Outside seating

A majority of the outside seating was broken. There were quite a few repairs that could be made to the inside and outside of the house, that would be somewhat easy. ,,that could make a huge difference. They are the same from 2 years ago. Perhaps the owner should take a visit. Otherwise great location and even though small great for what we require.

Cudjoe Cottage

We enjoyed our 1st stay on Cudjoe. We have previously stayed in Key West, Islamorada and Tavernier. We were very comfortable in the old style Florida cottage. WiFi, AC, screened porch and waterfront location were major contributors to our enjoyment. Easy access to Key West and Big Pine were major bonuses. A missing shower tile and a bare electrical box (porch - ceiling) were the only minor issues of note.

Relaxing little bungalow

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!

Key West Get Away :-(

We realize that in the Keys everything is location... location... location. And with this property that is the primary value. It's location gives you access to Key West but away from the hustle and bustle. It is also located right next to a small inlet. The property is small but a good size for a couple. While we enjoyed our stay in the Keys this property is in need of some serious TLC. These are just a few items we found during out stay. - We cooked most of our meals at the property. The pots, pans, dishes, etc... were of random variety. While that is typically no big deal it would have been nice if the lids actually fit the pans/pots. - Missing kitchen cabinet drawers - Step up going into the kitchen had broken tile along the edge which had duct tape across it. - Tile was missing at the entrance of the shower. - Listing says "gas grill" available. Gas grill was on location but no propane tank and previous guest had used charcoal in it making it unusable. - Listing says kayaks are available. No kayaks were on property. - All the chairs on the "dock" of the inlet were broken. - Blinds in the bedroom had several slats broken/missing. Used a extra blanket to hang over the window. - No door on from bedroom to main room. No big deal if you go to bed together or get up at the same time. - Missing ceiling fan on the porch with open wiring. Other fan has seen better days. There is more but I have used up all the characters... Location... Location... Location...

Lovely place and good location

We enjoyed our 5 night stay. The accommodation was good and it was okay driving distance to Key West and state parks, and short drive to several good restaurants. There is also a nice walking path on the other side of the Overseas Highway. It was nice to be near the water in Cabin 1.

Im in the Keys!

Older property. Could use some cosmetic updates. It was clean and just steps away from the water! Pool was nice and clean. There was a major accident on US1 so we couldnt get to Key West our last day. We plan to stay there again.

Average

It was average overall, good location. Should advise clients, boats should be less than 22', driveways could use some gravel. Cottage 1 needs some basic improvements.

Ideal stay for 2 with boat/jetski

The cottage itself was very clean when we walked in, smelled like a hotel room. It had all the essential things: a place to cook, a place to shower, a place to sleep and relax. Yes the cottage could use some renovation, but it was comfortable and functional. We were pleased to find a jetski dock, which allowed us to keep the jetski in the dock all week instead of taking it out every day. There is a hose that reaches it for washing. The main thing that bothered us was the smell of the water in the dock at low tide, which was pretty bad. Other than that, we had a wonderful week here and we would most likely come back.

Highly Recommend

This waterfront cottage was perfect for us. It's clean and comfortable. The central location in the Keys made it perfect for exploring Key West, Key Largo, and all the great things in between. Our pets loved the floor to ceiling screened porch and so did we. The owner is extremely responsive and very engaged if you need her. Rent this place!

Boat lovers, great location

We thoroughly enjoyed the property. It had parking for the boat, ramp access, two pools and the view from Cottage 1 was amazing. Property Management communication was great when we had a question about the nearby attractions. Highly recommend this quaint property.

Cottage 1

We stayed in cottage 1 which was right on the water. The cottage was in the perfect location and had an amazing view of the water. We watched the sunset each night and got to do some fishing off the dock. It was clean and very comfortable. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in the keys. So close to everything! Nothing too fancy but absolutely perfect for what we needed.

Cottage #1

We had a good visit here. 20 minutes to Key West. We had dock and water access with a large screened in porch area. This is a great spot for two folks. No surprises. It all worked as planned.

Cottage 1 on the water.

we booked this cottage to be able to enjoy the water front view, we previously stayed in cottage 4 a year ago. The pros- large screen porch, perfect for dog and to be able to have additional space. Communication with property manager excellent, very accommodating when we had to change our dates. Updated kayak launch, perfect for accessing the water. Cons- this cottage needs some repairs. everything is working but rather run down. Duct tape used to fix everything. Very loud Air handler is in bedroom closet. The only good thing about the loud noise it helped to drown out the drunk guests having a party. Walls very thing, can hear everything outside, road noise and other guests. Loud guests were having a party every night on the dock so we really didn't get to enjoy it. If I were to stay again I would go back to cottage 4 as its in better shape. The large homes up on stilts are newer and likely in good condition. Hopefully someone will be making some repairs on the small cottages. Thank You
