About this property

Boat, Fish, Swim from Your Own 70' Dock!

Come Play! Your 70-foot private dock provides instant access to fun – whether boating, fishing, swimming or relaxing under the shady, palm-roof “Chickee.” Enjoy your privacy with independent upstairs/downstairs units - friends, family, or guests will appreciate the extra bed, bath, living room and refrigerator downstairs.
The Dock: Have your boats or yacht waiting just outside your door. Large, deep-draft sailboats or yachts are easily accommodated with a waterway 20 ft deep and 100 foot wide. Even tall vessels travel quickly between the Ocean and Florida Bay using the drawbridge just 1000 yards from the dock. With gas, bait, and tackle shops located before the bridge, your convenience is assured.
*****Love Fishing?***** Enjoy casting right from the dock for yellow tail, red snapper or grouper. Cast-offshore for sport fishing in the Gulf Stream. The world famous “hump,” an underwater mountain just 11 miles from the dock, has made Islamorada fishing world famous; catch marlin, sailfish, black-fin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo and many more ocean treasures.

Or just as easily, go backcountry fishing in Florida Bay and catch speckled trout or tarpon. A fish cleaning station at the end of the dock lets you clean your catch whenever your reeling arm is rested and ready.

*****Love Swimming, Snorkeling or Diving?***** Enjoy endless swimming right from the dock where the water is clean and refreshing, and the beverages are never far away. Living reefs and sunken wrecks are easily enjoyed by everyone, just three miles from the dock in 3-15 ft of water. Enjoy colorful tropical fish, coral rock formations and sea fans. Certified divers will enjoy the drop-off just five miles out, where the 20-30 foot reefs transition to 60+ feet, and sea life changes. And the world famous Islamorada Sandbar is just a 10 minute boat ride away for the daily water social.

The House: We only rent the house to one party at a time – so the upstairs and downstairs units are yours! Upstairs has Two Bedrooms, with a king size bed in the Master, a queen in the other guest suite, and a queen size sofabed in the living room There is one Bathroom upstairs and one downstairs. Downstairs has one Bedroom with a king size bed and a queen size sofa bed. Enjoy the convenience of a first floor bathroom, and refrigerator, sink and Microwave – perfect for those lazy outside days!

Ensure everyone's comfort with separate air conditioning systems for the upstairs and downstairs. You’ll find all of the conveniences you expect – comfortable accommodations, fresh linens, plenty of kitchen utensils, laundry machines, and a gas barbeque grill.

You will also find some unique conveniences, like plenty of room to park your boat trailer, extra dock capacity next door, an open lot next door for unobstructed breezes, a shaded palm-roof “chickee”, and private fish cleaning station. There are hanging chairs and a plush hammock for enjoying the outdoor experience... In all, there is room to stretch out and relax without being crowded by others.

Founders Park is 3000 feet from the house: an easy walk or drive, where you can enter free with your rental contract and enjoy the beach, walking paths, and family playgrounds. They provide small-fee access to swimming in the Olympic size pool - complete with diving boards, lap-lanes, and a separate splashpad for kids. Founders park is convenient for launching/loading boats at the boat ramp for nominal fees ($3/person pool, $20/ launch or loading boats). Larger boats are recommended to put in at the Harry Harris boat Ramp at mile marker 92.5 - just 6.5 miles from your rental & dock for the week.

Come and stay. Upstairs or down– this is a great place to play.

Checks all the boxes
#1 (A) CLEAN (B) LOCATION : Only a couple hour drive south from Ft. Lauderdale airport Short navigation thru canal that leads to river to access ocean or bay. The dock is so convenient to keep boat for easy access. Neighborhood is very quiet and safe. Owners live next door (empty lot in between) and are very friendly/sweet but not intrusive. Handy to ask for advice/recommendations, or a cup of sugar! Short drive to grocery, pharmacy, all kinds of great restaurants, nice little town beach, interesting stores to find memorabilia, gifts, apparel #2 Comfortable/ modern convenience Bathrooms well designed for places to hang towels, store personal items/toiletries Kitchen equipped with pots, pans, baking sheets, blender, mixer, variety of utensils. Modern oven, fridge (ice maker) and dishwasher Bedrooms have plenty of closet space, comfortable beds/linens, nicely decorated. Ceiling Fans and blinds in all windows. Screened patio was sooooo nice to open sliding door and let the fresh air in Living spaces with dining table, couches and chairs that are in great condition (not worn out) Outside: plenty of parking space, gas grill and charcoal bbq, hammock, lounge chairs, Adirondack chairs and hanging swings, patio table. Lots of choices for hanging out to sunbathe, cocktails, etc. The laundry is a very modern washer and dryer stacked in an alcove off the carport. Large capacity and work excellent

Perfect Christmas trip for a fishing family
We decided to do a trip instead of gifts this year, and it was a successful experiment! We had four of our five children (twin 19 year old boys, 9 yo girl, 8 yo boy) along with my husband and myself. The divided “apartments” worked perfectly for our age-diverse family, and the location was not only great for fishing and a rented boat, but very centralized for checking out local attractions and lots of great restaurants. The twins even got around of golf in! It was our first trip to the Keys and we (every one of us) thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim was very helpful and we enjoyed Norm’s stories!
