Oceanside Canal Home - Tropical Paradise in Islamorada

The clean, newly refinished home features new furniture and bedding, beautiful landscaping that lets
you know you are in the tropics. A new kitchen with all wood cabinets, granite counter tops and GE
Profile stainless appliances greets you when you enter. It is a place in which to launch your many
experiences that you will remember for a lifetime.
Pam and I have created a private sanctuary that honors the Keys spirit and all who visit. The
soothing energy will bouy your spirits and prepare you and guests for all the options that are at
your doorstep.
Sunsets at the end ot the canal, restaurants just minutes away, nightlife incomparable in all the
Keys, and of course the world class fishing and snorkeling and diving.
You will no doubt enjoy the 90 feet of concrete dock with electric, water, and cleaning station.
Also the huge deck with fountain will provide an enchanting spot to relax in the sun or the shade
while enjoying the canal and ocean views. At the end of a day in town sightseeing, shopping, or out
fishing, I ususally start the barbecue on the deck then begin cleaning the fish and boat. Pam
freshens up in the house and makes a drink for us both to enjoy on the deck. As we relax by the
fountain we decide our next move. Will we watch a sunset by land or sea? Or should we begin a new
night fishing experience? Or do we visit our favorite happy hour location (a listing of such is
provided at the cottage)? There are no wrong answers in the Keys it's "all good".
Lower Matacumbe is the name of our small island in Islamorada. We are at mile marker 76.5 (The Real
Islamorada). We are walking distance to Robbie's Marina, home to a large resident population of
Tarpon you can watch and feed. They also have boat rentals and tours, and a wonderful restaurant.
We are also very close to Bud and mary's Marina, Papa Joe's, Sandy Cove, and Calusa cove Marinas and
more. There are many restaurants with in three miles to visit by boat or car or bike.
A stay at our location puts you about 100 yards from the Atlantic Ocean, but back water access is
just minutes via Indian Key Channel or world famous fishing channels #2 or #5 Clean quiet, private,
fully updated and outfitted makes our house fun and functional for the whole family. Pam and I look
forward to having you stay. I will be waiting for your call to tell you even more about the house
and the area.

The home has been inspected, permitted and licensed by the Village of Islamorada  # VR-113.

While boating, enjoy a swim in the crystal clear water. The Chica Rocks are nearby and provide an
excellent area for snorkeling, or for the more adventurous, excellent diving opportunities abound.
If the beach is what interests you - there are several options - one at the end of lower Matacumbe
called Annes Beach, the other nice area is at the Founder's Park, where there is also a nice
swimming pool and playground for the kids.
Islamorada has a beautiful bike path that spans it's entire length for those of you who are looking
for more vigorous exercise. Kayaking is another great way to view the pristine waters and estuaries
of the Florida keys.
Shopping is wonderful - great gallerys, gift shops and boutiques, as well as, the famous "World Wide
Sportsman". If you are not interested in shopping then enjoy a Cigar and Cocktail at Hemmingway's
