Great!

The property was in a great location! Very close to the Seawall and all sorts of food spots close by. The inside was in phenomenal condition even when it was built in the early 1900s!!

Cute house

One of the cutest properties we stayed at. It was clean and well appointed. Had plenty towels, liquid hand soap, and kitchen was stocked with basics and pots and pan. The house had plenty of kids toys (mine enjoyed the legos), puzzles, uno, had beach toys (buckets, boogie boards, shovels), play chalk, basically your kids will be entertained. The house is very close to The Grand opera house and the strand. Great location and we enjoyed our stay.

Adorable Getaway Close to it All!

This property was perfect in so many ways. From the check in process and the very thoughtful welcome gift and message, to the comfortable beds and linens, and the proximity to the beach, restaurants and activities we couldn’t have asked for a better property. The neighborhood was quiet. The house is very close to main streets making it easy to get around. The house has everything you need. The furniture and beds were extremely comfortable. The master room is oversized with a king bed and sitting area. The 2nd room had a queen bed and the 3rd room could sleep 4 with the bunk beds. Although I had teenagers with me, there were thoughtful items such as a snack basket, coloring books and colors, legos and beach towels. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

Absolutely Amazing

Key Lime Kottage is a must stay!! It's in the cutest neighborhood close to the strand and the seawall. The attention to detail in the property and by the homeowners was impeccable. The rooms are spacious and the main bedroom and bath are beautiful. We will definitely be back.
