About this property

Oceanside, pet friendly, smart home with plenty of paddle equipment

Why rent paddle equipment when our vacation rental includes multiple standup paddle-boards (SUPs), kayaks, Canoes, life vests, and paddles. We are constantly updating our paddling gear so check back often. We recently moved a canoe from the other location to this row fleet.

The living room is spacious, and we have installed smart devices in the primary living area to make your stay more enjoyable. You can use Google assistant to check on the weather and even control how bright or dim the lights should be. We offer free high-speed internet and smart TVs in every room.

The kitchen has lovely appliances, and we recently installed a new microwave and air fryer for those looking for healthier alternatives. There's even a freezer outside that can be used for bait and your fresh catch. We offer both a traditional coffee machine and a Keurig K-Compact for those seeking something different ( feel free to bring your favorite flavors).

Oceanside and Gulf side boating await for those interested in exploring the Keys. If you hire a guide, you can explore offshore beaches on the Gulf side that we consider comparable or better than many of the beaches on Dr. Beach's list. Every once in awhile a seaplane will take someone to these beaches because the locations are just so wonderful (see the video someone posted about Marvin Key which is in the backcountry).

We are really working hard on our BBQ and grilling capabilities. We acquired a Weber grill.

Looe Key Reef is an easy trip by boat or charter. The home itself is has a great screened in area that overlooks the swimming canal. Great place to have a cup of coffee in the morning or night. Inside you’ll find a warm, comfortable home that’s completely furnished and ready to go. There is plenty of parking, so you do not have to pay to store your trailer somewhere else.

For relaxation purposes, we have installed wall-mounted 4K Ultra high-definition TVs with Chromecast built-in. These TVs are smartly connected to the wifi provided by AT&T fiber. Netflix, AT&T, and Disney+ are available. Of course, all trademarks and content belong to Google, Disney, AT&T, ESPN, and Netflix.

Smart Home:
Just ask Google a question, "Hey Google, what's the weather outlook." Or, "Hey Google, play some inspirational music on 'inside'." You may also control the temperature, "Hey Google, set the temperature to 76 degrees on all devices" - there are three devices.

It's also useful to have Google call local services for you. For example, "Hey Google, call Cudjoe Gardens marina."

Since Google controls the living room lights you can always say things like, "Hey Google dim the lights" or "Hey Google, turn the lights to blue."

Keywords: Waterfront, Dock (80 foot of dockage on a deep canal), Oceanside, no bridge, very near Key West. Kayaks).

This home only rents with a minimum of 28 days. Sorry, there are no weekly rentals allowed.

Perfect Location!!
The house is as described in the listing. The host was very responsive when we had a minor issue when we arrived. There are both pros and cons to the home. Pros: Location - the house is located in a nice development. Very quiet, all neighbors were very friendly. With Key West 20 miles south and shopping about 8 miles north. Very convenient location. The dock is very nice, with ample cleats to secure your boat. A boat ramp (small fee to use) is very close by. The WIFI in the house is very good, no issues and more than ample speed. The outside furniture is very comfortable. The TV’s in each room were good The layout of the house is very nice, with an open floor plan in the living area Con’s: The house is clearly a rental property, not someone’s home that is also a rental. The house definitely needs some general maintenance and tender loving care. The cleaning crew did a just ok job. I would not say the house was dirty, but it definitely wasn’t guest ready clean.

Very enjoyable stay
A retired couple and a sheltie stayed here for a month.The property is spacious, clean and well stocked. Everything worked well and if not, was fixed or replaced asap.The owner, Kris, is friendly and communicative. Lots of options for TV programming which could be overwhelming for someone who is not familiar with HDMI options. The provided kayak having a seat with a real backrest is comfortable and fun to paddle along the canals.

About the host

Hosted by Naja Murphy

Host profile image
Avid outdoors person that like solitude. Othe hobbies are reading and education.

Why they chose this property

I chose this location because the water clarity is just so wonderful and the canal is considered a swimming canal. My husband would tell you that the number one reason was the direct ocean access.

What makes this property unique

When I don't catch my own there are plenty of fine places to eat fresh fish.
There is a public ramp vey close to the home. The home is 21 miles away from Key West.
Close to Key West but with the peace and tranquility of the gardens.
