This view from the sliding door inside the house looking south, shows the hammock. In the distance is Tavernier creek. Nothing in life is better than swinging in the hammock with a cold margarita, or if you enjoy it a nice cigar. The view is beautiful and it is a great place to take a relaxing "siesta", keys style

This view, from the sliding door of the master bedroom, shows the hammock and the canal in the distance facing east. Notice the fan (one of two), that keeps the area cool and mosquitoes free at all times. The hammock, perfect place to relax, under the cool ocean breeze or the fan above you. This is the guest's favorite place!

This picture is taken from the south end of the porch and it shows the island of Tavernier at the end, the channel at the left and the neighbor's dock ahead. This view is to the Southeast where the breeze comes from. Most of the time you will see many sailboats anchored this side of Tavernier key.

This view, looking south, shows part of the porch. The rocks along the water mark the boundaries of the channel. The exit, to the ocean, is at the end. Notice, above, a large floodlight that can be used at night to illuminate the water, mangroves and grounds. Notice, also, some of the many chair lounges, with stamped tropical cushions. This view looking north towards the canal show the other part of the porch. Notice the large gas BBQ here. If you are in a hurry this is the perfect one to use. Also, we always eat outdoors in here. It is cool and breezy.
