About this property

Elevated Retreat | Sunset Access + Boat Basin

  • Summary:

    Elevated, thoughtfully updated retreat in the heart of Islamorada with rare access to a private boat basin and fishing jetty—perfect for sunset views and relaxing by the water. Set above the trees for a more open, airy feel, yet tucked into a peaceful setting. Enjoy walkable access to restaurants, shops, and breweries, plus fast WiFi and everything needed for a comfortable Keys getaway 🌴



    The Space:

    ● 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms (620 sq ft)

    ● Primary: King bed + en suite bathroom

    ● Guest room: King bed + separate bathroom

    ● Open living area + small kitchen

    ● Second-floor setting with a more open, airy feel

    ● Courtyard-facing (quiet, tucked-away setting)

    ● Shared external laundry room



    Note: no closets or dressers—luggage racks and hanging space provided



    This retreat is part of a unique, private, wooded waterfront property spanning the bay side of the Florida Keys. While the space does not have direct water views, guests have full access to the property, including a boat basin and fishing jetty just a short walk away—perfect for sunsets and relaxing by the water.



    Guest Access:

    Guests have full access to the entire space, as well as the shared property grounds. This includes the boat basin, fishing jetty, and waterfront areas—perfect for relaxing and enjoying sunset views.



    The courtyard and outdoor areas are shared with the downstairs space. A shared laundry area is also available on-site.



    Parking is available on-site for your convenience. Self check-in is provided via a keypad for a smooth and flexible arrival.



    The Neighborhood:

    Located at Mile Marker 82.5 in the heart of Islamorada, this home is in one of the more walkable areas in the Upper Keys. You’re just steps from local shops and a short walk to popular restaurants, bars, and the well-known Islamorada Beer Company.



    Despite being close to everything, the property itself is tucked away in a quiet, wooded setting—offering a more relaxed and private feel than most nearby stays.



    A detailed guestbook is provided with our favorite recommendations for dining, drinks, and local activities.



    Getting Around:

    While this area of Islamorada is more walkable than most in the Keys, we recommend having a vehicle to fully explore nearby attractions, beaches, and surrounding areas.



    For shorter trips, many restaurants, shops, and local spots—including Islamorada Beer Company—are within walking distance. Biking is also a great option, and rentals are available nearby.
