Another Perfect Year at Summerland House!

We had another amazing stay this year! Such a wonderful house for the whole family! It has it all from stunning coastal views, private beach and pool! Very close to local restaurants, snorkeling, a great dock for a boat and fishing. The house is tucked in, and perfect o just relax with a tropical drink in hand! They also have kayaks, fire pit, and a room downstairs, with all kinds of fishing gear, poles, big coolers and amazing Ice maker. Perfect for a big family or group, every room has a bathroom, towels for inside and out! Wonderful game room, spacious kitchen and living room! The hosts are incredibly responsive and always make us feel right at home!We can't wait to come back next year!

Amazing property

Words do not do this property justice. The home is spotless and significantly well appointed with everything you would require. Paddle boards, kayaks, beach bikes, fishing rods, and everything you can think of inside the home. The grounds are meticulously maintained and the pool is awesome. The home is large and our party of 7 had plenty of space to socialize if we wanted to and disappear if we needed some quiet time. The hosts, Steven and Whitney are super accommodating and just a pleasure to deal with. The long dock is an amazing place to fish or just go out and relax and take in the beautiful views. Great location and close to good restaurants and a grocery store. We will most definitely book again.

AMAZING

This house is perfect! We were a group of 3 generations, ranging from elderly to teenagers, enjoying a one week stay. It was the cleanest rental house our family has ever stayed in. From the moment you walk in, you can tell that the hosts take pride in this property and have thought of everything. From a fully stocked kitchen to serve and enjoy meals, to having a beautiful ocean view, along with ocean access and your own private beach, to the perfect area to relax with plenty of seating options in both the sun and shade. It has kayaks, paddle boards, and plenty of other options to entertain the kids (and kids at heart). There really is no reason to leave this house during your stay.

This was a great place to stay. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. There were more beach towels than you could ever use. The sleeping arrangements/bedrooms were great for a large group. The swimming pool, pool toys, and games were amazing. And..the host was great about responding and helping. For a relaxing and fun place to be with young kids you can’t go wrong.

Our family of 10 just spent a heavenly week at Sterling Bay House and we could not love this house more! The house itself is just incredible—spacious, well organized and thought out, beautifully decorated, with so many great amenities! It truly feels like a small private resort. The location on Little Torch Key is perfect—it feels private and secluded, yet it is just a short five minute drive to the grocery store and pickleball courts. It’s also in a perfect location for a day trips to Key West or Marathon, which came in handy when we had a couple of windy days. None of us were ready to leave Sterling Bay House at the end of the week! We are also so impressed with the owners, Steve and Whitney. Steve is super responsive and helpful, and quickly fixed a couple of very minor issues that popped up. He’s also just a genuinely nice guy! We would highly recommend SBH to others, and will hopefully be returning ourselves sooner rather than later!

This place is amazing and fully equipped/outrigged. The listing is exactly as stated and beautiful. Very active marine wildlife and warm clear Florida key's water. Owner is very responsive and nice. Kiki's just a two-minute walk away and great restaurants a very quick drive. Everyone in our party was amazed, had a blast, and were sad to leave. I can honestly say that it is the best property I've rented.

Living the Life!

We loved every minute of our stay at Sterling Bay House! The house is a well appointed fulfilling all our needs! We were nine adults and five kids. There were fun things for the kids to do. The kids (and adults) loved the pool, we enjoyed being on the dock and fishing, enjoyed all the games for the outside, enjoyed the kayaks. We had iguana visits and key deer! We would definitely stay there again!

Excellent Venue

The Sterling Bay House was absolutely beautiful and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Our daughter had a small family wedding at the venue and it was absolutely gorgeous. The owners were very friendly and timely in responding to any questions we had and even went above and beyond to have all the dinnerware, glassware and silverware for the event. The location was very convenient to restaurants and stores and only a half hour or so to Key West.

What a blessing for our group of friends and family to gather and share time and space at Steven’s home. From start to finish it was easy, comfortable, and luxurious! The home is immaculate and full of sweet creative details. We were a group of 12 with ages 7-75 and everyone had everything that they could need or want! We would love to return again for more fun:)

The best house and property

We have stayed at a lot of houses together with our cousins and this was probably our favorite! The house itself was gorgeous and clean with every appliance and thing you could need. The owners really put thought into every detail. The house was decorated beautifully. The beds were super comfortable. The pool was incredible. The beach area and dock were so much fun. We enjoyed snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, and playing darts and other games. Thank you so much! We would love to come back.

Paradise Found

We can’t begin say enough about our family’s vacation stay at the Sterling Bay House in Little Torch Key—it was amazing! The entire property was absolutely beautiful—the house itself & the views from the house, beach & pier were breathtaking. Our group included all ages from 5 to 60s—there was something for everyone. Our host Steve was very prompt & accommodating, his recommended support & activity staff, shopper Julia & boat captains Ray & Leah, were excellent. We enjoyed just the property itself: large heated pool, sand, snorkeling, kayaking, pier fishing (bait shop close by) or just watching—sea turtles, shark, barracuda, puffers, parrot fish, iguanas, dolphin at night.

Sterling Bay House The Best Vacation

Amazing property-beautiful home, amenities, & views. Outstanding pool experience - kids & adults. Relaxing times on the pier, beautiful views, magnificent sunrises & sunsets. Game room activities were a hit for all. Walking distance to Tiki’s Sandbar & Grill - great food and music. Abundant walking/running/biking routes. Named friendly resident Iguanas (Larry, Lucy, Leonardo). Kayaks & Paddle boards added to a wonderful experience. We chose this property to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with children/spouses & grands. Definitely would book again and highly recommend as a top rated vacation spot. 5-STAR+++

OUTSTANDING!

Our entire family (8 adults and 8 kids, ages 5-11) stayed at SBH last week and loved every moment!! The house and outdoor living space are even more beautiful than we could have imagined. The house is stocked with amenities, well organized, beautifully decorated but also extremely comfortable, and there was so much for us to do! The views are outstanding and we loved getting to enjoy both sunrise and sunset. We rented a boat for the week, which was made easy due to the well equipped dock, and also highly enjoyed paddleboarding and kayaking with the provided equipment. The hosts truly thought of everything, and were also very kind and helpful whenever we had questions. We have already recommended this house to several friends and cannot wait to return!
