Waterfront! Why rent on a canal when you can be on Bonefish Bay?
Home exceeded expectations. First thing to note it is spotless. Any type of water front/salt water environment in a tourist type area normally has above normal wear and tear. Not here. It is so comfortable and accommodating. You feel very comfortable without feeling you could not enjoy the surroundings due to being stuffy. The location is perfect mid-keys with access to lots of restaurants, retail, beach, walking, parks, etc. Within 10-minutes you are near everything the Keys are known for - or if you sit on the screened in porch or goof off in the pool all day you would swear you are all alone. It was just my Wife and I for semi-vacation (I always have to check-in on work) and it was very relaxing. Great internet even out to the pool (don't tell work I did many a zoom call with camera off in my swimmies in the pool). The home is well laid out if you have a medium size group with a split bedroom arrangement. Has two masters with one "upstairs" (a few half-story steps off the entrance with its own full bath), and then another king suite and double bed "down" on the main floor. There is a large bathroom off the entrance that also has full washer/dryer so don't over pack. Kitchen is not huge but efficient. Has a big outdoor grill. Best parts are the living areas both in and out. Two indoor "living areas" - one more of a TV area and one off the kitchen/dining area for sitting/games. Go right out the sliding doors to the best area - screened in porch with full sitting area (swivel chairs and couch along with a full dining area) that overlooks the pool, canals and offer incredible sunrise and sunset views. The house is situated perfectly for catching up and down of sun. Go down from the porch to the large pool and hot tub area. It is very private behind the hedges. Walk through the hedges to the full boat dock. Great for catching the boats coming in and out each day. You are about .5 mile from Coco beach which was never crowded. Its more a walking beach than white sand layout beach but still really nice. The neighborhood is very quiet and walkable. At the end of the road so no traffic. We had no issues while there. We usually went out exploring in the morning and returned after lunch to hang at the pool and finish with cocktails on the porch, in the pool or hot tub. If you follow that schedule you don't see any service people that kept the grounds and pool really clean. Can't wait to head back.
