Amazing - Don't miss this 3 BR/2BA with Pool, Hot Tub and 80' Dock Oceanside!

Enjoy this 3 bedroom, 2 bath Atlantic side canal home with an 80' dock and quick ocean access! Amenities include fish cleaning station at the dock, a bait freezer, pool with a tanning ledge. Catch a show in the outdoor TV while relaxing in the hot tub!

Our waterfront, single-family home, affectionately named “Turtle Cove” is a tastefully furnished Florida Keys home and located on a quiet side street, in a residential neighborhood on the Atlantic side of the Island, just 5 houses from open water.

The open living and dining room space is great for gathering with plenty of seating for everyone … a great environment to sit back, relax, and talk about your daily and upcoming adventures!

Being just a short distance from the Atlantic, you’ll be diving, snorkeling, or have your lines in the water in no time! If you don’t have a boat of your own, there are plenty of rental/guide services in the area. We have one (1) two (2) person kayak for guest use. When you aren’t out enjoying our beautiful Atlantic Ocean or your private pool and hot tub, you’ll enjoy a host of other entertainment options…...you will be minutes from Sombrero, Key Colony and Coco Plum Beaches, the Turtle Hospital, Crane Museum and just a short drive to the Dolphin Research Center or Aquarium where you will learn about the wonderful sea life in the area.

In case you can’t get to the outdoors or to our sites or are winding down in the evenings, we have a large screen TV with a DVD player to watch movies and have a few games and puzzles if that is your thing.

There are so many great restaurants to try in the area, it will be hard to pick a night to stay in and cook on your own. But if you do, you’ll find that our kitchen is stocked with cooking essentials. You’ll appreciate the stainless steel appliances and granite countertops with plenty of room to prep! Of course, we provide standards: A coffee pot, Keurig, toaster, blender, and plenty of serving dishes.

Upstairs has two bedrooms: One canal side with a king bed, TV and sliding glass doors to access the outside; the second has a queen bed. Our lower level, which is accessible from the outside, has a full and twin beds, a seating area with a TV and a little serving station with a microwave and small refrigerator to hold some essentials.

Our outdoor living area provides a gas grill and even a bait freezer for your convenience. Additionally, the dock has a cleaning station, electricity, and water. Again, one 2-person kayak for your use.

We have such a great property to offer. Hopefully, the description answers all your questions but please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or special requests. We look forward to hosting you your family and guests in our home!

NOTE: If we are offering a special last minute rate/promotion, it is for last minute specials ONLY, we do not apply the special rates to advance bookings made when the special was not offered.

We ask for a Saturday to Saturday bookings from mid-February to the first week of April; all of June, July, and mid-August. We sometimes have some flexibility to book different dates during the offseason but only if we are within a couple weeks of the dates.

Boat size: No more than 30' recommended for our canal. We have guests currently booked that have concerns about the depth of the canal coming in so I'm providing more information to help future guests - Past guests with a 30' boat only had issues during king tides at low tide ONLY. If you are an experienced boater, you can get in and out of our canal without a problem. Please reach out before booking if you have questions or concerns so we can provide more details if you require them.

Pets: We prefer smaller dogs, not too hairy - please send us a note first to confirm your pet is okay to stay. It's an extra $25/day (plus tax) for each pet. VRBO should ask you to put in the number of pets and charge accordingly but if their system doesn't pick it up, we'll add it on. If you are unsure, don’t add your pet in now, we will do it later when you decide. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.

Occupancy: Rates are based on the standard occupancy, which is 6. You may have up to 8 guests by Monroe County's Ordinance, but we charge additional occupancy fees of $150/week per person in this case. If you are unsure of your total, book with 6, then update us when you know. Deciding later will save you up front booking fees and unnecessary taxes.

Parking: The front of the house has a mostly gravel and concrete driveway. There is more than enough room for a few cars and a trailer or two. The photo of the front is not being accepted by VRBO for posting. In the meantime, please request it if you'd like to see the front.

