Family Vacation

Our accomodations were excellent and worked well for our group. The home is beautiful, clean, beds are very comfortable. Everyone slept well, plenty of room for our group of 5 people. Our son's 18 and 24 enjoyed kayaking with their dad from the dock and the sunsets are breathtaking from the end of the pier. The pool was just the something extra that made our stay wonderful being able to cool off and swim after a long day. The SS Wreck has good food or if you wanted to grab a drink at the bar. You are able to walk over. Eat at Porky's if you get the chance the menu offers something for everyone. We had a wonderful stay and the location was central to the things we wanted to do. I will definitely recommend to family and friends and would book again for future vacations if in the area.

Key Lime Kottage

Wonderful accomodations. The home was just as stated in the description. It was clean, the pool area was very nice. If you like peace & quiet, this would be a nice place to stay & enjoy the secluded pool area. We liked that SS Wreck was just a short walk down the road. Good drinks & food. Key Lime Kottage is conveniently located. Not far from groceries, restaurants, marinas, etc. My only suggestion to Lindsey is provide 1 or 2 pair of binoculars, so much wildlife out off the dock, it would be beneficial to view with binocculars.

Amazing week!

The house and property are just as pictured: private, clean, welcoming, and fun! We LOVED the pool area and fishing off the dock. Couldn’t have asked for a better week in the Keys staying at this house. Thank you!

Beautiful and private

The house and property was very clean. The pool was very relaxing and got to do some fishing on the dock. Having the mangroves on both sides of the property made it very private and also there was plenty of wildlife. The iguanas were very friendly. We will definitely love to come back

Cozy, quiet getaway

We love KLK, this is our second time back and we hope to visit again! It’s close to things to do and places to eat but far enough away from the busy. You can’t beat the privacy here and the relaxing pool! Thank you again!

Wonderful Place to Relax!

My family stayed here the last week in December 2022 and it was one of the best places we have ever had the chance to stay. My four young boys enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the chance to fish off the dock. We even took the kayaks out for a tour of the mangroves. I must say this place felt like our own little resort. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and the owners as amazing to work with! They are so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process!

Very nice house

Nice house, comfortable furniture and beds, beautiful pool area. My only comment is traffic noise was louder than expected. I forgot how busy Overseas Highway was! Don't let that deter you though, it was still wonderful.

Loved the privacy

Very clean property. Loved the privacy and the tropical feel. Beds were comfy and the property manager, Ashley, was very responsive. We were a bit disappointed that the water at the dock was very shallow and not somewhere you would really want to swim. However, gorgeous sunsets and views that couldn't be beat! The pool area was also very nice. This was a really nice property for a small family.

Perfect Week in The Keys!

Key Lime Cottage was beautiful! My five kids and I had an amazing week. Perfect location - quiet and private but still places to walk to and Marathon was ten minutes and Key West an hour and fifteen minutes away. House was very clean and well stocked. Loved the pool and hot tub, kayaks, cornhole, and outdoor jenga! Ashley (the owner) was super nice and went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and was very responsive. Kids already want to know when we can go back! 😊 Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful stay!

Loved the use of the kayaks and the bikes, could barely get the kids out of the pool. The screened in lanai was wonderful for hanging out and watching football on the tv while sitting in the hot tub. The dock was fabulous. Ashley was absolutely lovely to work with, and went above and beyond in all ways. Her recommendations were spot on for restaurants and activities - made it such a great and relaxing week. The kids had the most amazing time at the dolphin research center a few doors down. We made wonderful family memories and hope to come back soon!

Wonderful stay in Key Lime Kottage!!!

Our family of 4 had a fantastic week in the Key Lime Kottage. The house is so comfortable that it felt like being at home. It was really hot the week we were there and no one felt like doing much except hanging out by the fabulous pool. I wanted to steal the coffee maker ;-) It really makes terrific coffee! We loved feeding the iguanas everyday. It was pretty funny how they would wait for us to bring them some treats. If we were to ever visit the area again we would definitely stay here. Thanks so much!
