Sun Hutt: Serene island getaway

Enjoy unmatched natural serenity during your stay at this canalfront 3 bedroom/2 bathroom home nestled in the woods of bucolic No Name Key. Perched along a canal near open water, you'll enjoy stunning sunrises and peekaboo open water views from the deck off the primary bedroom.

The main living floor features a lovely living room, fully equipped kitchen and separate dining room. There's a large screened porch and open deck. The two guest rooms -- one queen, one daybed plus trundle -- and a full bath are also on this floor. Upstairs, there's a large bedroom with king bed, en-suite bath and open deck. On the ground floor, there's an enclosed foyer, small screened room and storage area for your gear. There's a small floating dock perfect for a small boat, kayaking or paddleboarding. The boat lift is reserved for owner use.

No Name Key is sparsely populated and filled with nature trails. The famous No Name Pub is just across Bogie Channel on Big Pine Key. No Name Key is just a short bridge crossing from Big Pine Key. This part of the Lower Keys is the perfect mix of nature and convenience, with stores and restaurants surrounded by miles of biking and walking trails, subtropical and pine forests and pristine backcountry waters. The islands' National Key Deer Refuge is home to 20 endangered species, including its diminutive namesake, the Key Deer.
