We never expect perfect, but I think that people need to know that all of the pictures in the ad for this place are years outdated. Reality is that the place is not anything close to the pictures. The cottages are not maintained, old furniture, and just barely clean. Toilets have to be plunged every use, (and toilet is on a 45 degree angle so be careful) bring your own toilet paper as you get only half a roll. The kayaks ALL have cracks and holes, don’t plan on using those as they fill up with water quickly. Power is turned off to washer and dryers, not turned on between 4 and 11 in a rustic shed.Trash is NOT picked up at all. Numerous appliance and electrical issues. Dishwashers do not work properly. Dilapidated deck, unsafe railing. Most of the outdoor chairs are falling apart.

I was disappointed that the grounds, pool and inside were not cleaned as they said it would be after each visit. There was mice poop in the cupboards, dead mice in the pool, garbage over flowing and all in the bushes of the property. Electrical outlets didn't work, toilets didn't flush. Even other renters were fixing things at their costs. Even the welcome mat was garbage. Dollar store items could fix some of these issues. Lawn furniture rusted and can cause health issue if you are cut by it. Grate in BBQ rusted and is a health hazard. The location was great. Fishing was great and the beds were comfy!

We rented all three of these cottages for a family weekend. We had our own private beach and pool, but really, it felt as if we had our own private island. The cottage is authentic, unpretentious old Florida — just what we wanted and needed for our extended family. It was also clean and comfortable. Everyone enjoyed both the accommodations and the location.

We enjoyed this property as we celebrated the wedding of a family member. It was perfect for the even that we were trying to create. Convenient to Marathon, yet far enough away to be secluded. Perfect.

This is the second time for our family on the island. We absolutely love it. Antonio made sure our stay was great, thank you! I caught two nurse sharks, saw a Morley eel, and sea turtles right off the dock! The beach is fantastic and a rarity in The Keys. We will be back!

This location was fantastic. However, the property was an absolute dumb. I would never suggest anybody staying here ever in fact, we try to find a hotel that we could switch to, but there was nothing available. Everything was dirty dead cockroaches on the floors the bedding was old and stained, the towels were old and stained. I have a property in Marco Island that we rent out by the week in Marco Island and had a left it in this type of disarray. My renters would have just left and demand their money back. Honestly the owner of this property should be ashamed of themselves.

The place was very private, perfect for our choice. Really enjoyed the nights as well. Beach nice but we we could not swim there, ground very soft in the water. Kayaks were great. Our cottage was in need of general maintenance, I worked construction and modernization good bit of my career probably notice how things are done a bit more. I'm sure the storms take there toll. Boat ramp area really nice, could easily see variety of fish. Could swim there if wanted to. Wish we have had some more time here for sure, we stayed at 3 locations in 8 days while in the keys. This was our favorite, none were bad though. Great time would recommend.

Outstanding on the beach location. Close to parks and restaurants. Evening star viewing was outstanding. A must. Great time had by all

Private beach, only 2 other cottages (occupants were quiet while we were there), a pool right next to the cottage, kayaks, and a short drive to Marathon and Islamorada.
The water is so clear that you can see all kinds of sea creatures (baby shark, jellyfish, fish, coral, sponges)-all kayaking with no one else around. We also saw eagles in a nest on a nearby island.
The owner was around the property working on things so we were able to meet him. Very nice and responded to questions in person and by text. We had an issue and he responded right away.
The owner recently purchased this part of the island and is working to improve the cottages. There was a fresher coat of paint in our cottage than what a person reviewed prior to our stay.
For this location and the time of year that we went (January) there is no question that it is a great value considering the location, amenities, and opportunities available to enjoy the outdoors. There is also a large boat dock and an area to grill by it that is available without an additional charge.

The Keys, sharks, rays, and manatees.
This is a very small island with 5 buildings on it. Private beach, private boat slip, and lots of water. The water here is shallow for a long ways, but the bottom is actually soft mud. But... we used the paddle board and the kayaks several times a day. We saw baby bonet head sharks, baby nurse sharks, rays, octopus, and tons of wildlife. When the tide goes out it is extremely shallow and you can get very close. We even paddled right up to a 5' shark (don't worry... they are harmless). Iguanas and lizards kept the kids entertained for hours when they tired of the perfect waters. Very relaxing, even if a bit rustic. Bug spray is a must at night to sit out, and sun block is a must in the day to sit out and enjoy the views. The owners were amazing to work with and took care of any requests we had. It wasn't the ritz, but who comes to the keys for that?! We came to BBQ fresh Mahi and fresh Tuna right off the boat, sun bathe, and be left alone. Short drive to everything you'd want.

You couldn’t use the pool, the water was green. The floor around toilet was deteriorated and the toilet was sinking on one side. The deck also was splintery. Not good for bare feet. Good location and clean but house really needs some maintenance.

There were no reviews when I booked this. I agree with the first review and will share more. The location is just lovely but that’s where it ends.
The exterior of the unit is dangerous with popped up boards, rust, and missing railings. The grounds keeper was actually patching the railings while we were there. The deck furniture is rusted or broken. When you park under the cottage you will notice the large hole in the units flooring above you with the pipes and insulation exposed. This is because the flooring inside the unit is sagging and caving in! The French doors are all rusted and don’t close properly. The toilet is crooked due to flooring issues. There are barely any cooking items and very few utensils. The wi fi is very spotty if you are depending on it to work from there. The appliances are rusted. There is a hole in the bathroom wall. The pool is as murky and didn’t appear to have a working filter. We stay in multiple VRBO’s a year and I have to say, this was rough. Beautiful location but place needs a lot of work.

Beautiful beach, location and amenities. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. They have just recently purchased and took over this property and it's truly a hidden gem!!

Very private location. We had all the Florida keys amenities from the steps of the cottage : beach, boat ramp, beautiful sunset, kayaks, paddle board, nice swimming area near the boat ramp etc.; without tourists or crowds. Felt like we rented the whole island to ourselves. There was a laundry available, what was not mentioned in the cottage description: a convenient surprise. Cottage was very clean and had all necessities for a comfortable stay.

It looked good on arriving, but the structure needs a lot of work. Deck and railing a little scary. Inside furnishings are cheap and worn. One chair and a sofa so for two couples is a bad plan! Wi-Fi no good and tv sound is terrible. Very overrated and overpriced!
