Villa Marquesa was one of the first homes built on the Atlantic/ Ocean Side of Ramrod Key, in Breeze Swept Beach Estates, that's why its architecture is very distinctive and unique. The home is built on a perfect east-west / north-south axis in order to take advantage of the Tropical Caribbean Trade winds. Rarely do visitors use the air-conditioning system in winter and we have never had to use the heater!! The home is decorated in authentic Caribbean Colonial style and filled with teak and mahogany furniture which give you the feeling of staying at one of the great Caribbean Beachside Villas. The house's name is also unique and has a lot of history behind it. The name "Villa Marquesa" means the "Grand Home of the Marquis" in Spanish. The Owner's grandfather was a a Spanish Marquis and part of the Spanish Royalty and Nobility. Her family history in Spain goes back 750 years, to a time of chivalry, conquests and conquistadors.

In and around our island we have several places to eat, drink and be merry like: all within a short walking, biking or driving distance: Boondocks Grille, 5 Brothers Cuban Market and Cafe and the Looe Key Reef Tiki Bar are local favorites. They offer everything from Cuban Coffe "Bucci", Cuban sandwiches, great beers, elaborate fish entrees, miniature golf courses, a gift shops, dive tours, live daily music and weekly bar specials.

We are a few minutes by car, bike or bus to Little Torch Key: which was the famous restaurants like the Little Palm Island Resort; Big Pine Key: which has famous several bars and restaurants like the No Name Pub, and a grocery store: Winn Dixie in the Deer Key Shopping Mall. On Summerland and Cudjoe Keys there are several fish markets, resturants, and bars to choose from, and the Square Group on Cudjoe Key is a must.

Also we can put your in contact with several deep water or flats fishing guides, kayak rentals, nature / history / ghost tour guides, massage studios, bike rentals or maid services.
