Description Description
Drop anchor and let the good life begin. Situated on the waterfront shores of Sugarloaf Key, THE COMMODORE'S REFUGE puts you in the heart of the Lower Keys — a quieter, more authentic slice of island life. With direct water access, serious dock space, private tiki hut, a sparkling pool, and a private pickleball court, this is the kind of place where your only hard decision is whether to cast a line, take a dip, or challenge someone to a match. Paired with Last Key Realty's Five-Star Guest Services, your month at THE COMMODORE’S REFUGE will be exactly what life in the Keys is all about.

THE LOCATION...

The Commodore’s Refuge is located at Mile Marker 17 on Lower Sugarloaf Key. You'll be only a 20-minute drive or Uber ride from Key West, and the commute is beautiful: sapphire blue waters on either side of the road. Best of all, you have restaurant and entertainment options within minutes of your front door. Take a leisurely stroll or bike ride to Keys favorite, South of Seven, for fresh seafood and live music. You’ll also be within a few minutes of the local favorites Square Grouper and Baby’s Coffee.

THE LIVING AREA & KITCHEN...

THE COMMODORE'S REFUGE was made for kicking back after a day on the water. Sink into the comfortable captain’s chairs or plush chairs in the living room, flip on YouTube TV, and let the evening come to you. The open concept design ensures everyone in your group feels connected, whether they are lounging on the couch or preparing a home-cooked meal.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything the group's chef could ask for, including a wine chiller to keep your sunset pours perfectly cold. Whether you're fueling up for a full day of fishing or lingering over a late morning breakfast, this kitchen is ready for whatever you have in mind.

THE PRIVATE POOL, TIKI & PICKLEBALL COURT…

The crown jewel of THE COMMODORE’S REFUGE is the outdoor space, making you feel as if you’ve rented your own private resort. After a morning out on the water, there's nothing better than cooling off in your own private pool. Equipped with both a heater and a chiller, the pool is perfect year-round — keep it refreshing on a warm Keys afternoon or take the edge off on a cooler winter evening. Looking to get out of the sun and relax in the summertime breeze? Look no further than under your private tiki hut, located poolside with a private bar and flat-screen TV.

Serve up some friendly competition on the private pickleball court — a rare find in a Keys vacation rental and one the whole group will love. Pickleball equipment is provided, so just bring your competitive spirit and get ready for a match (or a rematch). It's the perfect way to start the morning before the day's adventures begin.

THE WATERFRONT & DOCK...

THE COMMODORE'S REFUGE offers waterfront views and generous dock space — with approximately 40 feet of dockage available to guests (the owner's boats rest on their own boat lift). You'll have everything you need to make the most of the surrounding waters. The expansive driveway also has ample room for boat trailers, an RV, or multiple vehicles, even with the owner's trailers in place.
