The house was wonderful, as always. Love the pool and dock. Lindsey was a great host, very responsive and helpful. Everything was very clean upon arrival, pool was great, can’t wait to return next year.
The house was nice but felt it could have been a little nicer given the price. Found some areas in the house not cleaned super well, the house could use some updating, there is no closet in the master bedroom (only a dresser and stand with a few hangers provided), they provide you with very little towels and wash cloths (three total wash cloths in the entire house and four bath towels and the house is supposed to sleep 6 I believe). Only a couple days into our stay the kitchen counter was filled with ants that caused us to throw food away that we just bought (the host did send pest control the next morning). The listing states there is a bait freezer but there was not. We did enjoy the pool and hot tub every day. Fishing off the dock was not the best for us during our stay but the water there is extremely low. Enjoyed the provided kayaks and paddle board.
Great location. House is very private and met our needs quite well. The pool area is very nice and the communication with the host was excellent.Two areas of suggested improvement: Extra visits/attention from pest service to control the "crazy ants" in the kitchen, as well within the pool enclosure would be helpful.Second, verify stock of paper products (toilet paper, pair towels). We had to go out and stock our own during the week. These were minor inconveniences, and did not overshadow the great time we had at the property. We highly recommend it and will definitely consider renting it again in the future!
This is a wonderful property! We loved the location and the house. Everything was clean with wonderful amenities. We loved the whirlpool, dock and privacy that the house offered. We plan to stay again!
Great location! Beach and many restaurants nearby. Easy day trip to key west. Great pool area and docks for watching the sunset. We have stayed here 3 times.
The house was great and the property felt very secluded. The only issue we had was that the hot tub wasn't working correctly. The pool and hot tub were always the same temperature, and half the jets in the hot tub didn't work. But we still had a great time and the pier was nice to drink coffee on and look at the ocean. Would definitely return in the future.
We loved the Key Lime Cottage! We enjoyed the pool and sunset dock! Convenient location with breathtaking views! We Would definitely rent again! We were comfortable, and cozy with great amenities! Comfortable beds freshly made and house was so clean when we arrived. The pool was a center piece for our stay as we had a hot week! Lovely pool area.
We had a wonderful time, loved staying here. The pool was awesome.