Vacation in Paradise
We absolutely loved Turtle Cove! The house was perfect. We loved the pool, hot tub, dock and kayak. It was really cool to see so many manatees and tarpon off the dock. The house was convenient to many attractions and Key West. Gail, the property manager, was so friendly and attentive. Overall, we had an amazing time and highly recommend the home. Thanks again for an amazing vacation!!

Everything was good - just one small hiccup - the spa was not clean and we did ask regarding and were told it would be cleaned - it was not ever cleaned - therefore we were not able to use it.

Great location. We really liked how the house was close to everything. First boat trip to the canal is a little intimidating when the water is down but it's fine after you have done it once. Would stay here again.

We really enjoyed our week at this house. The pool was A+, nice hot tub and being right on the canal to see the manatees and being able to kayak was great. The house is comfortably furnished and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable as well. Highly recommend!

Great place, wonderful communication
We had a wonderful time, had everything we needed, and the local property manager was very helpful and communicative. One of the many highlights was getting to hang out with a manatee who just seemed to like our company at the dock. So sweet!

Wonderful place to stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this home. We have rented spaces for numerous vacations and this one is at the top of our list. The property manager was easy to contact and prompt to respond to any questions/ requests. The pool and hot tub were great and the lower level (which has its own entrance, bedroom, living area, and full bath) worked well for our teenagers. Thank you so much!

Perfect Getaway
Michelle was excellent and we loved the vacation home. Pool was just perfect for relaxing in the sun and just enough space to escape the sun under the patio if needed. House was updated and clean. We will be looking to come back again sometime.

Fall Break
Awesome house is the correct adjective for this home! Perfect location for all of our activities- fishing, snorkeling, and eating! Close to restaurant’s and to grocery stores. When we cooked the lobster we caught it was very quick to run out and get the supplies we needed! Having two stories was great to allow younger family members privacy and fishing off dock while the older members watched from second story deck!

Wonderful Stay
My family really enjoyed our 3 weeks at Turtle Cove. The home was as advertised and actually even better. We loved having 2 separate living spaces, being on a canal that had daily visits from multiple manatees, the quiet street with friendly neighbors and really enjoyed the child friendly heated pool. Prior to our stay any questions we had concerning the home were answered quickly by Margie and while we never had any issues during our stay, Kathy the maintenance manager was always available and close by if we had needed her. Our overall impression of the home was that it was everything we had hoped for and needed. Therefore we've already booked again for next year and can't wait to go back.

Exceptionally Well Appointed
My family and I had a fantastic week's stay in this beautiful home. It was even nicer than the VRBO description; we were pleasantly surprised at every turn. Immaculate and very well maintained, luxurious kitchen, living, bath and the mattresses and linens were top shelf. The owner was helpful and friendly throughout the entire transaction and I couldn't be happier with my choice to stay at this wonderful home. It has a great location that afforded easy access to fantastic water by way of sea and land. It was also close to fantastic parks, attractions, shopping and dining.

Great time!
Great Pool! Nice accommodations. Rented a boat for the week and really only had to be careful one day coming in the canal, low tide was LOW. Only downside from being on a canal and not the owners fault is the mosquitos...they were AWFUL at dusk. Bring bug spray! The house was great, my kids are older so it was nice putting them in the downstairs area. The house manager put the trash cans and recycle out at on the nights they were due to go out for us. Super helpful owner(s) and we would definitely stay here again!

Awesome property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Turtle Cove. The pictures do not do this place justice. We walked in and were taken aback at how beautiful and well maintained it was. It was a nice touch to have music playing in the house when we walked in. The house was up to date, very clean, and plenty spacious. The unique set up with the separate entrance downstairs with a bathroom, bedroom, and kitchen appliances was extremely convenient for our group. It allowed one family to have their own space while the other family could have privacy upstairs. The pool and hot tub were amazing and private. We also enjoyed the large dock and fish cleaning station. We walked to Herbies twice - we loved having it close by. The property manager Kathy was excellent and made sure that we were comfortable and had what we needed. We would surely stay here again.

