We had a great time at this perfectly located, beautiful condo. It was well-appointed and the minor issues we had were quickly resolved by the property management. The views of the water are lovely and it was really guider, which we loved. We would recommend and would stay here again!
So clean and a much needed quiet, peaceful weekend.

The place was located so you did not need to travel great distances to get to many of the wonderful attractions . Only disadvantage was that there was no pool
Property was clean; in a great location. Check in/out procedures were clearly outlined well in advance of our stay. Only a couple of rolls of toilet paper (not nearly enough for a 6 day stay). Part of the door seal on the front door was hanging 3/4 of the way off. Contacted the management team to let them know. Still not fixed when we left. No biggy for sure. Furniture and beds were comfortable. View off the balcony’s was fantastic. I would stay here again.
Perfect Duck Key location for our Hawks Cay Resort event. The decor was stylish and coastal, the home was comfortable and inviting, and check-in was seamless. A great place to stay in the Florida Keys.
Beautiful place. Beautiful spot. Get groceries before you get to Duck Key— best options in Marathon if coming up from Key West. You will need to provide your own salt, pepper, comdiments, cooking oil, any extra laundry detergent, tp, paper products. There will be a limited starter supply. Weather is often conducive to leaving windows open. Main level one has a screen, one bedroom has no screen, the other had a ripped one. There are a lot of mosquitoes, so you will wake up with bug bites if you leave the doors open overnight. Beach towels are supplied and there are many beaches to explore in the Keys. Dolphin Connection at resort next door is a great experience.

Nice Property, Great Location
We were here for a 20th wedding anniversary trip. The condo was in a great location between Marathon and Islamorada. We had a rental car so we were easily able to access everything we wanted within a 25 minute drive either way. You were able to see the sunrise each morning from either the upper or lower decks. This was not a large place but is was very comfortable for two couples. It was very clean and well cared for. The storage for clothes and other personal items in the two bedrooms was lacking a bit, but we were able to make it work. The Duck Key area is a beautiful place and we would definitely come again in the future.
