The property is ideally situated, providing convenient access to key destinations within the Florida Keys. While the residence may benefit from some modernization, its value proposition remains highly competitive.
We have been coming here for the past few years, usually during Memorial Day. We are always so relaxed and pleased with all aspects of our stay. Already working on booking again for next year!
Beautiful serene, location, located close enough to Key West and also nice restaurants in the area and close to Bahia Honda State Park, which was beautiful and the key deer areas.
Cottage 1 was right by the water. A walk down a long path to a dock was a nightly trip to watch the sunset. Located between Marathon Key and Key West was perfect for restaurants and stores without the crowding from tourists. About 20-30 minutes to Key West

Place was very clean. The property is in need of upkeep and updating. It was hit in the last hurricane.
This is a lovely location with a lovely view. The cottage itself is adequate; we pretty much just slept there. But it needs repair and refreshing. It was as clean as it could be for its aged appearance. The wire shelves need to go, we needed additional towel racks, there were no hangers. There were no pillow cases on the pillows in the shams. I wouldn't have cooked in the kitchen. I'd go back if it was fixed up!
This is a little quaint cottage excellent for a couples getaway. About 20 mins to Key West. We loved the big patio and the dock through the mangroves. We didn’t cook but ate at the Broil Steakhouse literally across the street two nights for dinner. Great property and a fun little cottage. They have houses, duplexes, a house with a pool and a shared pool. Overall would definitely recommend and will be back in the future.
Arrival and check in was easy. Property was clean and easy to find. We only stayed one night due to the pending weather (Hurricane Milton). Mega Cudos and Appreciation to the Host as our trip was fully refunded! We are planning to return in 2025.

Clean but needs updating
The House was clean. But could use some updating.
Enjoyed our visit.
The bungalow was the perfect size for a couple. Like many reviews state, it requires some repairs and updates. For instance, the blinds were broken in many places. We also had trouble with pests while staying there because the back door didn’t close properly. Despite that, the house had everything we needed for our stay and the host was responsive.

Did not meet expectations
Our first impression as we entered was surprise. I am incredibly surprised people are giving this place 10’s. When I rent I rely on others ratings and reviews. The first thing noted is the pictures on the listing are NOT accurate. There is a plastic table with 3 plastic chairs on the patio, not the cute furniture in the photo on the listing. The screened porch has a tear in the screen, high above the door, so it must have happened when someone was working there. Mosquitoes were already present in the area and to my dismay inside the house. There are gaps in the back doorway and what they have tried to repair is with duct tape, in the kitchen and bathroom windows. There are cupboard doors missing and cute touches of decorations that were not like that in the listing photos. There was dirt on at least one wall. The furniture was stained,, 2 small chairs and the couch. The furniture is completely different color than in the listing. The bed “squeaked ” as if it was rubbery?! The dust ruffle was filthy, although the bedding appeared clean, thankfully. 1 lightbulb out of 3 worked in the bedroom. No hangers available. Only 1 nightstand, I made a makeshift one from our suitcases. No supplies, for example Saran Wrap, I know that may be a “luxury”, but every place I’ve stayed has basic supplies. Who travels with items like that?!.the microwave was new but difficult to figure out. My husband had to fix the toilet, luckily he is handy. Now for the positive, quiet and great shower.
Perfect little place for the 2 of us and our dog. Plenty of area to walk the dog. Susan was very responsive when we were able to arrive 1day early and with any questions. Thanks for a great visit!
This place was exactly what my husband and I wanted for our 40th anniversary . A good spot to stay, not far from beaches and Key West . Would stay again!
