The house was in a great location and everything was very clean and tidy. The host was extremely rude and argumentative. She truly ruined parts of our trip with her poor attitude.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jan 2026
We recently put a golf cart at the property. her reservation did not include the golf cart but i told them i would let them use it but there were rules to use it. they took it out after dark which is not allowed since it isn't equipped for nighttime, then she texted me screaming that there were no lights on the golf cart and they were out at the beach in the dark. I told her they were not supposed to have it out after dark, and she started screaming at me that there were too many rules i was ruining their vacation. they were rude and ungrateful for the extra benefit, I tried 4 times to write to her to tell her i was not trying to ruin her vacation but if they wanted to continue to use the golf cart they needed to follow the rules. She finally said " Ok i understand now. It’s over with." but then she leaves a bad review. you just can't please entitled people.

We had such an amazing time! We felt very welcomed and the place was so nice and sweet and laid back. Having security there 24 hours a day 7 days a week was a nice perk and the pool and hot tub were Amazing. The condo itself could not have been cuter, and the location right there on the channel was perfect for sunrises and sunsets. We are already trying to figure out when we can get back down there!
Fishing from our back view!

Spent a wonderful week here with our teen daughter. Loved having the option of riding bikes down to the pool. The location was perfect, right between Key West and Marathon Key. We found fun adventures within a short drive each day. Also enjoyed getting to know other people who were staying in the gated community resort! We’d love to come back!
