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.
Very well stocked vacation home. Wonderful kitchen amenities, plenty of towels bath and beach, numerous games/ toys, lots of comfortable seating areas to hang out.

Fantastic!
The house was exactly as advertised and was a perfect place for 10 people. We loved everything about it. There are lots of toys for the kids and lots of room for the adults.
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!

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!
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!

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.

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

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!!
Loved the layout of this house. Plenty of room for 12 people. Modern, clean, spacious with a ton to do for the kids with safety locking gates for little kids that was a relief to have being on the water and with a pool. Was just as nice or nicer than pictures showed. All sorts of games, ping pong, pool toys, floats, beach items etc provided which was convenient. Easy convenient location to park boat at. Nice balcony views of water and pool below. House manager very easy to work with, responsive to questions, and made for hassle free check in and out. Would definitely go back to this house.
It is beautiful. Home is well maintained and decorated beautifully. Views are lovely. We had the pool heated and was perfect. Handyman made himself present, answered all questions and helped with inflating paddle boards. Our family loved the house and hated to leave.
The only reason I gave it 4stars instead of 5 was my interaction with the property manager via text. For a a simple question, yes or no, I was returned with dialog that was rude and offensive. We were fortunate to have the friendly helpfulness of the wonderful handyman and gardener to help with 2 other small issues. All in all this is a wonderful house with great amenities and you’re sure to enjoy every minute of your time here!

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!
We had an amazing stay at this property for a family celebration. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us to enjoy either being together as a group or spread out doing our own thing.
The home's decor was lovely and the home was well-maintained and very well stocked. The beds were all very comfortable. We had all of the dishes and appliances available that we could have possibly wanted. Most of us were here from a colder climate, so we especially enjoyed the pool (which we had heated) and outdoor seating possibilities throughout our stay. We also enjoyed the games and pool toys from the downstairs game closet.
Communication with Meredith was quick, easy and thorough. We needed to reschedule shortly after our original booking and she made that happen with ease.
She also provided several very clear communications in the week leading up to our booking with information we needed to gain access to the home and gave us an opportunity at that point to add heating for the pool, which we hadn't originally requested.
We would highly recommend booking the Blue Turtle Villa at The Tides.
This property is absolutely amazing. Well stocked and extremely clean and comfortable. Spacious with a great heated pool and fishing right off the dock. Will stay here again!!
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!
This is a great property. Awesome home furnishings with great outdoor space. The slip for the house is convenient and really easy to access and dock. Would stay at the property again.
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.
This property has everything you could want. Spacious, beautiful inside and out. Our family of eleven had a great time with all the games provided and beautiful pool. Highly recommend
Loved the important extras- Ice chests, beach towels, plastic plates for children, baby gate, pack n play, plenty of laundry detergent, coffee filters, dish soap, pool toys…. Also, the property manager responded quickly to questions.
