We can accommodate one boat under 20 ft. for an additional $30 per day. The nearby park provides convenient boat launching. The ramp is free on weekdays, with a launch fee on weekends.

Vehicle Condition & Amenities

Renters consistently highlight the excellent state of the camper, describing it as "beautiful," "comfy," and even "brand new." Its "new condition" and "very clean and comfortable" aspects are frequently praised, making for a pleasant stay. Guests also appreciate that the camper is "equipped well for preparing breakfast & lunch," and that "everything we needed" was ready, allowing them to easily "unpack and enjoy." This attention to the vehicle's quality and thoughtful provisioning greatly enhanced their experience.

Location & Privacy

A standout feature for many renters is the rental's exceptional "private and secluded getaway." Reviewers consistently note the "super private neighborhood" and the feeling of being "alone in a Keys paradise" due to its clever positioning next to an empty lot. Despite this seclusion, the location is "convenient to everything in Tavernier" and "close to everything keys," with nearby attractions like Harry Harris Park and quiet areas "good for walking or biking." This unique blend of privacy and accessibility is highly valued.

We did a stationary rental from Kelly. They have positioned the camper in their side yard that gives the most privacy & have fashioned a lovely site for sitting outside. There was plenty of room for parking our truck. From The Refuge we explored the area. Went as far north as the Everglades National Park 1.5 hour north & south to Marathon about 1.5 hours as well. Lots of great good nearby both ocean & gulf views. The little beach at Islamorada town park was very nice & park entry includes their pool. Camper was just the right size for 2 people & was equipped well for preparing breakfast & lunch.

Love Kelly, very grateful for the experience. It would be great if cleaning and site fee and even stationary insurance were included in nightly fee so that it would be easier to compare apples to apples with hotel prices before beginning to book. The camper is beautiful, comfy, & a short walk to Harry Harris Park. The beach still isn't open yet due to hurricane Irma repairs, but there is a great state park (John Pennecamp with Far & Cannon beaches) 22 min north and Anne's Beach a little further south.

The Refuge is a very private and secluded getaway yet convenient to everything in Tavernier. We opted to stay at the owners private property and not use it at a campground which is an option given by the owners. The owners have provided everything you’ll need for your stay. The refuge was in new condition and very clean and comfortable. Our vacation was perfect!!

What a great place to stay! It really is a 'Refuge'. We took advantage of the 'onsite' rental the owners offer. The RV is on a lot adajacent to the owners property. It is situated next to an empty lot that gives you the sense you are alone in a Keys paradise. The area is quiet, good for walking or biking and there is a county waterfront park close by. Kelly was very responsive to any and all questions we had prior to confirming our rental. When we arrived the RV was ready to move in - AC running and everything we needed ready for our stay. Just upack and enjoy the Fabulous Florida Keys. Great experience! We will definitely plan another stay in the 'Refuge'.
