Great Condo and Location

The condo was beautiful; the location and views were fantastic; the saltwater pool was a highlight; the condo had all necessities and as described. The screened balcony and the views were awesome. The owner was super helpful and immediately answered all questions and was available during the check-in process :)

Beautiful views in islamorada

Convenient, quiet location right on ocean front with good-sized pool and comfortable beach, though not for swimming. Excellent morning sunrises to get you going each day. Easy access to good restaurant selection, but also set up to cook all meals at the condo. Plenty of room for 4.

Fabulous trip!

This was my 10th trip to Islamorada and one of the best! This condo was in a perfect location, convenient to everything that I wanted to do and the views are spectacular. I was lucky enough to watch a thunderstorm dance across the ocean in front of me from the balcony, I could not have asked for a better view!

Quiet place to stay

Loved the peace and quiet. Both bedrooms having access to the balcony was great. It was clean. There were some repairs going on on the first floor from the hurricane. The beach almost seemed like a private beach. And the view was great.

A wonderful place to enjoy the beauty of the Florida Keys

We spent three weeks at this lovely condo and could not have been more pleased. It was very comfortably furnished and had all the dishes, linens, cookware, etc we needed. It is conveniently located to restaurants, grocery stores, and activities, some within walking distance. Both bedrooms and the living room open to a screened balcony which is a wonderful bonus. We enjoyed morning coffee watching beautiful sunrises. The owners were excellent to work with. We look forward to returning.

Lovely condo right on water! Enjoyed the convenience of location, layout of condo, screened in balcony to watch the sunrise. Pool area nice, but sometimes overran by those renting 3-4 months. Construction was no problem will be nice when done. No access to water unless you rent a kayak, which I recommend you do. Had a great experience!

Exceptional value, great location!

Spent a week in the Keys at this beautiful property. It is a great location and the view is spectacular. The screened in porch may be the best feature of this condo. I spent hours there soaking in the view! It was the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation with the comforts of home. The owners are great to work with and made me feel like I was a friend/guest rather than a tenant. The complex is nice, quiet and clean. We didn't use the pool but walked down to it and it was beautiful. The location is convenient to good restaurants and things to do. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a place in the Keys!

Aging Property

Plusses: nice ocean view, common facilities of complex are recently renovated and very nice Minusses: all the dishes were gritty and needed washed perhaps because no dishwasher tabs were provided, mattresses are worn out and uncomfortable, kitchen and bathrooms very dated cumbersome check-in process that is split between owner and condo association. Location: there isn't much going on in Tanverier, but if you want to hit Miami, Key West, and the Everglades, it is centrally located.

What nonsense. The dishes are always clean. Mattresses are an individual preference. There are plenty of pictures that show the bathrooms and the kitchen. One of the rare people that gave me less than a five-star review. You didn't communicate at all and that was the check in problem. But thanks for all the food you left behind...

Fun time in The Keys

This condo is exactly what it is advertized. The views from the balcony are fantastic. There's even a little door in the screening that you can open to get photos without the screen. If you can get up for sunrise - do it! We rented bikes and were able to ride on old route 1 and stay safe from traffic. Rode most days 6-10 miles. We drove to Key West one day (about 2 hours) and spent the day. Founders Beach a mile or so down the road and Sombrero Beach on Marathon Key were great beaches. We also went to the beach at Long Key. Sight-seeing and fishing excursions out of Key Largo were close. We rented kayaks one day right in Tavenier and explored the mangrove swamps along Tavenier Creek. Favorite restaurants: Marker 88 (best food), Ma's Fish Camp (best key Lime pie), Old Tavenier, Made2Order, Morada and Jersey Boardwalk Pizza. We ate most breakfasts and lunches in. Ken was very attentive to all my questions and very easy to work with. A wonderful 2 weeks in the sun.

Not accurate listing / bare minimum

No pool for the entire time we stayed (for a week). Was emailed just a few days before arrival (already on first leg of trip) that the pool maintenance might happen during part of our stay, but it was empty the entire time and no work done that we saw while there. The POOL is obviously an important part of of a stay in the Florida Keys… Bring your own toilet paper, shampoo, soap because none was provided. The screen on the porch was ripped and blowing in the wind. Bedrooms were very hot while the living room was cold. Need to bring your own fans too. Checkout instructions did not say where to leave keys, so we left them on the counter. Got threatening emails and texts after we left because they wanted them back in a box, but were not told to do that. I am not a very picky person generally but this was pretty terrible as far as communication, expectations of amenities and his general lack of empathy. He acted like having a POOL in the KEYS was not important and that the only remedy that he would give would be a discount on a FUTURE rental. No way, I will not be staying here again. Take your chances if you dare to stay here.

