As much as it is the “dream” to have an island in a far off foreign land there is something to be said for having an island in your own country which is why Sea Shell Key is the ideal island for the average American.

Also known as Pretty Joe Rock Sea Shell Key is located in the heart of the Florida Keys! Conveniently located in Marathon, Sea Shell Key is also known as Pretty Joe Rock. This quaint Keys island is surrounded by the sparkling turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

The island home features, air conditioning, bamboo and rattan furniture, ceiling fans and TV/VCR. The living room offers a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams and a mix of wood and tile flooring. The master suite features a queen size bed and a sunken Jacuzzi tub with walk-in double head shower. The second bedroom has a full bed draped in tropical netting. French doors lead from the great room to the screened front porch and to a side covered deck, which is ideal for watching the sunrise or set. This is the perfect way to begin or end your day in the Keys.

The home is surrounded by landscaped boardwalks and an ancient exposed reef features native vegetation such as black mangroves, sea grapes, and pitch apples, which attract a variety of migrating birds. In the water around the island, guests will occasionally be greeted by dolphins, manatees, parrot and angel fish all swimming in the crystal clear warm waters. We include an outboard run-about boat for your use, kayaks, fishing gear and snorkel gear are available upon request to complete your island adventure.
