Private Oceanfront Cottage with dockage, pool just minutes to Key West!

Yes you are on the ocean, yes there are docks, and yes you are centrally located for activities. Cottage was clean but very dated and not well kept. It is not private, we had people walking and driving in and around us throughout the day. We did bring a dog, which is why we liked the private description, but it was not and he spent a lot of time barking when we were there. Duct tape around windows and doors, note saying you cant turn the AC below 75. I live in Wisconsin and keep mine cooler than that! The pools were located in such a way as I felt rude using them. Grill, is a little propane weber fold up, not really what you expect. Definitely could use some upgrades and better description.

Place was very clean. The property is in need of upkeep and updating. It was hit in the last hurricane.

Great property

The cottage is somewhat rustic but clean and comfortable. There maintenance issues, but with the close proximity to the ocean, I image these are ongoing. The directions provided by the property manager were clear and got us to the location without difficulty. Little details of nighttime speed limits and location frequented by police were accurate. Very quiet setting with wonderful view. If we should be visiting the keys again, I would stay rebook this cottage.

Inside home was clean. Location and grounds were good. The home itself was in need. A large tear in the screened porch, unpatched holes in bathroom wall, missing cabinet door in kitchen, needs porch pressure washed, interior could use fresh paint. But nice pool and grounds and the home interior was clean, good water pressure in shower.

Cute clean cottage. The bed needs a new box spring badly! Woke us up every time we rolled over…but firm Mattress was comfortable enough. Awesome spot to spend a few relaxing days for sure! Screened porch with fan was definitely a plus!

Did not use tge pool, it looked nice. The place is a little worn and dated. It was clean, everything worked as it should. Tough thing to find in the keys, it was very private. 4 places spred out over a long property. I could only see 2 houses, about the same when you went on the dock. Dock was nice, could use a handrail in a couple of places. The is a seawall to dock boats at. I plan on going back. The setting and the privacy were great. There are several bars and restaurants within a few miles. Tonios fresh seafood shop and tiki bar has excellent food AND service. Square grouper was good also. Did not try broil, wood fired food within walking distance. 20 miles out of key west.

Everything was nice and clean. Loved the location . Would definitely stay at the property again.

Bad need of repair....rust....no boat ramp......shallow water....screened in porch was aweful with holes in the screens and lots of mosquitos and rusted grill.

Very affordable, quiet right on the water

The property is ideally situated, providing convenient access to key destinations within the Florida Keys. While the residence may benefit from some modernization, its value proposition remains highly competitive.

We have been coming here for the past few years, usually during Memorial Day. We are always so relaxed and pleased with all aspects of our stay. Already working on booking again for next year!

Our first impression as we entered was surprise. I am incredibly surprised people are giving this place 10’s. When I rent I rely on others ratings and reviews. The first thing noted is the pictures on the listing are NOT accurate. There is a plastic table with 3 plastic chairs on the patio, not the cute furniture in the photo on the listing. The screened porch has a tear in the screen, high above the door, so it must have happened when someone was working there. Mosquitoes were already present in the area and to my dismay inside the house. There are gaps in the back doorway and what they have tried to repair is with duct tape, in the kitchen and bathroom windows. There are cupboard doors missing and cute touches of decorations that were not like that in the listing photos. There was dirt on at least one wall. The furniture was stained,, 2 small chairs and the couch. The furniture is completely different color than in the listing. The bed “squeaked ” as if it was rubbery?! The dust ruffle was filthy, although the bedding appeared clean, thankfully. 1 lightbulb out of 3 worked in the bedroom. No hangers available. Only 1 nightstand, I made a makeshift one from our suitcases. No supplies, for example Saran Wrap, I know that may be a “luxury”, but every place I’ve stayed has basic supplies. Who travels with items like that?!.the microwave was new but difficult to figure out. My husband had to fix the toilet, luckily he is handy. Now for the positive, quiet and great shower.

Cottage very clean and private. Loved being near the dock.

Beautiful serene, location, located close enough to Key West and also nice restaurants in the area and close to Bahia Honda State Park, which was beautiful and the key deer areas.

Needs work interior wise. Neighbors were yelling and hollering at 2 am.

This is a lovely location with a lovely view. The cottage itself is adequate; we pretty much just slept there. But it needs repair and refreshing. It was as clean as it could be for its aged appearance. The wire shelves need to go, we needed additional towel racks, there were no hangers. There were no pillow cases on the pillows in the shams. I wouldn't have cooked in the kitchen. I'd go back if it was fixed up!

As always, we had a great time. Nothing fancy but just a quiet get-away.

i wonder what it was before. no door on bedroom. bathoom narrow and outdated. table and 1 chair on screened in concrete porch. small t.v. good spot

Cottage 1 was right by the water. A walk down a long path to a dock was a nightly trip to watch the sunset. Located between Marathon Key and Key West was perfect for restaurants and stores without the crowding from tourists. About 20-30 minutes to Key West

This is a great place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet home base for your vacation. Key West is a quick drive away and we found lots of fun activities and great food locally.

Nothing but good things about the experience. Loved everything about the place.

This is a little quaint cottage excellent for a couples getaway. About 20 mins to Key West. We loved the big patio and the dock through the mangroves. We didn’t cook but ate at the Broil Steakhouse literally across the street two nights for dinner. Great property and a fun little cottage. They have houses, duplexes, a house with a pool and a shared pool. Overall would definitely recommend and will be back in the future.

Clean, quiet, made for a nice stay

Very nice very convenient

Great place for my girls and I to relax, everything you need is right here. Clean, good value for the , very responsive host and great location!

The bungalow was the perfect size for a couple. Like many reviews state, it requires some repairs and updates. For instance, the blinds were broken in many places. We also had trouble with pests while staying there because the back door didn’t close properly. Despite that, the house had everything we needed for our stay and the host was responsive.

Arrival and check in was easy. Property was clean and easy to find. We only stayed one night due to the pending weather (Hurricane Milton). Mega Cudos and Appreciation to the Host as our trip was fully refunded! We are planning to return in 2025.

Love the cottage and how close to the water it was. It was quiet, plenty of area to walk the pup. Would come back

The House was clean. But could use some updating. Enjoyed our visit.

Fishing on the dock….Gorgeous view….great fishing…catch Mahi 😀 Great boat trailer parking 20’ boat. You can put your boat in right there in the water or Jet ski. Step out your door, jump on the boat. Boat dock just a few miles away. Wasn't to busy on Labor Day 2024. There is a lovely pool there and a community washer and dryer. Nice tiki bar and restaurant maybe a mile away. The cottage is dated but clean. Wi-Fi is great and a/c works great. We will definitely be back.

The property location was great for us. It was so nice to wake up and see the water just outside your door and lots of iguanas roaming around. We enjoyed the pool and everyone staying in the other units were nice and friendly. The bungalow was cute and clean but the unit itself was in need of quite a few repairs. It was said to include a boat slip but upon checking in we found out that the slips were first come first serve and there were only 5-6 slips for nearly 8-12 units. That was a little frustrating as we had to “create” our own dockage back up in a mangrove…. But we made it work. That could’ve been a big issue had there been more tenants with boats on the days we were there so that’s the biggest thing I’d check out the next time.
