Perfect Family Vacation

This property was beautiful and so clean! The home was stocked with everything we could have ever needed during our stay. The canal was extremely easy to navigate to the ocean or bay with our boat. This location was everything we had hoped for from our summer vacation.

Relaxing Family Vacay

We enjoyed a great week at this beautiful home. It had everything we needed. We loved hanging on the back porch after a fun day of fishing. We will definitely book again. The property management company did a great job making sure all our needs were met. Great home to enjoy a relaxing time in the Keys.

Best ever

Having utilized many VRBO properties, this is the top of the heap! It was equipped with virtually anything that you would need for a great family vacation. Linens were plentiful and the bedding and mattresses rivaled the best hotels. Couple all of this with the location…and you cannot find better. I will absolutely make plans to stay again…but longer!

Amazing vacation and accommodations!

We had the best week at the Sunshade Villa. The house was amazing, the community was safe and tons of great things to do and places to eat. The private dock on the canal was one of our favorite parts, catching fish and watching the nurse sharks and manatees swim up daily. Truly a slice of paradise and some place we would love to return to. Thank you for providing such a wonderful home away from home.

Wonderful family memories

We had a wonderful week at Sunshade Villa. It was the perfect spot to make family memories. The accommodations were impeccably clean and it seemed like everything was so thoughtful....from providing kayaks, paddleboards and a high chair to knowing the importance of comfortable beds and furniture. We all felt at home and would certainly recommend this property to out family and friends.
