BYOB, Bring your own boat :) In our protected deep water canal; we have a slip for a 25ft boat. There is also a boat lift that will accommodate up to a 30 ft boat ( additional monies apply) ** No boat; No worries there are 2 boat rentals on our island..
No need to go far; you can Wake surf, water ski or tube right out from the house. Hook up on to a Tarpon in the Canal or take the boat out for some night snook fishing. Walk off the back steps on to a paddle board and explore all our islands. Stroll to the end of our street for a snorkel or swim. Enjoy a walk or bike ride in the neighborhood to take in all of our Beautiful Surroundings. Like our local osprey nest that is always occupied! Enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the Beautiful Sunrise on the Balcony and Gaze at the Stars with an evening cocktail! Our Downstairs patio breezeway is a perfect place to relax; curl up on the couch and read a book or watch a Movie. The outdoor shower is perfect after fishing & diving for lobsters. Clean your fresh catch under the umbrella with a cocktail and then sit and relax and enjoy that ocean breeze on the chaise lounge chairs! Throw a line out and catch a couple snappers for dinner! Maybe the manatees will come in for a visit or watch the Local key deer come for a swim at the end of the street.
There is always something or somewhere to explore!
For the Adventure seekers; Snorkel Looe Key or American Shoal. Go to the Jumping bridge or explore all the Back Country islands. Picnic Island & The Sanctuary Reef are both a mile over yonder from the house. Key West is only 25 miles away, or just do Nothing at all!

Our new home away from home
We are a family of three with a 16-year-old son. We rented on the adjacent Cudjoe Key for the last 15 years. We focus on fishing, snorkeling, and exploring the area by boat. This year, our usual rental was not available for our dates and we found this wonderful Summerland Cottage, which we booked for 5 weeks.If you are not familiar with boating in the area, the location could hardly be better. Easy access to both the Atlantic and the Gulf. The canal and surrounding waters are deep enough for moderate-draft vessels. The residential neighborhood is among the best you will find in the Lower Keys and neighbors were friendly. There was plenty of room to dock our 19’ boat and we were allowed to use the whips to keep the boat off the dock. There is ample parking for a boat trailer and a couple of cars. The house seemed recently fully renovated, very clean, fresh-smelling, and well-equipped. Photos and descriptions are accurate. The master bedroom is very spacious. The second bedroom was perfect for our son who enjoyed its layout. We cook our own meals and the kitchen was fully equipped for that. The second refrigerator downstairs, a dedicated fish/bait freezer, and an ice maker were a bonus. This is the first time our rental house offered these and we found it super useful and convenient. Our son loved the outside shower and used it every day after fishing, snorkeling, paddle boarding or just swimming in the canal. Since it was only three of us, we used the downstairs bunk bedroom as storage. It was nice to have all the gear locked up and near the boat. The elevator made it convenient to move our luggage and groceries upstairs.I have a feeling that we were among the first renters here. Dealing with Missy was great. We got to know her prior to our arrival and then continued checking with each other. She went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable. She even left us some treats under a decorated Christmas tree. When we were faced with a serious family situation and unable to finish our stay, the hosts were very understanding and helped us out. We wish the owners success and will be coming back. We are already booked for next winter season and will come for a couple of weeks in the summer as well.
