VOTED BEST KEY LARGO VACATION RENTAL

Fully renovated luxury townhome, licensed vacation rental property, is less than an hour from Miami. Nestled in the heart of Key Largo, Florida, Kawama Yacht Club (KYC) is as good as it gets for meeting all vacation needs. A mangrove wildlife sanctuary borders on the south of the property. While on the east, the Atlantic Ocean beckons fishermen from afar. KYC is 25 acres of restful solitude with 24 hour gated security. There are two heated pools, kids playground area, two tennis courts & 2 Paddle Board courts, a 4 acre salt water lagoon, community 5 BBQ's and 2 fire pit areas, marina with free boat launch, 1,000 ft jetty for sunset watching and fishing, and many walking trails right on the property. While visiting Kawama, make time for all the local attractions. The Everglades National Park is about 50 minutes away, with plenty of eco-touring and airboat rides. Key Largo's pride and joy, The John Pennekamp State Park is only 5 minutes away, MM102.5. Notably known for the first undersea park in the United States, where the famous statue of Jesus can be seen, all encompassing 70 nautical miles. Catch the "Glass-Bottom Boat" or the many snorkeling boats for enjoyable ocean exploration. Hiking and biking trails located within the State Park, with nominal fee for park maintenance. Molasses Reef is located within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which is east of The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. This "bucket-list" diving spot, Molasses Reef, is known for being one of the most beautiful coral reefs in Florida, marked with an unmanned reef lighthouse. The "African Queen" boat famously known for Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn's 1951 film, is located at MM 100.5, in the heart of Key Largo. In 1992, this was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Just below Key Largo, in Islamorada (approximately MM 82), the charming village of the Moorings Village is the filming location of the Netflix hit series, Bloodline. Go across the street, on the bay side, to Morada Bay and sit and watch the sunsets and take photos next to the "crooked palm tree." Florida Keys Outlet Marketplace is located 29 miles from Kawama. On the way to the Everglades National Park, stop at the outlets and do some great shopping.
Our townhome, renovated for the Key Largo vacationer, is very comfortable. Third floor with 2 bedrooms; extra deep queen mattresses, black-out curtains, and smart TVs, and private balconies. The third floor bathroom with large walk-in shower. The 2nd floor, main living room with open concept kitchen dining with full bathroom.

Great experience!

The townhome was large and I liked the layout so everyone had their own space. There are multiple balconies which was one of our favorite places to hang out while there. The sunrise/sunsets at the beach were beautiful! We were busy so didn’t spend much time in the lagoon or pools but the grounds were well-kept.

Great time!

We had a great time. The accommodations had everything we needed. We loved having access to kayaks and paddle boards. Great and safe area to walk and ride bikes. They had fire pits and a great rock peninsula area to view sunsets and sunrises. There was a marina with fishing opportunities leaving area marina. The only negatives were no working bikes and not a fourth bedroom. It really was 3 bedrooms with a den area with a couch that made a bed.Would go again! Norman, the property manager, was the best!!

Great quick trip!

We had a wedding to attend in Key Largo and this was the perfect place for our family to stay for a quick trip. We were able to check in easily and our property manager was very kind. There was so much more than we even expected to be there, such as bicycles, Kayaks, fishing poles, and so much more! They even had a pack and play for our baby as well as a stroller and seat to put him in. Everything was very clean!

Amazing Key Largo stay

We had a fantastic stay at Kawama in Key Largo. We had our family of 6 (2 kids, parents, grandparents). Felt we had ample space, towels, pool toys, etc. Location was ideal for excursions to biscayne NP and everglades. Without leaving the property, we could swim and snorkel in the lagoon (complete with many fish including parrotfish and tarpon) - this was a perfect place for my kids to get fun safe snorkeling experience in in calm water. The next day we took the ocean kayaks out on the ocean to the mangrove trails which we and our kids loved. From the point at the beach, again on property, we could take in spectacular sunrises AND sunsets each morning and night. Was a perfect spot for a stay in Key largo and would absolutely stay there again!

Unit needs upgrade

Overall a 7 out of 10. Ground floor kitchen was not a kitchen at all. Inly microwave and toaster oven. It would have been helpful to have access to the refrigerator or at least a small refrigerator. Bathrooms towel bars were broken or missing. Dryer broke on our second day and wasn’t repaired until late Friday afternoon and washer leaked badly. Kitchen was adequate but lacked cookware that matched and there were lacked drinking glasses, just wine and margaritas glasses. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of linens and towels. Living room area could use upgraded or more seating. Kitchen chair seats were not attached. Stairs leading outside were rotted and dangerous. door slider on upstairs bedroom closetseriouadjustment

Perfection

The property was lovely and exactly as pictured online. It was totally updated in pretty, beachy tones. Check in was seamless. Our amazing manager Norman greeted us and provided a detailed tour of the property as it is quite large. He showed us how to access all of the amenities including kayaks, paddleboards and bikes...really all you need if you want to stay at the property for a day without venturing into the Keys. The condo itself was perfectly situated. It is an end unit so there are neighbors only on one side. There are balconies in each room, some overlooking a beautiful lagoon with lots of interesting fish. The three floors and multiple bathrooms were perfect for our group of five. There was more than enough room for all with as much privacy as we wished for. The basement space was like a mini apartment that provided even more separation. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we hope to book again next year and would certainly recommend it to friends and family. My only areas of small improvement might be to add streaming services to the three TVs in the main living room and bedrooms. They did have cable, but I was surprised that there was no streaming ability in a condo of this high caliber. There was a smart tv in the basement. Also, the mattress on the pull-out couch in the basement is less than wonderful to sleep on even with the topper. However, pullout couches are not known for comfy mattresses. Again...just minor things. Our stay was great!!

Nice Stay in Key Largo

Pros: responsive host, nice location, nice amenities, nice beach area with chairs, grills. Beach area has large rocks along water but stairs to water. Rained so we did not utilize pools. Extremely well stocked w/ kitchenware, seasoning, etc for cooking. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows. Nice, screened in decks to sit on with patio furniture. Cons: Property description not accurate. On the "plus" side, each floor has a bathroom AND shower (description did not mention shower in 2nd floor bathroom). States 1st floor apartment has a "double sofa bed and one twin bed." It does NOT. It has a sofa bed and a COUCH. I contacted host before our stay to verify b/c pictures looked like a couch and I was assured it would convert to a single bed, but it was indeed, just a deep couch. Living room states "1 double sofa bed" but it was just a sofa. I was disappointed as our group had 2 couples and 2 singles & I had wanted everyone to have a bed, but one had to sleep on a couch. When we arrived, there were wet towels in the dryer and wet towels hanging in the bathroom. Host said house keeping was very busy (busy time of year) and rushed and hung up damp towels that were clean. We just pushed them aside and used clean, dry towels. Host was very apologetic about this, by the way. Overall, I really liked this property and would highly recommend it.
