This was a very cute, clean property. We really enjoyed staying here. It's conveniently located near shops, restaurants, and rental places. I recommend renting a boat for snorkeling and going to the Islamorada sand bar. If you want to cook there's a great Publix close by too. We were able to dock our boat rental in the on-site marina and enjoy the beautiful sunsets each night. Will stay again!
We had a fantastic stay! The house was great. The patio area is a total dream for morning coffee. Check-in was a breeze, and the host was very responsive. We will be back!
We had a great time at Hidden Gem. Really enjoyed relaxing with family on the patio. Sean was great and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
Highly recommend this property. Really - a cute place, very clean! Killer bay views on the property! Sean was really great to work with - even stopped by to say Hi and make sure everything was as expected.
Great location with water access. Very clean and well stocked. Best part was the communication with Sean, he was top notch.

Great Summer Vacation
We had a great time and the condo is in a great location! Sean was awesome and very accommodating and even came to meet us in person. We will be back to stay again!
We stayed at the Hidden Gem; a 2 bdrms, 2 baths cute unit. We loved the entire place and it's subtle quaint atmosphere. A very short walk to the water had a stunning view. We will definitely be back.
Property is clean and well taken care of. Perfect place to get away and relax. Sean was more than helpful with any question we had and was always there to help with anything we needed. Will definitely be booking again next year.
Great location. Walking distance to several fun spots to hang out. Clean unit and with a short walk to the other side of the property you see the beautiful (bayside) Gulf of Mexico. Quaint and quiet!!
This is a nicely located property that is tucked away with an outdoor area worthy of a few drinks and relaxation. It was well kept, clean, and bright. Check in and out process easy with prompt communication.
We went for a short family get-away from real life and found it at the Hidden Gem. The property is exceptionally well maintained and very comfortable. Sean is extremely responsive! There are so many restaurants in walking distance. The patio area is so relaxing, and it's a short walk to the boat dock area. The area is very quiet and cozy. We will definitely be back for another visit.
