Great stay in Duck key

This is a great spot if you’re coming to the keys. The location made it easy for day trips to visit other keys. The communication with the property manager was quick and easy. The location was clean and we enjoyed spending time on the outside patio watching the sunrise. The beds were comfy, the WiFi was fast and we loved being able to stream Netflix and Disney at night. It’s also walking distance to restaurants and the marina. Highly recommend this place for a great getaway!

We used the pull out couch, hadn’t been cleaned. It was clear very light cleaning had been done to the property, bathroom was not up to my standard of cleanliness but most of my friends didn’t mind. Other than that, property was as expected by photos.

Place was clean, location is great, beds are comfortable, unit has more space than some of others in area, design is nicely done, communications about check-in and check-out went smoothly.There was some little things like missing plunger, ice maker leaking (we didn't see sign right away), hot tub appears to have a leak, very little silverware, check out policy is overly strict, dock was inaccessible.The price was on the lower end compared to similar units, we don't come to duck key to sit around in apartment, so this worked out great for us.All in all we had an excellent trip.

Oh my gosh this was probably the best place I've ever stayed. It was clean and had everything that we needed. Unfortunately the dishwasher did not work but that was the only issue we had while we were there and no we did not contact the property manager because we were out more than we were in. When we were there however the iguanas were the HIGHLIGHT of our stay. I can't even tell you how much they made the trip memorable. Everything about this rental went with ease from the beginning to check out. I'm sad they are selling the property because I would probably continue renting this place in the future due to everything; location, the property overall, cleanliness, the iguanas, the beds were comfortable, and it gave us everything we needed!!EVERYTHING was wonderful except the dishwasher.
