Big Pine Experience
Location was very quiet and perfect for boating, exploring the island, key deer watching and steps away from good food and fun. The locals we met were very nice and friendly. The dock setup was perfect for my 22 ft boat. I would recommend this property. The owners were very quick in responding to me prior to our stay and very helpful to my questions.

2nd times a charm
This was our second time at this home. Enjoyed our stay. Nice new walkway on the canal. New boilers in the water that kept the weeds out. Short ride to the gulf in our boat. Fishing wasn’t very good this year.. Had issues with the cable tv but owners got right on it. . Crock pot did not work. Wish they had bikes and lounge chairs for outside. Weather was great. Would rent again.

This place was OK the location was nice the Internet sucks the TV really sucks they didn’t even have a smart TV also no TVs in the bedroom people go on vacation and they like to kick back watch a little TV and it showed TVs in the bedroom before so you couldn’t get Netflix or anything there’s no outside furniture no lights underneath the house and everything there it’s pretty beat up The dock and deck are rotten I fell through.the dock the decks falling off the house I actually left one week early because of my leg from falling through the dock. It was convenient and it was quiet. I have for VRBO’s myself and I know there’s a lot of upkeep in this place just wasn’t kept up and it wasn’t clean.

Family Getaway
We enjoyed our stay here but did not get to do much because of Covid -19restrictions. . but we did bring our boat , so that helped for entertainment .The deck was super nice to sit up high above and watch the Key Deer . There is a nice gas grill on deck that we used alot . Place was clean upon arrival ,no hassles. . Pictures online show a dated tv and refrigerator. All of that has been replaced and updated . . Extra tvs in bedrooms would be nice.. Such a good value ,a charming cozy place . TY Lucy for sharing your getaway spot !

Canal behind the house allows quick and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf for fishing, kayaking, diving or snorkeling. The area is beautiful, peaceful and within walking distance to the 'No Name Pub'. Bicycling is also a favorite activity.
