About this property

Luxury 3BR/3BA Cottage with the Best Sunset Views in the Florida Keys!

Professionally decorated, fully renovated Cottage with 3 Bedrooms & 3 Bathroom Cottage located in the Village at Hawks Cay on Sunset Drive. Spend your vacation taking in fabulous sunsets right off one of the two balconies. The interior has been completely renovated. New furniture, bedding, flooring, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, Samsung TVs and much more. You will absolutely love the accommodations our Cottage offers you and your guests. Our designer and contractor designed it with you in mind! Come relax with us in the fabulous Florida Keys.

The Kitchen is open to the dining room and living room which is open and airy with natural light filtering in from the windows and sliding glass doors. This opens up to your own patio which overlooks the crystal clear waters of Duck Key and Tom's Harbor. Sit on the patio on either floor and take in the unforgettable sunsets. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need during your stay to dine in should you choose to.

The Living Room has a West Indies motif and is equipped with a sleeper sofa, two deep seating chairs and 52" Samsung TV, surround sound, Blu-Ray player and iPod docking station, free WiFi and over 100 HD channels for your enjoyment!

One of the main reasons The Florida Keys has become a vacation hot spot for east coasters is the weather. The weather is beautiful year round in Duck Key with average temps in the 70's throughout winter.

Two of the bedrooms are located upstairs and have their own private bathroom and TVs, and a third bedroom is located downstairs with its own TV. The Master Bedroom is equipped with a king bed with a new pillow top mattress. The Guest Room has 2 Queen beds, both with new pillow top mattresses, and the third guest room has a new Queen pillow top mattress.

Come see for yourself why The Florida Keys has been our family’s favorite vacation spot for the last 20 years. Whether swimming with dolphins, fishing, diving or enjoying a day at the spa, our Cottage at the Villages at Hawks Cay offers something for everyone.

We do not participate in the Hawks Cay Resort Rental program and therefore can offer discounted rates on our Cottage of up to 50% savings. Therefore, you will not have access to the resort or any of its amentities.

We hope to have the opportunity to host you as our guests. You will see the Florida Keys has so much to offer. It will be a memorable vacation for everyone! We are here to help and hope to hear from you soon.

while the house was at a great location there was a fewproblems.1. We had six people in the house but there was only one..9 inch pan to cook breakfast. the rest of the cookwarelooked ancient, black and not useable.2. My husband and I stayed on the low level because the stairs were a little steep. They should have a carpet on each step for stability.3. my husband and I stayed down stairs in the small bedroom because of the steps. I was so small, the bedwas shoved against the wall and I who needs to get up during the night had to climb down to the edge to get out.

Gorgeous location!

This condo is so beautiful! It was the perfect space for our family plus grandparents - spacious and clean. We loved all the access to outdoor space. The kitchen was well-equipped and you could not beat the sunset. The Cabana Club was fun and the beach was great! We also loved Sombrero Beach. Owners were friendly and responsive as well. We are already talking about our next visit.

Great stay in the Keys

House was great! Had everything we needed for our stay. Condo was in a quiet neighborhood and convenient to the rest of the Keys. Great to sit on back porch and watch the sunset over the water. Great location! Whole house had great furniture, like you do in your own home. Definitely recommend to anyone that i visiting the Keys.

Thanksgiving Paradise

This place was so nice!!! Loved the sunsets and was well equipped with all the things you needed. Beds and pillows were so comfy! The Cabanna Club membership that comes with the Condo was great (it is 7 miles down the road, but who cares we were on vacation) We sunbathed, ate there and swam in the ocean. I would definitely recommend this place. Loved IT!!

Perfect!

This property is just as listed--extremely clean, updated and the location is beyond perfect! Sunset views every night and convenient to all Keys activities. We visited Key West for the day and also enjoyed the water sports that are located across the street. There are two restaurants at Hawks Cay which is in walking distance and open to the public-we enjoyed the meals at both. Jarod was amazing to work with--communication was great and he was quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be back!

Winter getaway

Perfect weather and a super accommodating home made for a wonderful week with friends. This unit had a bathroom for each bedroom which made it very nice having your own space to get ready.nice beach towels and beach chairs were available also. The Ninja blender was the bomb! Already told my husband that we will be upgrading our (now substandard) current Ninja! Lol! Thanks for the great place!

Stunning Location in Relaxed Elegance

We spent the weekend here with two families and kids. The condo was everything we could have hoped for... totally clean, stocked with as many cooking supplies as my kitchen at home, and spacious for our large group. The location of this condo is absolutely perfect. The sunset views are stunning, and the large grassy area just outside the back door was perfect for the kids to run around, play soccer or drop a line in the water... they even caught a few fish! We used the resort amenities on multiple occasions, as well... loved late night ice cream at the dock store as well as the kayaks at the resort pool. We will definitely return!

Excellent location; beautiful condo

This is a comfortable and lovely condo. Two parking places are provided. It is centrally located on the Keys, between Key Largo and Key West. Owner was quickly responsive to any questions we had. Three couples appreciated having our private bathrooms. The upper level baths were en suite, the first floor bathroom was next to the bedroom. For future renters: there are 5 beach chairs plus six beach towels, both regular and Keurig coffeemakers, sufficient other kitchen cooking and serving items. Liquid soap and shampoo/ conditioner are provided in each shower, liquid hand soap at each sink, dishwasher and laundry detergent and kitchen dishwashing liquid. A pack 'n play is provided in a closet. Porches are very nice (4 of them) with seating on each. Back porches have gorgeous sunset views. We highly recommend this condo.

About the host

Hosted by Jarod Carter

Our names are John and Brenda Carter. We have three sons who we are very proud of and 6 grandchildren. Our family is our biggest blessing in life. Our best memories as a family have been spent together diving and fishing the waters of the Florida Keys.

Over the last few years, we have started purchasing, renovating and renting our properties as vacation rentals. It is a business that we really enjoy and find it very fulfilling. We get to host families from all over the world in our paradise and hope to help them create memories with their families, as we have. We hope to have you as our guests soon!

Why they chose this property

As business owners in the South Florida area for over 35 years, we entertained guests in the Duck Key area and feel it is one of the most desirable locations in the Florida Keys.

Our property is conveniently located in the middle of the Keys, between Islamorada and Marathon Key, on Duck Key in the Village of Hawks Cay. It is very easy to go to Islamorada and spend the day shopping, sightseeing and having dinner and then head to Key West the next day. While it is in the heart of the Keys, you are still on an island which provides you with the privacy you expect when wanting to get away and take in the laid-back lifestyle the Florida Keys is known for.

No matter what your agenda for your next vacation, Duck Key and the surrounding area has something for everyone and that is the primary reason for our purchase.

What makes this property unique

Our property went through a full remodel after Hurricane Irma. All renovations were overseen by our designer and general contractor. We are proud of the way the property turned out. This is not a cookie cutter cottage. It is modern and unique with very high-end finishes.

We have the best cleaning staff around, who shares our high standards. The Cottage is equipped with everything you'll need to spend the weekend, the week or over a month with us comfortably.
