Kawama Yacht Club Vacation Rental

Kawama Yacht Club sits at 1500 Ocean Bay Drive on the ocean side of Key Largo, a private gated community along the southern boundary of John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, which means the most visited underwater park in the Keys is effectively next door.

The grounds are the reason people come back. There are three swimming pools, four small beaches, two lighted tennis courts, a playground, barbecue areas and a four-and-a-half-acre saltwater lagoon stocked with tropical fish, which is an unusual thing to find inside a residential community and an easy place to put a mask on without getting in a boat. The gate is staffed around the clock.

For boats, Molasses Reef Marina sits on the property with a boat ramp, and some units come with dock access.

[Unit detail to be added: which unit or units this partner rents, how many bedrooms and bathrooms, how many it sleeps, whether it has a dock slip, which building or whether it is a villa or townhome, and the view.]

Beyond the gate, the dive and snorkel fleet of upper Key Largo is minutes away, and the whole island chain runs south from the driveway.
