Great place to stay

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!

Amazing Family Vacation

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

Host profile image
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.
