Amazing time

We had an amazing time at Sandy’s property. We spent out mornings on the dock fishing and nature watching. We saw manatees, lizards, crabs, lobsters, eels, all kinds of stuff. Spent a good amount of time in the pool and the beach, which were both warm since the weather is so hot. Sombrero beach near by was amazing. The house is big and very open and in a great location. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place for our family

Great house with everything we needed. The dock was super protected but easy access the ocean. The kids loved fishing, the manatees and the gecko's. The house was super clean and had plenty of space.

Great space & amazing location!!!

The house is comfortable, beautiful, open and spacious. The location was amazing and it was fantastic to dock the boat at home and launch kayaks directly from our back yard. We even saw a baby nurse shark swimming by the dock and kayaked to a mangrove canopy right from the house. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend Beach Nuts :)

Clean and spacious!

Great location, walking distance to sombrero beach with beautiful sunsets. We used local kayak company to deliver kayaks and used on site kayak launch and kayaked through boot key mangrove tunnels! Clean pool with floats, patio area, and grilled out a night. Spacious and clean. Perfect for a pandemic get away. Would recommend!

Very comfortable home in a great location

Our group of 7 fit perfectly in this spacious home. Loved having a dock for our 30' boat and being walking distance from Sombrero Beach. It is also a very short boat ride to get out to the Atlantic Ocean. The house has a lot of common areas to hang out in. We also enjoyed all of the outdoor areas. The decor makes you feel like you are in the keys. Also, very conveniently located for grocery shopping and dining out. We would definitely like to visit again!

two weeks of fishing

Property would hold a big group with lots of space. Located on a hard to find Sombrero beach walk. Biking was great to the beach. Be prepared for a funky bathroom setup which is off set by the dock and manatee watching. Reminder the pool is great but not heated.

Great Family Spring Break

We stayed in Beach Nuts in April of 2021. It was my parents, myself and husband and 3 teenagers and two dogs. The house was perfect for us. Check in process was smooth. Received the code when the house was ready. The house was clean and larger that we expected. We rented Kayaks for the week and paddled through boot key daily. We will definitely be back. All of us had a wonderful time.

Great location. House could use some TLC

Location could not get any better! We were able to walk to Sombrero beach in 3 minutes! It was an older home in need of some TLC though. There was plenty of room for my family to spread out. But some light fixtures did not work. And there were lots of bugs, particularly in the Jack and Jill bathroom.

Great location, as advertised

Had a fabulous time. Pros: great location, 3’ pool perfect for our kids, very clean, lots of indoor and outdoor space, screened porch was perfect for enjoying breeze, saw many animals (iguanas, lobsters, fish, jellyfish, etc), good communication from property managers. Negatives: house shows it’s age (eg, superficial cracks in walls), bathrooms are unique. To be clear, not an issue for us- in fact, bathroom layout worked great with young kids! All in all, fabulous rental and we’d stay again. Thank you!!

Good Location and Home

Overall the home is very nice, the location is great and the dock for the boat was very nice. We loved the floorplan!There are a few things that should be better attended too.1) The pool turned GREEN after 3 days and no one came out. I own a pool and noticed the pump was not running. Not a healthy situation2) When we walked in the floors were still damp from clean, so I thought "nice and clean", but the bedroom floor by the laundry room was not clean, my wife sweep it and got a LOT of dirt up.3) The corner cabinet in the kitchen is broken and when we opened it, it feel and almost smashed my toe! Very dangerous.4) Kitchen was stocked "OK" but I have stayed in a number of VRBOs over the years and this one was probably the less supplied. There were no flat baking sheets, and limited teaspoons, etc.5) The bathroom by laundry is VERY tiny. Could not sit on toilet straight due to wall.On the positive side1) AC worked GREAT!2) We had 6 adults and had plenty of room3) we loved the layout4) The grill was clean and worked (unlike others I have stayed at)5) there were two coffee makers6) Again, the dock and location was greatOverall, we had a good experience and would recommend it for a group of 6-8 people.

Fantastic!

The location is perfect. Great quiet neighborhood to walk the dog and 3 doors down from Sombrero Beach. Very close to grocery/liquor stores. The house is very clean and spacious. The bathrooms are a little strange as other reviews state but we knew that going in so we were fine. The screened porch is huge, it rained a few times so this was a great feature. You can fish from the dock or put a boat there. We saw a variety of fish like mangrove snapper, barracuda, a shark and had manatees visit us twice. Kayaking from the house is fantastic! You can kayak the canals, Boot Key or the ocean. We loved the house and the location, can’t wait to go back!

