Very responsive host, pool and beach was amazing. Had 10 people and we had plenty of room. We had an amazing vacation, house and land was absolutely amazing! Hung out on back patio and pool or beach the entire vacation, literally couldn’t get the family to leave the property.
We had a great time. House was lovely. FYI refrigerator in beach house does not work.

Hey there! So glad you had a wonderful trip! Next time, please let us know if something is not working while you are here so we can get it fixed or replaced. Everything was working prior to your arrival. We would always love the opportunity to make your vacation 5 STAR perfect! See you again soon.
We stayed with two families, there is plenty of room to spread out across the property. It lived up to all expectations, the outdoor areas including pool and beach and wonderful! The house is stocked with bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, floats, etc. We look forward to our return visit soon!
We enjoyed our stay on the Atlantic side, Lower Matecumbe, a few miles down the highway from Islamorada, Bud & Mary’s, and Robbies. The pool is nice and the large gently sloping private sandy beach with boats and paddleboard is a plus. The sandy bay is shallow and calm. Saw a dolphin in it one morning. Restaurants and amenities are all within an easy drive. We day-tripped to Key West - about a two-hour drive. Thank you to our professional hosts!

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the good and the not so great. It helps us to do our job better. That being said, we would appreciate if you could let us know what you thought we could do to make your stay better? As for the pond, that's a natural salt water pond. It's filtered from the ocean. Ocean water, in the summer, briny, but super cool! Hope to see you and your family again. Thank you for being awesome guests. Tight Lines, The Freewheeler Vacations Team
We rented this property to attend my niece's wedding in the area. The house (and its separate cottage) comfortably accommodated (with enough room for occasional privacy) our multigenerational family of ten, from my 6 month old granddaughter to my 85 year old father-in-law. All of the amenities, including kitchen for meal prep, patio and pool, private beach, kayaks and paddleboards, etc, etc, etc. The Freewheeler Team quickly addressed the few questions we had during our stay. Oh, and my nearly 3 year old granddaughter absolutely loved the iguanas and other wildlife!
Older spacious home with great views and extensive landscaping
The home has tremendous charm and potential and the grounds are wonderful. The furnishings are comfortable and plentiful and everything we needed was in working order. The house does need many updates but the artwork, pool and landscaping are all a big plus. Our family enjoyed the many amenities and the variety of activities nearby. The views from the pool and decks are also amazing. We were not aware of the large amount of seaweed at the shoreline and in the water and there was a frequent unpleasant odor from the seaweed brought in by winds and wind shifts, so we didn’t use the beachfront as often as planned. There actually isn’t a spa as noted in the property description. The property manager(s) were extremely pleasant and responsive the couple of times we needed assistance and we would definitely rent properties through them again.

Thank you for your wonderful review. Sorry about the seaweed. It happens, sometimes more than others, in the summer months. Out in the ocean, the weedline is important for fishing! BIG Mahi hide under it. When mother nature takes it inshore, very briny smell. Luckily it goes out after it comes in, depending on the tides. The spa in the pool is a part of the pool and is heated same as the pool, it is definitely not a hot tub. I'm so glad you and your family had a wonderful time at Markeysa. We hope to see you back again really soon!

Quaint Beach Property
First the Pros: This is a large home and can accommodate large families. Lots of space for privacy for different parties staying. Upon arriving the house the exterior is lovely with it’s circular drive and vintage feel. Overall interior decor was about a 3.5 star rating considering it’s older and a few things are outdated. The landscaping is well done. Bikes were provided. The separate cottage 20’ feet from the beach was darling. Enjoyed sitting by the beach in the provided chairs and hammock. The pool is very nice. Enjoyed the living room sofa with its back massagers. However, there are a few issues. Cons: While the house was clean, it was fairly clean. We had to buy a coffee maker because the one provided was horrible and unusable. Chairs in kitchen area were dirty from food spills. Interior cabinets in kitchen were dirty and cluttered. Pullout of drink holder on sofa was dirty and had food in it. Towels and linens provided are older and dingy. No beach towels are provided. Baseboards in some areas were gross. Clutter including a ladder just thrown on the side back porch. I found this unreasonable. Landscape pots just tossed under shrubs. Closets, pantry and cabinets are full of clutter. Masterbath tub was not cleaned. Master shower has paint peeling from ceiling and some mildew on tiles. Considering this is a rental and understanding how people treat rentals I tried to be objective but stairway also needs painting. Serious Algea bloom in pond. A few of iguanas over two feel long occupy the pond. While we found them amusing but I would recommend getting rid of them before the get any larger. While this is probably not entirely the property management problem, the beach was a foot deep in seaweed. Plastic bottles and straws and random flipflops and other litter were present. Effort could have been made to at least rake the beach. But it was apparent this is an ongoing problem since neighbors on either side was worse with tons of litter and in some areas two feet deep of seaweed present. Furniture is not new and in some areas not placed correctly. Master bedroom had two ummatched dressers placed side by side which was strange. Outdoor furniture is older. Pool was ok clean but still had dirt in it. My overall rating is 3.5. House needs a deep cleaning, organizing/declutter, and better linens.
My whole family had a great time at Markeysa. The beauty and tranquility of the place struck us the minute we came through the front gate. The property is very private and beautifully landscaped, and the house itself is like an art gallery. The property manager was very personable and responsive. When we mentioned that the coffee maker was a little small for our family, he brought us a brand new one the same day!
I definitely would like to come back to Markeysa.

