping pong table, domino table, dart game, ring toss game (traditional Bahamian game of trying to hook a metal ring by swinging it until it is caught by the hook). There is also a bathroom also nicely decorated so that you do not need to run upstairs.
Nice 6 person SPA / hot tub under the deck for added shade and privacy. Along the is a bench swing and hammock.

There is also comfortable chairs, beach chairs (easily taken with back pack feature), a bench swing under the deck and a single swing stand alone next tot the tree for added shade and a gazebo with a stainless steel BBQ with protective cover. Another gazebo with a ceiling fan, lighting and 6 person outdoor table. The back area is large and full of tree's that offer shade and lots of privacy. In the center of the pad for basketball with adjustable back board. The property is completely fenced in with a chain link fence in addition to a privacy mesh along the rear wall for privacy and to avoid the basketball from going into the neighbors home.
We have some Kayaks on the property that can be used. But you need to have a method of transport to take them to the ramp. The single user ones are light weight but bulky and the ramp options are in the community or a dedicated kayak only ramp with floating dock and free parking (no line no waiting) at the Tavernier bridge (5 minutes north of property). In addition, I do have a front door neighbor that has his own private ramp but cannot guarantee he will let you use it due to who is renting from him at the time of your stay.
There is a covered parking areas at the left side of the property that has a separate gate. This one is reserved by the owner which leaves his boat on site. Bring your boat and further enjoy the Florida keys with no waits and hassle in our private ramp! Meaning inside the perimeter you can park your boat, rv (RV's are welcome for parking only with prior notice and approval in advance) and have space for multiple cars. There is also more space for guests in front of the gated area. You can request access to the private community boat ramp that is normally no lines no waiting with gated secure parking (must request access key in advance of rental and has strict policies due the high costs of replacement if the key is lost set by community.
BIKES: 3 adult size bikes available for exploring the keys.

Perfect Location for Diving
This was the perfect house for our 5 weeks diving in the Keys. The covered open area provided an excellent area for cleaning and hanging our dive gear. The main living area was comfortable, and the kitchen allowed us to cook any meals we wanted to eat at home. We will definitely look to rent this house again the next time we are in the Tavernier/Islamorada area as it is a great home base to explore all there is to do here. Joseph was a fantastic owner to rent from. He was very communicative and quickly responded to any questions we had.

Wonderful vacation home
This was the perfect place for our 5 week vacation. The home was clean and was perfect because there was a place to my boat. There were so many amenities that came with this home we loved them all. The hot tub was great to relax and enjoy the evening. The man cave down below was perfect to hangout and relax in. Next trip that we take to the keys we will be renting this home again. The host was great and gave use the privacy needed but was always a phone call away if we ever needed anything. Thank you again for letting us stay in your home.

Wonderful, Joseph is the best host
Joseph’s house is everything in the description of his place and more. We had a terrific 4 months at his place. The house is very well kept up and stocked with all you need. Joseph went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood is very friendly and safe. Joseph is always available to help with anything that we needed but will give you all the space you want. He knows all the local stuff like fishing, snorkeling and diving. Shopping, restaurants, movie theaters, library and more are very close. We were with in 3 miles of almost everything. We were even only about a three block walk to church. Getting in and out on highway 1 was easy too. There is a Winn Dixie less than 2 miles from the house. We enjoyed it so much we will be back again. We would recommend you book early to get the times you want. We liked everything about this place. Thank you again, Joseph for making our stay a great experience.
PS: He has a grill, hot tub,basketball court, a man cave, TVs in every bedroom, bicycles, washer and dryer, 2 outdoor seating areas, games, DVD players, satellite TV, WiFi, kayaks and the most wonderful basket chair swing. We loved the swing, it was like floating while we were reading. We highly recommend this place.
