Thank you so much for this glowing review Kathy! We are thrilled that you loved the excellent accommodations and location. Yes, the sunrise views are incredible and we hope you'll return soon to experience them again!
We enjoyed our stay here! The home is very clean and well-kept, the beds and linens were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for our short stay. We appreciated the soft shower towels and pool towels as well. We would gladly return to this property again in the future.

We’re grateful for your glowing review Nathan! It was such a pleasure to host you, and we’re already looking forward to your return to the island.
The house is really nice. I did not get to enjoy the amenities in the park since we traveled to key west. I would stay here again! It’s forcing me to do a rating on pool and facilities but I don’t know. Disregard that.

Thank you so much for the excellent rating and kind review Mary! We love that you enjoyed the home and would stay with us again. Please come back soon!
This is one of the best rental units in venture out. The location on the canal looking out at the bay is very nice and gets a breeze. The furnishing and layout are great too. Would love to stay here again.

Ben, we’re grateful for your glowing review! It was such a pleasure to host you, and we’re already looking forward to your return to the island.
The view was excellent. The house itself was in horrible disrepair. Lights didn’t work, appliances broke, the window treatments were broken, the toilet seat handles cracked,the stair railings were broken and dangerous,the laundry door was off the hinges and the furniture was scratched.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Michael. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the view—that’s something many of our guests truly appreciate.
That said, we take concerns about the condition of the home very seriously. We want to clarify that prior to your arrival, all lighting and major systems were fully inspected and in working order. During your stay, we responded immediately to the items you reported, including repairing the toilet handle and addressing the laundry door. These types of issues, while unfortunate, can occasionally occur in any well-used home and were not an indication of "horrible disrepair". We also understand there was some confusion regarding the window treatments. Instructions were provided, and additional in-person assistance was given to ensure they were functioning properly for you. Regarding the stair railings, our records and follow-up inspection indicated damage occurred during the stay. Regardless, repairs were arranged as quickly as possible to maintain safety and the quality of the home. We strive to provide a well-maintained and comfortable experience for every guest and we regret that your stay did not meet your expectations. At the same time, we stand by the condition of the property and the responsiveness of our management team in addressing concerns as they arose. We appreciate your feedback and we wish you the best in your future travels.
We had an awesome week at this property. I highly recommend this property ... fantastic communication, clean and exactly as described on the listing.

One of One Stays
We were on the end of canal with wonderful sunrise.Beds comfortable and the towels were large and plush.Well equipped kitchen for our cooking needs.A well maintained community with a pool, convenience store home to RVs as well as permanent places to stay.
The place was great and exactly what was shown. Having our boat out back was great. Great facilities including boat ramp, pool area and store. All the amenities you need at the house and Cudjoe Key is beautiful and has some great restaurants. I would recommend this home and resort to everyone.
