Best in the Keys

This week has been absolutely amazing. This trip to the Keys has been on my bucket list for a while. My husband and I drove down following a cruise with family and have been having a great time exploring Key West. We decided to stay around Marathon since we did not want to deal with traffic the whole time there. Duck Key is a beautiful place to stay. The two bedroom home is on the water and is beautifully decorated. I will definitely recommend this home. Hated to leave this morning.

Stunning views

Great place. Very convenient to Key Largo and the Keys. Enjoyed the sunsets. The iguanas were fun to watch. Note: the shower handle in the first bedroom is missing a set screw. Handle falls off. Steps off deck needs some boards replaced. All just normal maintenance. Place was perfect for us.

A Litle Piece of Paradise

This two bedroom condo was perfect for the four of us. The deck off the livingsroom was inviting for us to have breakfast and for the evening after the sunset. Everything was updated and very simple and clean feeling. The washer and dryer was a plus eventhough we didn't stay long enough to use them. Centrally located to visit the entire Keys Islands. Thank you for your place.

Nice place with good communication

We visited this property for an extended weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon arrival we encountered a minor setback with a missing bathroom mirror, however, the property management company was very responsive and had someone on site to replace on Thanksgiving day AND without hesitation. Overall, the property was in a great location and as described. They even included Keurig cups for coffee.I appreciate the level of cleanliness and response time!

Family trip to keys

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The place was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views that made our visit even more special. Everything was impeccably clean, and it was clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the space. The instructions for accessing the property were clear and straightforward, and the host's communication was excellent throughout our stay.There were just a couple of minor areas that could be improved. In both bedrooms, one of the electrical outlets was blocked by the bedpost, which limited the available outlets for charging devices, and there wasn’t an alternative provided. Adding a nightlight in the bedrooms would also be a nice touch for convenience. Unfortunately, the Xfinity service was not working in any room, which was a bit of a letdown.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for its beauty, cleanliness, and ease of communication with the host. With a few small tweaks, it would be absolutely perfect!

Should Be Call Terrific Tipsy Turtle!

I live in Naples and for the last 20 years have been going to The Keys for a "staycation" and I encourage other FL local to do the same. The Tipsy Turtle is by far my favorite find. Based on the pictures, I knew it would be special but the accommodations exceeded my high expectations. I felt pampered my entire stay in the clean and plush surrounding while still enjoying the awesomeness of the middle-key vibe with central access to great fishing and a reasonable drive to Key West for the day. I was torn between enjoying the views from my upper deck patio or going out locally for great food, so no bad choice either way. My son especially enjoyed the quick walk to the marina with more tarpon than the infamous Robbies, both he and my husband fished from the banks daily. While there are plenty of great local food option, I enjoy breakfast and sometimes a late night snack and the kitchen had everything I needed. Staying at the Tipsy Turtle was a special family getaway that allowed me the luxury to RELAX but my guys to have an equally good time fishing/playing.

Great Intro to the Keys

Everything was great. Super location. I have only one minor complaint. We were supposed to get a call or text from the owner about Xfinity for the TV. We were never contacted. I did talk to the IT person for the property and he was very helpful but couldn’t help with Xfinity.

Tipsy

The Tipsy Turtle townhouse was clean and well-appointed. We enjoyed the covered porch and balcony and easy access to the water. The townhouse featured abundant space for our family of 3. Landscaping was beautiful and I delighted in the sounds of nature. Our first two days were quiet and peaceful, but nearby guests were loud and obnoxious on our final day/night. FYI: Neither of the screen doors would close completely, so mosquitos were able to invade the house.
