About this house rental
Bring your boat to this 3 bedroom / 3 bath recently updated home with 50 ft of deep water dockage and a custom HEATED swimming pool (small pool is not heated). House will comfortably sleep 8 with 1 king bed, 2 queens and two sleeper sofas. Each bedroom has it's own private attached bathroom. You will love waking up or relaxing on the water as the only thing that separates the house from the water is the dock. Master suite has been completely updated with new tile, finishes and standing tub. Boot Key harbor is only 3 houses down the canal. The home is very peaceful and has very private tropical spa like pool in the front with a beautiful flagstone wall. You will instantly feel on vacation as you sit by the pool, kayak or paddle board in the harbor, fish in the canal, go for a bike ride, or take the short 3.5 mile drive to Sombrero beach. We are also minutes from 7 mile bridge if you want to visit Bahia Honda park or take the short 45-50 minute drive to Key West. Sorry no RV parking but plenty of space for a trailer, truck and a mini-van. There are no bridges and no limits to open water based on low tide. Added bonus we have never had a build up of sea grass anywhere near the house since 2011!
I only accept Saturday to Saturday stays - Thank you!
Please call or e-mail me if you have additional questions. (I usually respond within the hour). Please notice the water outside of the sliding glass doors in both the family room and the bedroom. You are literally right on the water! We catch jacks, mangrove snappers, chubs, barracudas and grunts off the dock for a quick lunch and the pelicans and herons always join you when you are cleaning fish on the fish cleaning station. There is a fishing kayak, a ocean kayak, a 2 man ocean kayak, 2 paddle boards and 4 bicycles included with the rental. The heated spa like pool located in the front of the house is awesome with a bench running the length of it and a separate smaller pool that is great if you want to get away from the splashing kids. All new furniture, AC unit downstairs.
Saturday to Saturday rentals only from January - August. Please email me if you are looking for alternative dates in September through December.
15 years on VRBO so rent with confidence.

Kids had an absolute blast using paddle boards and kayaks! Easy accessibility to ocean for our boat. Stories and restaurants close. The house was perfect for our large group. Owner was top notch with communication. We will definitely book next year

We loved this house on a canal near seven mile bridge. It was easy to navigate out to the Atlantic Ocean. There were plenty of places to refuel and buy last minute snacks.

We had a great experience. Make sure to bring your toiletries and some small cleaning supplies. When we arrived we did not have any dish soap, garbage bags, or detergent.
6 / 10Average·May 2025
Had a great time, but was disappointed with the condition of the property. The bathrooms were obviously remodeled within the last few years. All were very nice. The rest of the house is in desperate need of some attention and cleaning. The furniture was very dirty and stained, The large cream colored sofa in the main living room was dirty and several cushions had large holes in them. We found the mattresses in all of the bedrooms to be very uncomfortable. We removed our sheets to wash them and all of the pillows were yellowed and stained. One pillow was so dirty, we washed it in the washing machine during our stay.Many of the windows were missing blinds. The brackets were attached to the wall, but the actual blinds were missing. Sliding doors that backed up to the canal had no curtains or blinds on them. We had family members that slept on the sofa bed in the room. They had ZERO privacy. During the afternoon when the sun was at its hottest, the temperature in the room became unbearable because of the direct sunlight.The pool and filter area was in poor condition. There were several broken tiles all around the pool. The lights inside the pool were not functioning. The pool caretaker came twice during our stay and only cleaned the bottom of the pool once. The skimmer on the filtration system was not working, so the top of the water had insects and dirt floating on top. There was no mesh skimmer on the property for us to clean it ourselves.
