Great place for family and friends
the house is beautiful especially the upstairs bedroom and kitchen/living room area. My friends and I cooked our catch and enjoyed a meal at the outdoor dining table in the evenings. My favorite amenity is the dock where we stargazed at night while waiting for the fish to bite. I highly recommend for a longer stay with friends and family. The two floors are not connected by an indoor stairwell which some may not prefer.

Outstanding location
Right on the water. Dolphins, rays, turtles and nurse sharks visited regularly. Fishing is good from dock, and the nurse sharks fascinated our dog. House is a bit on spartan side, but definitely workable and comfortable. Manager was available by text when needed, but we had no problems while there. Kikis is a short walk up the road and great seafood shop down on Cudjoe Key.

Needs TLC
All the reviews below are accurate. The good ones and the bad, great location and keys are fun, but they need to take care of the place. This is not professionally managed and overpriced. It does have bugs, German cockroaches, ants, and spiders. The top floor is not attached to the bottom internally so your kids will need to lock the door or come outside and upstairs if they need you unless they have a cell phone. It is old, lots of makeshift furniture and that’s ok, but they at least need to have lights on the stairs that work. The dock is new in the pictures, but has deteriorated since. I had to message for checkin info and construction next door was well into Friday night-cement truck and loaders running until 7:30. Rusty forklift and furniture still there… seems nothing has changed in years with this place. If I had a home to rent out for the price they are charging, I’d take more pride in it or at least supply toilet paper. (No I did not message the property manager for tp, we handled it ourselves after the first 2 complaints).

Amazing location on the water
Gorgeous views from this property. The sunrises were spectacular! This property has plenty of room to park your boat and trailer. My 3 border collies had plenty of room on the property to go for walks and not even leave the property. Just walking down the 300 foot dock is an experience in itself with plenty of marine life to watch, dock your boat, and some sweet snorkeling and fishing. I spent quite a bit of my time just watching the beautiful, ever-changing colors of the water and sky. Also a bonus of having a grille and bar just a 4 min walk away! I highly recommend staying at this property for a memorable time in the keys!

Great location
We came to town for a girls weekend to celebrate my best friend turning 30 and running the key west half marathon. The house is in the perfect location to quickly get to key west and other keys. The backyard was our favorite area and has the best sunrises. The owner was quick to respond on any question. Will definitely be saving this location to stay at in the future. Everything in the house was in perfect condition

Location was nice but seemed to have a bug problem
The location and pier were really nice but there seemed to be a bug problem as our entire party got bitten while staying at the property. The bite pattern suggests there were bed bugs in the house… Additionally we weren’t able to get access to the property during the check in. That process could be a lot more streamlined. We also ran out of utensils but luckily the owner brought some for us. Should really look into the bug problem.

Needs work / Overpriced
Price per night compared to condition of property is too high. Interior and exterior finishes look worn/weathered, but maybe the Host looks for that look?? Cabinets and countertops a bit dated, though functional. Interior wiring for outlets mounted outside wall - probably not up to code standards. Outside is unsightly - the front looks like a storage lot for excess cars, rusting forklift, crumbling old foundation, broken/ajar garage door (for critters to enter). Flooring type varies but has no threshold transitions, so watch your step. Beach towels, dishwashing soap, dishwasher detergent, nor full roll of paper towels not provided so buy them when you get your groceries. BTW - downstairs bathroom has 2 hose bibs with one garden hose connected next to the Flamingo-colored tiled shower… purpose unknown since there is no drain there. Snorkeling was good - small fish, green jellies, a 5’ nurse shark under the dock (don’t panic - not a bad thing). Trying not to be too critical since I am also a beach area rental host outside of FLA. But bottom line is that this one is overvalued per night. My original edit was more detailed, but I ran out of room in this space.

Great Location and Great Host
We loved the location being right near everything we needed. Grocery store minutes away, restaurant/bar and boat rental within walking distance, and the dock was just perfect. The host had great and timely communication with us throughout our trip whenever we needed him. The house is nice but like many in the area it’s been around for a while and has been used so it’s not going to look like new construction, but as long as you’re ok with that you’ll have a great experience. Highly recommended!

The location is great, very private and low key, with a great screened in porch. The house and grounds however are getting very run down The beds are well used and the futons have a metal bar running across at waist/back height making it very uncomfortable.
