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

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.
Departing from our docks you can enjoy back country, bay side, creek and offshore fishing with tarpon, bonefish, grouper, dolphin and sailfish.

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