Check in was quick. We locked ourselves out and the host sent the maintenance man to let us in right away. The extra bedroom has a musty smell to it. Had a great time.

Beautiful View nicely decroated. but smells of mildew and mold.

You walk in and the home is decorated really well. The view is terrific. But the smell is awful. Emptying the de-humidifiers was a real pain in the ass. We could not use the one bedroom because it smelled so bad. Serious mold and mildew issues. I woke up with snot all over my face from draining sinuses. Leaving doors open as much as possible helps with the odor.

Great Harbor Location

Dated but well maintained and updated house on the water. Clean and well appointed. Slightly disappointing that you can't really swim outside the dock, but need to take a boat to open waters. A perfect place if you have a boat.

Amazing!

This place is absolutely beautiful. Clean, well kept and best of all, it's right on the water. It's not too far from any place in the keys. The owners also left a nice basket of necessities as well as a bottle of wine. Memories were made here. Would come back in a heart beat.

Boot Key Harbor

Great harbor view with easy access to points of interest. Views from kitchen/dining and living room - with a very large master and master bathroom. Nice "WELCOME BASKET" provided with various items to make your stay easier and more enjoyable. Overall cleanliness was good with some items needing a few updates: new outdoor furniture needed and was delivered while we were staying - several hours enjoying the harbor view and relaxing with the breeze. Sofa is a sleeper sofa missing mattress causing the sofa to be a bit uncomfortable, great recliner and other optional seating available. New mattress would be a great improvement and was not able to get the grill to work. The positives totally made up for those few negatives and they are working on getting those resolved. Met the owner while there - Tom was very kind and helpful in setting up some whips for mooring the boat, Looking forward to next year and reserving again!

Very nice location, loved the porch and living space

Location in the middle keys is very nice, and this location on the north side of the Seven Mile bridge is particularly nice and in close proximity of many outdoor activities. We stayed during the first week of April and the seas were very calm everywhere during our entire stay. Loved the porch and waking up in the morning and just relaxing with a coffee, iPad, and the great view. One day a Great Blue Heron landed on the sea wall and proceeded to walk up the steps and onto the porch (looking for handouts I guess). The large inside living area is surrounded by ten large glass door walls. Loved all the glass, the view, and openness this provided from the inside. Quick and responsive communication with property administrator, and quick return of deposit. Thank you!!!
