We stayed at the Laguna Key home “Living the Dream”. This home is very fitting of its name! Laguna Key is so peaceful and this home has stunning views of the lagoon and you can still see the Gulf from the front porches. Highly recommend this home!

Living the Dream! This home was perfect in every way for our family vacation and I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! The photos do not do it justice. The community was beautiful, quiet and very family friendly. The screened in back porch overlooking the lagoon was a peaceful way to start the morning while enjoying a cup of coffee. It was nice to come back from the beach and enjoy the pool. We will for sure be booking this property again in the future.

Book it now! Everything about this home is amazing. The gated community and private beach was perfect. Our family of 10 fit comfortably and still had room for a few more. We will without a doubt book this home again.

Our extended family of 10 just rented “Living the Dream” . The house was wonderful and Harris Vacations was very responsive to any issues we had. Our littles loved the pool and we all loved the amenities at Laguna Key. We hope to return soon!

House was great and very well stocked. Perfectly accommodated 4 families and kids. Only blip was we were under the impression from contract that pool was heated and golf cart included. Didn’t get question about pool answered until right before check in and golf cart is extra charge. Golf cart was very handy for getting everyone to beach etc! Would rent house again!

We had an absolutely incredible time at 'Living the Dream' with our family and friends! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with breathtaking views of Little Lagoon. The beach access was a huge plus, and we spent our days swimming, building sandcastles, and watching stunning sunsets. The well-equipped kitchen made cooking family meals a breeze, and the outdoor grill was perfect for our poolside barbecues. We can't say enough about our wonderful stay here – it truly exceeded our expectations.

We have stayed at Laguna Key for several years , but this was the best place that we have stayed. The screened in porch was a favorite place for our group with its great views of the lagoon. The close proximity to the beach and a golf cart to help carry items was awesome. The private pool was also very nice and many a game of cornhole was played there too. The house was very clean and comfortable and thank you for letting us stay. We plan to be back!

We absolutely loved this home. Perfect location, perfect views, perfect amenities. The floor plan was so great and had so much charm. Plenty of room for our extended family. The kids swam in the pool from sun up to sun down with beach in between. So Many extras. Clean, organized and cozy.

Great location away from the traffic, private beach a plus. Need a light by the BBQ pit, and heater for the pool. It was cold this Spring Break ‘23. Sound system would be great too. This house has everything, highly recommend…. Those items were just thoughts when it’s cold an you have to stay in.

Living the Dream was completely true. It was late in the evening when we arrived. We easily found our way around the house and settled in for the night. Little did we know that the next morning reveal why this home is called \"Living the Dream\". When we awoke the next morning it was like waking up in a dream! The house was very clean and well appointed with all the things we would need to enjoy the week. The location was perfect for our family to feel both secluded and connected. The private beach was steps away and the convenience of a short ride to dinner was perfect. Of course, we still had to work remotely that week. The views while working was purely amazing and internet speed was great too. I would admit that we found it hard to focus on work while knowing the kids were having so much fun. In the evenings the family enjoyed swimming in the private pool while the burgers and steaks sizzled on the grill. Daily walks on the beach with the family and fishing with my son in the lagoon made all the stress of life melt away. Our family cannot wait to get back to Living the Dream! See you soon!
