Enjoy this 3 bedroom, 2 bath Atlantic side canal home with an 80' dock and quick ocean access! Amenities include fish cleaning station at the dock, a bait freezer, pool with a tanning ledge. Catch a show in the outdoor TV while relaxing in the hot tub!
Our waterfront, single-family home, affectionately named “Turtle Cove” is a tastefully furnished Florida Keys home and located on a quiet side street, in a residential neighborhood on the Atlantic side of the Island, just 5 houses from open water.
The open living and dining room space is great for gathering with plenty of seating for everyone … a great environment to sit back, relax, and talk about your daily and upcoming adventures!
Being just a short distance from the Atlantic, you’ll be diving, snorkeling, or have your lines in the water in no time! If you don’t have a boat of your own, there are plenty of rental/guide services in the area. We have one (1) two (2) person kayak for guest use. When you aren’t out enjoying our beautiful Atlantic Ocean or your private pool and hot tub, you’ll enjoy a host of other entertainment options…...you will be minutes from Sombrero, Key Colony and Coco Plum Beaches, the Turtle Hospital, Crane Museum and just a short drive to the Dolphin Research Center or Aquarium where you will learn about the wonderful sea life in the area.
In case you can’t get to the outdoors or to our sites or are winding down in the evenings, we have a large screen TV with a DVD player to watch movies and have a few games and puzzles if that is your thing.
There are so many great restaurants to try in the area, it will be hard to pick a night to stay in and cook on your own. But if you do, you’ll find that our kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials. You’ll appreciate the stainless steel appliances and granite countertops with plenty of room to prep! Of course, we provide standards: A coffee pot, Keurig, toaster, blender, and plenty of serving dishes.
Upstairs has two bedrooms: One canal side with a king bed, TV and sliding glass doors to access the outside; the second has a queen bed. Our lower level, which is accessible from the outside, has a full and twin beds, a seating area with a TV and a little serving station with a microwave and small refrigerator to hold some essentials.
Our outdoor living area provides a gas grill and even a bait freezer for your convenience. Additionally, the dock has a cleaning station, electricity, and water. Again, one 2-person kayak for your use.
We have such a great property to offer. Hopefully, the description answers all your questions but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or special requests. We look forward to hosting you your family and guests in our home!
NOTE: If we are offering a special last minute rate/promotion, it is for last minute specials ONLY, we do not apply the special rates to advance bookings made when the special was not offered.
We ask for a Saturday to Saturday bookings from mid-February to the first week of April; all of June, July, and mid-August. We sometimes have some flexibility to book different dates during the offseason but only if we are within a couple weeks of the dates.
Boat size: No more than 30' recommended for our canal. We have guests currently booked that have concerns about the depth of the canal coming in so I'm providing more information to help future guests - Past guests with a 30' boat only had issues during king tides at low tide ONLY. If you are an experienced boater, you can get in and out of our canal without a problem. Please reach out before booking if you have questions or concerns so we can provide more details if you require them.
Pets: We prefer smaller dogs, not too hairy - please send us a note first to confirm your pet is okay to stay. It's an extra $25/day (plus tax) for each pet. VRBO should ask you to put in the number of pets and charge accordingly but if their system doesn't pick it up, we'll add it on. If you are unsure, don’t add your pet in now, we will do it later when you decide. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.
Occupancy: Rates are based on the standard occupancy, which is 6. You may have up to 8 guests by Monroe County's Ordinance, but we charge additional occupancy fees of $150/week per person in this case. If you are unsure of your total, book with 6, then update us when you know. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.
Parking: The front of the house has a mostly gravel and concrete driveway. There is more than enough room for a few cars and a trailer or two. The photo of the front is not being accepted by VRBO for posting. In the meantime, please request it if you'd like to see the front.
