Great Location
My husband and I enjoyed the view this home has. They had everything we needed...access to the water, kayaks, grill, pleanty of towels, coconuts (fall from the tree make for an extra treat our son had so much fun with). It was a nice retreat close enough to Key West. This place had great outdoor space, very relaxing and a fun place to be.

Awesome stay
Great location. Beautiful views. Pool was very nice and is a perfect size for 4 adults. Boat dock worked out great for a 24’ bay boat. Bay was deep enough to putt out slowly and return on plane. They have directions for a small non-official Channel but I never figured out where it was. I took the boat straight into the bay about 1/2 mile then followed the land out to the sugar loaf marker 16. Worked great.

Such a perfect beach house
We just wrapped up a weeklong stay at Tropical Paradise. It was truly ideal. The house was so cute and neat as a pin. It was right on the water and the pool was warm and perfect for the kids. It’s a great location with easy access to key west and also a nice quiet retreat. We had such a nice time and plan to come back next year.

Family vacation
Location was wonderful and overall accommodations good. The pool and deck were great as well as the pier and concrete patio outdoors. The iguanas were fun to watch and it was nice to have the kayaks for a little adventure. It was great to have water and ice in the refrigerator! The mattress in the small bedroom needs to be replaced as it sinks in the middle. We found it hard to rinse our hair with the low pressure of the shower, but overall our stay was wonderful! It was a nice little hidden treasure.

Beautiful and clean, We had no problem with AC or bugs as previous reviews mentioned and dock was also there and in great condition, also no seaweed or smell as others mentioned. We have stayed at other places where this was an issue but I think it's just the way the ocean is and the way the wind is blowing at that time. Everything you could need is there and beds very comfortable. I think they have fixed any previous issues. Absolutely no negatives. It was relaxing, loved the kayaks, even saw a turtle. Lots of fish around dock. Quiet but only 25 minutes to key west We will be back!

Great little place but needs a new A/C and pest control
Great location, quiet street. Only a few other rentals visible, to the left, & directly behind the house. The house sits directly on the water, as pictured. The breeze that comes off the ocean is great, especially when sitting on the deck & enjoying the pool. The "beach" to the left is more of an access point to go to & from with the kayaks. I would not recommend sitting there as it is covered in seaweed & an obscene amount of bugs. The use of the two Kayaks was great. The house was super clean. I would recommend a longer hose to reach the pool, as the pool was super low with the water level and we had no way to add more water. 2 negatives, the a/c does not work well at all. We stayed here at the end of July/early August, it was very hot, and the a/c during the day would only cool to 80/81. It would only stay at the setting of 72 late at night once we were sleeping. The mgmt co had two separate a/c people come out back to back, but it didn't do anything. One co. told us they needed a new unit or to add xtra insulation. After I told the mgmt co that the a/c was still not working, they never replied back to me. We had to go to Home Depot to buy box fans & even with the fans running, it was 80/81. No one wants to be in a hot house on their vacation. We felt that the mgmt co could have purchased a portable a/c for less that $400 to help keep us cooler & future guests. The other issue, a bad infestation of ants everywhere...in the house, pool deck, all over sand & sidewalks

Family Vacation 2023
Easy access to property and good size house for the three of us. The layout of the house is nice, and the porch arrangements of screened and not screened are great for enjoying the outdoors. The long dock pictured is gone- that photo should be updated. Kitchen was good- decently appointed. Pans probably need replacing. The pool was good but was far smaller than pictures hint at. More of a swim spa size. We enjoyed the sitting area down in front facing the ocean. There is a “private” beach area between two docks- private is not accurate- it’s shared with the house behind this unit which is far bigger. The beach area is not maintained and was not a place to go wade, so ocean access was pretty limited. The property manager was very responsive when we reported a concern and it was addressed quickly. The middle bedroom with the smallest bed is actually the master with the en suite. The beds and pillows at the house are in desperate need of replacement. For anyone reading- make sure you check this before booking! It’s was difficult sleeping. Cudjoe Key is not commercial, so the nearest full grocery store is at Big Pine Key. But we loved the middle placement of this rental on Cudjoe- half hour from Key West and about 40 minutes to Marathon. We would book again… just as long as there’s new beds!

Tropical Paradise was amazing!
The house and view were incredible. The pool & dock for our boat made this an amazing time! It is very well stocked in the kitchen as well as towels and linens! Would definitely recommend this for your keys getaway! Can’t wait to go back
