We have stayed at this house 3 times with our 4 young daughters. We think it's a great vacation home. The house is comfortable,very clean and well maintained. The owner's are very easy to work with. We can't wait to come stay here again. Restaurants we enjoy are The Hideaway for great Steak, Sparky's for fish taco's and The Island has great cocunut shrimp.

We really enjoyed the extremely clean and fully updated home. Peaceful, central location within the Keys made for a great trip. John, the owner, was very responsive and pleasant to deal with. Would rent this property again, no question.

This place was immaculate. It fit 7 people comfortably. It was in a good location for travel around the Keys, and it was a great place to ride bikes. The owners were easy to work with. We just wish that we could have stayed longer. If we return to the Keys, this would be our first pick of places to stay

Amazing home on the water.Very clean and refreshing, would never know it was a rental.The decor is beautiful and the house has everything you need.I especially enjoyed that the house is protected from all the heavy winds that blow. The pine tree outside is full of pelicans flying in and out of there nests. I would come back any time.Absolutely loved it!

Beautiful, relaxing home

This is a beautiful home that is tastefully decorated with a nice open floor plan. We had a very nice relaxing visit and enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the action in the canal. The home is equipment with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this home for a vacation rental.

Excellent location! Particularly for boaters, but really for anyone that enjoys being on the water. The house is lovely; well decorated and very well furnished with all the comforts of home. It's located on a wide canal and has ample dock space (we tethered two 21' boats side by side with no problem). Our favorite spot was the 2nd floor balcony (that runs nearly the entire length of the house) - nice place to gather - plenty of bird and just enough boat traffic to keep things interesting. Hawk's Cay Marina offers a ramp (for a very minimal fee). There's a restaurant and a little store at the Marina and it's just a short drive to Key West. Six of us stayed very comfortably and we're all in agreement that we'd definitely return!

Perfect location

I recently stayed at this rental and was very pleased how clean it was and how everything I needed was already provided. The location is perfect and size of the house was just right for us. The downstairs area provided a nice get-away for my teenagers, and the dock out back provided entertainment with nurse sharks, snapper, squid and tarpon. The beds were very comfortable and we had just had a great time. It's within easy driving distance of Robbies, World Wide Fisherman, Bahia Honda and obviously, Hawks Cay. Great place - highly recommend!

This house was great, we loved the set up with the two king bedrooms. We loved the large balcony, and great dock.Perfectly situated in the middle of the Keys to go north or south. We hope to be back!

Duck Key is a beautiful setting for this great canalfront home. The renovations are first class & we enjoyed our stay immensely. We would definitely stay here again. Loved the turquoise color of the water!

This property is lovely- on a wide, fresh flowing canal in the wonderful oceanside community of Duck Key. During our stay the neighborhood was both quiet and friendly. The home is immaculate, tastefully decorated and well-equipped. I slept like a coral rock in the inviting, very comfortable 4-poster bed! The owner was professional and considerate in providing pertinent information prior to our visit. No surprises! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to family and friends.

I have rented many houses over the years in the Keys. This is by far the cleanest house I have ever stayed in. The house has that retro Old Florida charm yet is furnished with the latest appliances and creature comforts. The location really makes you feel like you're on a secluded island somewhere in the Bahamas. The water is beautiful and the fishing is excellent. There's nothing like having fresh Mahi-Mahi after a day of fishing. I definately will be back.

Everything was tip top ~ state of the art condition with this wonderful designer home. It is first quality with a Florida Keys Flair that has everything you need inside and out. The beautiful water with the flow thru canal offered entertainment from the dock. We brought our boat and popped out within seconds to the open water. The fishing was great! We ran into a school of dolphin (the kind you eat) 5 miles off shore & caught our limit in less than an hour. It was a fantastic experience and would definately visit again, and again.

This is a well built and beautiful home. We know it is well built because we arrived in the Keys the weekend Fey decided to blow thru. While it was requested that tourists evacuate, having lived through 3 hurricanes in '04 & '05, we felt we could tough it out. This house didn't even shake. If you didn't sit on the porch and watch the palms bending, you would not know a storm was blowing at 75 MPH outside. Watched the biggest waves I've ever seem in the Keys breaking on the outside of Duck Key and the water came to the top of the dock but we still had a ball. No visibility following the storm, so no lobsters but we are living proof that -- A Bad day in the Keys beats a good day at Home!! We'll be back next year!
