We had a great time! The cottage is definitely a no thrills option but worked great for a weekend getaway in the keys. The area is about a 40-45 min drive from Key West but there are plenty of great restaurants, boat & jet ski rentals and things to do around the area.
Basic place to crash after fishing all day. It was April, not too warm and the AC in the big bedroom was just fair. Wouldn’t want to be in there over the summer. Again, basic accommodations, a little pricey for what you get, but was satisfactory, just not when it’s hot.
The cottage was in a perfect location for exploring the lower Keys and Key West. It was clean and very comfortable. The restaurant down the road had good food. We will return again.
The cottage is rustic. The amenities are sparse but doable. There was a dead roach in the bathroom and the floor under the garbage was filhty. There is 1 space heater but no extra blanketdblanketsblankets.
Cottage definitely needs some attention/updating. Lock was broken and locked us out briefly. Property manager addressed this immediately. Location is good with water access and sunrise views. Walk to Kiki's is a bonus.
I wasn’t expecting anything fancy here, but it was worse than I would have thought. When we got here it was stifling hot inside. We were able to adjust one of the a/c units, but were unable to adjust the other (in the bedroom). I messaged the host around 7pm to ask what we could do to cool it down and she responded asking where we were staying (which I thought she would have known, since that information was two texts up in the messages). I responded with the address around 7:45pm. She responded the next morning telling me how to adjust the a/c in the bedroom, which helped, but it would have been nice to know before we purchased a box fan to help cool us down while we slept. The sun room doesn’t have a/c and the knobs were removed from the windows so we couldn’t open them to get a cross breeze. The bathroom is where the worst of the issues are. The walls are bowing and cracking from apparent water damage and it looks like there’s mold. Also, the windows in the shower and toilet room are uncovered. The toilet isn’t a big deal, as it’s lower, but the neighbors and anyone walking by could see me from the chest up while I showered. It looked like at some point someone stapled a towel over the window, which had been taken down. I used a closet hanger to hang a towel over the window. Also, if you are bringing a dog be careful with what they find. My dog found a ketchup packet and bottle cap under the bed. Also a baby gecko and some bugs, but that’s to be expected in Florida.
We had the best time at this little house! It’s so small and quaint and perfect for a couple! We love walking around the street and sitting out by the water. I highly recommend this little house. It’s an older house, but it was very clean and kept up nice.
Pleasant cottage in the keys. Everything was clean, centrally located in the islands a d a stones throw from looe key dive center. Easy check in with a small kitchen. Would definitely recommend!

I have lived in the Florida Keys for over 40 years, as I say, "I live and love the Florida Keys!" I love the water and everything about it. If you have never been here, you will fall in love, if you have been here, you know what I'm talking about...
Why they chose this property
My personal home is on the open water on Little Torch, this location is a straight shot to Looe Key Reef, for some of the best snorkeling, diving and fishing. And if you're just out for a boat ride and a relaxing day with friend, you are close to Marvin Key and the Content Keys.
What makes this property unique
Casual, unique, relaxing, open water sunrise views.
