VOTED BEST KEY LARGO VACATION RENTAL

Fully renovated luxury townhome, licensed vacation rental property, is less than an hour from Miami. Nestled in the heart of Key Largo, Florida, Kawama Yacht Club (KYC) is as good as it gets for meeting all vacation needs. A mangrove wildlife sanctuary borders on the south of the property. While on the east, the Atlantic Ocean beckons fishermen from afar. KYC is 3 acres of restful solitude with 24 hour gated security. There are two heated pools, kids playground area, two tennis courts, salt water lagoon, community BBQ and fire pit areas, marina with free boat launch, 400 ft jetty for sunset watching and fishing, and many walking trails right on the property. While visiting Kawama, make time for all the local attractions. The Everglades National Park is about 50 minutes away, with plenty of eco-touring and airboat rides. Key Largo's pride and joy, The John Pennekamp State Park is only 5 minutes away, MM102.5. Notably known for the first undersea park in the United States, where the famous statue of Jesus can be seen, all encompassing 70 nautical miles. Catch the "Glass-Bottom Boat" or the many snorkeling boats for enjoyable ocean exploration. Hiking and biking trails located within the State Park, with nominal fee for park maintenance. Molasses Reef is located within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, which is east of The John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. This "bucket-list" diving spot, Molasses Reef, is known for being one of the most beautiful coral reefs in Florida, marked with an unmanned reef light. The "African Queen" boat famously known for Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn's 1951 film, is located at MM 100.5, in the heart of Key Largo. In 1992, this was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Just below Key Largo, in Islamorada (approximately MM 82), the charming village of the Moorings Village is the filming location of the Netflix hit series, Bloodline. Go across the street, on the bay side, to Morada Bay and sit and watch the sunsets and take photos next to the "crooked palm tree." Florida Keys Outlet Marketplace is located 29 miles from Kawama. On the way to the Everglades National Park, stop at the outlets and do some great shopping.
Our townhome, renovated for the Key Largo vacationer, is very comfortable. Third floor with 2 bedrooms; extra deep queen mattresses, black-out curtains, and smart TVs, and private balconies. Third floor BA with large walk-in shower. The 2nd floor, main LR with open concept kitchen dining with full BA.

Charcoal grills located between unit L1 and K4; and two charcoal grills located at beach. First floor with leather sofa bed, queen size. Linens stored in cedar trunk.

Amazing Key Largo stay
We had a fantastic stay at Kawama in Key Largo. We had our family of 6 (2 kids, parents, grandparents). Felt we had ample space, towels, pool toys, etc. Location was ideal for excursions to biscayne NP and everglades. Without leaving the property, we could swim and snorkel in the lagoon (complete with many fish including parrotfish and tarpon) - this was a perfect place for my kids to get fun safe snorkeling experience in in calm water. The next day we took the ocean kayaks out on the ocean to the mangrove trails which we and our kids loved. From the point at the beach, again on property, we could take in spectacular sunrises AND sunsets each morning and night. Was a perfect spot for a stay in Key largo and would absolutely stay there again!

Perfection
The property was lovely and exactly as pictured online. It was totally updated in pretty, beachy tones. Check in was seamless. Our amazing manager Norman greeted us and provided a detailed tour of the property as it is quite large. He showed us how to access all of the amenities including kayaks, paddleboards and bikes...really all you need if you want to stay at the property for a day without venturing into the Keys. The condo itself was perfectly situated. It is an end unit so there are neighbors only on one side. There are balconies in each room, some overlooking a beautiful lagoon with lots of interesting fish. The three floors and multiple bathrooms were perfect for our group of five. There was more than enough room for all with as much privacy as we wished for. The basement space was like a mini apartment that provided even more separation. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we hope to book again next year and would certainly recommend it to friends and family. My only areas of small improvement might be to add streaming services to the three TVs in the main living room and bedrooms. They did have cable, but I was surprised that there was no streaming ability in a condo of this high caliber. There was a smart tv in the basement. Also, the mattress on the pull-out couch in the basement is less than wonderful to sleep on even with the topper. However, pullout couches are not known for comfy mattresses. Again...just minor things. Our stay was great!!

