Ocean Panorama w private pool, huge yard, fire pit, kayaks, SUPs

Spectacular 4 bedroom, 3 bath oceanfront bungalow estate. Perfect for family, sports, nature and relaxation. Available for check in/out on Saturdays only.

The rambling bungalow is nestled picturesquely in tropical gardens and is perched on the ocean. It’s divided into 2 separate wings. The West Wing (main house) and East Wing are connected by an exterior gated breezeway roadside and a huge deck with bbq and outdoor living space, ocean side. Within the main house you’ll enjoy the old world charm of Florida keys with open beam ceilings and large principle rooms. It was fully renovated, decorated and modernized after Hurricane Irma.

The kitchen has all conveniences to cook up a great meal to enjoy at the oversized wooden dining table which easily seats 8 and a high chair, or alternatively, dine under the stars on the patio. We know it’s difficult stepping into a new kitchen, so we made sure the kitchen is organized, easy to use and intuitive with most small appliances, bakeware, cookware and tools you’ll need and then some. There are a stainless turkey roaster and lobster pot, too. The eating experience should be memorable, so we provide quality matching dishes, glassware and cutlery.

Off the kitchen and large dining area, the living room with windows on all sides offers stunning panoramic views of the ocean and garden. Here, too, find the unique dolphin table and enjoy the 65 Inch Roku tv, with cable. High speed internet is available throughout the house and most of the property. Also, within the main house are a large bathroom and 2 bedrooms, the master with a king bed and small ensuite bathroom, and a smaller bedroom with a queen bed. Both look out to the ocean.

The East Wing has two more bedrooms, a quirky-styled bathroom and a retro sitting area equipped with a small fridge, microwave and Keurig machine for that morning coffee or late snack. The roadside bedroom has a twin over queen bunk bed and a crib. The master has a king bed with a window and sliding door facing the ocean.

But, why are we here? It's the wide endless ocean.! To that end, Ocean Pearl Estate showcases everything possible.

The shore line, like the house, is divided into 2 distinct areas. A seawall protects the swimming pool, fire pit, and sandy observation area where there are plenty of loungers and Adirondack chairs, while the natural sandy (sometimes weedy) beach and small boat ramp offer easy access to the ocean with the kayaks and stand-up boards .

Some of our favorite seaside activities are:
1. Exploring the diverse shoreline with the standup board keeping a sharp lookout for nurse sharks, rays, turtles and fish.
2. At low tide, strolling on the sandbar with its myriad of birds. It’s a short distance from shore on a spongy bottom.
3. Bird watching. Oceanside is special. You'll see flocks of ibis, majestic white egrets, pelicans, ospreys, turkey vultures,and wide winged frigates to name a few. If you're lucky, our pair of bald eagles will stop by, or the rare reddish egret will dance at low tide.
4. Sun tanning poolside.
5. Challenging each other to a game of bocce or corn hole toss.
6. For large groups, there is an easy to erect volley ball set.
7. Some guests even fish from the kayaks or shore at high tide.
8. Chilling under the stars with a glass of wine, listening to the gentle waves lap against the seawall
,

Despite what nature throws at us from time to time, be it a hurricane or----- Ocean Pearl is the place to be! Whether you partake in coffee on an Adirondack to absorb the solitude of sunrise over the Atlantic, enjoy all the activities the ocean offers, bask in the warm afterglow of a spectacular sunset in the pool or sing songs as you roast marshmallows, Ocean Pearl is the ultimate vacation!


Other Places to visit and activities close by:,
1. Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail for walking or biking is directly across Overseas Highway and is accessible from Kyle Ave or Peachtree Ave.
2. Sunset Bay Park, Grassy Key, great sunsets!
3. Kite boarding lessons/rentals at Grassy Flats
4. Dolphin Research Center
5. Fishing charters
6. Snorkeling or scuba trips
7. Walk the 7 mile bridge

Day trip to Key West along the picturesque overseas Highway

Other Useful information:
1. there are many great restaurants within 5 miles, the closest our favorite is within walking distance two doors east.
2. Publix, Winn dixie and Walmart are about 7 miles West.
3. Easy access to anywhere in the Keys since you're right on the only road, Overseas Highway, that is continuous throughout
4. Flocks of ibis may occasionally descend upon the pool for a drink; great for pictures, but they leave a mess. There is a hose. Sorry for their bad manners.
5. Sea grass, the primary food source of endangered turtles washes up on shore at times. Sargassum, home to many small fish and sea life, may be a nuisance It is prevalent along the south Atlantic coast, the Caribbean and the Gulf at certain times of the year.
6. There is a security camera in the front exterior breezeway that is capable of recording but is only used when the property is unoccupied. There is also a security camera on the west side of house on the chimney pointed at the parking area next door .

We hope that you decide to accept our hospitality at Ocean Pearl and look forward to greeting you.



Sincerely,
Karen and Roman

Awesome place in the Keys!

