Property was ok
This property could be a jewel. After I booked I got a long list of rules and things I would have to provide for myself. I don't mind providing my own toilet paper and paper towels--the tone set just was not welcoming. We have stayed at so many great places where we felt cared for. That was not the case here. It' was not as clean as I would have liked. The kitchen was really nice but the refrigerator periodically leaked onto the floor. The bathroom was nice but there was nowhere to put your things. The bedrooms were homey and beds were ok. The living room was sunken with a step down, I would have wanted to avoid if I had known. The tiny living room was furnished with castoffs; a broken recliner and TV with volume which could not be turned up. I had to perch myself about two feet from the TV to hear it. The WIFI password they sent me was wrong, so I had to call mgt to get the correct one. The only lighting was harsh overhead light. The pool looked nice - I saw someone else enjoying it. There were two docks and views of the water. But nowhere to sit and enjoy the view except a picnic table. I would have liked to taken a chair down there to enjoy the view with a drink, but thought that might be breaking some rule. The grounds had lovely trees and bushes, but piles of junk and broken up concrete here and there. The washer and dryer worked well and at 1.25 a load were reasonable. But the wash room, a shed behind the pool was dirty and depressing without a working light.

Some updates needed
Overall rating of good. Lovely, updated kitchen and bathroom, the shower was fabulous. It had a great area for the dogs, the beds were comfortable, but the living room needs a lot of work. It wasn’t comfortable to sit and relax to watch tv. The remote for the tv was missing and the cable remote wasn’t working so that was challenging. We finally fixed it. The blinds were torn, and you can hear your neighbors conversations. The location was good and it was clean. Not sure we would stay there again, but there are other homes on the property that also rent.

Nice place to travel with pets
Overall I appreciate having a rental where I can take my two dogs. However, if I did not have my dogs I would probably not stay here. Some of the furniture was broken. The exterior needs some TCL. Everything was a little run down but decent.

Cabin in the keys
It was fun
Caught fish at the end of the dock
Only complaint is they restrict the a/c to 75degrees and that was not listed

Comfortable
Decent size for a few days stay. Nice and cool with the A/C. Spent majority of the days in key west. So we were only in the cottage in the morning's for breakfast and at night to sleep. Only down fall was that we had to purchase all the essentials for the bathroom and kitchen since the cottage doesnt come with anything. Otherwise the stay was fine.

Great location
We had a really nice time. Loved the location...we could paddleboard right from the house. Awesome restaurants close by. Nice, quiet, and relaxing. We would definitely stay again. Although next time I would want the unit closest to the water.

Peaceful paradise
Based on the description, i assumed this was a large property with lots of listings and the amenities would be a good distance away...i was wrong and I loved it. Smallish property with lots of privacy, the amenities were so close! Also, it was great to be in a home away from the crowds on Key West at night. I slept peacefully at night and had a blast during the day when I did drive to Key West.
