This rental was everything advertised and more!
The sun had gone down by the time we arrived on our first night and so we did not get to fully appreciate the house until the next morning. We settled in and unpacked our groceries and bags and went to bed early and slept soundly. We awoke the next morning refreshed and ready to take in the community of Key Colony. But first, we had to check out the canal and back porch area! Beautifully decorated and very inviting this area will bring your group together. We rented a boat for the week and the canal is deep and wide. The house had plenty of room for our 21 foot rental.
We hopped on the bikes and rode around the community to investigate what we had to look forward to during our week. We found the Cabana Club very easily. But since it did not open at 10:00 am, we rode on and continued our tour. We found sunset park, basketball courts, big beautiful homes, and finally the pickleball courts. Which we spent a lot of time on during our stay. We eventually found our way back to the Cabana club and spent the rest of the day relaxing by the beach and pool. This area is a definite plus. Not fancy and very much our speed. A gorgeous piece of property on the beach with a large beautiful pool. Drinks are reasonably priced and the staff is friendly. Just make sure to follow the instructions on checking in each day!
We ate out at a few local restaurants. All were very good. Island Fish Company, Sparky's Landing, and Havana Jacks. We ate in a bunch too and found the house very well equipped with all our needs to cook.
I have rented many VRBO's over the years and this was probably the best-equipped kitchen for cooking needs.
Cleanliness. Wow! This is the cleanest rental I have come across. Holli, the property manager was available to us but we needed not a thing.
We grilled one night using the outdoor grill. On that same night, a manatee family visited the canal: two adults and a juvenile, A highlight of our trip since none of us had ever seen a manatee before! So exciting!
Fishing was challenging on the boat as we visited during a time when a cold front came through and strong winds prevented us from going out very far. But we still had some good days and caught many fish! Coco's boat rental on Coco Plum Drive was great! They provided us with a great rental and very useful information on the area. Michelle has a special touch. You will feel at home during your stay. I promise you will not be disappointed!