Despite the bad weather, we had a great time at this wonderful property. Perfect place for 2 families, or a large family that needs some separate areas. Would also be great for several couples the way the unit is split. Roman and Karen were terrific hosts and made sure our trip was perfect. I highly recommend this property if you are planning a trip to the middle Keys.

Relaxation at a beautiful oasis.

We had an excellent week at this location and would highly recommend it and hope to come back sometime. The property was clean and organized. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The back yard was spectacular and we spent most of our time here. We enjoyed the pool every day and the view was breath taking, particularly the sunrises. There were plenty of amenities including sand toys and games to keep our young kids entertained. We loved kayaking and stand up paddle boarding in the area. The hosts Roman and Karen were very attentive and so easy to reach for all of our needs. Excellent!!!!!!!

Absolute BEST Vacation!!!

Roman & Karen were absolutely amazing! We really enjoyed meeting them and having conversations during the week. You don't usually get to have personal interactions with your host. This was the absolute best vacation we have had, ever! This was our first time to the Keys and we will be back for sure. We arrived at the house and it was perfect! The layout made it possible for our kids to have their own space and that little bit of freedom they wanted. The house was super clean and well stocked! It was great to have the basics, some rentals do not provide those things. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, kayaks, paddle boards, fire pit, and watching the lizards each day. We drove down to Key West for a day and enjoyed the sites there. We ate at several great restaurants! The Hideaway Cafe was great and the waitress had nothing but great things to say about our hosts. We definitely plan on coming back to the Keys for another vacation...we will definitely reach out to Roman & Karen when we plan it! Thank you all for sharing your piece of paradise with us for the week!

The property is amazing!! There is fruit for the picking if it’s ripe, iguanas to watch as they lounge and plenty of space to run and play and then cool n the pool. Plus kayaks and paddle boards available for anytime use. The house stayed cool with no issues and was amazingly furnished! We had the BEST vacation ever at this property and will 100% be returning. Roman and Karen came by to say hello with a bottle of champagne and even came to wish us safe travels as we packed up. Wonderful vacation home and wonderful people. Please stay here - you won’t regret it!

Fantastic stay

We all loved staying here. There were 6 of us and we had lot’s of room and never felt crowded The owners went out of there way to accommodate us. They were so friendly. We could contact them at any time regarding any questions. It was very clean as well and had everything we needed. The pool area was beautiful on the ocean. The ocean is shallow for at least 50 feet or more. So great for kids and getting in a Kayak. The view is just gorgeous. They also have a walk out dock that goes out into the ocean with 2 benches and is just lovely to sit on and enjoy the view and wild life from there with a lovely wind. Inside the air conditioning worked great- never an issue. TV’s through out the house to watch at night with free pay channels if you choose to do so. Lot’s of amazing places to eat and explore and see and do really close to the house , and a resort restaurant just 2 doors down to eat and drink if you didn’t want to go far. Key West from there is not that long of a drive and great scenery on the way and things to do. Again, we were so pleased that we rented this house in a great location and would definitely come again.

Awesome yard. Good location.

The house layout was great. The large table held our whole family. The yard was awesome and large. Enjoyed the volleyball court as well as the pool and all of the pwc’s. The smell was the only negative but not the houses fault. We were told Grassy Key has that name for a reason and it is all of the sea grass that gets washed in. The decaying vegetation leaves a very interesting smell behind. Other than that, we loved watching the family of four iguanas and chasining all the crabs.

Senior Trip

This property was fabulous!! We have two kids that just graduated, and we wanted to take all (6) of our kids on one last big family vacation. This house was the perfect set up for that. While the layout is quirky, the finishes are done well and it suited our needs well! When we arrived, the house was ready to go and completely spotless! We spent the week enjoying the beautiful views, kayaks and paddle boards, pool, and volleyball court. The kids were busy outside the whole time and off their electronics - it was amazing! In the evenings; we gathered around the big table and played games together or went out of night swims until we were ready to crash. We could not have asked for a better vacation in the keys!

Grassy Key home

We enjoyed our week at this Grassy Key home. The layout was great for us. Essentially, a duplex with 2 bedrooms in each connected by a hallway. My mother-in-law and our 12 y. o. had their own space & my wife and I along with our 23 yo had the other. Our side had the dining area and family room where we cooked our fresh catches of the day and played cards. The pool was great with a wonderful view. There were kayaks and SUPs available. Everything was very clean. Walking distance to Hideaway restaurant which was awesome. We explored the sandbar at low tide. Location was close to Key colony and the rest of Marathon. Close proximity to restaurants. The ocean is very shallow so no boat dock available in this area. We had a boat with my brother-in-laws place near key colony so our fishing needs were met that way. I meant to try fishing from kayaks but the week went by too quickly!

Great rental for family group!

The layout of the bedrooms worked really well for us, little ones could sleep away from main house. The yard configuration worked really well to have so much outside space all to ourselves. You do hear road noise, but you get used to it! The "beach" is not ideal, but access to the water via the seawall onto the sand bar worked really great!
