Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.

We stayed at this house for the Labor Day vacation. It was exactly what we were looking for. With the pandemic going on we’ve been indoors for so long that we needed a little getaway. My kids have virtual classes so having the WiFi was very helpful. Also having the boat dock and more than enough space for us to park our trailer was another great plus. This house was perfect for us. Kitchen was stocked. Washer and dryer with supplies. Cute screened in porch to enjoy our morning coffee. Joy was so helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Great location and nicely decorated, but no refund of deposit
The house was pretty much like I expected, nothing fancy but it had everything we needed for the most part. One of the pros was the location. It was on the end of a canal and had a nice view from a screened in porch. It also had a good sized tv in the living room with cable channels. There were two futons in the living room which provided enough seating although they were not the most comfortable sofas. The kitchen had enough dishes, and the appliances were upgraded. I liked the way it was decorated as well.
There were also a few cons. The main con for me was the bed in the master bedroom. The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. It could use a mattress pad. Also, the dresser drawers would not even open. It seemed to be made very cheaply. The bathroom was tiny and had no place to hang a towel. I did notice someone had bought a towel bar, but not hung it yet. Another con was the ants. There were tiny sugar ants in the kitchen. I bought some donuts, but I had throw them away because of the ants. There were also huge carpenter ants on the dock that got into our boat. All of these things were inconveniences, but not deal breakers for me. There was one thing that would make me not rent from this person again. Right before we arrived, she told me she was going to be on a cruise and might not be in contact. Someone would have to let us in the gated community to get the keys. We did manage to get in okay. When we left, we could not find the lockbox for the keys. It turned out that our nephew who came to visit for a day thought it was a cool toy and took it. We did not know what to do, so we figured the maids or someone would have an extra set of keys. So we left the keys on the kitchen counter and locked the door. I did not hear from her for over a week. I got a message from Fipkey saying she was keeping $150 of our $500 deposit. I challenged this because I did not think a lockbox was that expensive. After emailing her, she said that she would have to get the locks changed because the maids could not find the keys. I know we had to pay for the lockbox, but we did leave the keys. As of two months, we still have not received any of our deposit. I had to file a claim with my credit card company.

Since this review has been posted the damage deposit was settled and refunded. Unfortunately the above renter did not inform me in advance that the lock box was broken on their departure. It was not discovered until the next check-in. I had to make last minute arrangements to let in guests. In addition the key was not where they said it was and in fact was never found, necessitating a key change. Since this review the house has been treated by pest control and minor repairs have been completed throughout the house.

Peaceful stay in Key Largo
I stayed at the Bayside home from 12/31/14-1/6/15 and it was wonderful. Joy and Doug were very accommodating and available for any and all questions. The place was perfect to sit and enjoy the beautiful sunsets or greet the fellow boaters passing through the canal. It was a perfect midpoint between Key West and Miami. Thanks, Joy and Doug for a wonderful stay!
