Escape to this waterfront, two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath Duck Key villa boasting breathtaking sunset views from your patio and balcony! This two-story end unit features nautical-inspired design elements paired with lots of natural light and privacy. Pick up a local fishing kit or bring your own, then spend leisurely afternoons fishing from the shoreline, right outside your door! You’ll also enjoy the provided kayak and paddleboard (life jackets are included as well). You can easily access nearby fishing charters, boat rentals, diving, Dolphin Connection, and excellent restaurants on the 568-acre island.

Sprawl out in the living room and enjoy a movie on the 50-inch TV. An additional armchair offers a relaxing seat with waterfront views. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances shine in the well-equipped kitchen. Sip morning coffee at the breakfast bar and share meals at a dining table. This condo includes two bedrooms for your enjoyment. Upstairs, the main bedroom is equipped with a 26-inch TV and a closet. Wake up and breathe in the fresh ocean air from your second-story balcony overlooking the aquamarine water. A 26-inch TV and a closet are found in the second bedroom. Both bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The half-bath is located on the main floor.

Sliding glass doors open to the patio, complete with a bistro table, chairs, and a ceiling fan for warm evenings. The main bedroom includes a second-story balcony overlooking the clear water. Take in spectacular sunset views from the comfort of your own home and watch as the Florida sun dips below the water and the clear blue skies turn blazing red. Extra perks include free WiFi and a washer/dryer.

Explore the awe-inspiring Seven Mile Bridge, go fishing or kayak around Curry Hammock State Park, and check out the Dolphin Research Center where you can learn about the marine ecosystem and swim with dolphins. At sunset, head over to the Marina to pick up the catch of the day from fishermen and dine on home-cooked fresh fish. You can even make reservations at Angler and Ale for local seafood, and enjoy casual fare at the nearby Island Fish Company.

Was clean and comfortable. Only mirrors are in the bathroom with very little vanity space. They answered every call. Blinds moved very hard or didn’t. Very enjoyable stay. Loved sitting on the deck.

Great place to stay

This was a great place to stay away from the business but close enough to Marathon to go to dinner or activities. The condo was cozy and had a great sunset view. Will definitely look at this place again if we return to the Keys.

Keys vacation

Was what we were looking for. Not super fancy, but comfortable, and right next to the water, which is what we wanted. Central location for us to visit different keys during our stay. Wish they had bikes but they did have other things. Used the kitchen and washer/dryer!

Quaint little getaway!

This place was pretty nice. It was on the water, we didn't catch many fish but saw quite a few. It lacked in cleanliness a bit but we had a good time. I'd stay here again maybe try another unit on that drive as well. The stairs were a bit steep to the 2nd floor. It was decorated nicely as well.

Extremely disappointed in Vacasa

Although the home was fine (it’s definitely dated and you can see the wear and tear) the day we showed up, the water to the entire resort was shut off due to a water main break so we couldn’t shower, brush our teeth, drink the water, etc and Vacasa did not even ONCE reach out to us to offer water bottles or offer a discount or money back or anything for the inconvenience. We were on a “boiled water” notice the whole time we were there and they never once offered to help.

Well kept villa with great water views

Although rooms are small, everything was clean and in great condition and beds were very comfortable. Location is good. We stayed here for 2 nights while our Keys house was tented for termites . Convenient parking right outside the unit. Restaurant within a short walk. Overall a great spot.

The view out the back door and off the master balcony was incredible. The unit was well kept and clean. And for the location I thought the price was very reasonable.

Great location but condo needs to be updated.

Second time in the condo complex and we love the location. The condo shows serious signs of wear and needs some updating. For instance, the kitchen cabinets wouldn't stay shut and were quite scratched and worn.The handle on the downstairs bathroom was broken and we had to reach in the tank to pull the flapper chain with each use. Some of the walls and room moulding were scuffed and in need of attention.Overall, the condo was comfortable, easy to access and has a nice water view. However, unless it were updated, we wouldn't stay there again.One note on Vacasa, who manages the property: their communication with me was rather frustrating. I filled out all the required information online, which was verified by the "owner." However, I must have received at least 7 emails requesting that I complete a form from Dropbox before check-in. I kept checking with the owner to make sure I hadn't skipped a required form, but was assured twice that everything was in order. But these reminder emails kept arriving, which was disconcerting. I suggest that Vacasa tighten up their communication process so everyone is on the same page.

Family Vacay

Great home base for our vacation in the Keys. Unit is on the smaller side, but great value for what you get. If we planned to just hang around the condo, would want a larger unit to spread out, but this was perfect with us being on the run the entire time. The location on Duck Key is fantastic. Right on the water, west facing to watch the sunsets, and literally in the middle of the Keys allowing you to go either direction for things to do.