Book somewhere else

Had good expectations for this property considering we paid a lot for a week. This property lacks a lot. Things are not being kept up with, we noticed a lot of broken doors, knobs, hoses, electrical wires exposed, etc. electrical cords exposed in the socket and was a huge danger to our toddler who kept trying to touch it (this should be fixed immediately). Pros:It was close to everything including the beachBeds and Towels clean Open floor plan Manatee in canal out backCons: Old refrigerator that struggled to stay coolPrevious guests used fridge/freezer for bait. Someone had left bait in the house fridge and freezer and the stench was terrible our entire stay. Dirty towels left in the dryer by cleaners.Smallest bathroom toilet -you can’t even sit down without hitting your knees on the wall. We found the bait station out on the dock full of cut up old bait (squid) and we had to clean it up, but the hoses out there were all broken. Cleaning was not done - fridge had food on top of it with lots of dust, hair in dishes, there was tons of dust and hair under furniture like they haven’t been cleaned. Fridge wasn’t clean and smelt like bait. The pool hasn’t been maintained and has floating debris/particles.Kids shorts found outside in the couch and were soiled. Paid a cleaning fee for a dirty house and had to clean it as a paying guest on vacation. Would not recommend staying here unless you don’t mind it being dirty.

We're "nutty" about this house!

Our stay was amazing! The home is spacious with plenty of room to spread out. Although we didn't sleep much, the bedrooms were great. The bathrooms were a little different but for our family, they worked perfectly. You can access the jack and jill from the pool if needed which is super convenient. The pool was awesome and with the shade top and made it so much nicer to hang out all day. The boat dock was a huge asset! We literally went out everyday and could board right from there. Even launched our kayaks without any issue. Sitting on the dock in the morning watching the fish swim all up and down the canal was relaxing too! The home comes with everything you need from extra beach towels, to floats in the pool and even a separate location for the laundry room so don't have to hear the dryer all night. We hung out on the screened in back porch at night and it was super quiet. The best part were the iguanas which were quite lively and always sun bathing.They are truly more afraid of you than you are of them lol. The house is super convenient to everything and a short walk to the beach which is great when you want to see the sun set and rise! Thoroughly enjoyed every part and cannot wait to come back!

Great Getaway

Property is quirky as other reviews have stated and needs some work but I knew that gonig in so I will not knock that in this review. Beds were comfortable/firm. Washer and driyer is available and it the side shed which is pretty normal for the keys. There were some older fishing poles we used that served their purpose. Otherwise if you want to fish you can buy a pole. Their are minimal supplies provided, so you will need to pick up some things at the store. Great location, great outdoor area with newer grill and LP tanks provided. Plenty of room for the four of us (wife, myself and two adult children). Plenty of towels and their are also some beach towels available. Nice beach a block away, MUST take part in the sunset at the beach!! Close to any and all stores (driving). I rented a boat and was able to dock it at the house for a few days, which was a nice benefit. If you have some experience in boating but have never done it in the ICWW I would recommend renting. I used Vacation Boat Rentals ask for Cathy, they were great to deal with. She is about 10 minutes up from the house and a 25 minute boat ride away.

Great location dated home with challenging bathroom situation

The home is in a great location and although it is dated and needs updating, it was adequate as we spent most of the time on our boat which is wonderful to have docked out back with a fish cleaning station. The two king bedrooms share a jack and jill style bathroom, which is a problem if there are two non-related people in the bedrooms. It would be better if they weren’t connected at all, or if the owners put drywall in the shower to provide privacy as you walk in on the other people and hear all the sounds of them going to the bathroom, and the shower between the two toilets has glass so you can see to the other side, so you need to either yell or use a light signal technique to use the bathroom without someone walking in on you. When we read the prior reviews we were under the impression one set of adults could use the third bedroom with its own private bathroom, but it was an after market addition with such a small space, only small kids could sit on the toilet. If you are over 5’2” you need to straddle the toilet b/c your knees hit the bathroom wall if you try to sit normally on the toilet. Bottom line, this is a dated home that works well for one family, but not two couples. The location is great. The pool is an above ground style circular small pool (not our preference and felt like a hot tub due to being so small and above ground…but it worked). The property manager was excellent! She replaced the broken dryer the same day we informed her it didn’t work and repaired the A/C that stopped working later in the week, the same day also. I can’t say enough about the responsiveness of the property manager. We will definitely book with Island Breeze managed properties again.
