Hope and Glen are wonderful host. Me and my wife had a nice stay here. Absolutely a great relaxing, private, getaway. Very clean rooms, grounds, awesome crystal clear warm pool. Only problem we had is our time there was too short and we had to leave. They say home is where your heart is. Well we may have just left a piece of home there. Don’t hesitate to book here!

I couldn’t be happier with the cottage I stayed in. It was very clean, as described, check-in was easy, host communicates well! It is located just south of the bridge as you enter Summerland Key from the north and just a couple of minutes off the highway, secluded by trees and peaceful. There is a lot of seating outside and grills so perfect for spending time outside. thank you for the wonderful visit!

Perfect little oasis spot

Very cute spot we had pretty much to ourselves. Had 2 rooms which were connected so we could all be together. Host stopped by and opened the pool table house for us to use which was really nice. Definitely a cute spot where we would stay again.

We highly recommend staying at the Sea Shell Cottage or one of the other rooms at this location! The room is spacious enough for 2 people and had everything we needed. We really appreciated the beach chairs, cooler, umbrella and beach towels provided as we used them often! The property is gorgeous and only has about 6 units on it. So it never felt crowded and often times, we had the pool to ourselves. The pool is heated also which was amazing! Hope often stopped by to give recommendations and to check in which was very helpful. We were in a great location too! Only 30 minutes from Key West, 20 minutes from an amazing beach, great restaurants super close by, and Marvin Key was near as well. We will definitely be back. If you are considering this property, just book it! It's worth it.

Hidden respite

We were visiting to celebrate our 30th anniversary and Hidden Hammock was the perfect place for us. Hope had lots of great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Our favorite was floating in the pool both afternoons and under the stars in the evenings.

Very cute little cottage! The pool area and grounds are lovely, The cottage is quite small but that is all we needed for our week long stay. Very convenient to Key West, only a 25 min drive. The reason for 4 stars was addressed with host but overall would return here.

Cottage off the beaten path

We stayed in the sea shell cottage, perfect for two. The unit was clean and the grounds were beautiful. There is a grill and a flattop griddle you can use. We went out for most meals so we didn’t use them. Close to a ton a restaurants, good recommendations in the book Had a great time! Will be back

Hidden Hammock

Hidden Hammock was a gem for sure. Quiet, clean, located near lots of restaurants, stores, and things to do, Manager Hope was very kind and helpful giving us tips where to go, where to eat etc. Property sits on Summerland Key and close to everything North or South of us. I would recommend this place highly. Cheryl Zelsman
