Absolutely the BEST!!!

We stay at a lot of VRBOs, but this one was exceptional! Not only was the house, the view, and the location, better than what we expected, the hosts were above and beyond amazing!!! We could not have asked for more. The only bad thing was that we had to leave and go back home and work again. We will definitely go back!!!

Quiet and Relaxing

With two bedrooms, the house is perfect for a quiet get-away for a couple with or without guests or a small family. Located on a private beach at the end of a dead-end road, it is a great place to walk a dog or bicycle without traffic. The home has both bicycles and kayaks available for use, and it was fun to explore the near-by islands by kayak. The whole back of the house is windows and the view is fantastic. We enjoyed watching the shore birds and the fishermen on the near-by flats with the telescopes provided and wading to fish ourselves was as close as the back door. It is a short 22 mile drive to the hustle and bustle of Key West and there are ample dining opportunities on other islands near-by, as well. A nice grocery store is available on Big Pine Key about 10 minutes away. The owners live across the canal from the house and they have always made us feel very welcome. We plan to return.

Great stay

We enjoyed our monthly stay at this rental. The view was fantastic and the house certainly met our needs. The owners provided us with kayaks which saved us several hundreds of dollars. Every appliance work! The locations presents itself well for bicycling which we did everyday. Also, we being on Summerland Key makes for a short trip to Key West or Big Pine.

You Can't Miss!

We had the perfect vacation with our two boys (20 and 21). The island is quiet enough that you have plenty of quality family time yet close enough to both Key West and Marathon to have outings to more activities. I can not say enough about the location. If you bring or rent a boat you can be at Looe Key Reef snorkeling without much delay. If you don,t have a boat there are many companies that will take you. The owners have a nice notebook that helps you feel at home on the island and directs you toward fun activities. The home was perfect for us. It was clean, well stocked and had items like kayaks and bikes to use. If you are thinking of visiting the Keys and two bedrooms suit your needs then you will love this home. It has a unbelievably beautiful view. The owners are honest, easy to work with and helpful. Enjoy!

The Perfect Vacation

This was our first trip to the Keys and our expectations were lofty to say the least. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in paradise. The owners, Bud & Grace were gracious and very knowledgeable of the area and gave us the perfect mix of privacy and attention when needed. The house is close enough to Key West to enjoy the entertainment and attractions and just far enough away for the peace and tranquility the rest of the Lower Keys have to offer. The views from the house are captivating. It is ideally located for diving snorkeling, and fishing. It had all the amenities you could want. Thanks in large part to the wonderful owners, we truly had the "trip of a lifetime" and definitely plan to return to the Key-Ver House.

About the host

Hosted by Grace and Bud

Bud and Grace have been married for over 37 years. We share the love of the ocean, environment, and watersports with each other, our 3 adult children, and their families. We are scuba divers and avid boaters. Our favorite vacation destination was the lower keys until we moved to Summerland, over 20 years ago. We specifically love Summerland Key, its open space, the neighborhood, and direct access to blue water so much that in 2013, we established the Key-ver beach house. The name 'Key-ver' is a play on our last name and is pronounced the same way. Whether by land, sea, or air, there are plenty of fun and unique excursions in the lower keys and the Key-ver beach house is a great home base. We look forward to sharing this vacation destination and the beauty of the southern end of Summerland Key with you.
We live across the canal from the Key-ver beach house and are available if you need anything during your stay.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location for a great vacation! Our oceanfront beach house is one of the very few homes that have an oceanfront beach and protected canal dockage with instant access to open water. The southern end of Summerland is a special place; its open space is filled with palm trees, tropical gardens, native plants, birds, and other wildlife that share the island with those fortunate enough to find and take the time to enjoy it. We hope that you will enjoy our beach house on Summerland Key and experience island living and all that the lower keys have to offer.
The Key-ver beach house has served boaters, fishermen, divers, enthusiastic bicyclers, and many people who just want to explore the keys. It is a great house in a very special location to do all that and more.

What makes this property unique

The views are truly where the sky meets the sea. The ocean view from the house is spectacular. The pictures do not do the ever-changing panoramic view justice. You will have to see it and enjoy it for yourself. Very few homes have oceanfront and protected canal access as this one does. Windy days bring out kiteboarders to Pye Key flats for your entertainment and dolphins swim by, near shore. The neighborhood is quiet, located a mile and a half from the overseas highway, off the beaten trail. Summerland Key is close enough to Key West to make daily or nightly trips, yet far enough away to enjoy the island breeze, watch the ever-changing ocean, and have a stellar view of the night sky. Please read the reviews of guests who watched dolphins and other wildlife from the comfort of our Key-ver beach house.
