Sunrise Escape - Ocean Front Villa - Sleeps 10

Enjoy the sunrise while sitting on one of two terraces while sipping your morning coffee in the exclusive part of Kawama Yacht Club overlooking the Marina and Ocean. Enjoy the many choices for the day: Kayaking or paddle boarding just 20 steps from you door, walking to the south beach just 100 yards away, or walking to the beach jetty just across the marina. Or decide to take a swim/snorkel in our swimmable lagoon or in one of our two pools. Then bring a glass of wine to watch the breathtaking sunsets from our oceanfront private beach or 400’ jetty.

Uniquely situated and nestled in a secluded and quiet tropical setting along a private and exclusive strip in Kawama Yacht Club with breathtaking views of the marina and ocean views.

Other Things to Note:
DEEP WATER MARINA: I do not have a slip. An on-site harbormaster will assist you with your boating and slip rentals and I can provide the contact info for you. The Marina accommodates all types of boats from jet skiis to yachts. Boats require $300,000 Liability Insurance in the name of the person on the contract for the rental. And if there is room in boat storage for your trailer or boat, you can use it....otherwise you need to find parking off property. This usually is not an issue, but you are aware if it becomes one. Summer is high season for boat usage. It's first come, first serve on trailer/boat parking. I suggest trying Pilot House Marina as another option, or Pennekamp State Park or the Caribbean Club.

Please note, The description and photos are accurate! This is a VERY clean and comfy home as you can tell from my past guest ratings. I want you to find the best fit for your vacation needs and do not want you to be disappointed. This is your vacation home away from home. It may have a light out (things happen but I provide many bulbs in the closet) or there might be a dirty filter in the AC (I may have forgot to change it last month)……things happen, but I'm here to fix it if needed. If you're here to enjoy the Florida Keys, this is perfect for you.…….relax, and enjoy.

Please do your research. If expecting a white sandy beach with waves, go to the West Coast of Florida or South Florida. Stay in the Keys if you want to be ON the water as we say here in the Keys. The best snorkeling, fishing, diving in the world! Or go to a hotel or park where they ship in sand. We do have ocean access with a sandy area that steps down into the ocean. The water in the Keys is shallow and only sea grass and sand until you get out to the reef. Plenty of marine life. The area is wonderful to kayak or paddle board through the mangroves. Founders Park, Harry Harris Park or Pennekamp State Park are the closest parks.
