The residence was built in 1995. This unique home consists of two octagonal structures linked together and surrounded by airy verandahs. At 3,500 square feet, plus another 1,500 square feet of screened verandahs, the home is both the largest and newest on any offshore island in the Florida Keys.
Entering the ground floor of the house one finds a large anteroom and a staircase ascending to the living quarters above. The second floor contains the three bedrooms. The two guest bedrooms are spacious with beautiful Teak furnishings and queen size beds, each with their own full bathroom. Glass french doors lead to an adjoining 12 ft. by 30 ft. balcony that overlooks the pool. The master bedroom features Teak furnishings with a King size bed and boasts a luxurious bathroom with whirlpool/jacuzzi/shower combo. Leading out of the glass french doors is a large private balcony that overlooks the front yard.
With the installation of separate central air-conditioning systems for the 2nd and 3rd floors, guests can choose their comfort level for living and sleeping quarters and with a full laundry room on the 2nd floor allows guests to bring less with them to the island.
The house is equipped with every convenience, including clothes washer and dryer, dishwasher, satellite television, CD player, VCR, Tivo, free wireless internet, a Hi-Def plasma TV, a state-of-the-art stereo, and DVD. There is also a small library of DVD's about what is fun to do in the Keys as well as a few movies that are set in the Keys.
The third floor sports a spacious great room with a 14-foot, beamed ceiling and a wet bar. The bar tops a magnificent 300 gallon salt water aquarium stocked with native tropical fish and invertebrates. The dining room offers a spectacular view of the Atlantic ocean and surrounding islands, combined with the great room and sprawling balcony with 35 ft. of glass gives you a one of a kind dining experience. With the unique shape of the house lounging verandah's abound, no matter what time of day or night there is a place to relax with a fabulous view.
The fully equipped gourmet kitchen features large side-by-side refrigerator island cook-top with grill, oven, dish- washer and breakfast bar. Just off the kitchen is a work station thats Wi Fi ready.
The kitchen opens onto yet another verandah, which contains a spiral staircase leading to the “crow’s nest” balcony. Up here, four stories above the island, you can experience superb bird watching, unparalleled panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The crows nest is the maximum height allowed by law in the Keys giving it what most consider to be the best panoramic view in the Lower Keys. Breathtaking is the word most use to describe the 360 degree view.
As spacious as the house is, we restrict its occupancy to a maximum of six people to ensure the quality of the experience for each guest. The minimum age for children is sixteen. No children under 21 are allowed without parental supervision. No pets are permitted on the island.
On the island itself, the main barbecue deck (over 700 square feet) seats 10+ at a circular picnic table, protected by another thatched cabana. Sun bathing, “au naturel” if you like, is a popular activity on the island. Stepping into the water around the island, you’ll find a firm sand bottom ranging in depth from about two feet near shore to a comfortable depth for swimming and snorkeling past the dock's end. You’ll also find abundant fish, providing endless opportunities for both sportsmen and nature lovers.
Recreational opportunities abound in the Keys. Many consider Florida to have the best fishing in the U.S. and there are a variety of boating and diving options as well. Guided trips for fishing and diving outings are available for a reasonable fee. Should you wish to venture out to the “mainland” for shopping, dining, or other services, you’re always just a short boat trip away. Rental of Pecuniary Key includes a 5,000 square foot parcel on nearby Summerland Key. This parcel is equipped with a seawall to serve as a docking site and a secure place to park your vehicle. An easy to use 18-foot jetboat is provided at no extra charge with each rental.
Neighboring Summerland Key is a small, residential community located 25 miles from either Marathon or Key West and 125 miles from Miami. The main road in the Keys, US 1, crosses Summerland Key, yet every business can easily be reached by boat via canal. The post office, banks, restaurants, grocery store, video rental store, hair dresser, gas station, dentist, deep sea and back country fishing charters, snorkel and scuba diving trips, clothing boutique, sporting goods and fishing or lobster license vendors--all have docks for customers arriving by boat.
We recommend flying in to Key West. There, you can rent a car and it's just a 30 minute drive to Summerland Key where you will be met by our staff. taken by boat to the island, and given an orientation tour. If you prefer not to rent a car, limo service can be arranged.
