Oceanside home, dock,kayaks,bikes,pool,fishing,109

This luxurious home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is part of Sunrise Beach Resort, an exclusive gated community built in 2007 with only 10 other homes. This is #109 and I also rent adjacent homes 111 and 107 in case you need more than one. We are 80 feet from the water's edge facing Southwest. Lounge in your private hammock or enjoy the gorgeous tropical landscaping and cool breezes on the balconies or poolside, where you can sun, fish or boat from the docks. Key West is 17 miles away.

This casually elegant home has:
* high ceilings with crown molding and four ceiling fans.
* hardwood floors and impact windows and doors.
* a gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertops.
* two master suites with king beds and full private baths.
* a sleeper sofa in living room downstairs with a third full bathroom.
* 3 flat screen HDTV’s with cable and WIFI.
* covered parking for 2 vehicles.
* free offsite storage for your trailer as they may not be stored onsite.
* walk in closet and luxury king beds and furniture.
* cooler, beach toys, fishing poles, kayaks, bicycles, and paddleboards.

This is the perfect vacation home for families or couples looking for relaxing ambiance in tropical setting. And for those who want it all – history, nightlife, beach, pool, boat dock, kayaks and views.

This is a stand-alone home just for you with breathtaking southwest views of the blue-green ocean and sunsets, private bbq and outdoor seating/dining.

Your boat, up to 25 feet, can be kept at the dock for your entire stay in the calm waters directly behind the house. I pay for you to store your trailer off-site.

Gated Community of 11 homes, which are all used exclusively as vacation rentals.

While there are infrequent buses to Key West to South and Marathon Key to North, a car is highly recommended.

Looe Key and American Shoal Reef can be seen from the house where you’ll find the most beautiful snorkeling and diving reefs in the keys along with excellent fishing. Fish or kayak right off the dock or you can venture out to experience the history and action in Key West located only 17 miles away. In the immediate area you’ll find several very good fine dining and casual restaurants, grocery, liquor store, and Cudjoe Garden’s Marina, a full-service marina offering boat rentals. The only 18-hole miniature golf course in the keys is located 15 minutes away. Bahia Honda State Park and the Dolphin Research Center, which offers dolphin encounters, are other area attractions 30 to 60 minutes away

Great Family Spot
My family of five (kids aged 9, 12, 13) had a great time! The girls split one king bed + an air mattress. We loved the location, as well as the paddleboards and kayaks. We visited both Key West and Marathon and enjoyed being in between the two. Great communication, comfy beds, super clean, highly recommend!

Best of Both Worlds
I was a little concerned when I initially reserved this property. My husband and I were traveling with 3, 15 year-old boys and I was concerned the boys would prefer to stay directly in Key West with all of the more touristy activities and find Cudjoe Key and this property boring after a few days, but surprisingly I was wrong! The boys absolutely loved it! They thoroughly enjoyed all of the amenities this property offered. They took advantage of using the fishing poles, bikes, kayaks and pool. It was nice to see them enjoy being kids and not captive to their electronic devices!! Most of the neighboring properties were occupied but we had no issues with any of the other renters. The units are extremely close to one another so one may feel as though they don’t have a lot of privacy especially when enjoying the outdoor space each unit offers but again this wasn’t a bother to us. The unit is exactly as displayed in the pics and offered working appliances that we benefited from. Cudjoe Key is a more relaxed environment with a seemingly smaller population than Key West but a close 20 minute drive that allows you to visit as often as you’d like. This really is the best of both worlds and satisfied all of us. We will definitely look to stay here if we visit the Florida Keys again.

Perfect as usual
This is the second time we have stayed in this gated community at one of Johns properties. Once again, it did not disappoint. You are on the water with plenty availability for kids to swim or fish. The chairs along the pool and waters edge are so comfortable. There is even an added bench at the far end of the dock, perfect for watching sunsets. The house is your own. 2 floors. Plenty of space. The beds are super comfortable with an array of pillows, hard and soft, for whatever you like. Extra linens, beach towels, anything you could need in the kitchen. We enjoyed using the kyacks but there are bikes for use also. The underside of the house has a cool relaxing seating area with table and gas grill. We used these often. The houses that John owns in this gated community are also unique in that they have stained glass windows and none of the other homes have that. Very beautiful. Highly recommend this property and owner. You wont be sorry. We also explored Bahai Honda State Park, 20 minutes from the property and spent 2 different days going into Key West, one of which was to go to Ft. Jefferson on Yankee Freedom. You are 30 minutes from Key West as well, but not in all the crazy.

Florida Keys Vacation
Our family thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay at this property. John, the host, provided great resources and advice prior to our drive from Ft. Lauderdale to the house. We dipped in the pool every day, used the kayaks - very easy access, dined at several recommended restaurants, absolutely LOVED Looe Key Resort for the snorkel tour, and enjoyed Bahia Honda’s Sandspur Beach twice (easy to rent beach chairs!) We adventured to Key West one day and sadly missed the Florida Eco-Discovery Center (open Wed-Sat only), but caught the sunset from Mallory Square. There is nothing missing from this property. Its location, cleanliness, pool/amenities, and being so well stocked were excellent. We highly recommend, and thank you so much John for sharing your gem!

Perfection!
We had a fantastic stay on Cudjoe Key! The house was beautiful and very clean, and the amenities were great. We loved having the pool and the little beach for the kids, as well as the bikes and water toys. The kitchen was very well equipped for a rental property, which allowed us to have a lot of meals at home. The location was perfect, too. We felt super close to Key West and activities on other islands, but had a quiet home to retreat to when needed. The grill and fire table under the house were great, and the sunsets on the dock were amazing! We had one very minor problem during our stay, and the owner was so responsive and helpful. He had a solution for us in minutes. We will definitely be staying here again!

The Sweet Key Life
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Sparkling clean, comfortable & cozy with spectacular views. Close to everything you could need or want. Easy drive to Key West and grocery stores. Great restaurants are nearby. We took the owner, John's, recommendations on a couple of places and Kiki's Sandbar was the absolute best! Owner provided enough trash bags, hand/dish soap & laundry detergent to last an entire week. This was unusual & very much appreciated. The entire resort felt very secure. My only caution is beware there are many steps if they are an issue for anyone in your party. I HIGHLY recommend this property for an amazing vacation in the Keys!

Great quiet location
Took our 21 foot boat, 1/2 mile from boat launch. Put in early to store trailer there. The second option is just up the road and has plenty of storage. Boat docks are nice. Very shallow coming and going depending on tide. Dock area is quite deep. Rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. Very close to key west. Great additional items at location to enjoy exploring (kayaks and SUP). Good fishing all around. Not sure I would recommend the square grouper maybe bad day for them but food was not good and staff were very rude. The 420 lounge above it was much better but adults only. Going north from Vrbo about five miles on left side is a tiki bar that had great food and many locals and music. All in all we had a wonderful stay and will be back
