This tastefully furnished property features a host of amenities including kayaks, 17 foot center console boat, fish cleaning station, sunken jetted tub to name a few. Whether you are here to snorkel, fish, swim or boat, or just relax, you have found the perfect destination. Enjoy the panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico extending from every room of this conch island home. Exposed wooden beams adorn the living room's cathedral ceiling, complementing the home's tile floors. (Please see the video below.)
French doors lead from the great room to a screened front porch and to a covered deck. Our fully equipped kitchen is complete with a breakfast bar for your dining pleasure. Should you choose to cook and dine on one of your decks, you can also make use of the outdoor gas grill. The master suite features a sunken Jacuzzi tub with 2 sided ocean view shower - the perfect way to start or end a day in paradise! All utilities (electricity and fresh water) are piped underwater from the mainland, supplying all the comforts of home in this secluded tropical paradise. This rental includes a 17 foot, center console, power boat exclusively yours for the entire week.
Landscaped boardwalks surround the home for leisurely strolls around the island. This ancient fossilized exposed reef features native vegetation of silver buttonwood, black mangroves, sea grapes, and pitch apples which attract a vast variety of migrating and resident bird life. The crystal clear warm waters around this truly unique Keys location are frequented by a variety of wildlife including visiting dolphins, manatees, parrots, iguanas and angelfish, roosting pelicans and great herons to name a few.
We recommend you reserve early as the islands tend to fill up quickly.

Before you book
What does this property cost?
The owner publishes a starting rate of $5,314 per week, with a minimum stay of one week. Rates move with the season and the length of stay, so call and we will price your exact dates.
Can I book this home online?
No, and that is deliberate. Emerald Kite books by phone so that a specialist who knows The Florida Keys can confirm what is genuinely available on your dates and check the home suits your group before anything is committed.
Who looks after the property during our stay?
An established local management company. It is responsible for cleaning, maintenance and guest support while you are there, and your Emerald Kite agent stays reachable for the duration of the stay.
Can we bring a dog?
This home accepts dogs. Confirm the type and size limits, and any pet deposit, with your agent at the start of the selection process rather than after booking.
When can we check in?
Check-in and checkout times vary by property. Your Villa Specialist will confirm both times, along with the arrival instructions, for this home before your stay.
