We spent the month of December at the Hideaway and found it to be immaculately clean, comfortably furnished, and super well equipped. Especially during the holidays, it was so nice to find a real assortment of baking and cooking tools and utensils.The home itself is an older keys home, impeccably maintained, in a quiet key, surrounded by nature preserve. You are an hour from Key West and 15 minutes from the closest stores of Big Pine.The owner was very responsive. The use a third party (iTrip) app added an additional layer to the communication but was not a problem. We had a wonderful, restful time there.

Great Time!
We had a great time at this home. There is plenty of parking for vehicles and trailers, and the location for boating is incredible. It's very private, and well off the beaten path, so you really feel like you're on your own little island. We had great interactions with our neighbors as well - it's a charming little neighborhood. We had a couple small issues, but management corrected them quickly. We would stay here again.

Nothing more then wonderful
The Hideaway home couldn’t have been more perfect!
It was the perfect size for my family and I from the bedrooms and the pullout bed. The outdoor space was amazing! The house was extremely clean and was provided all out essentials.
We can not wait to stay again!
