The unit was nicely decorated and very clean. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. The showers were large and the water pressure was good. The host checked on us to make sure everything was OK. I recommend this rental and would stay there again.

First time in the Keys

Since we were new to the area, we didn't know what to expect. Everything was wonderful. We especially liked the sitting area at the dock. Sean's communication about check-in, things to do, and restaurants was great. We will stay here again!

Perfect Spot

This is a little piece of heaven! Perfect location and we had an amazing stay. My husband and I booked this last minute and we were so exited to find it in such short notice. It was cozy and comfortable. We can’t wait to stay again and bring friends to stay in the unit below this one!

This is in a great location. It’s barely off the highway but you would never know once you are there. We spent many nights at the shared boat harbor on the property watching the spectacular sunsets!

This place has is all!!! Location couldn’t have been any better. We were there to boat and fish during Labor Day weekend and this place was absolutely perfect!!! Sean was so great and incredible helpful. It was seamless and easy to locate the property, check- in and launch the boat. The marina is smaller than it looks in the photos but it was manageable with our Key West. Two couples stayed very comfortably and we had some good luck fishing right there at the back of the property. The courtyard directly behind Hidden Gem is very nice. I sat out there and drank my coffee a few mornings. It was beautiful with orchids and tropical vegetation…very relaxing. I highly recommend this place!!!

Hidden Gem : top and bottom floor rental

We rented both units together this March and were very pleased! Sean was very communicative and handled everything very well. The unit is very clean , appointed with our needs and he worked to get us in a few hours early on our first day. The location was wonderful and having a washer/dryer was a huge help! I would recommend to friends/family in the future. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was wonderful as well. Not having a closet was a small disappointment but understandable do to the size of the room and the racks and hangers were sufficient. Only other suggestion was to add a bit more remodeling to the wash room........ We had a wonderful visit, parking was easy and "neighbors" were quiet but friendly! Thank you, Sean oops also, there was no Keurig as promised in either apt .

Sean was absolutely great!

We enjoyed the cute stylish condo and a short walk to the water. We brought our JetSki and was able to keep it in the water and use it as we pleased. Short walks to various great restaurants was so awesome! We forgot something at the condo and Sean was so nice to retrieve it for us and mail it back to us! Thank you Sean! We will return!

Best stay ever.

From the ability to launch a boat on site to a mooring that sheltered the boat all the way to a great and modern condo to stay in. This place was a winner; and we will be back several times this summer. Fishing was fantastic as well. Manager was available for a quick call if anything was not spot on. Outdoor lights were not on the new time and was fixed same day as the call. Thanks again....see you soon.

Lovely quiet condo

Very clean, sparkling. Two similar bedrooms with en suite bathrooms in each. Responsive hosts. Short walk to waterfront (although not a swimmable beach). Very close to great attractions although either a car or bike is needed to really explore the area. Great WiFi and Netflix as well as other stuff on tv. We watched bloodlines of course. Highly recommended by us!
