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.

Quack Duck Key Escape
Area is beautiful. Water out front was perfect. We saw dolphins. Sea turtles right there. House was great. Having kayaks and SUP was also nice. House itself was basic in terms of decorations But who wants to stay inside at Duck Key? Vacasa staff was great. Helped fix a door. Found our iPods after we left and sent them back to our home address. Overall a positive stay. If Owners tried a little more in the Interior decorating ot would be five star. But we had a great time.

Nice Vacation Home
This area is great and the homes are nice with ample room and all the things you need. The good parts are the views are amazing, kitchen is nicely stocked, beds are comfy, no bugs, nice pillows and nice decor. If your looking for just a nice house to stay at this is a great spot. There were only a few minor issues with the space, the dish washer did not work, after 3 days of trying I somehow got it to run once. I had seen this issue on previous reviews so it gave me some concern that this was a big management company rather than a individual owner. It took a few days to get back to me using the messaging service. Outside of the main door and the sliding glass doors, every window was painted shut. Every screen door had taken a real beating and was tough to close and had tears in them. I have been going to hawks kay for the last 20 years, and it is one of the more expensive places to stay in the keys. At the same time it is well worth it, as the amenities with the resort are amazing. I had stayed in these exact units before, so when the resort was booked I looked at VBRO. The issue I did not see was the fine print, its on the hawks kay property, but the listing is Duck Key, and when you go into the review you then realize your renting a house only. No use of either pools (or the one by the house), no gym, no kids area. If I had never gone to Hawks kay this would be just a house to stay at, but since I have and the cost difference was so minimal, I would opt to pay a little

Nice unit
Mattress in second bedroom needs to be replaced. The center of the bed sunk in. Other than that, the unit was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view

A Cozy New Years Eve in Duck Key
This was our first time staying at this property and our first time staying in Duck Key. The property was as advertised. Very clean. We very much enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset. It is the PRIME sunset spot in the community. Loved the neighborhood walkability and the close restaurant the evening we returned too late to go elsewhere. We were able to view fireworks on New Years Eve from several places on the property. Only drawback to mention is the second bedroom is somewhat small. We had an adult couple sleeping there and it was a bit tight. All in all a great stay! Thank you!
