Keys Tropical Oasis:Private Pool, Huge 75 foot Dock! Swim,Fish,Dive! Family Fun!
Come enjoy this Boaters’ Paradise! Not for the Sit inside type- get out there and fish, dive and swim! This place is ideal for the outdoorsy type! Way more exciting and unique than the “Hyatt”! The canal and Lagoon are a real life free-range aquarium with a ton of marine life: sergeant majors, Tang, schools of parrot fish, snapper and turtles abound right off the 90-foot dock for fishing, viewing and feeding. Lobster season is rockin’ too, even off the dock! Manatee often come in for protection in the Winter as a bonus.Tropical Oasis was my family’s home, hand built by my father in the early 1980s. He poured himself into it to give three generations of us a place to come together and live simply- basking in the sun and saltwater. Dad knew these were the keys to a happy life, and now we want to share them with you. Explore the healthy and vibrant deepwater canal and lagoon. Re-live a simpler time on the peaceful street and stargaze at night in the easy trade winds. Explore the healthy and vibrant deepwater canal and lagoon. Enjoy family-friendly fun with a heated pool and a large dock on the canal and lagoon, with easy Gulf of Mexico access. Public boat ramps and the Atlantic Ocean with Sombrero Lighthouse Reef are just a 5-10 minute boat ride away. Lower level boasts pool, reclining couch, ping pong and pool tables, extra beer/ bait fridge and a fish carving table with hose. Highly recommend Off the Hook Charters at https://www.offthehookfl.com/ for all your fishing and charter needs! Marathon boat rental for a great deal on boat rentals to get you out on the water!

"Fantastic stay! The property was exactly as advertised and met all our needs. It was clean, well-stocked with essentials, and in a perfect location. From the easy check-in to the responsive host, everything was perfect. We enjoyed the encounter with a manatee, right off the dock. Highly recommend!

Patti I am SOOOOOO glad you saw the amazing resident manatee family! I know that you needed a respite from the freezing WInter and you went through a lot to get to Tropical Oasis and get back! It sounds like it was well worth it - can't wait to have you back to see us!
Wonderful house. We had a great time. The house is clean and well appointed. Great dock access for the boat we rented. Saw manatees and tarpon swimming in the canal at the dock. Will be back for sure!!

Thank you Chris! I am so happy you enjoyed yourselves and I'd love to have you come back! It's so great you saw the manatees and even the tarpon!
Had a blast at Keys tropical oasis. Dock had plenty of room for our 26 ft boat and 2 jet skis. Kids fished off the dock and the pool is heated and worked perfect. Downstairs was perfect for the kids. The house has everything you need. Plenty of room for everyone. Bonnie is great to work with and will help you if you need it. Thank you again for the stay.
Had a great time. Clean and spacious. Comfy beds. Refreshing pool. Was able to dock boat with plenty of room. Bonnie was available anytime. Loved the pool table. Thanks so much

Thank you for the review- and also for highlighting the fish! The water there is a natural wonder I’m telling you. You were great renters!
This property is beautiful. However, 3 of the 4 people staying were over 80 and the stairs proved to be a challenge. Everything was clean and working as expected. The one draw back for us was no bathroom on first floor where pool was. There could have been clearer instructions for wi-fi, garbage and dishwasher, and the commode on the second story was not working properly. The owner acknowledged that she needed to clarify instructions.
Glad that you enjoyed yourselves Angela! You seemed very happy during your stay. The house is quite updated and definitely competitively priced and priced accordingly. As stated, this is a family-friendly and pet friendly rental with amazing deep water access to the Gulf, a private pool and tons of space for living and enjoying life in the Keys!
Great location for the avid fishing crew with plenty of room for your boat. Amenities are great. House was sufficient for our group. Bonnie was easy to communicate with and very responsive.

Thank you Jill! You guys were great guests! We’d love to have you back!
We loved this place! The kids really enjoyed the pool and game room. Plenty of dock space for our 25' boat rental. The canal had plenty of Snapper we enjoyed watching and feeding, we even saw a Nurse Shark, Green Sea Turtle and a Manatee! Everything we needed was provided and host was very communicative. Side note: bonus points for being pet friendly, our Bulldog enjoyed the screened in porch overlooking the canal!

Cody- Thank you for the lovely review and for highlighting the very vibrant sea life! Yes we love sweet doggies. So glad you enjoyed your time at Tropical Oasis!
Host was easy to work with. Great spaces available throughout the property, never felt crowded. Decor was nice. PLENTY of dishes, cookware, etc. Double ice maker in kitchen fridge and extra fridge with ice maker on lower patio level. Pool area was beautiful. Plenty of outdoor seating in every area. Light switches labeled for easy ID of what they went to. Smart TV in every bedroom and common areas so easy to log into your own subscriptions plus Roku available in living room. Entertainment area recliners and big screen tv in downstairs game room. A few things needed a little TLC but the only real negative was needing to go outside to go back and forth between main living area and the downstairs entertainment area.Very close to Marathon airport if you enjoy watching planes take off.

Thanks so much for the positive and thorough review Dianna! We'd love to have you back. Yes - we can't have inside stairs in the Keys for the most part - and we had to tear out indoor plumbing on the ground floor. but we made the best of it with the game room and home theater. TLC is ongoing, especially in the tropics. Thanks for your great review!
Clean, comfortable and great location.We had a very nice week's stay at Tropical Oasis. The house was clean (refrigerator and stove, spotless too), beds were comfortable, and the AC worked great. We enjoyed the pool, game room and long dock. We saw a lot of wildlife come through the channel – manatees, turtles, huge schools of parrot fish. The location is great, especially if you have a boat. We rented kayaks and enjoyed paddling and fishing in the inlet and around the mangroves. Bonnie was a wonderful host and very responsive to any questions we had.
They place was great for our group. We had a boat and the dock and bayside access was simple and easy. The game room and pool were great entertainment for the kids during rain and in the evenings as well. Very convenient property with plenty of room for parking with the boat trailer.

Wesley- we are so glad you enjoyed Tropical Oasis! Thanks for the detailed review- would love to see you back!
This was our very first time renting a home and we were not sure what to expect.Our host Bonnie exceeded our expectations!House was as described, very clean and well maintained. This place checked all the boxes for us, boat dock big enough for our 41 boat, fenced in yard for our doggies and a beautiful pool.We enjoyed the game room with our friends and had ample space for all.Great house, great location we will be back!Thanks

The house is well appointed and the screened porch awesome. Saw manatees, dolphins, pelicans and turtles in the canal. It was a very relaxing, stress free week with friends!

Janice we are so glad you enjoyed Tropical Oasis! I am always in wonder with the gorgeous marine life and how it continues to thrive in the canal and lagoon. Would love to host you again!
The kitchen was as well equipped as mine at home and all the rooms were larger and nicer than the pictures suggested. The heated pool was wonderful, we were able to swim every day in mid January! Bonnie was super responsive and easy to work with. No doubt, we’ll be back.
