Best thoughts are that I would stay at condo again & that I highly recommend this to adults who love cleanliness, quiet & peace for host communication.
We absolutely loved this place! We found the rooms were comfortable and clean and we were close to many attractions. We would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was clean and we thought the towel swans were a nice touch. The only issue that we had was Alexa kept making a random wind chime sound.
Key Lime Cottage was a perfect escape for us. A comfortable place to relax and a perfect launching pad for other adventures in the Keys.The dip pool (a hot tub sized pool that is not heated but was a comfortable temperature) was an unexpected highlight of our stay..a convenient place to enjoy some time in the water relaxing or doing gentle exercises on our own private patio.

We frequently travel to Duck key, this condo was clean and inviting upon arrival, we enjoyed the view, dip pool and all amenities. We would stay here again.
We had a great visit here! We were attending a conference at Hawks Cay and the VRBO was super convenient. Very clean, plenty of space for our group of 3, and the patio out back was great for relaxing.

Key Lime Cottage
The place is lovely, well furnished and clean. The issues we had is that none of the blinds can be opened and we could not change the heat/cool settings for the house. Also need more flatware in the kitchen.