Thank you for leaving a review for Markeysa. We appreciate reviews, good and bad. However, we were a little surprised by "Outdated". The photos are 100% indicative of the house and yard, Inside and Out. The home is definitely not outdated, but if there is something specific that needs to be fixed we would love to know what that is. In the future please give us a call to voice your concerns. We are always here to help!
This was our first trip to the Keys and so our first impression of the house did not disappoint. Upon entering the gate, you see a beautiful Key West style house with lush landscaping and inside, you see the gorgeous view of the pool, beach and ocean beyond. The kitchen is well appointed with a high end oven, two fridges and lots of pantry space. The master bedroom is spacious and has a balcony facing the ocean. However, the third floor does not have a bathroom and the “bedroom” with the twin beds is really a space at the top of the stairs with no door. The main level bathroom is large (with a shower) that can be entered from the pool deck. The pool is large and the pool deck has lots of seating but the hot tub was not functioning at the time. The private beach was nice but there was some smelly seaweed that was unpleasant to walk through to get to the water (were told this is common in the Keys). However, we still managed to enjoy the kayaks and paddle board that were provided. All in all, we were satisfied with the house but a little disappointed in the beach and the area in general, so if you are familiar with the Keys and are okay with small beaches, the seaweed and traffic, then this is the house for you.

Thank you for your review. We love happy repeat guests! Seaweed in the Keys is a necessary evil. Out in the water when fishing, you know you are about to be on a school of some big Mahi! When it floats up to land... no Mahi and a Salty Earthy smell. Luckily the tide takes out what it brings in. Too bad it always leaves some behind. LOL Summer Seaweed is a constant battle up and down the coast line. We hope to see you and your family back at the Markeysa again really soon! Thank you for being amazing guests.

Thank you for staying at Markeysa. We hope you and your family enjoyed your Winter getaway. Although we appreciate feedback, good and bad, we are somewhat confused by your comment/review as we did not hear that anything was wrong from anyone in your party during your vacation. The caretaker is on property multiple times a week taking care of anything needed while staying out of our guests way. In the future, if there is an issue, please let us know so we can correct it. There is nothing we can do, after you check out, with nothing specific being wrong.
Pros: Beautiful landscape. I loved the character of the house, pool, beautiful garden and beach. There is artwork all over the house. My family enjoyed all the different kinds. As in other reviews the house needs updating. We didn’t mind that part.
Con: our family used the cottage nick named “she shed” it had been closed up for awhile. It was musty and my feet we're black walking on the floor. I recommend the cleaning crew change linens and air out the place. The beds on the 3rd floor and cottage were very uncomfortable. Recommend to update queen mattress to a nice pillow top.
Overall we had a fantastic trip and enjoyed the house
Great beach, excellent flats to wade toward Indian key for flyfisherman, meticulously landscaped and amazing original art. While furnishings are somewhat dated, a really aw some place!
The house was beautiful with a private beach.
I would say that the only negative thing was the rooms upstairs that didn't have a lot of air conditioning and no blinds either in the room with the double bed -
Lots of things to do at home, bike, kayak,paddle board, pool. Surprised at the amount and terrible smell of seaweed. House was gorgeous and kitchen had everything one could need, though very poorly organized as plates, pots, ,glasses were in all different cabins. I also not very clean,we had to wash all silverware and silverware holder as there was food in it. Also food on the floor in the living room. Other than that, the location and view weee outstanding.
Beautiful house in spectacular location. Truly one-of-a-kind! House could use some basic updates (sheets, mattresses) and light maintenance but otherwise wonderful!
