Everything was amazing, the house was better than we expected with mazing views of the Gulf from the dock. The kayaks provided we great to cruise around the clear and shallow waters. The pool and hot tub were clean and well maintained. Ashley was easy to contact through out the stay, although contact wasn't needed.
The location is only a hundred yards or so down the road from SS Wrecks bar and restaurant, which was a fantastic place to get some drinks and food and be able to walk back to jump in the hot tub.
10/10 highly recommend.

Nice house, nice pool and hot tub, great dock for watching sunsets. Kayaking from dock a little tricky but it works and the kayaks and bikes are included. Screened in pool area keeps out most of the bugs but not the no-see-ums.

The family had a great time at the key lime cottage. The boys were always out on the dock fishing and kayaking. The boys caught a mangrove snapper, puffer fish, gar fish, crabs and even a sting ray. The house was very clean and had great amenities. Highly recommend, will definitely stay again.

We had a nice time. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the pier immensely. TV in the pool area was non-functional - so missed our football game playing in the water.

Key Lime Kottage is a well equipped and well maintained home in a beautiful, private setting. As chief cook, I particularly appreciated the well equipped kitchen.

The house is in a great private location and an easy drive to the nearby stores, restaurants, and beaches (one restaurant was withing walking distance (SS Wreck Galley Grill). We loved the pool/hot tub & dock; the size of the house was perfect for our party of five. It was a nice drive to Key West and made a good day trip. Fishing was good for the guys; their favorite spot was Seven Mile Bridge.

KLK was an amazing place for our first trip to the keys. Home is as advertised with all the amenities you need, easy water access for kayaks and plenty to do within walking or easy drive . Pool was perfect alternative to beaches and boating/fishing. This rental set a new high bar for future vacations.

The house and property was very clean. The pool was very relaxing and got to do some fishing on the dock. Having the mangroves on both sides of the property made it very private and also there was plenty of wildlife. The iguanas were very friendly. We will definitely love to come back

The house was great. It was very clean and private. The kids loved the screened in pool area and we also enjoyed the dock to watch the sunset. The house is located 1hr from key west and 1hr from key largo so a perfect location. We had a great family vacation.

My husband and I rented this house to visit Key West and to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The Key Lime Kottage has everything you need for a peaceful yet fun home. We loved the complete privacy (trees on both sides of the house), the salt water pool, and a private dock to watch the sunsets.
Ashley and Paul are wonderful hosts and were very quick to answer your questions. This house is a hidden gem and if we return to the Keys, we will be back!

Property is as listed and is in a great location. You are minutes from marathon and grocery stores. The SS wreck and galley grille and the Dolphin research center are a short walk from the home. We fished from the dock and caught plenty of fish. The pool and hot tub are amazing and the enclosure makes it a perfect spot to relax all day. There was a large Iguana that hangs out by the dock that we saw daily. It was an amazing family vacation and I would highly recommend.

This property is beautiful. The house itself easily accommodates a family of six. Kitchen is very functional and the pool with attached hot tub is very secluded from public view. It is a salt water pool if that matters. There is a very secure dock at the back end of the property that goes directly to the Gulf. There are visitors that appear and disappear from the mangroves, most notably a pair of iguanas. Do not hesitate to rent this property.

We loved staying at Key Lime Cottage! The property was beautiful and comfortable, and the location was so convenient - within a 10-15 min drive are groceries, restaurants, and so many activities (we absolutely loved the Dolphin Research Center that was within walking distance!). The pool and hot tub were a hit for my 13-year-old twins, and my husband and I loved the quiet privacy the mangroves provided.
We were able to easily fit in a day trip down to Key West which was perfect - took about 1.5 hours to get there.
Ashley was a great host - she was proactive in reaching out to be sure we had everything we needed!
I would highly recommend Key Lime Kottage for your Keys vacation!

Key Lime Kottage was an amazing home base for our first trip to the Keys which won't be our last. The hosts have furnished the home very well, beds were all very comfortable, linens were soft and towels nice and fluffy. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals and the property is close to a number of fun restaurants.
The private dock with amazing views of sunsets, so peaceful in the mornings as well, easy kayaking and fishing access was one of our favorite parts of the home. The enclosed pool was heated to a very comfortable temperature and the hot tub was fun for the people in the group that get cold easily. Lots of pool toys for kids and plenty of seating options made the pool a nice relaxing hangout for hours each day of our stay.
We'd love to return to KLK some year!

My family stayed here the last week in December 2022 and it was one of the best places we have ever had the chance to stay. My four young boys enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well as the chance to fish off the dock. We even took the kayaks out for a tour of the mangroves. I must say this place felt like our own little resort. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and the owners as amazing to work with! They are so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process!

We, as a family, have stayed in several rentals in the mid Keys over the past 20 years. This by far was the best vacation rental home that we have stayed in as it had everything we were looking for. We loved having the Dolphin Research Center and the S.S. Wreck/Sports Grill within walking distance. The Curry Hammock State Park is just down the road and has a very well kept sand beach that the family enjoyed. There is a small daily fee but well worth the price to enjoy a beautiful day on a well kept beach.
The accommodation and location was above our expectations. There were no immediate neighbors on either side...nothing but gorgeous mangrove trees surrounding us. A beautiful long dock that was clean, lit with lights, and excellent fishing for the family right off the dock. The home was updated, well decorated, and had everything needed (kitchen well stocked and grill was great). The pool and hot tub was the best we have ever experienced. The TV at the hot tub was a big hit for the family as we enjoyed watching the games (sports) and family game shows in the evenings while relaxing in the hot tub! This was time well spent together making memories through fun and lots of laughter!
We enjoyed the extra benefit of having bicycles, kayaks, corn hole, and pool rafts/floats available to use. The bay was excellent for kayaking and adventures. It was nice as we could set on the dock bench while watching the family kayak and explore the mangroves, wildlife and fishing.
The hosts were readily available if we had a need...but everything was perfect! The landscaping, lighting, and mangrove trees gave you the tropical escape that we were looking for!
After two weeks of staying at this property, we hated to leave this tropical paradise! A personal thank you to our hosts, Ashley and Paul for providing our family an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful and memorable two weeks at Key Lime Kottage!
Awesome Hosts and Property!

We had the best time at KLK, fun using the kayaks, relaxing in the pool/hot tub and seeing all the wild life right on this beautiful property. Thanks to Ashley for always being available and offering her favorites list (SS Wreck does have the best key lime pie!). We also recommend renting kayaks at Curry Hammock State Park and a fishing charter with Capt. Tony Singing Reels Islamorada (caught 32 yellowtail snappers!). We can’t wait to come back again real soon!

The property was well cleaned and maintained. My family and I enjoyed it very much. I personally loved the fact that I could fish all day and relax at the pier. And as well as I could go to the pool and spa area which was amazing and very clean. Loved it overall and had a blast if you want to just relax and enjoy time with family and friends this is an amazing place to do it!!!

We only live about 3 hours away from the Keys, but visit Marathon every summer. We were so lucky to find this gem! Pictures are 100% accurate! The house was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoy cooking our meals while on vacation and the kitchen had what we needed. We fished off the dock, and my son and I enjoyed using the kayaks at sunset. The pool and spa are such a treat! Every night, we enjoyed movies in the pool. Ashley was super responsive to all questions. If you are looking for a week in Paradise, give Key Lime Kottage a go- you will not be disappointed.
