vacation rental description

Why would anyone want to rent a house that is on a small lot

or canal looking at other houses when you have a chance to

rent this spectacular two and a half acre place!!


This historic, one-of-a-kind estate  is in a self contained gated

community and is a homeowners association.
It offers a glimpse of Key Largo as it was at the turn of the

20th century and is perfect for large family groups,

weddings and workshops.
With original Dade County hardwood floors, sinks in every room
and unique pocket slider windows the two houses on the estate

offer the vacationer a chance to step back in time and

experience the charm and kick-your-shoes-off environment of

days gone by.
Both houses also have the modern conveniences of air conditioning,
cable and wireless internet.

"Shadow Point," named for the beautiful changing

shadows and light which you experience throughout the

day under the tropical hardwood hammock, is a dream for vacationers. With its private beach and 180 degree

waterfront view on 2.5 acres - nothing can beat this

exquisite rental. For more pictures and a video go to you tube and 

type in Historic Shadow Point 



Shadow Point was built in 1917 by a ship captain and later bought by Chicago Industrialist, Frank Sweeting, for his fishing friends. After his daughter and son-in-law, Lelia & Marvin Adams, inherited the property, Adams spearheaded the design and construction of the nearby canal that links the bay side with the ocean side of Key Largo. 
Named for the beautiful changing shadows and light that filter through the tropical hardwood hammock, Shadow Point is located on Key Largo Sound, the ocean side of Key Largo . Today, this estate offers the same relaxed atmosphere and seclusion of an earlier era. The 2.5 acre point is filled with lush tropical trees including Buttonwood, Gumbo Limbo. Lignum Vitae, and Key Lime. With a 260 degree view of pristine Key Largo Sound, Shadow Point is an exclusive retreat for those desiring an intimate and private setting.

the Key Largo Sanctuary and dive some of the most spectacular
living coral reefs remaining in the U.S.

Amazing Vacation Spot

Cindy R. ()
Review submitted: August 20, 2011   Date of arrival: August 5, 2011

This was not our first trip to the Keys but it was our first time at Shadow Point. We cannot say enough about this property. By far, one of the best vacations ever! There were 12 of us total (all adults but this is a great place for kids too) and it turned out to be the perfect place to celebrate my husband's 40th (which we kept a surprise)! We snorkeled, fished and just relaxed on the beach the entire time. Shopping and great restaurants are very close and convenient but the 2 full kitchens made it very easy to cook most of the time. The large dining room table accomodated all of us and made dinners much more fun. Marlee was very easy to work with and there wasn't anything the place did not have for us. We look forward to many more vacations at Shadow Point in the future.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: Many thanks for choosing Shadow Point. We love to share this gem with others so they can create their own memories!

Great for larger Family get togethers

Rich (Wheat Ridge, CO USA)
Review submitted: July 14, 2011   Date of arrival: June 16, 2011

16 person family vacation, the kids 9-15 loved the beach and the docks for swimming, the kayaks were used by all. the large dining room was great for all to sit, eat and talk. Kitchen was large enough for several people to work at the same time. The historic ambiance was enjoyed by all. Close to shopping and plenty of shade trees, gorgeous location.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, families with young children, families with teenagers

Owners response: Many thanks - So glad your family enjoyed their vacation. Please come visit us again. You are always welcome. Marlee

Classic Keys Elegance

Bob (Miami Beach)
Review submitted: April 7, 2011   Date of arrival: March 14, 2011

I've been going down to Shadow Point for almost a decade. The expansive property is charming and full of history and life. There is plenty of space for everyone to eat, sleep and play comfortable and opportunities for activity abound. Swim, snorkel, fish, read, grill, cook or just lay in the sun or chat on the porch, enjoying the sea breeze. The In addition, recent upgrades to both the inside of the houses and the garden/foliage have only added to the impressive nature of this place. Still, the property retains its classic Keys elegance; you'll truly fall in love with its charm.

My wife and I were recently married at Shadow Point and it was the best decision we could have made. There is very little required to turn such a magical place into your dream wedding location. Needless to say we would highly recommend Shadow Point for a vacation, family gathering or other special event.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway
