Islamorada retreat "Bungalow Blue" w/ heated pool, Bikes, BBQ, amenities galore!

Welcome to paradise! Completely remodeled and immaculately maintained... Bungalow Blue is nestled away in the quiet quaint Shady Palms community of Islamorada MM76, Lower Matacumbe.
If you're looking to relax and unwind while also being in close proximity to enjoy the best Islamorada has to offer, this is the place for you!
Ideally situated next to the community heated pool shared with only 6 other bungalows, down the street from the private boat ramp/dock, and surrounded by palm trees and tropical native landscaping, you'll truly feel you're in paradise.
Enjoy the Florida Keys lifestyle in the landscaped back yard, play a game of corn hole or jump on the beach cruisers for a short bike ride to Robbie's famous marina to feed the giant tarpon, water sport rentals, and enjoy drinks, food, and shopping.
Have your own boat(Under 26')? Enjoy our free/no crowds boat launch providing direct access to the east coast waters.

You'll find a welcome packet upon arrival that includes recommendations for local dining and recreational activities. Islamorada, known as the Sportfishing Capital of the World, lends itself to some of the most famous marinas, including Bud & Mary's, only a 5 minute drive from your bungalow, and home to a fleet of charter boats and captains.
Whether you want to fish, snorkel, dive, kayak, paddle-board, or just take a cruise to the sand bar, there are multiple rental opportunities available in close range. 15 minutes north, you'll find Founders Park known as "The Gem" of Islamorada which offers outdoor recreation, tennis, aquatics, sports events, and a lovely beach for snorkeling(free access with copy of lease). Centrally located in the Keys allows you to day trip to Key West in 1.5 hours, or north to Key Largo in 45 minutes. Disclosure: there are two security cameras, one located on the exterior front porch and one on the back of the property solely for security purposes.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have as we are always here to help! We hope you will come visit and get to love Islamorada and our bungalow as much as we do!
- Yasmin & Joe Bartolomei

We enjoyed our stay at Bungalow Blue. The owner responded very promptly to any questions we had. The kitchen is well appointed. The bungalow is decorated beautifully. The pool is perfect and we had it to ourselves most of the time. The star gazing in the backyard was incredible. There is some road noise, but a sound machine was provided in the bedroom. We enjoyed using the bikes.

The Perfect Bungalow!

I cannot even begin to describe this amazing little gem in the heart of Islamorada. The bungalow was very clean and stocked with every comfort you could possibly need. A big plus was the comfort of the beds. Felt like home. Check in and check out was a breeze. It's conveniently located near parks, restaurants, bars, marina's, etc. We come down often and look forward to staying here again.

Great house and location

The house was perfect for our small family. It was clean, modern and completely stocked with all of the necessities (and more!). The location was great as well, just a short drive to all the restaurants, activities, and sites of Islamorada and an easy day trip to Key West. The pool was also perfect for our kids and we spent a lot of time just lounging in the pool area. A great place to stay!

Blue Bungalow Stay

Exceeded our expectations! The property was perfect for our relaxing vacation and the hosts, Joe & Yasmin, provided everything you could have imagined needing during our stay. They checked in frequently and were very responsive. We enjoyed the community's pool and made good use of the bicycles to tour the area each morning.

Bungalow Blue is a perfect getaway stay.

We loved our time at Bungalow Blue. The property was perfect for our anniversary getaway. The bungalow was well appointed and beautifully decorated. We encourage the use of the amenities available. We rode bikes, night swims in the pool and the boat ramp access. The neighbors are wonderful and we made some friends along the way. Lots of local food and shopping options close by.

In a nutshell….we had a great stay! Yasmin is very communicative throughout the whole process & did a great job answering all our questions. Bungalow itself is exactly as advertised! Super clean, comfy and just easy. Everything you need is there from the kitchen stuff, pool towels, etc….We took advantage of the bikes they have and rode to Robbie’s a number of times. Cooked on the super clean grill one night and of course hung out at the pool on&off during our stay. (The pool area is also very clean with nice lounge chairs and umbrellas). We immediately got into our routine each morning as we’d sit on the porch, drink our coffee and just read/hang out. Ocean breeze and shade kept it cool. You’re in close proximity to a number of “things to do”. Snorkeling, Walks, Fishing, Eating, Cool outdoor spots, etc….Thanks again to Yasmin/Joe for all your hospitality!

Great Memorial Day weekend

This was our first time to the keys and we had a great time . On Friday when we arrived we went to Robbie’s and had lunch and fed the tarpon . Saturday on the recommendation from the owner we went to Sombrero beach in Marathon where we did some snorkeling and saw lots of fish . Sat night we went out to Lorelis and heard a great classic rock band . Sun we drove to key west and walked around town all day and took in the sights . Great weekend vacation !! Oh the beds are super comfortable !!

Perfect tropical bungalow w/ everything you need!

Just as pictured & described! My husband, 4-year old & I loved our weeklong vacation! Yasmin and Joe were so thoughtful, helpful and communicative, from the Valentine flowers and sweets to their suggestions throughout the trip. By far the best bungalow on the street w/ flexible parking, a private back and side yard & the gorgeous pool just steps away. The bungalow was cutely decorated w/ an abundance of supplies & modern amenities. It was fun to ride the two provided bikes around the neighborhood - everyone we passed was very friendly. We rented a toddler bike from Backcountry Cowboy for the week, as well. For a couple of meals, we grilled steak and shrimp outside - delightful! Be sure to keep an eye out for a bright green iguana - so neat. Also up the road, a larger brown iguana that sits on a stump by the water everyday. :) Each morning we enjoyed breakfast and coffee on the adorable porch. Dinner out at restaurants was one of my favorite things to do! Food was wonderful everywhere! The pool temp is amazing and it's nice and clean. Also, they do a great job with spraying, unless it was the time of year, because ZERO bugs bothered us outside! Yay! Only negative---we had to leave and fly home to Ohio. :( Thank you so much for a lovely stay! Sarah, Drew & Annie (Huron, Ohio)

Wir haben einen wunderschönen Urlaub in Yasmins & Joes Zuhause erlebt. Alles sieht so aus wie auf den Fotos, nur in Natur noch viel schöner. Alles ist sehr sauber und zum absoluten Wohlfühlen. Die Keys sind ein Traum und Nachbarschaft, in der der Bungalow steht, ist großartig.
