About this property

Luxurious Oceanfront Home on Beach, Dock, Heat/Cool Pool, FirePit, Kayaks, Bikes

This luxurious Cudjoe Key vacation rental home, located directly on a sandy beach overlooking the crystalline Atlantic Ocean, is part of Sunrise Beach Resort, an exclusive gated community with only 10 other homes. In addition to high end furnishings in the living area, it features two tastefully decorated master suites, each with a full private marble bathroom. You can soak up the sun on the beach, on the pool deck, or enjoy the shade under the tiki hut by the sparkling, heated/cooled swimming pool located directly beside the house, also overlooking the ocean. Lounge in your private hammock or enjoy a drink in the double swing underneath our home which overlooks the beach. Or, you can soak in the gorgeous tropical landscaping and cool breezes on the comfortable, luxurious furniture located on the home’s deep shaded lanai, which includes a fire pit and a flat screen TV adjacent to the beach. Breathtaking views of the blue green ocean, Cudjoe Bay, and the sunrise and sunset can be seen from every room and from the two decks accessible from both bedrooms, the dining room and the living room.

If you are looking for a lower keys short or long term rental, Cudjoe Key has a reputation as the best place to stay on the water in the keys. Your boat, up to 24 feet, can be kept at the wood dock or floating docks in the calm waters directly behind our house. Looe Key and American Shoal Reef can be seen from the house where you’ll find the most beautiful snorkeling and diving reef in the keys, along with the best fishing. Their off-the-beaten path location guarantees a thriving ecosystem. You can fish right off the end of the dock or snorkel or kayak the crystal clear, calm waters in Cudjoe Bay directly behind our house (kayaks are included). Venture out to experience the history and action in Key West located only 20 miles away, or explore dozens of nearby islands and a trove of nature preserves by land or sea. Ours is the perfect Cudjoe Key vacation house rental located near Big Pine Key, Summerland Key, Sugarloaf Key and Key West, Fl.

In the immediate area you’ll find several good restaurants. For example, you can take your boat or catch a free ferry to Little Palm Island where you can enjoy lunch or dinner at a top ranked best restaurant in the world. Several other excellent restaurants in the keys are located on or close to Cudjoe Key. A gym/wellness center and Cudjoe Garden’s Marina, a full service marina offering boat rentals, as well as fishing, snorkel, and dive trips is only one mile from our home. The only 18 hole miniature golf course in the keys is located five miles away. Pack a lunch and spend the day at Bahai Honda State Park, voted the #1 beach in the U.S., which is only a 20 minute drive away. The Dolphin Research Center, which offers dolphin encounters, is another area attraction.

We provide bikes, kayaks, a corn hole game, folding beach chairs, a beach umbrella, beach toys and towels, bocce ball, and a cooler for your enjoyment. We are always adding extra "toys" and oftentimes have a clear see-through kayak and stand up paddle boards available as well. The bikes are available for you to enjoy a leisurely bike ride down the scenic tree lined bike path, accessible directly across the street from Sunrise Beach, which traverses Cudjoe Key and continues all the way to Key West. Cudjoe Bay is the perfect calm place to kayak and enjoy the clear water. There is something for those who want to relax and enjoy the views and as well as for those who wish to explore all the keys have to offer!

Simply Amazing!
This is by far the best VRBO home I have stayed at. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this beautiful place. The views are amazing, the extra’s (kayaks, stand up paddle board, fishing gear) and the location of the home made this such a perfect vacation for us. The home owners provide you with a wonderful book that provides all of their favorite things to do and places to eat. That was our playbook for the week, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful place!!!

Tons of extras
This home was well stocked with all the extras we usually have to purchase when staying at a rental. The home was set up perfectly for 2 couples. The week we were here happened to be spring break but was very quiet. We had the pool to ourselves most of the time. Check in/out was clearly explained, had no issues. Cudjoe Key was perfectly located between Key West and Marathon for days we chose to go exploring. The book created at the home was amazing! It had tips and recommendations for everything from charters, public transportation and restaurants. We hopped on the bus one day to Key West (pick up is literally 100 ft out the gate) and cost under $10/couple. We chose to Uber back later that evening and was only $70. Overall, very happy choosing this home for our trip.

Florida Keys 2024
We finally took the plunge and stayed in the Keys for 30 days. The accommodations at Sunrise Beach Resort were awesome. The unit had everything you could need for a great vacation. We met some great folks while there for the month. We would highly recommend this and the owner was great.

Low Key is right!
Great location - we love Cudjoe Key! Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We really enjoyed and used the bikes and kayaks provided - great fun! The house is charmingly decorated, light and sunny, and very well stocked with all basic supplies. And we loved all the different places to sit and enjoy the fresh air and views - the balconies, the carport, the dock…. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Rick Von Harten

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Beaufort S.C., and graduated from Clemson University prior to obtaining my MBA and starting my own business. My wife Barbara was principal of The Sanibel School on Sanibel Island for 18 years prior to retiring after 38 years in education. Married for 41 years, we live in Fort Myers, FL where we raised our 3 children. We fondly recall our first trip to the keys 40 years ago when we slept in a tent! We fell in love with the keys during that trip. After exploring many islands in the Caribbean throughout the years, we came to realize that if you know where to go in the keys, they are magical, and what they have to offer is unsurpassed compared to other island we have ever visited.

Why they chose this property

After years of exploring and vacationing throughout the Florida keys, my wife and I decided to purchase a vacation home on Cudjoe Key. We love this area of the keys with the best fishing and diving, and its proximity to excellent restaurants, yet it is not far from the excitement of Key West. It is difficult to find a location directly on the water, where you can keep your boat or fish from the dock directly behind the house, swim in the pool located next to the house, or kayak in the calm waters in the bay directly behind the house. We have found just that perfect location! We promise you will love the ocean views from every room in our home!

What makes this property unique

Furnishing our home with luxurious amenities is our passion and we hope you feel right at home with everything you could possibly need. Extra touches mean a lot when you are on vacation and we have tried to think of everything that will make you feel like you are staying in a 5 star resort. A leather sofa, comfortable beds, luxury linens, makeup mirrors, spices and condiments, beach towels, ice chest, beach umbrella, fishing gear, snorkel equipment, bikes, kayaks, hammock, swing, decks, fire pit, etc. all await you!
