Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Situated right on the waterfront, this quintessential Florida Keys home offers direct access to the bay, perfect for fishing or kayaking trips – but any guests sticking to dry land will enjoy a whale of a time, too. The expansive garden has plenty of spots to chill with a drink (including a poolside tiki bar), as well as a full beach volleyball court and corn hole for fun-filled afternoons in the sun. Glass surrounds the two living spaces, so you won't miss out on the tropical views while cooking and dining together. This private haven is spectacular enough that you might not want to leave – but a short drive will bring you to the unique sights and restaurants of Islamorada.
