Peaceful, Easy Feeling in Paradise!

My husband and I stayed in the Bay Villa for our week long honeymoon.... WOW...absolutely incredible! Charlie and Terry were sooooo friendly and welcoming and are the perfect hosts. Everyday we would see different marine life at the dock, the kayaks were put to good use and the cottage was well furnished and stocked. We will definitely be back with our children! A huge thank you to Charlie and Terry for making our honeymoon so memorable and for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Christmas in the keys

My wife and I were lucky enough to rent the bay villa over Christmas week. We had a wonderful time. The villa was very nice and comfortable. Charlie and Terry were great host and made us feel very welcome. The villa is very well stocked and has comfortable seating inside and out. And a beautiful view out across the water. We didn't want to leave but we will be back.

Open Water Paradise

Have you ever read reviews where the person starts out by saying something like 'I didn't really want to write a review because I wanted to keep this place to myself'. I always thought that those type of comments were a little on the selfish side. I mean if you stayed some place that you really liked then why not write a nice favorable review right? Then my wife and I stayed about 11 nights in the Garden Villa at Sue's Promise last month in January. Now I don't think those comments are so selfish any more. However I do not mind sharing. Sue's Promise is a private tropical beach house. It has 2 downstairs Villas. Owner is Charlie and his wife Terry. They are SO nice. Best of all Sue's Promise is NOT ON A CANAL. If you know anything about the Keys the vast majority of vacation rentals are although advertised as waterfront are actually located on some small canal with the neighbors right on top of you. Not at Sue's Promise though. This is a real open water front beauty. Very private as well. I used to live for many years in the Caribbean on an island off the coast of Honduras and I must say that the foliage (coconut palms, sea grapes, orchids and etc.) and wild/sea life (iguanas, spotted rays, colorful tropical fish, manatees and etc.) are very similar right there at Sue's Promise. We felt like we were 'back home'. The Garden Villa itself is good sized and very adequately stocked with start up supplies of basic essentials. So nice not to have to run to the store immediately for coffee or whatever. Needless to say we will be returning hopefully sometime this year. Thanks again Charlie and Terry!! What a gem you have......
