Gated Home July 4 | Dock, Heated Pool & 2 Pools | Pet-OK

Welcome to HeartofMorada!

Step into a private world in Islamorada's most coveted location.

Super clean and comfortable stay

This was a comfy stay with many nice features including small outdoor pool on patio. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked with many spices for cooking. Beds were super comfy too with tv in all rooms. Short walk to dock. Home is in a cute, gated street offering secure, private space to relax and enjoy. Great sunset views at the docks. This is a very nice place and we recommend.

Wonderful place and home

The house was amazing and had all of the amenities needed on a vacation. Beds were extremely comfortable, and it was a plus that each bedroom had its own bathroom. We loved the plunge pool, as well as the community pool a few steps away. Shops and a few local restaurants were within walking distance. We would definitely return for a future visit.

Fantastic Stay – Highly Recommend!

We had a wonderful two-week stay at this rental! The owners truly go above and beyond to make sure guests have everything they need. Having access to kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, bikes, and a boat dock made our trip so convenient and fun. The location is fantastic, with plenty of places within walking distance. Plus, it’s dog-friendly, which was a huge bonus for us! The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped—we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend and would love to stay again! Thanks Mark and Doli!!

5-star experience

As promised, this home lived up to the hype. We walked to a few of our meals and made use of the kayaks and paddleboard which were provided. The home has top of the line everything and while there were 1 or 2 hiccups, the owner resolved them quickly. We've stayed at a few other similar homes in nearby subdivisions but none as nice as this!

Heart of Morada

This is a beautiful, clean, nicely furnished property. Location is perfect - close to all the restaurants we love. Complete with dockage for our rental boat, we enjoyed fishing, snorkeling, and sunset cruises. Property owner was very cordial and responsive. We used our private pool and the community pool as well. Our 17 yr old daughter loved this place too. Highly recommend this property. Thank you Heart of Morada!
