Beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was clean and we thought the towel swans were a nice touch. The only issue that we had was Alexa kept making a random wind chime sound.
We absolutely loved this place! We found the rooms were comfortable and clean and we were close to many attractions. We would definitely stay here again!
Key Lime Cottage was a perfect escape for us. A comfortable place to relax and a perfect launching pad for other adventures in the Keys.The dip pool (a hot tub sized pool that is not heated but was a comfortable temperature) was an unexpected highlight of our stay..a convenient place to enjoy some time in the water relaxing or doing gentle exercises on our own private patio.
The place is lovely, well furnished and clean. The issues we had is that none of the blinds can be opened and we could not change the heat/cool settings for the house. Also need more flatware in the kitchen.

Loved your home. We wish had warmer weather to enjoy the dip pool more then once. But we could not figure out how to stop Alexis from door bells, wind chimes sounds. Did learn to ignore it. Would like to come back because location was perfect for all we did.
We had a great visit here! We were attending a conference at Hawks Cay and the VRBO was super convenient. Very clean, plenty of space for our group of 3, and the patio out back was great for relaxing.
We frequently travel to Duck key, this condo was clean and inviting upon arrival, we enjoyed the view, dip pool and all amenities. We would stay here again.
We loved the condo! We didn’t use the “dip pool” but very much enjoyed the great patio. The condo is conveniently located to everything in the keys, was very clean and a lovely, quiet retreat.
This place was perfect. Very comfortable and exactly as advertised. Would highly recommend.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
While the apartment was what we had in mind for furnishings, there was no salt or sugar in the kitchen no detergent for the washer, so could not wash towels as requested. Scenic water views was a dark canal with yachts. Exit from bath to bedrm caused me to break a toe on the bed leg;darkwood next to dark floor with little distance from the wall. We felt trapped with no access to the shore w/out driving off the key.
