Thank you for sharing your vacation home with us! It was clean, comfortable and the views were magnificent. Our photos of the sunsets were amazing. A quiet neighborhood - great for a week of relaxation, great weather and plenty of activity. The restaurants recommended were superb. We will certainly consider rebooking.
The weather was changeable and very windy during our stay. The property made it possible to enjoy every day no matter what the weather! Lounge chairs on lower deck under a lanai or table and stools on upper deck made enjoying the space no matter what the weather! Supermarkets, fish markets all available nearby. Easy ride to Islamorada and on to Key West. Rick was always reachable to assist or answer any questions you might have. Would return in a heartbeat!
My husband Mike and I spent a magical month in Lazy Dayz cottage in February 2018. The expansive views of sunsets from the deck and windows of this house are fabulous, some of the best you can see in the Keys. Every night was different, but equally gorgeous. You can also enjoy the views from the patio beneath the house, where there are tables for dining and relaxation. In the morning, the panoramic view reveals the rosy sky of sunrise, too. Tarpon Basin is sheltered and calm, but still full of activity that is fun to watch, including many birds, boats, kayakers, paddleboaders and sealife. We saw dolphins, and manatees swam along the seawall just under the surface. You are right on the water so the view is outstanding! The neighborhood has a private sandy beach for the residents, as well as a boat launch and a covered pier. My husband fished from the sea wall of our house at least once a day and also fished from the neighborhood pier. The weather was warm during the day with pleasant evenings. We didn\'t miss the freezing temperatures at home! We\'ve already scheduled a return trip to Lazy Dayz in 2019! The house is very close to a shopping center with a Publix and a K-Mart as well as many smaller stores, which offer just about anything you might need. Among the nearby sightseeing sites we visited were the Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State Park, a glass bottom boat ride at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park and the Laura Quinn Wild Bird Sanctuary and Rehabilitation Center (on Tavernier Island). We also made three day trips to Key West and stopped at the Key Deer Refuge along the way. Waterfront restaurants we enjoyed were Buzzard\'s Roost (oceanside canal, Key Largo), Snook\'s Bayside Restaurant and Grand Tiki (bayside Key Largo, great sunsets), Sundowners (bayside Key Largo, sunsets!), Bayside Grill and Sunset Bar (bayside Key Largo, sunsets!), Lazy Days (Islamorada Ocean side), Islamorada Fish Company and the Zane Grey Lounge (Islamorada bayside, lunch at each one, didn\'t stay for sunset but I\'m sure they are spectacular!) Rick was a wonderful host and continues to add improvements to the house. We really appreciated the cargo elevator! You\'ll really enjoy this spectacular home!
We really enjoyed our stay at Rick\'s property. The location is great and the views from the deck and water side dock are the best. We loved our morning and sunset kayaking, plus a few visits from Dolphins and Manatee can\'t be beat. We also really liked snorkelling right from the property. I had read that there are issues with bugs in the Keys, but, we had no issues with bugs at all and loved sitting out on the upper deck after sunset with a beverage. Nothing \"bugged\" us at all. The location is also perfect to quickly drive over to the John Pennekamp and spend the day. Rick was great to deal with and answered all my questions, would rent this property again.
The house was perfect for the four of us. Everything we needed was there, except maybe a mop. Not that we needed to clean but a month is a long time. The views from the front room, deck and dock area was wonderful. We had plenty of space to put our toys and felt very secure. Enjoyed kayaking right from the property. If you are going to kayak I suggest you go up the canal closest to the beach. so you can see manatees. Some times they came by the dock.
