My wife and I recently sold our home and needed a place for our college-age kids to come home to for the holidays. We had a lot to celebrate—milestone birthdays (50 and 21), Christmas, and New Year’s—and we wanted to spend it in a place that would be memorable.All too often, these "VRBO" houses aren't exactly as advertised, but that was not the case with this house. It sits on a very large, private lot at the end of a cul-de-sac, providing both private dock and beach access. The rooms are large and comfortable with King beds in all but two bedrooms, and attached baths in all but 1. The house was comfortably appointed with nearly everything we needed for the month we were there, which included cooking holiday meals, boating, paddle boarding, and watching football playoffs.The services provided by Last Key Realty, including a Guest Coordinator and Concierge service, were terrific. I was in touch with our coordinator before arriving, and she had flowers, balloons, and champagne at the house when we got there to help us celebrate my wife's 50th. Our concierge helped us book massages, salon appointments, boat rentals, etc.All in all, we got to experience the best of the southernmost point in the continental U.S. (not to mention some pretty terrific weather), all while enjoying close proximity to Key West, without the congestion and crowds that come with actually staying on Key West.