You were sent 4 notices 2 weeks before your arrival that pool would be closed for emergency repairs. I have copies of everything I sent to you. You had a choice to cancel (for a full refund) or change dates. T paper and soap are always provided with extras in the vanities. They were there when I arrived the next day after you left. Yes there was a tear in screen which I wasn't aware of. The condo has 3 ceiling fans and a floor fan and the AC works just fine. Exiting instructions clearly stated what to do. In 18 years we never had any 2 star review or anyone lock the keys in the condo and not in the lockbox outside the door. There are many 5 star reviews with guests that return every year. Please tell the truth.

Nice, could be better.

Outstanding view, nice screened in balcony. AC didn't distribute air equality, bedrooms at least 10 degrees warmer than the kitchen/living room, and we had bedroom's doors open. Several times we had the large heated pool to ourselves, and the new game room we always had to ourselves. The owner is responsive and easy to reach.

July in Florida can be very warm but you can easily get the temperature in the 60s if you wish Use of ceiling fans in every room and switching the AC controls to On instead of Auto would have been what I would have suggested it if you called me.. I have never had a complaint such as this in 17 years. It does not warrant a three-star review.

Love The VIEW!

Peaceful, clean, had pretty much all we needed. Winn Dixie is less than 2 miles away and easy to get back and forth for groceries, snacks, water, etc and easy access to restaurants and sight seeing, a short drive to a more sandy beach. Could use some linen upgrades mainly and a few kitchen towels.

Hi Kimberly. Glad you enjoyed your stay. There are three sets of Linens in each bedroom, and there are ample dish towels. Maybe they were mixed in with the other towels and you couldn't see them. Anyhow I will double check in case they are missing. Thank you so much and hope you return. Ken and Sue

Paradise on the Keys

We were totally impressed with our stay at Sea Gulls Oceanfront Condo at Ken's property. Ken is extremely accommodating and immediately responds to any questions or concerns, and there were very few when we stayed for two months. This unit is clean and comfortable with just about everything you need for a short or long stay. The view is spectacular with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. You can easily sit for hours reading and watching the fishing and sailing boats as they travel past. And after dark you can spot the many cruise ships sailing in the distance. The pool is beautiful and very quiet and relaxing. All in all, we are looking forward to our next trip back in 2020.

4/10 Poor

The property needed updating on the inside and outside of the building.

Some of the updating that was needed was caused by a Hurricane that hit the Keys in September of 2017. The first floor was boarded up and the construction crew was there every day during our stay. They were working on the elevator and office and weight room and other units throughout the day. The construction noise was continual throughout the day. The pool area was ok except for the noise from the construction crew. The beach area was not usable. The sand was delivered and sat in piles until they came toward the end of our stay to spread it. The inside of the condo was furnished with older furniture and the cane chairs were very uncomfortable. The master king bed was not very comfortable. The kitchen was very outdated. Positive things were the view was very pretty and the pool was nice except for the noise from the construction crews.

Never had any of the complaints that you refer to since renting our condo for 14 years, except the restoration from Irma. I cannot predict when work will be taking place for it is happening all thruout the Keys for the next year or until finished. Before Irma all reviews were 5 stars.

Nice property but disappointing.

Unfortunately there was still considerable damage to the property from the hurricane. The condo unit itself was nice, though could use some updating. There were many other units within the building that were still having repairs done. The beach was still being repaired, which we did not know until we got there so we were not able to sit at the beach during our stay. The pool is nice and we did spend a little time there. It was sad to see the damages to the island. Most of our favorite places were up a running and many others are still working on it. We enjoyed our favorite places to eat and drink such as Lorelei's, Lazy Day's, Mile Marker 88, Midway Cafe (best key lime pie ever), Florida Brewing and Islamorada Brewing. We did a kayak trip one day through the mangroves which was very fun. Thank you for letting us stay in your condo. Hopefully the island continues to recover quickly!

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Mar 2020
Yes Irma was very disappointing to millions of people who live and visit the keys. With respect to repairs to other units and the beach, they were all scheduled to be finished long before your arrival. It takes a long time to get things done. For example, the drywall people have to drive from North Miami everyday do get to Sea Gulls. There is a housing shortage for blue collar tradesmen that was magnified by the storm. Please feel free to return as each year will look better and better. This is not their first hurricane. Thank you

Property is beautiful, condo was amazing, perfect place to stay in the keys.

We had so much fun here in the keys! The condo was well stocked and in the perfect area to get some peace and quiet, all while being close to everything we needed and wanted to do. Nicely decorated inside, clean and comfortable, and I loved the balcony especially. The view is amazing. Pool was great, loved the beach area and grills. We kayaked right off the property many days and saw stingrays, manatees, jellyfish, and all sorts of other fish. Everyone we met was very friendly and gave us plenty of advice on where to go, what to see, and where to eat. We would definitely come back to the seagulls.
