Wonderful property - wonderful location
Property was exactly as described with large rooms and brand new appliances throughout. Owners are super responsive. The kayaks are high quality and such a nice bonus to have. We used them every morning and evening. Family of manatees right by that we would see frequently at the dock. They love it when you run the hose water for them :). The boat slip was wonderful to have. Highly recommend you rent a boat for the week (if you don’t already have your own). This was first time we did boat rental for several days down there and just can’t imagine not having a boat down in the keys. The way we vacation there is forever changed. Waking up from the beautiful property and hoping on the boat is amazing. Same on the evening returns. So many restaurants in walking distance as well. Make sure you check out Bad Boy Burrito for lunch and the cute coffe shops Cafe Moka. Gorgeous botanical gardens surround both and just 2 blocks from the house.

Beautiful house and location
We had a great stay at this property - communication with the property owner was great and they were extremely responsive. The house is beautiful and was spotless. The community pool and dock area are gorgeous and the plunge pool was perfect for cooling off. We particularly loved being able to walk out to dinner.

It’s everything the listing says. Had a really great time. The property is brand new and very high quality. The dedicated slip for the boat was a great benefit. The owners were very responsive but honestly didn’t need to contact them for anything. Would definitely stay again!

Absolute perfection
Myself, my wife, and 3 teenagers stayed at this magnificent home that should be highlighted in a magazine. It has 3 spacious bedrooms all with ensuites. 2 of the bedrooms have adjustable beds and all the mattresses are high-end and comfortable. There is also a half bath off the open and airy first floor that has a giant island in the kitchen and large living room. The house is big, and clean, with top of the line appliances and modern luxury furniture. The décor is elegant with beautiful artwork hung throughout. An added bonus is the private plunging pool in the front. The house is one of 7 or 8 other homes in a gated development. The development is extremely safe, and once inside the development, there is a community pool and a dock with access to kayaks and paddle boards. This vacation house was everything that we needed. The owners were very pleasant and always accessible if needed. If I could give a 10 star review, I would. We will be back...

This is a beautiful, clean, nicely furnished property. Location is perfect - close to all the restaurants we love. Complete with dockage for our rental boat, we enjoyed fishing, snorkeling, and sunset cruises. Property owner was very cordial and responsive. We used our private pool and the community pool as well. Our 17 yr old daughter loved this place too. Highly recommend this property. Thank you Heart of Morada!

Heart of Morada
We had our original arrangements for staying cancel unexpectedly. Marc and Doli's home was available and saved our family vacation. The home was clean, very well appointed and really, really comfortable after a long day of fishing and snorkeling. The pool is temperature controlled so even though it is a plunge pool, it is very refreshing at the end of the day. We rented a 25' boat and had no problem with dockage. The only suggestions I would have, which are strictly from a fisherman's point of view, the the cleaning table needs a roof and need to be larger, and a bait freezer would have been helpful.
