We spent a week in this condo December 4-11, 2009 and it was fabulous. It was extremely clean and all so beautifully decorated. It is so much nicer than what the pictures portray. The Kawama complex is great and in close proximity to all nearby attractions and restaurants. My husband and I really enjoyed all its amenities and great ocean views from the balcony. We especially enjoyed watching the sunsets every day. What the owner’s claim of having great sunsets is so true. The unit is very well equipped with all you need for your vacation and your home away from home. From linens to towels, kitchen utensils, it was all there. The owners are a delight to work with. Jose made it very easy to reserve the condo. I don’t know how Jose managed but our deposit was refunded and arrived 1 day after our arrival back home. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone visiting Key Largo and the Florida Keys. We will definitely come back again and this time bring the grandkids.

The stay was Great! We thank the owners for use of their fine home and heartily recommend it to any who wish to experience a quiet and pleasurable escape from the chilly north. The units condition, amenities and the locale all were most enjoyable and can be recommended with out any reservation. I look forward to visiting again!

Come for Location, Return for Owners’ Hospitality

We chose Kawama Yacht Club (KYC) because of all the features available in the complex but we want to return because in addition to the great location, Jose & Estela, the owners, genuinely care that their guests have a good time during their stay. You can’t find a better value for the price either.

The unit had everything we needed so we could pack lighter. Because each bedroom had a bathroom attached, it was like having two separate mini-suites for privacy purposes. My mother was able to use her walker in the unit & there were 2 elevators available. Each morning we spent on the balcony with coffee enjoying the view overlooking the marina, ocean and wildlife preserve. It felt like we had the entire complex to ourselves.

The complex has nearly every imaginable amenity – ocean, beach, pools, marina, tennis courts, fishing pier, snorkeling in the lagoon, playscape for kids. The shady lagoon was an especially beautiful place to stroll around. Gorgeous, big parrot fish came up to the dock to feed and we even found a tarpon while snorkeling.

There are no restaurants or bars on the property but there were plenty within a short driving distance. If you enjoy cooking your own seafood without having to catch it, Key Largo Fisheries is a fresh seafood market three blocks from the entrance to KYC. All the local restaurants get their fish from the fishermen’s catches that come in here each morning. Pennekamp State Park, Dolphins Plus, Theatre of the Sea, dive boat operators and other attractions are all within close driving distance. Key West made an excellent day trip.

Whether you use KYC as a home base for seeing the rest of The Keys or decide to stay on the property your entire stay, you will be pleased you chose to stay with the Penabads!
