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.

Great location. Great views. Kiki’s down the road was a very nice benefit. House is just dated. Would love to see upgrades made to the house so it could be a real destination.

Did love the location, however there are a few things that could be improved in order to make the experience much better. The communication with Alex was amazing, same with the manager.

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).

ON A SCALE OF 1 to 10, WE (5 SENIOR ADULTS) RATE THIS @ 7. THERE WERE STAIRS TO NAVIGATE, AND OFF-SETS BETWEEN ROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR. IMPROVEMENTS COULD BE MADE BY CLEARING OUT RUSTY/BROKEN FURNITURE, ETC.
