Gulf-front house near Key West with private beach & pool - snowbird-friendly

Villa of the Setting Sun

Boasting its own private beach and a heated saltwater pool, this Gulf-front Florida house is the perfect retreat for a family vacation! Its secluded location is easily one of its best features, especially for outdoor enthusiasts due to its close proximity between national parks and reserves, such as Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge, National Key Deer Refuge, and the Blue Hole Observation Platform. If you'd prefer to venture a bit further, Key West is a little more than 18 miles away and sports a number of historical sites to visit, such as the Ernest Hemingway Home Museum, Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, and Mallory Square. There are also a plethora of shopping and local dining options.

If you still desire fresh air after returning to your vacation home, take the provided beach towels and chairs to the sand and lounge blissfully with a beverage as you gaze at the picturesque vista around you. For something more active, bring the included paddle boards and kayaks out on the water. Come back and wash any lingering sand off in the outdoor shower, then go for a refreshing dip in the pool (which has optional heat) before heading inside.

Upon entry, you'll be met by incredible open living spaces and luxurious decor. The group chef will adore the beautiful, well-equipped kitchen. Featuring a wine fridge, an oversized fridge, and a kitchen island with a multi-level sink, feel free to embark on cooking endeavors as a group. Indulge at the table together indoors or dine alfresco under the covered lanai if the mood strikes you. Speaking of which, make meals an outdoor affair entirely by searing your meals to perfection on the grill while enjoying the Gulf view. Unwind in the game room, which has its own wet bar with seating, a video game table, an air hockey table, a poker table, and a pool table. Engage in friendly competition between sips of your favorite drink in your new favorite happy hour spot! When your evenings come to a close, take your pick from one of the comfortable bedrooms, all of which contain large smart TVs and en suites which may include a bidet, soaking tub, or walk-in shower. Two of the bedrooms even provide access to their own private balconies, meaning you can begin and end every day with breathtaking views.

Great Property Lots of Video Cameras
Nice place, great views. Pool was supposed to be heated, heat pump was broke. Pool was dirty, was supposed to get cleaned on Tuesdays they said. Didn't get cleaned. No hot water to the kitchen sink. Young kid in charge of the property was responsive though. Lots of camera's. If you ever wanted to be on the reality show "Big Brother" this is the place for you. And they check them and call you if they see something they don't like. Kinda creepy but once you get past that its okay.

Beautiful home but..
The home is beautiful! It’s an amazing escape. However the pool heat did not work and vacasa the company that the property is managed by is absolutely horrible horrible horrible!!!! Gary Fields is this homes property manager and I spent my first 3 days of my vacation talking to vacasa reps and agents far more than I did enjoying my vacation allll while being given the runaround about how the pool would be fixed. It never was fixed and Gary actually ended up completely ignoring us altogether.the pool is one massive feature of this home so to not be able to enjoy it was heartbreaking!! I have never in my life had such a horrible experience with a property management company. They had zero regard for us given they’d already gotten our money for our stay. A home valued over several millions of dollars and they didn’t care at all to have the heat worked on or even looked at by anyone. We will never ever rent a place managed by vacasa ever again. No matter how nice the place is- they suck as a company when it comes to helping paying customers in need.

Perfect resort for a group of friends or family
This house is stunning and very secluded. We were there four nights to celebrate a friends 40th birthday and it did not disappoint. Four adult couples and a baby and we each had our own room with bathrooms within. The sunset from the pool was unbelievable each night. We swam, used kayaks and floated in ocean. If you plan to walk into ocean from private beach I would recommend water shoes. We did not utilize the game room because we had perfect weather and spent the whole trip outside around pool/beach. The house was spotless and had all supplies we needed for cooking throughout our stay. We did need to purchase more dish soap, garbage bags and toilet paper. On arrival we had our few hiccups. Vacasa happened to be at property thank goodness. We were told no early check in with a baby and found it odd that all the water was off as the owner thought we were coming the day after. They had said no early check in as cleaners would be there but how was all the water off? We also had no A/C on top level for maybe two hours, not a bit deal just combined with water and a few plumbing issues (water resolved almost immediately and broken toilet/sink fixed next day) was a small let down for price of house. Friday morning around 8 am a woman appeared in the house to “check the fire extinguishers”. This was a surprise no one mentioned. nothing beats the location and views of this for us. It was perfect for the relaxing trip we needed and about 25 from key west for night out and airport.

Nice house, listing not accurate
The house is nice, although is surrounded by swampy area, it’s the only house on the water for miles, I’m assuming is hard to build in this type of land. The listing doesn’t show the aerial pictures, you get the address 2 days before your stay. Also, the house only provides coffee and soap; dish, hand and laundry soap, and not enough for 4 people staying for 5 days. The paper towel and toilet paper were very low quality, didn’t expect it for the type of house we rented. They didn’t provide any spices, not even salt and pepper, be prepare to go to the store and buy everything. The game room is very nice, and they also have pool toys for the kids. They have cameras outside, which we didn’t think it was appropriate. Overall we had a good time, but it didn’t meet our expectations.

Pictures are 100% accurate!!! Only problem with this home is the road it’s on, when it rains it floods, and the 2 main level bedrooms would not cool like the rest of the house. Had to place a fan in the doorway of one room to cool it down.other than that had a great time

Gorgeous home, stunning views. Home was very clean and great pool.
We had a great time, house was lovely. Only thing keeping it from a 5 is the fact that while on the ocean, you really can’t swim in the ocean as it’s too shallow. We couldn’t get the Bluetooth speakers by the pool to work. House is very remote but there are a few restaurants nearby which are great. We drove to key west for dinner a number of times, easy 20 minute drive.

I really enjoyed the privacy , no busy neighborhoods, quiet and secluded location. House is very well designed and decorated. Private beach, and onsite pool makes this place a really special. Just a short drive to the Key West with it’s restaurant’s and busy bar's. We’ll definitively be back for the longer stay.
