Wonderful vacation!

This is a beautiful vacation home. Perfect for the adults and kids. My favorite times were congregating on the deck with the family, while watching the boats navigate the cut. We caught fish off the dock, and spent lots of time in the pool. We appreciated the life jackets and pool toys, too.

Holiday Happiness

Property was exactly as we had hoped for! Pictures were accurate and the place was well stocked. We had activities for all ages, but we mostly stayed by the pool and fished off the dock. Communication with Merideth, property manager, was very easy. Only hiccup was the pool heater popped a breaker, but they got it fixed quickly and we were back in business!

Excellent Family Getaway!

The property was first-class and in a great location. We stayed there with 9 family members and had an excellent time. The kids loved the bunk beds and the pool. We also rented a boat for the week and it was great having the dock right there to head out for snorkeling and fishing. Highly recommended!

Amazing place for boaters, and families!

We loved the property, and really enjoyed the layout of the house. It's wonderful having the dual master suites, and a larger bedroom on the main floor. The home was equipped with everything you could ever want, and we had a blast entertaining family and friends for two weeks.

Spring Break Palace

From the moment we booked the property, Meredith and team were wonderful to work with. The house was clean, spacious, and close to many activities. We booked with another family, and had 4 adults with 4 kids(5-12 years), and we all had a blast. The adjacent dock allowed for fishing, and had lots of marine life at night. We stayed a week, and it was perfect!

Great family gathering place

We had three generations of family with plenty of room and so many fun options. Our large group of 11 used the kitchen continuously and hung out at the pool at all hours. We fished off the dock and caught the most beautiful sunsets every day. This is a welcoming home that I highly recommend!

Central Keys location for vacation "Homebase"

Very clean and so many vacation home extras. From an experience of renting a house last year that gave us 1 garbage bag and 1 roll of cheap toilet paper per bathroom and no other extras, this house's extras were refreshing. We enjoyed Marathon and made it to the Dry Tortugas, Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. Comfortable beds, very nice finishes and beach home art & decorations, and an awesome deck that looked over Vaca Cut. Super happy with our choice to stay here!

Marathon Vacation

We had a lovely visit family to Marathon during Thanksgiving week. The house is very nice and was super clean. They have all the amenities you would want including a stocked kitchen and games for the kids. Keep in mind, that the steps are very steep and may be difficult for older adults. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely rent again.

10/10 Wonderful!

My recent stay in the Florida Keys was absolutely wonderful, thanks to this fantastic vacation rental. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the well-equipped kitchen, the well-stocked closet with pool floats, beach blankets, chairs, and anything else you would want to enjoy a day on the water! A minor downside was a busy road nearby which could be seen and heard from the backyard, but it didn't detract much from the otherwise tranquil setting.

Absolutely Perfect Place!

We stayed in this home for a week with my family (6 adults and 4 children) and we all enjoyed it very much! The views are spectacular, especially sunsets at night; the home was immaculate and well equipped with everything and anything you could possibly need on a vacation. We cooked several meals there and found the kitchen to be as well stocked with culinary items as our own home. The beds were all so comfortable and the bathrooms were well stocked too. We LOVED the location, watching boats come and go, even though we didn't have our own. And you can walk to a fantastic little place across the bridge to have ice cream and tour a beautiful gift shop. I highly recommend this home to anyone wanting a 5-star vacation!!

We had a wonderful stay! Memories made that will last a lifetime!

Everything was perfect with this property. They have EVERYTHING you would ever think of. We overpacked not knowing the selection of things that would be there. From family games, to pool equipment, fishing equipment and a fully well-stocked kitchen! We have stayed at numerous vacation rentals over the years and this one is definitely one of the best... TOP NOTCH!

Beautiful FLA Keys rental

We rented this beautiful home for a multi generation vacation. I can’t say enough about how wonderful our experience was. The home is very well equipped and just very comfortable. Our party ranged in age from 2-79 years. The pool area is fantastic as are all of the items available for swimming, fishing and playing games. We all agreed that we would definitely rent again. As an added bonus Key West was a great day trip. Meredith was wonderful to work with😊 Don’t hesitate to rent this property

Amazing Place!

We enjoyed our stay at Turtle Villa , the place was clean and beautifully decorated. Everything you need is there, I was impressed that even in the kitchen drawers the silverware was placed neatly. The only cons would be use of the TV , some instructions would be helpful. Not that we go on vacation to watch TV but Russia was attacking Ukraine.The Wi-Fi was not great. Meredith made it easy if you needed anything.

Terrific holiday!

Our two families with kids ranging from toddler to teen shared this lovely home and everyone agreed it was just perfect. It is well stocked with games, activities, puzzles, baby gear, and the best kitchen equipment of any house we’ve rented for vacation. We actually considered making an elaborate Thanksgiving meal (and then canceled the idea due to wanting to enjoy the sunshine more than cooking inside) because of how well stocked the kitchen is. The fishing from the dock was amazing. Saw so many varieties of fish and the kids loved watching them from as far away as the porch - the fish were that big and the water that clear! The location is very central to grocery, restaurants, and activities. We particularly loved visiting the state parks, mini golf, and the turtle hospital. The property management group is so kind and helpful too. Meredith was so quick to reply when we had a question and Pete impressed us with checking on pool and fixing a grumpy coffee maker for us. I cannot say enough nice things about them both. We would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for having us!
