It was on the water, we didn't catch many fish but saw quite a few. It lacked in cleanliness a bit but we had a good time. I'd stay here again maybe try another unit on that drive as well. The stairs were a bit steep to the 2nd floor. It was decorated nicely as well. ##### Tammy L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa L.

Washer and dryer unit was not working, they did call to tell us that as we were checking in, though. Fortunately, we had packed enough clothes and they were nice enough to reimburse us for not having the unit during the entire stay. Location is good for people who are in the middle of the keys and are exploring either north or south. ##### Lisa L. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard T.

The air conditioning worked well. We did not use the microwave or oven. We did store a few things in the refrigerator and it worked perfectly along with the freezer. The grounds were nicely kept! All in all...my wife and I found the house comfortable and inviting. ##### Richard T. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael J.

Water out front was perfect. We saw dolphins. Sea turtles right there. House was great. Having kayaks and SUP was also nice. House itself was basic in terms of decorations But who wants to stay inside at Duck Key? Vacasa staff was great. Helped fix a door. Found our iPods after we left and sent them back to our home address. Overall a positive stay. If Owners tried a little more in the Interior decorating ot would be five star. But we had a great time. ##### Timothy S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsey S. Jan 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Cozy New Years Eve in Duck Key This was our first time staying at this property and our first time staying in Duck Key. The property was as advertised. Very clean. We very much enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset. It is the PRIME sunset spot in the community. Loved the neighborhood walkability and the close restaurant the evening we returned too late to go elsewhere. We were able to view fireworks on New Years Eve from several places on the property. Only drawback to mention is the second bedroom is somewhat small. We had an adult couple sleeping there and it was a bit tight. All in all a great stay! Thank you! ##### Kelsey S.

May 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Doesn't look like the pictures We looked the look for this property but where quite disappointed. The bathroom ceiling had paint flaking of it. The hall way upstairs had a large brown mark on the ceiling from a leak. The house is a bit old and tired. We couldn't get in our parking spaces as other cars parked there. The location is fabulous and the sunset view was amazing. ##### Steve G.

Nov 14, 2023 #### Comfortable, nice The house was nice and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay. The location is great- about midway between Key West and Key Largo, and we did day trips to both for snorkeling and exploring. The water outside the house was the most beautiful teal color, and I saw a green heron and lots of jellyfish while paddleboarding. The emails I received leading up to the trip made me very worried about the check in process, stating I’d need paperwork (I didn’t receive) to show a security guard. I spoke to someone on check in day and she assured me I wouldn’t have to go through a security guard and would be all set just with the code that was sent via text, and this was true. Getting into the house was simple. I appreciate that parking is included. ##### Senae S. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Craig W. May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location but condo needs to be updated. Second time in the condo complex and we love the location. The condo shows serious signs of wear and needs some updating. For instance, the kitchen cabinets wouldn't stay shut and were quite scratched and worn.The handle on the downstairs bathroom was broken and we had to reach in the tank to pull the flapper chain with each use. Some of the walls and room moulding were scuffed and in need of attention.Overall, the condo was comfortable, easy to access and has a nice water view. However, unless it were updated, we wouldn't stay there again.One note on Vacasa, who manages the property: their communication with me was rather frustrating. I filled out all the required information online, which was verified by the "owner." However, I must have received at least 7 emails requesting that I complete a form from Dropbox before check-in. I kept checking with the owner to make sure I hadn't skipped a required form, but was assured twice that everything was in order. But these reminder emails kept arriving, which was disconcerting. I suggest that Vacasa tighten up their communication process so everyone is on the same page. ##### Craig W. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew G. Mar 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Vacation Home This area is great and the homes are nice with ample room and all the things you need. The good parts are the views are amazing, kitchen is nicely stocked, beds are comfy, no bugs, nice pillows and nice decor. If your looking for just a nice house to stay at this is a great spot. There were only a few minor issues with the space, the dish washer did not work, after 3 days of trying I somehow got it to run once. I had seen this issue on previous reviews so it gave me some concern that this was a big management company rather than a individual owner. It took a few days to get back to me using the messaging service. Outside of the main door and the sliding glass doors, every window was painted shut. Every screen door had taken a real beating and was tough to close and had tears in them. I have been going to hawks kay for the last 20 years, and it is one of the more expensive places to stay in the keys. At the same time it is well worth it, as the amenities with the resort are amazing. I had stayed in these exact units before, so when the resort was booked I looked at VBRO. The issue I did not see was the fine print, its on the hawks kay property, but the listing is Duck Key, and when you go into the review you then realize your renting a house only. No use of either pools (or the one by the house), no gym, no kids area. If I had never gone to Hawks kay this would be just a house to stay at, but since I have and the cost difference was so minimal, I would opt to pay a little ##### Matthew G.
