| My family and I stayed at the Sugar Shack recently and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The house was comfortable and amply provided with all necessary amenities. It was close to Key West as well as other destinations. Bill was easy to deal with and very considerate in answering all questions. We will defintely consider staying here again. |

| My family and I were very happy with our week at the Sugar Shack. The rates were very reasonable, the house was clean, and comfortable, and the owner was very easy to work with. We don't have a single complaint! It was a great week and we look forward to spending time in the Keys again. |

| The Sugar Shack is definitely a place to visit! We had such a great week at this quiet, well stocked house. We snorkeled right off the dock - seeing barricuda, lobsters and crabs. It's in easy distance to the bustle of Key West and the beach at Bahia State Park. Bill was very easy to work with. If you go, definitely have Larry take you out on his boat to your own private beach! We'll be back! |

We spent a wonderful week in the Sugar Shack. It is very well located, being near to Key West and Big Pine Key. We enjoyed the neighborhood and walked several miles each morning and evening.
The sunsets from the top deck were glorious. The area is very quiet which is important to us and the house is well-equipped. |

We have been staying at the "Sugar Shack" for the past three years and love the place. It isn't the biggest home on the block but it is a nice, quiet,comfortable place to enjoy the Lower Keys style of living. The area is quiet and safe. The residents in the area are friendly and we feel at home when we visit there. The sunsets from the second floor deck are as good as they get. Easy access to back country and reef fishing is a real asset. The owner has tried to upgrade something each yrar and is someone who"cares" about his renters. I have never met the owner,but I feel like I know him as if he were my neighbor.If you are planning to rent a quiet, comfortable place with great sunsets from the second floor deck......don't rent this place in February...........
WE WILL BE THERE!!!!!!! |

This was our second rental experience with VRBO, the first experience was marginal but working with Bill was great. Bill was always prompt to reply to our questions and his follow-up was excellent.
We agree with previous guests' comments, nice quiet location, great views, great house. We recommend this property and think others will enjoy it as much as our family did.

| This was a very spacious property with beautiful views of the water and the sunsets. It was also on a quiet street. The owner was easy to work with and gave accurate descriptions of what to expect. My family enjoyed our time here. |

| My husband and I had vacationed in Key West last year and wanted to take our children this year. We picked the SugarShack. We all loved it. My son (17) has always loved spiral staircases since he was small. We spent much time on the screened in porch watching the iguana. The kids also loved the coconut trees. My husband fished from the dock and did actually catch a few! Hope you get to go sometime!! |

| We stayed at the Sugar Shack in May for our annual trip to Key West. It was definitely a memorable vacation as we caught and released a 300lb blue marlin. We also caught several dolphin, the biggest weighing 47lbs and a 25lb wahoo. Waking up with the boat already in the water was great! We truly enjoyed our stay at the Sugar Shack! |

When we decided to run off to Key West to get Married, we needed a home base. Having never been there before this was a bit of a challenge. We choose the Sugar Shack because of it's location and views...we were not disappointed!
It was perfect! Cute, cozy, clean, in a nice quiet neighborhood, well stocked and safe. We fell in love with the Sugar Shack! The home Owner was easy to work with and very friendly. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a nice quiet place to escape still within easy driving distance to Key West and right around the corner from Big Pine and Bahia Honda. Wonderful Home! Thanks for sharing! We will be back.

| Great sunset view. This will be the third year we rented this home. The owner has upgraded every year. We like the neighborhood. 17mm is perfect for going down to Key West or up to Big Pine. Quick access to the backcountry for flats fishing and ocean fishing. The house is just in the right place. Can't wait to go back. |

| The house called the Sugar Shack for the month of January 2008 was perfect for me - a semi-retired of the "snowbird" sort taking a rest from one island in the North to another located about as far south as you can get in the USA. The nicely appointed house (just as described on this site) is in a nice, quiet area. Its amenities, view, location and convenient proximity to all that's necessary made this my best choice in the four years I've been using VRBO to find a winter house to stay for a month out of the cold. The high-speed internet connection at the Sugar Shack was reassuring to have to stay "connected" as I enjoyed all the area offers to "get away" in my favorite time in the Keys - winter. There's no need to repeat the praises of others who have left comments here, but just let me add that Bill, the Sugar Shack's owner, deserves an accolade too. He has proven to be the best person I've dealt with using VRBO, and showed a higher ethical and professional standards than any real estate rental "professional" I have encountered concerning Florida accomodations. He is a good communicator, prompt and attentive to detail, clear and honest, fair, and most importantly, I could tell Bill truly wants his guests to enjoy their special time at a place which is special to him as well - the Sugar Shack on Lower Sugarloaf Key. |

| My family and I had a wonderful stay at Sugar Shack. The house is roomy and clean, and has a screened in porch area where we had coffee and watched the birds every morning. The wildlife was abundant, and the deck on the canal made swimming, snorkeling and sunning a breeze. The sunsets were glorious. Sugarloaf Key is quiet and beautiful and was a great place for our vacation. |

| Great location with easy boating access to both the Gulf and Atlantic. House was very comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood. The dockspace was more than adequate on a very quiet canal. Only 17 miles from Key West. Already renting next year! |

| This is a great home and location for exploring all the Keys has to offer in a quiet secluded setting. The home is wonderful with lots of windows and decks that allow full view of the sunset. Very clean and well equipped. Sugarlaof is a perfect spot for exploring Key West, kayaking, snorkeling, boating, and bike riding. |

| This is a very comfortable, clean, and well-stocked house, convenient to the Lower Keys and Key West with car. The neighborhood is quiet and picturesque, and the house is a pleasant setting for relaxing and as a comfortable home base. There are plenty of good local restaurants nearby, as well as kayaking and other water sports. Check with a local marina about navigating the local waters if you intend to bring a boat, as some of the channels are quite shallow. We had a very enjoyable stay in December 2006. |
