The Angler’s Escape

Waking to the sunrise over the Atlantic from your balcony is a pretty good way to start a morning in the Florida Keys – and that’s exactly what’s on offer here. This oceanfront townhouse in Islamorada sits within a gated waterfront community, with a shared resort-style pool directly on the water and a communal dock and boat slip – ideal if fishing or boating is the whole point of the trip. When you're ready to venture out, restaurants, bars, and cafes are within easy walking distance.

Home truths:
* If you're planning to bring a boat, reach out to your host before booking to request a slip – they're allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The dock takes boats up to 24 feet, and if you have a trailer, your host can advise on whether it fits in the garage or where to park it nearby.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, dock, and boat slip here. They're shared with the resort community's other residents.
* The main bedroom faces the ocean and gets bright early on sunny mornings. If you're a light sleeper, pack a sleep mask.
* Pets are welcome here upon request.
* If you're travelling with a baby, your host can provide a Pack 'n Play travel cot for your stay. Please request this in advance.
* The private garage accommodates one vehicle, or it can be used for gear storage.