House with a pool is a PLUS.
Great experience. The beaches in the area aren’t like the manicured Florida beaches in the panhandle that we’re accustomed to. But, for me that wasn’t an issue since we really enjoyed the pool at the house. It’s approximately 12-14 feet wide X 26-28 feet long X 5 feet deep. There is also the “wading pool” that has chairs for sunning. Everything on the island seemed to be 5-7 mins away, which was really nice. And the restaurants... if you like good seafood, this is the place to stay. Every meal was well above par. Overall, great experience.

Fantastic Trip!
Everything was as good or even better than we hoped. From the immediate and helpful communication to the house itself! We are avid boaters and fishermen/woman, the dock space is massive, has a hose, cleaning table and bait freezer right at the dock. 4 or 5 houses to the Atlantic Ocean. The house was very clean, AC was awesome, and the house design really sets up well for a group that may want some privacy from their fellow guests. The absolute show stealer is the pool. Virtually complete privacy, large and has several ledges at varying depths to make sipping Margaritas as good as it gets. The large, covered Lanai is right next to the pool, perfect for cookouts, card games and in our case backgammon tournaments. Parking for three large pickup trucks and two boat trailers. Also, the house is located on the same end of Marathon that has almost all of the restaurants, bars and a boat ramp. It's the little things that makes a place special, this place covers them all.

Birthday relaxation week!!
Property was everything it was described in the listing. Everything you need is available very clean and spacious home which our family really enjoyed. A fully stocked kitchen made sure I was able to cook every day which was very helpful. The view from the wraparound balcony made it a plus to have my coffee every morning and watch the manatees in the canal. We brought our boat with us which Docked perfectly right outside where we were able to come and go as we please.The pool and the Jacuzzi is a great feature Which is what I was looking for in a vacation home.Margie make sure all our questions were answered with a yes vacation folder which provided everything from restaurants to activities and Wi-Fi password everything was covered from A to Z we truly enjoyed our stay at turkey cove.Looking forward till next year vacation!!

Great house in middle keys
This home had had all we needed to enjoy our stay. The provided beach towels were helpful after our dips in the pool and hot tub. We were able to dock our 20ft boat without issue but you definitely need to be mindful of the tides and not go in/out at low tide. Loved the tropical foliage around the pool that provided atmosphere and privacy. The checkout time of 9:30 is the earliest I have seen. We were unable to make arrangements for later but perhaps could have had We realized it earlier. We were a group of parents with older children (early 20s) and one young child. The home worked well for all of us. It was VERY windy while we were there which limited boat time but we also were able to fish from the dock and even saw manatees!

Book it !!
The pictures on this VRBO do it justice. Loved the location on the Island ( Middle of the island ) . Very clean Property, Great Pool, easy access to the ocean, Manatees and Tarpons at your door step. The house was set up perfectly, for the four of us. We could have had another couple at the house and it still would have been comfortable. We had one small problem but the Owners were on it Immediately and had the problem fixed in 30 mins. Kids caught Mangrove Snapper off the dock and plenty of Mullet for bait off the dock. House also has an outside freezer that we used for Ice, bait, chum, and Our catch which was very convenient. The Jacuzzi by the pool with the exterior television was great to watch movies in with the kids every night. Over all, We stay in the keys twice a year ( in Rental houses ). This was one of the best experiences of our many stays. BOOK IT !!!

Gorgeous place !!! 5+ Stars to the Owner!!!!:)
The first thing - thank you so much for beautiful place to stay!!! It’s a little paradise on the Earth!)) We had great experience there. The pool is great for all ages. Our 3 kids (4 years and 5 years old) learned to swim very easy, because the pool has a benches inside. We spend all day outside by the pool and patio. We had so much fun to swim to kayak to open ocean! Also it’s a pleasure to have dinner outside next to the water. What we like a lot there is two separate entrances to the first and second floor. That way everyone can have more privacy, so it was great for us and our parents. Sombrero beach one of the cleanest beaches on the Keys and very close to the house. Publix and Walgreens 2 minutes from home. Manager Kathy is the greatest women on the world, she is so kind and lovely person. When we ask for help , she came late evening and brought us anything we ask for. Recommend this place to stay . And next year we are planning to come back. Thank you, Kathy and Margie for enjoying this place! We are happy and lucky that we made this reservation !!!!!!!
