The property is conveniently located for a variety of activities. If you enjoy a plethora of dining choices and night, Key West is an easy 25 mile drive away. One of the only miniature golf courses on the Keys is less than 5 minutes away by car. Winn-Dixie is the nearest grocery located on Big Pine Key and about a 6-7 minute drive away.If you are a nature lover , we spotted Key deer, turtles and a variety of birds walking or ambling, or flying right across the street from the house. Casa Gecko is appropriately named as you will no doubt spot several on the property while you are there. The hot tub located on the screened porch was most welcome in the evening, especially on the occasional cooler and breezy nights in February. The swimming pool is well maintained by a pool service weekly. Although it is not heated, it does get direct sun much of the day and the water heated nicely especially after several days of sun and 80+ degree days. The kitchen is well equipped with a variety of appliances some of which were unexpected like an air fryer. We found only 3 things lacking that we missed. They were : a measuring cup ( we went out and bought one for ourselves to take home), a small hand mixer or old- fashioned potato masher, and a 9 x 13 inch Pyrex baking dish. Otherwise , everything needed for meal preparation was readily available. The furniture is comfortable and there were plenty of linens and towels. Excess bedding was stored on the bedroom closet shelves or on the floor in plastic containers. Perhaps a blanket chest located under the blue painting in the hall leading to the bedrooms might avoid the necessity for taking up valuable closet space. The smallest bedroom lacked a chest of drawers resulting in a month's worth of socks , underwear, and miscellaneous iems needed to be stored on the two open nightstands or the shelf below each one. If the excess linen was removed from the closet , a small chest of drawers comparable to what was found in the other two bedrooms could easily fit inside that bedroom closet and still leave room for hanging garments. There is a wonderful dock in back of the property perfect for anchoring your small sport fishing boat should you wish to rent one or bring your own with easy access to launch your boat only a few yards away. This vacation home is pet friendly making it perfect for those who can not bear to part from their fur babies for a minimum of 28 days. I would rent again without hesitation.
