Great value. Really enjoyed the location. The apartment could use some attention to detail but overall was a great experience.

Memorial Day getaway
The accommodations were good. We are fisherman. I would describe this as a nice fish camp type accommodations. Our problem was accessibility for the boat. Water is really shallow. We needed to time our trips around the tide. On one trip out water was more shallow than indicated on GPS and we bent both our props. We like the accommodations and the location but just doesn't work for our boat.
This is a no frills get away. It is clean albeit a bit run down. Bring your own everything and you will need coins for the laundry machines. Nice place to crash after active days.
We launched our kayaks right from the property and found great fishing and paddling moments from the dock. The bay and dockage are very shallow--I wouldn't bring my power boat to this property. Easy drive into Key West and to all the lower keys. Nice little grocery store within minutes had everything we needed. The property is older and could use some maintenance, but if you don't mind a little fraying at the edges, this is a comfortable, beautiful and quiet corner of the keys. We loved it.
We have stayed at this property multiple times. It is a super convenient location. We bring our boat and it's only a short ride out to either the Gulf or Ocean.

Expectations
Property was misrepresented in pictures online. Unit was in poor condition and needed updating and minor repairs. Furniture in living room is old and very uncomfortable. Lack of maintenance was evident. Kitchen was poorly equipped.
This particular unit needs some updates as other reviews have mentioned, but it was clean and quiet. There were enough dishes and utensils to cook meals. The AC and internet worked well. We enjoyed using the pool each day and watched the sunset by the water. The kayaks looked clean and new. Other guests had dogs that were no issue, all were quiet and kept on a leash. We spent most of our time in Bahia Honda State Park and Key West, this property was easy to get to both areas.
Our large family group is renting six units here for a long vacation. We rented Unit 6 for my daughter and son-in-law. They enjoyed staying on the same property as the rest of us. The cottage is older but roomy. They enjoyed the pool and going out in the boats. They also appreciated the short drive (25 minutes) to Key West for a day trip.

2 Q-tips in the toilet, so not sure how it got past house cleaning. Other guest had dog off leash, charged us (Not the management’s fault, I suppose). My fault for not looking at the website more thoroughly.
Dated, dirty, run down, hard to find driveway at night. Pictures deceiving as picnic table is done and not safe to sit on. I will be removing my VRBO account

Maintenance issues
On arrival at 4:20 PM, I had to contact host, unit was not cleaned yet. The cleaner arrive within 20 minutes and required us to leave unit for an additional 30 minutes. The garbage can in the laundry room was overflowing on arrival and was never emptied our week long stay. The cable wires were a spaghetti mess tripping hazard on the ground outside the unit. The outdoor chairs in need of repair. The location, grounds and other guest were great.
It appeared a maintenance person was missing to handle easy issues.
This place is in a good location but there are some repairs that need to be addressed. Rotten cabinet in the bathroom, leaking water under kitchen sink, TP holder came loose from the wall, kitchen counter laminant peeling off, master bedroom bed need repair (it was tilted to one side, all doors are dirty., found roaches in the kitchen, I had to wiped and sanitized all the highly touch areas myself. The shower floor is slippery, might be a good idea to have nonslip mat or strips on floor before someone get hurt when floor is wet. Other towel rack appeared to be missing. We noted holes in the wall where it used to be. Just general cleanliness and repairs would really make this place a super cute place to relax and spend the week.

Needs some attention.
I'm not one to leave reviews often, but my friend and I were a little disappointed with our stay at this cottage. One of the beds had termite droppings all over the sheets. They could also be found in the corners of this bedroom and on the window sills. Led me to believe the sheets hadn't been washed in quite a while. The east entrance door is very difficult to open. Needs repair. There's no #6 at the door entrance where you pull up in your vehicle. Makes it difficult to know which unit you're staying in if you arrive at night. The North entrance door is labeled #6 and we didn't know there was a door at this location. The bathroom cold water nozzle is very difficult to turn on. The toilet paper dispenser kept falling off the wall. This property needs attention. The overall neighborhood is safe and quite.
