The setting could not have been more perfect. We had a wonderful time enjoying our family and coming together to enjoy our wedding! The outdoor bar was great and our son had such a great time fishing on the pier.
The VRBO was perfect in every way. It accommodated the entire family of 10 people. We all enjoyed the view of the bay of Key Largo. Everything was close, dining and shopping. It very clean and was well supplied with the cooking utensils for cooking and many choices for eating out. We definitely would stay there again
A group of nine, with ages ranging from 4-78 had the time of our lives. We had tears in our eyes as we rolled out of the driveway for the last time. This home/setting is as exceptional as they come. You’ll hardly feel the urge to leave for anything!
The view, location and accommodations was over the top! Plan on booking again and again! Thank you, your place made our trip so much more enjoyable for all of us.
We are so glad we chose The Louisiana Purchase for our first 3 Generation vacation in 10 years. We loved the beautiful property…..exceeded all expectations. Old foles, adults and teens all LOVED our vacation!
We had kids, teens, and adults in our group and everyone loved this place. Swim, snorkel, paddle board, kayak, lounge without ever leaving the property. This place was very clean and comfortable, the managers were very accommodating and had great communication. We will be staying here again. I highly recommend this property.
The property was absolutely amazing!! It felt like we had a resort entirely to ourselves. Made some Amazing memories and would love to come back again!
This was our second stay at the Louisiana Purchase and it was GREAT! Our family made some great memories and we will be making plans to stay again in the near future!!
This is such a beautiful location. So thankful we could spend time here as a family and create wonderful memories. We would highly recommend this location. The views, the pool and so much room to spread out - we loved it!
Loved our stay! The property is beautiful, clean, and in a great location. We loved spending time at the pool during the day, and on the pier for the sunsets in the evening. Van and Rob were helpful and responsive. Would love to return!
This property delivers a luxury indulgent experience! Perfect for an extended family experience in the Keys. Wonderful layout to both houses, convenient, quiet, safe and a very relaxing environment.
The property was perfect for our beach wedding and to celebrate with our family and friends. The guest house and main house were very clean and had all the things we needed for our stay. We will definitely book again!
Such an impressive property! Within walking distance to many restaurants. Gorgeous sunsets. Great place to spend with family and celebrating a 50th birthday!
Property exceeded all our expectations! I would recommend this property to anyone!

Wonderful Paradise in Key Largo
Thank you Van! We truly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home. We have been to the Keys several times and this was by far the best place of all! Our family and friends had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back.
The property was absolutely beautiful and such a treat! From the private beach and pier to the private pool and bar, everything you could ever need is right on the property. We had the pleasure of seeing several dolphins, iguanas, a heron, and fish during our time. Great time had by all guests in our party from 0-65 years old.

About the host
Hosted by Van A. Snider
We are the three children of a wonderful man, a World War II Veteran who witnessed the raising of the American Flag at Iwo Jima when he was 19 years old, who had a lifelong passion for fishing and family. His favorite place to revisit was right here in Key Largo. He had many wonderful friends here in Key Largo. He purchased this property in 2013, and until his death at age 92, oversaw every detail of the renovation and new construction. It is with a great sense of pride that we host families here on Dad's property, because we know how much he loved sharing it.
Why they chose this property
This property as well as Quiescence Dive Company (Captain Rob Bleser) next door were the base for many a memorable fishing trip for my Dad and his good friend Dr. Dave Bleser (Rob's Dad who lived to 96). For over 30 years, they made annual pilgrimages to Shark River in the Everglades for a couple of weeks annually for the best fishing in the world (According to my Dad), with lifelong friends. Mr. Alton Wells (Who lived the last 30 plus years of his life on this property) was always willing to let them park additional boats in his slip, in exchange for the latest great fishing story over a beer. There is something about the Florida Keys, that I think you will agree, will keep you coming back time and time again.
What makes this property unique
You will be hard pressed to find two acres on the water (facing west) with large private boat slip. This property sat quiet for the last 60 years, shielded from the scourges of modern society until our recent renovations. There is much History on this site. Vintage cast iron street lights reported from Georgia adorn the circle drive. Beautiful mature trees. Unbelievable views of the evening sunset. Each one more beautiful than the last. Creating life long memories with family, children and/or friends. Everything you need for the time of your life is right here.
