Cute condo by the water

We had a lovely stay this July. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Kitchen had plenty to offer for cooking or own meals. Had a few minor issues, but with just a quick text and things got resolved in a flash! Would recommend to anyone wanting to see a nice sunrise over the water.

Nice Property, Great Location

We were here for a 20th wedding anniversary trip. The condo was in a great location between Marathon and Islamorada. We had a rental car so we were easily able to access everything we wanted within a 25 minute drive either way. You were able to see the sunrise each morning from either the upper or lower decks. This was not a large place but is was very comfortable for two couples. It was very clean and well cared for. The storage for clothes and other personal items in the two bedrooms was lacking a bit, but we were able to make it work. The Duck Key area is a beautiful place and we would definitely come again in the future.

Great location, reasonable price

Property was clean; in a great location. Check in/out procedures were clearly outlined well in advance of our stay. Only a couple of rolls of toilet paper (not nearly enough for a 6 day stay). Part of the door seal on the front door was hanging 3/4 of the way off. Contacted the management team to let them know. Still not fixed when we left. No biggy for sure. Furniture and beds were comfortable. View off the balcony’s was fantastic. I would stay here again.

Beautiful place. Beautiful spot. Get groceries before you get to Duck Key— best options in Marathon if coming up from Key West. You will need to provide your own salt, pepper, comdiments, cooking oil, any extra laundry detergent, tp, paper products. There will be a limited starter supply. Weather is often conducive to leaving windows open. Main level one has a screen, one bedroom has no screen, the other had a ripped one. There are a lot of mosquitoes, so you will wake up with bug bites if you leave the doors open overnight. Beach towels are supplied and there are many beaches to explore in the Keys. Dolphin Connection at resort next door is a great experience.

We had a very nice stay overall. The place was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and we appreciated how easy the check-in process was. The location was also convenient for exploring the area.The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I was confused about the amenities. From the listing, I mistakenly thought the property was part of the nearby resort and that we would have access to the pool and other resort amenities. Unfortunately, that wasn’t included. This may have been my misunderstanding. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable place in Key West.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the property clean, comfortable, well maintained, and conveniently located. We’re sorry there was some confusion regarding the resort amenities. We do make sure the listing clearly states that access to the nearby resort’s pool and other resort amenities is not included with the property, but we understand how the location and proximity to the resort could have led to that impression. We’ll continue to look for ways to make this distinction as clear as possible for future guests. We truly appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear that, aside from the amenities misunderstanding, you had a great stay and would recommend our property. We hope to welcome you back to Key West again in the future!
