10/10
The house is in an beautiful location, the private ocean pool is fantastic! A multitude of fish in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors can be seen snorkeling there and beyond the rock wall is very easy to wade and explore. It was a gorgeous, peaceful spot to relax, soak in the sun and listen to the waves! The key itself is quiet, with few people to disturb you, but the Reef House is just 2 doors down if you want to socialize.
Fran, the local property manager, is AMAZING!
Some parts of the house are a bit more worn than than in the photos- finish worn off the dock, broken arm on the dock bench and sprung step up to the house. But the ocean and strong sun is rather hard on things, so upkeep is probably a challenge. Older style coil spring mattress that is firm- A foam mattress topper might be a nice addition, but that may not hold up well in the heat (A/C is just in the bedrooms, and typically just run at night, or if we were napping during the day).
As with any off the beaten path location, planning ahead is important. Speaking Spanish would be helpful- house is on the cay/key separate from the main island, so transportation is big element- need a water taxi to get anywhere and then a car taxi to move around the island. A couple restaurants accessible by water taxi to Jonesville. Oak Ridge is about an hour from most activities and larger grocery stores. Kitchen is pretty well equipped, gas stove with a outdoor grill- would have been nice to have a baking sheet.
