Thanks Darrell & Jackie for hosting our annual Keys trip in your beautiful home! The home was very clean, cozy and well equipped to serve as our home away from home for our annual trip to the Keys. Our children and granddaughters were able to join us for a few days, and we were pleasantly surprised that the home was equipped with toys and games to keep the children occupied on a rainy morning! It was very refreshing to have a property that has kids in mind! The backyard was great, and the gated yard was a safe and secure spot to keep our boat each night. The private boat ramp was a plus, and the route in and out of the area was easily navigable. The Key Largo area is a great home base for reef hopping. We managed to snorkel, Grecian Rocks, Christ of the Abyss, Minnow Caves, Molasses Reef, French Reef and Carysfort Reef and Lighthouse, We also managed to get on a good Yellowtail bite just outside the reef, and ran offshore late in the week to get in on the hot Mahi bite! We managed to land a few keepers just 7 miles outside the reef in 500 feet of water. When we arrived on Saturday, we were greeted by a very pleasant Jackie, who immediately made us feel at home, and had the home and property ready to go! Thanks again for making our trip another pleasant experience! Ken & Lara Jacksonville, FL
Very nice house. Well decorated. Very clean. Darrell and Jackie respond to any and all questions/concerns quickly. Very convenient to Pennekamp. Plenty of space and storage area. Loved the layout especially the kitchen. Has all the amenities of home. Did I mention how clean it was? Only problem we had were the dishes wouldn’t put themselves up from the dishwasher . ????
We had a fantastic week staying here with friends. Home is beautifully decorated and very well cared for. Had delicious steaks on the grill in the back yard that is setup great! Lots of room for parking. You wont find nicer owners then Darrell & Jackie!! Thanks to both of them for making our week perfect!! We will be back! :)
Every year we visit the Florida Keys at least once. This year was speacial because we didn’t felt like we was away from our home in New York. It was so clean with all you can ask for. The decor makes you feel right at home literally. It was in the middle of all attractions and amenities you need. Very easy to find right of Overseas Highway. My family looked forward to spending a peaceful evening after a long adventurous days from the Everglades to Key West !!!! Oh did I mention it was very very clean. Lol. Thank you for opening your lovely home for us to stay. We are back home in New York and our stay is all we can talk about. When ever you leave your home to vacation somewhere else you want to feel at home and that what the Ratliff’s gave us. Peace of mind. We will return next year no questions about that. See you next year.!!!!!
We stayed in Jackie\'s and Darrel\'s house over the Christmas break 2017/2018. Very nice house, the owners supplied us literally with everything we could need including some groceries! It was really nice! We had a great time Kayaking the mangroves and lakes. The place to put in kayaks was just across the street at the neighbor\'s dock. The neighborhood was safe and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We would gladly come back and recommend this house to any of our friends!
