Our house is one of the most highly sought-after vacation homes in Islamorada that regularly books years in advance. The Last Resort is a firm favorite of multi-generational families and friends looking to create memorable moments that last a lifetime in a lush, private, and tropical setting.

As owners, we have spent 24+ years providing the best possible Keys experience for guests. Michele handles the day-to-day operation of the property and ensures that guests have everything needed for a stress-free vacation. We believe that guests should not have to worry about 'extra or hidden' charges so our rates INCLUDE many of the things other vacation rentals charge for such as pool heat, BBQ gas, kayaks, and baby equipment. Though the property is self-catering we supply many household items so you don't have to worry about purchasing them, such as laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, garbage bags, kitchen paper, cleaning fluids, etc.

We also don't charge a security deposit or pet fee. We operate on the honor & integrity system, giving our guests an authentic Keys experience that keeps them returning year after year as repeats.

From years of international travel with our kids, one of my pet peeves was the amount of equipment that I had to pack, just to go on vacation. Another was arriving at houses that were sparsely stocked or having to rent additional equipment. Greg and I made the commitment to provide as many supplies and equipment for our guests, from all kitchen equipment to baby equipment, from hairdryers & straighteners to lifejackets and water shoes, all to alleviate the need for guests to stuff their suitcases and truly make it a 'pack your shorts, flip-flops & toothbrush' kind of house.

The Last Resort is truly in a beautiful setting and we look forward to the opportunity to host you, your family, and your friends someday.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Rosborough & Greg Feeley

Host profile image
Greg and Michele are married with 4 children in total: 2 out of College, the 3rd a Junior, and a 10th Grader. We live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, which is a suburb of Raleigh. We have owned our home in Islamorada since 2000; prior to that, we owned a condo in Truman Annex in Key West, FL, since 1993. Greg worked in Finance for IBM/Lenovo & Cisco and lived/worked in England from 1998-2000 and Dublin, Ireland from 2000-2004 with IBM. He recently retired and enjoys spending time with my family, traveling, Islamorada, playing sports, and listening to boring financial shows and the History Channel. Michele is from Dublin- Ireland, a Management Consultant, an avid world traveler for work and recreation, and a major hockey fan.

In 2021, we added a 2nd property called The Last Resort Too. This larger home is set on two acres and is 6 bed/6.5 bath. One of those beds/baths is in a separate but attached guest cottage, perfect for a couple seeking some peace and quiet.

The house is located at MM 77 and is about 300 yards north of The Last Resort towards Robbies.

The VRBO number for this house is 4357870. The Last Resort Too has a beautiful walking and fishing dock but, unfortunately, is too shallow for all but flat bottom boats. The dock is a big hit with the kids who love fishing in the evening.

We hope you like this latest addition.

Why they chose this property

Close proximity to local shops, dining and Marinas. This is one of the largest property sites in Islamorada with a private sand beach and private canal dockage across the street. I purchased this home primarily due to the size of the oceanfront land as well as its charm in being a ground level home with lots of windows for viewing the beautiful surroundings (homes built after 1974 in the Keys have to be elevated) One of the more important considerations was the safety for kids and that is was an authentic Keys Conch home. It was built in 1922 and has some very interesting history to it. Islamorada and the house is a great location and makes it perfect for reconnecting with friends and family away from the hustle and bustle of life.

What makes this property unique

The Last Resort has overwhelming views of the Atlantic, large open verandahs, 165 feet of private sandy beach and a 15 x 30 foot seaside heated swimming pool, all on over one acre of private tropical land. (MM 76.7) The property also boasts a 37 foot protected concrete dock on the canal adjacent to house with direct ocean access. Quiet seclusion awaits you at this unique destination. Located in the middle of the Florida Keys, in the upscale neighborhood of Lower Matecumbe, this four bedroom, four bath home; with 4,000 square feet of living area, offers you the ability to relax, entertain and enjoy the many recreational activities found here. It is the ideal home for extended families due to the majority of living space being on the ground level. We are also a pet-friendly property! The wide-covered front and back porches are ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. The rear verandah overlooks breath-taking ocean views, palm trees, and the white sand beach, while the front verandah overlooks a beautiful tropical landscaped garden. Our vacation home also has a Roof Top Viewing Deck, again with stunning views of the palm-lined sandy beach, and views of the blue & turquoise Ocean as far as the eye can see. See our Photos. Recognized as a preferred location by International Designers & Publications for fashion and swimwear photo sessions, the interior is casually furnished, tropically decorated, and provides every imaginable convenience. You will find an abundance of great island shops, full-service marinas, and popular local restaurants nearby!
