Mary T.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This was hands-down the worst Vrbo experience I’ve ever had. The host is deceptive and has clearly misled countless guests. She demands invasive personal information before arrival, then hides in a small house in the back, watching everything you do. The listing omits crucial details — like only providing one roll of toilet paper for the entire stay — and the space is poorly maintained.Her behavior is unprofessional, overbearing, and downright dishonest. She nickel-and-dimes guests while pretending to offer “hospitality,” but it’s clear she’s only out to take advantage of people. This felt less like a vacation rental and more like being under surveillance in the home of a thief.Avoid this property at all costs — it’s a waste of money, peace of mind, and your personal privacy.

A Perfect Family Getaway at Coral House!

Our family of six adults had an unforgettable stay at the Coral House in early August. The weather was great, and the location couldn’t have been better. We loved having the freedom to take out the paddle boards whenever we wanted. The sunsets and stargazing from the dock were simply breathtaking. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, making our stay comfortable and convenient. Leslie, our host, was fantastic! She was always available to answer our questions and provided excellent suggestions for local activities. We recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation spot.

Privacy Yet Centrally Located

We stayed for three nights and had a wonderful time. I made a mistake with the reservations and we needed to check in one day early and the property was so accommodating. We used the paddle boards and kayaks daily which our kids loved. We had several questions for the property manager and she was very quick to respond. We would return to this property. Thank you!

not as advertised

house does not have a waterfront view as advertised. house is in the woods. there is no central air conditioning in the bedrooms, and window/standup units are older and loud which makes it difficult to sleep. we noted 2 unmarked video cameras on the house. owner lives on the property in a cottage on the waterfront, so if you walk the 1/8 mile to the water, its not a private area. Because this property was not as advertised we checked out after 1 day and requested a refund. (a first) house is a large space which is good for large groups. its in a central location in key largo which is also good. owner came over to visit, and seemed nice.

Serene atmosphere

I took a group of 6 boys to celebrate their high school graduation. The property was beautifully set on the Gulf side. Snorkeling and kayaking right on the property’s edge was amazing. Beautiful sunsets and plenty of room for a party of 8. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything you need.

Beautiful sunsets and amazing water access

The Coral house was very clean and had everything we needed for our girls’ weekend. It wasn’t fancy, but the water access to the crystal clear beautiful water was worth everything we hoped for and more. We floated and snorkeled and watched amazing sunsets right from the property.
