Another fantastic stay at this property. The location is absolutely perfect for us - off the beaten path, easy access to the water, quiet and peaceful. We arrange to have kayaks dropped off for the week and spend a good amount of time paddling Niles Channel and the mangroves. The screened porch is a fantastic spot - gorgeous sunset views protected from the mosquitoes and flies. Shared many a dinner on that porch. Easy day trips to Marathon or Key West.

Great place to stay. Was able to catch fish off the dock. I enjoyed the sunsets and used the palm tree on the next to deck to get gorgeous photos.

The views out over the ocean were the best - especially at sunset. And the big screened in front porch was great too - and hard to find in the Keys! We really enjoyed the private dock too - saw lots of different fish, and caught a few!

What we were looking for

We were looking for a spot that had easy access to the water and slightly remote. This place was perfect. Not a lot going on right around the house, but we could get out and do things with a short drive.

Awesome property...

Our second year staying here, what an amazing property. Close enough to the chaos of Key West, but secluded with Key deer everywhere and iguanas walking down the dock. No chickens! We'll be back.

The house is very nice and we had a great stay with our family. My only complaint is that we tried to get in touch numerous times with the property management both by email and phone messages and never got a reply. We had a few simple questions about the house and location and it would have been very helpful in advance to have been able to communicate with the owners or management.

A Piece Of Paradise

What a wonderful spot. The private dock, screened-in porch and open floor plan are just a few of our favorites. The host is lovely and the king bed is very comfortable. I loved all of the sea life to explore and the quiet sunsets. We will definitely be back! Loved every minute of our stay.

A perfect home with a view

As a family of 4 with a 4 & 5 year old this place was great. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony in the mornings. Fishing off the pier in the evenings. Beds were comfortable. It’s just far enough away to offer seclusion and yet close to things when rainy days take you off the water. Overall this home was exactly what we wanted. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful vacation home on Big Torch Key

I had a wonderful 3 weeks stay at Beachside@Torchview. I loved the privacy of the house, the gorgeous sunset views, and the peaceful mornings sitting out on the deck while drinking my morning coffee. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a quiet getaway in the busy Florida Keys. It was everything I had hoped for, and I will definitely be staying here again if I decide to return to the Keys next year. The house was very clean and suited my needs perfectly, and the host was very accommodating.

Second Stay

This was the second time we've stayed at this property. We rented it for fall break 2023 and 2024. We always have a blast at this house! The location is beautiful, private, and quiet. We had so many Key deer in the front yard each evening. The fishing is great. We caught so many fish and several sharks. The house is always clean and comfortable.
