A little slice of heaven in the Florida Keys. The best way to describe a stay at Castaway Vacation Rentals isn’t through our words—it’s through the experiences of the guests who’ve made our homes part of their Islamorada memories.
Whether you’re escaping the winter, working remotely, planning a family vacation, or simply searching for a quieter pace of life, we’re honored to have welcomed guests from across the country. Here’s what they have to say.
★★★★★
“Our favorite Islamorada rental”
“We’ve stayed in Islamorada several times, and this was by far our favorite rental. You can tell it’s locally owned and genuinely cared for. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and communication was exceptional from the day we booked until checkout. We loved starting each morning with coffee on the beach and ending our evenings around the waterfront fire pits. We’re already looking at dates for next year.”
★★★★★
“A month that truly felt like home”
“We spent over a month here and truly felt at home. Having access to the resort pool, private beach, complimentary kayaks and paddleboards made every day feel like vacation. The owners were incredibly responsive and offered fantastic local recommendations that helped us discover places we never would have found on our own.”
★★★★★
“The location couldn’t have been better”
“The location couldn’t have been better. Everything we wanted to do in Islamorada was just minutes away, yet the property itself felt peaceful and secluded. Watching the sunset from the beach every evening became our favorite tradition.”
★★★★★
“Resort amenities made the difference”
“The resort amenities are what really separate this property from other vacation rentals. We used the pool almost daily, took the paddleboards out several times, and loved relaxing around the fire pits after dinner. It felt like having all the perks of a luxury resort while still enjoying the privacy of our own home.”
★★★★★
“Exceptionally clean and well managed”
“We’ve rented homes throughout the Florida Keys, and this was one of the cleanest and best-managed properties we’ve ever experienced. The owners clearly take pride in providing an exceptional guest experience, and it shows in every detail.”
★★★★★
“Perfect for an extended stay”
“Perfect for our extended stay. Reliable internet made working remotely easy, while the beach, marina, and beautiful grounds made it equally easy to disconnect once the workday was over. We couldn’t have asked for a better balance.”
★★★★★
“Even better than the photos”
“Everything looked exactly like the photos—if not better. Comfortable furnishings, thoughtful touches throughout the home, and a wonderful sense of peace the moment we arrived. We immediately felt like we belonged here.”
★★★★★
“Hospitality that felt personal”
“This wasn’t just another vacation rental—it felt like staying at a friend’s beautiful Keys home. The owners made us feel genuinely welcome, and every recommendation they gave us—from restaurants to fishing charters—was spot on.”
★★★★★
“Quiet mornings on the private beach”
“The private beach was our favorite place to spend the mornings, while afternoons were usually at the pool or exploring the water with the complimentary kayaks. We loved that we could enjoy resort-style amenities without ever feeling crowded.”
★★★★★
“We can’t wait to come back”
“We’ve already recommended Castaway Vacation Rentals to friends and family. Beautiful homes, outstanding hospitality, an unbeatable Islamorada location, and resort amenities that make every day feel special. We can’t wait to come back.”
Why book with us
Every home here is owned and cared for by people who live and work in the Florida Keys. When you book direct you talk to them, not a call centre — and you keep the money that would otherwise disappear into booking-platform service fees.
Booking sites add a guest service fee to every reservation. Booking direct removes that layer entirely, so the rate you are quoted is the rate you pay.
Questions about dockage, the golf cart, whether your dog is welcome or which home suits a six-month stay get answered by the person who owns it.
Extended stays, arrival dates that fall outside a rigid calendar and month-to-month arrangements are all worth a conversation.
Where the fish are running, which marina to call, who to book a charter with, where to eat on a Tuesday in September. We live here.
