Fun in the Sun

Sunny’s Paradise is a top notch property. The owners have taken great pride in finishing and furnishing the interior. We had a great time, we rented a boat and fished the Gulf and Atlantic sides. The location is great for land attractions too and is within walking distance of US 1 where you’ll find the best Cuban coffee at LJ’s and a Walgreens for those items you forgot at home.

Spring Break in the Keys

This property was very clean and appeared to be recently remodeled. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved the bunk beds. Very nice master shower. The location was great and was a short ride to the canal. There is a boat ramp down the road that’s 25 in and 25 out. No complaints. Would definitely recommend.