The location & quality of the accommodations were excellent. The kayaks & bikes were just everywhere & it was difficult to know what we could use & what we shouldn’t but that wasn’t a big problem. The host was a hoot.. very personable. I recommend this property.

Nice Stay in Key Largo
Pros: responsive host, nice location, nice amenities, nice beach area with chairs, grills. Beach area has large rocks along water but stairs to water. Rained so we did not utilize pools. Extremely well stocked w/ kitchenware, seasoning, etc for cooking. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows. Nice, screened in decks to sit on with patio furniture. Cons: Property description not accurate. On the "plus" side, each floor has a bathroom AND shower (description did not mention shower in 2nd floor bathroom). States 1st floor apartment has a "double sofa bed and one twin bed." It does NOT. It has a sofa bed and a COUCH. I contacted host before our stay to verify b/c pictures looked like a couch and I was assured it would convert to a single bed, but it was indeed, just a deep couch. Living room states "1 double sofa bed" but it was just a sofa. I was disappointed as our group had 2 couples and 2 singles & I had wanted everyone to have a bed, but one had to sleep on a couch. When we arrived, there were wet towels in the dryer and wet towels hanging in the bathroom. Host said house keeping was very busy (busy time of year) and rushed and hung up damp towels that were clean. We just pushed them aside and used clean, dry towels. Host was very apologetic about this, by the way. Overall, I really liked this property and would highly recommend it.

Better than we expected!
This property was incredible for our 11 and 9 year old kids and my husband and I. The salt water lagoon provided the perfect place to practice snorkeling, we had pizza and sunset views on the jetty, we packed a picnic dinner and grilled burgers on the beach area, wandered the docks looking at the boats in the marina and hunted for crabs as the tide went out. The house was well-stocked with supplies for indoors and out. Our beds were comfy and we especially enjoyed cocktails on the screened in porches after dark. My only small suggestion to make this place an A++ is a couple of plastic laundry baskets to make doing laundry for a family and getting it up and down two flights a little easier. We hope to come back again next year!

My wife and I spent most of a week at L5 in the Kawama Yacht Club and loved it. The location is an end unit - although it seems the walls are well insulated from sound from adjoining units - and has a beautiful view of the lagoon. Great location convenient to the Miami airport, Everglades Ntl Park and Key West. Norman reached out a couple of days before our arrival and gave us some pointers about arriving and also met us when we got there. He's a wealth of knowledge about this area! Would highly recommend and stay there again!

Great location
Our stay began poorly. We arrived after 7pm and discovered the property had not been cleaned from the previous guests (four days prior). The property manager (Norman) was not helpful at first, telling us we could go somewhere else. He said, "Good luck finding something this late". A housekeeper (Diane?) arrived and suggested we wait in another nearby unit until she could clean our unit. She was super helpful and tried to make the best of a bad situation. We were able to occupy the unit around 10pm but were offered no adjustment for the inconvenience. The unit is lovely and well-stocked. The property is in a great location and provides lots of amenities with nearby shopping and restaurants--- outside grill, beach access, marina, bikes, kayaks, etc. The property description listed access to a golf cart. However, when we asked for the keys to the cart, we were told it was the owner's personal cart and was not available. When we persisted that one was listed, the property manager brought another one for our use. In spite of the misunderstandings, we would definitely stay at this property again.

Kawama is fantastic property but unit not the one we thought we were getting
Property manager (Norman) very responsive and excellent to deal with. Only issue, and could be a big one for some, is that the advertised unit (one of the townhouses) that we thought we were getting was not the one we were placed in. Fortunately this was disclosed during communications prior to arrival, but it wasn’t prior to renting. The tower condo we ended up with worked perfectly for our needs, but I can see where that might not be the case for everyone. That said, our unit was beautiful, the Kawama Yacht Club amenities are excellent. Only negative is the girl at the front gate whose job it was to ensure we got our gate access code did not, causing an inconvenience one evening in attempting to access the property. I would certainly stay here again!
