Had an issue with the hot tub, but the overall house was beautiful and the host was very responsive and helpful to any questions we had!
We had a great stay! The house was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The beds were comfy, everything was well maintained, and we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again!
10 out 10
We had a wonderful stay at Latitude Keys Airbnb. The house was a beautiful open floor plan, that matched the description. The outdoor area and pool were a huge selling point for us and our children. The hosts for the Airbnb were very responsive anytime we had a quick question or needed anything. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at this dream villa with its sublime decor. The Balinese atmosphere of the exteriors particularly appealed to us. Ideal location and calm . Must-dos. Thank you so much for hosting us. Warrin Chauvin family
This is one of the best Airbnb homes we've ever stayed in! The house was spotless, beautifully maintained, and we were welcomed with a thoughtful gift basket that made us feel right at home. The backyard was truly the highlight of our stay; the pool, landscaping, and overall design created the best outdoor space we've ever experienced at a vacation rental. Our family spent countless hours enjoying it. We happily gave this property 5 stars. The only minor issue was that the hot water in the master bathroom was inconsistent at times. While it was a little inconvenient, it didn't take away from what was otherwise an outstanding stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a first-class vacation rental.
All was good .. The Hot Tub could be a few degrees warm .. also better written directs and how to operate the Hot Tub
This place was nothing short of a little slice of heaven. Although we were a bit disappointed to find out the home was on a small lake and not the inter-coastal waterway as the water and view from down on the dock is not very appealing; however, the back yard envelops you in a beautiful, super comfortable haven of sunshine & swimming. The pool is the perfect size & temp and seems to have been designed to get every ounce of available sunshine. We never wanted to leave the yard, but when we did, literally every living space in the house was so easy to relax. There was one issue with the hot water in the master bath, which the Latitude Key folks were responsive right away. Latitude Key has surely cracked the code on excellence in property management and customer service. Highly recommend.
Nice property with privacy and view!!
Thank you so much Latitude Keys for a great time! The responsiveness was amazing and my friends and I didn't want to leave! Amazing place for a bachelorette and all amenities are provided too! Also thank you so much for the champagne in the fridge 🙂 It's the little touches like that, you don't see anymore that Latitude Keys executes perfectly! I needed early check in and they were so accommodating. I was asking a lot of questions and they had patience and kindness the entire time. I rate this place 10/10 - the pictures don't do this place justice. It's so pretty!
Amazing house.. amazing pool. This was the second time I have stayed at a Latitude Key property and I have to say it doesn’t get better than this. Better than any Airbnb host you can find.
Nice house - very clean
This is the 2nd year that my family and I visited this home. What a beautiful & well maintained retreat! Personally it feels like you are on an island all by yourself with the pool, spa and well manicured landscaping! The home is spacious and affords you and your guests the ability to rest and relax. We cross our fingers this property is again avail next year as we would love to return. Happiest of Holidays!!
Great stay! This home has a small lagoon to use the water toys! Pool and kitchen are wonderful as well!! We had a couple small maintenance items and they were addressed immediately. We could be happier with the management of Latitude Key! We will look to them next time we are in town!
My stay was absolutely amazing! The place was beautiful and exactly as described. Everything was spotless, and all of the amenities were working perfectly. I’ve stayed with Latitude Key before, and once again they did not disappoint. Their properties are consistently top-tier, and I will definitely be back. Highly recommended!
非常棒的入住体验,房间独特,适合一家人团聚使用
We stayed for 10 days and had an excellent time! Beautiful property and a good location to get to many restaurants, the beach, grocery stores etc. They have everything needed for the beach at the property as well which is really convenient. Highly recommend this property 🙂
Wow! The home itself is open and newly remodeled and perfect for families or groups. Everything was comfortable and well laid out. The pool...STUNNING! It was like it's own oasis in paradise. We hardly spent any time inside. Latitude Key also left so many special touches truly showing they are a luxury vacation rental company. Can't wait to plan our next vacation with them!
My stay at the castaway home was amazing! The house inside and outside was very well maintained and clean, there was plenty of towels blankets coffee etc for everyone which was great! My host responded right away with any questions I had and could send someone almost immediately when we needed something! It’s in the best location a 10-15 minute drive to everything we wanted to do. This was by far one the best air bnb stays I’ve experienced! Will be staying again!
