Nice location

We had an overall positive experience with the property management, communication was smooth, the location was convenient, and the property itself was clean and well-maintained.However, we did notice a few areas where improvements could make a big difference. The amenities provided were quite minimal, for example, there was a very limited supply of paper towels and bathroom essentials, which can be challenging for larger families.More importantly, the beds and mattresses were quite dated and uncomfortable. Some felt partially broken, and unfortunately, I struggled to get a good night's sleep during our entire stay.This isn't intended as a negative review, our stay was still enjoyable, but attention to these basic comfort and maintenance details could greatly enhance the overall guest experience. A few thoughtful upgrades would go a long way in ensuring future guests have a more comfortable and satisfying visit.

Beautiful home!

Visited for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful stay. Gorgeous home! Plenty of room for a family of four (3 adults and 1 teen) especially having a third full bath. Nice pool area with a heated pool and beautiful views. Close enough to Key West to go back and forth. We will definitely return!

Highly suggested!

This is a great place to call home while visiting the keys. The location was great for exploring all of the other keys including Key West, and it was away from all the noise and commotion. Very easily accessible. The house was super clean and tidy with more than enough room for the two of us. The space would definitely be roomy enough for a family or for sharing with another couple. We would definitely stay again

Great Location-Great Stay

This property is in a great location in the FL Keys. The space was clean and well-appointed with everything you need for a great stay. The grounds are well maintained have access to the water and a very nice pool area. We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing on the dock. Restaurants are a very short drive away. Host was the most responsive and attentive of any similar property we've stayed at. This is a great pick for a family vacation in the Keys!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie

Host profile image
I am the property manager. I live only a few minutes from the property and you will have my cell phone number so I will be available to help with any issues that may arise. I think you will find me very easy to deal with.
I try very hard to help my renters in any way I can, and I try to provide an exceptionally clean and comfortable home.

Why they chose this property

Sunrise Beach is always a quiet place to relax. With nearby dive companies, or your own boat, you can explore some of the most beautiful reefs in the Keys just a few miles off shore. Nearby Key West (17 miles) is always a fun trip for a wide variety of food and entertainment. However, three of my top five favorite restaurants anywhere in the keys are less than 5 miles away. You will be staying in one of eleven stilt homes in this secluded gated community.

What makes this property unique

Our house has a chic cottage feeling to help you feel like you are at the beach. come relax in the hammock or come and enjoy all the water activity the keys have to offer.
we supply you with sugar, tea, and coffee pods for the keurig as well as ground coffee for the drip coffee pot. We have limited spices and other pantry items that you are free to use during your stay.
We supply some paper towels and toilet paper to get you started and bars of soaps . You will also find bath wash, shampoo, and conditioner , hair dryers, and various other items in case you forget something at home.
