Mercy,
Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed your great (and clean) home. It's in a perfect location. It was so nice to have the boat right there at the dock and to be able to cool off in the pool after a day of fishing. The outside bar was great for relaxing in the evenings with a few cocktails! We hope to come back next year.

Dear Mercy & Jose,
We had the nicest six weeks at your lovely, cozy, and CLEAN home. We have loads of pictures to keep our memories . The accomodations were more than adequate. The temperature was perfect while we were there, but March was very windy. However we had plenty to do -swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub, watch the weather channel on the outside TV, or read under the Tiki hut. The location is perfect for grocery shopping and plenty of places to wine and dine. We did most of our cooking on the beautiful tiled grill area.
We were entertained by igunas, manatees, geckos, egrets, and cats.
We will certainly return. You my use our name for a recommendation. |

| This vacation home is an absolute gem. It is an older home which has been totally updated by the Sanchez family. If dyou want the ambiance of the Keys with its tropical flavoring this is for you. Where else can you walk out the back door, climb in your boat, be out in the crystal blue atlantic in about 20 minutes and catch dinner. When you return to the dock just relax under the lanai with a cool one. If the weather gets a little bad just fish off the dock for great fun. If your fortunate as we were the manatees come into the canal and you get to experience the best of nature. This is a fantastic place for the vacation of a lifetime and we thank Mercy and Jose for providing us with the opportunity. You guys get a big BOOYAH and we're definitely coming back in 2007. |

Dear Mercy,
My family and I had such a wonderful time at your "cozy keys home"! We especially enjoyed the tiki hut and new bar area. The location of your property was very convenient to all that Islamorada has to offer and it was especially nice to have our boat in the canal. I look foward to returning this summer if my work permits!
Sincerly,

We really appreciate when people leave their comments and they said how much they have enjoyed our home.

Dear Mercy:
My apologies for not been able to write directly into your guestbook, however I am sending it to you by mail, so that it can be added by you.
We have really enjoyed our stay and plan to return again. The house is conveniently located for all our destinations, specially those we visited while here.Having our boat tied up only a few feet away (via New Tiki Hut) was very nice. I especially enjoyed access to Founders Park and the "doggie park". Being able to bring our family incl. our small dog- cut down on stress for him and for ME! The teeneagers had a great time!!!! We enjoyed the facilities and again, we plan to return in the future. Feel free to give out my cell number if anyone needs a reference from your vacation home!
Sincerely,

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderfull home in the Keys. For 20 years I have been going to the Keys, staying in hotels, but never again! Your home was the best experience we have ever had in the Keys. It was so comfortable, clean, and peacefull.
We enjoyed your fantastic home, and your inviting back yard. Boating access was great, and we had a GREAT time! I hope to stay at your place again, as do my friends!

Hi Mercy
We are now back home and I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay.Everything went as planned and we had no problems at your place. Your house is very comfortable with all the amenities and the right size. I can't imagin living in one of those huge places that you see in the area, to much to look after. Your house is the perfect size. We found the pool very nice for cooling off, the sun can be very intence there. We are cooler climate people and its quite a change. We did all the things we planned to, scuba diving, rented a boat and snorkled and swam on bay side, saw lots of wild life, biked every day, great shopping, toured,relaxed, made nice meals and more, so it all worked out very good. Upon leaving we did a general cleanup, washed all the bedding we used and generally put things back as we found them, we watered plants periodically, put clorine tabs in pool dispencer etc. The keys were left in the location as requested.
We had a fabulous 11 days with many choices to do things.
Thanks very much and you can likely expect to see us again!!

Hi Mercy,
Thank you for allowing us to use your rental home. We had a fabulous vacation. We visit the Keys with our boat as often as possible, either for a long weekend or for an extended stay. We cannot tell you how much we enjoyed the clean, comfortable accomodations. The neighborhood ramp was easy to find and well maintained. The dock and outdoor patio area at the house was just perfect. It was a pleasure from our first contact with you until we had to leave. We'll be back as soon as we can.
Thanks again,

Dear Mr. Brainard & family:
Thanks for your warm and caring words, we loved sharing our "vacation home" with people like you and being able to extend hospitality to our guests. I am glad you find everything comfortable including the ramp and dock for your boat. Our back yard is going on remodeling next month as we want to make our backyard the center and most important area of our home. Plans such as a new Tiki Hut with bar,a bigger pool and a hot tub are coming in 2005. It was a pleasure to serve you with your lodging needs.You and your family are welcome to our home. Take care and may God bless you and your family.
Best regards,
Mercy & Joe Sanchez

Mercy,
Thank you for the very quick return of my security deposit. Also, thank you again for renting us your wonderful home. I have been visiting the Keys for nearly 20 years now staying in everything from campgrounds to hotels to rental homes. Your place certainly ranks among the very nicest and most comfortable. Feel free to have any prospective renters contact me for a recommendation.

My family and I spent Christmas 2003 in this truly lovely
vacation retreat. The house was beautifully decorated,
squeaky clean and had all the amenities needed for a
Florida Keys vacation. The outdoor bath was both
fun and functional, and the gazebo with cooking
facilities was great for us because we wanted to
spend a lot of time outside. It was especially nice to bring
our small dog with us. The landlord was friendly
and accommodating. We had so much fun we want
to do it again! I recommend it highly.

The four months I stayed here, while doing my training at Theater of the Sea, was very enjoyable. The house was perfect and meet all my needs. Anything that went wrong was taken care of immediately (as when we ran out of BBQ's propane gas). I enjoyed the wildlife in the backyard especially to see and feed (shhhhh...) the manatees. I enjoyed the time I spent here in the keys and it will always be in my heart as part of being home. I really enjoyed relaxing in the backyard watching TV under the gazebo!!! also I loved to eat at Sundowners and Sr. Frijoles in K.Largo. Kayaking at Pennekamp in the weekends and visiting Key West for something different! Here in the keys is like: "have it your way!" doing too much or just simply relaxing and sun bathing while grilling your favor in your own backyard! Thanks again,
Danielle & Linda

Dear Mercy and Joe:
We had a wonderful time at your place, the house was lovely and perfect for us. We were able to explore the Keys, Hemingway House in Key West and visit John Pennekamp's reef in Key Largo. We love kayaking at Lignunvitae Key.
We are thinking of the way we could live in the keys. It's a lovely dream world. Thanks for letting us use your "summer cove"!

Thanks a lot for letting us use your home away from home.It was wonderful and we treated as our own. Everything worked beautifully, we especially enjoyed the new outside shower bathroom. It was nice to be able to clean up and then come inside the house. Looking forward to maybe visiting you next year.