Beautiful home
We had a wonderful time at this home. The outdoor area has the most beautiful landscaping. The hedges provided the utmost privacy and shade from the morning sun. It is a very stylish home, with cozy furniture and comfortable beds. The kitchen had more than what we needed, the bathrooms and closets had everything, and there was plenty of places to hang out. The dock was fun with lots of toys for the young adults. The service from Latitude Key was immediate and they responded to any minor issues we had. I would definitely stay here again!!
The house was perfect for our family and we very comfortable.
Had a wonderful stay at Latitude Key! The pool was perfect—clean, private, and relaxing. The entire property felt like a home away from home. Everything was thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. Would definitely book again when visiting!
I can’t say enough great things about Latitude key! We just had an amazing stay in Fort Lauderdale. The house was pristine, the beds were very comfortable, linens were clean, the pool was gorgeous and the space was perfect for our group. The response time of our Host was under 5 minutes and they were very responsive. Would highly recommend!
Great property!!!
Nice home. Comfortable and clean. Nicely landscaped. Quiet surroundings.
Great home!
Great place, no complaints. Every detail was perfect and a lot of care and thought out into the home.
Hot tub never really got hot but this house is great! All the kitchen appliances you a need plus extra. The grill and pool are fantastic.
Our family of four (plus our pup) had an unforgettable stay. The home was immaculately clean — even the tiniest corners sparkled, and the sheets were the whitest we’ve ever seen. So appreciated! Beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked. The backyard was a total oasis with a pool and outdoor TV — we spent full days out there and even watched the Masters from the pool! A private chef (Abigail), referral from Latitude key team, made our favorite meal of the trip. With such a central location, this spot is hard to beat. We’ll definitely be back!
We enjoyed the house!
Had a fabulous stay in this updated tropical paradise which felt more like staying in a 5 star resort. The house is exactly as seen in pictures with very tropical, lush landscaping. The house was very open and spacious and the rooms were spacious with plenty of closet space and comfortable beds. The kitchen was spacious with plenty of utensils and cookware. The only thing lacking was pantry space but we did move things in a couple of kitchen cabinets to make room for groceries. The backyard outdoor space with the pool, hot tub and dock was our favorite area and we spent a lot of time enjoying it all. The dock did have a few kayacks and paddle boat which we enjoyed almost every day. The property also had a couple of bikes on the side of the house which we did take a leasure bike ride to the beach which was not too far. The house is very close to stores, shops and restaurants and about a 10 minute car ride to the beach. We did have a couple of issues with the front door lock and one of the air conditioning units however the property management was extremely responsive and maintenance came very quickly to fix both issues. The process of calling into the property management was very easy and again someone answered and responded to our call immediately. I would highly recommend this property, you will not be disappointed!
This vacation was magnificent. The backyard took our breaths away. We had an amazing time with the pool. Everythimg was close.The backyard was awesome for our big family it was comfortable we didnt want to leave. The house was impeccable. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we wanted to stay longer. It was a pleasure to be in this home. Thank you for allowing us to stay!
We go to Fort Lauderdale every year with our children who are now 3 and 5 and this has by far been our favorite stay. Not a single issue! The home is immaculate and accommodating and the outside is incredibly beautiful! We typically rent houses and plan not to leave during our stay and this was the PERFECT place for it! We will definitely be back! Don’t hesitate on booking this property!! From communication, to cleanliness to the outside oasis it was literally perfect and we had zero complaints!!
We had a long girl’s weekend at the Castaway Key property and the stay could not have been more perfect! Everything was as described and the pictures did not do it justice. It was stunning! The neighborhood felt very safe as well. The customer service was top notch - everyone was very responsive and accommodating, plus the checkout process could not have been easier! My favorite rental property thus far. We would highly recommend them and this property!!
We had a great stay at this home. The house was clean, modern, and comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time outside in the pool, hot tub, on the dock, and using the pedal boat. Management was quick to respond and very courtesy. We would definitely return to this property!
This house was everything we thought it would be and more. One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed at. The pool was amazing. The dock and the kayaks, paddle boats were all awesome. It’s convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. We definitely stay here again!
