About this cottage rental

Nestled in Duck Key, this lovely cottage for $325 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Our Bayfront hideaway cottage is located in the middle Keys on a small island called 'Conch Key', and offers some of the best sailing in the Gulf anywhere in the Keys. Our guests have exclusive use of 23', well maintained, ComPac sailboats, for the duration of their stay. The island is the smallest island in the Keys. It is reminiscent of a quaint Bahamian lobster fishing village, with colorful cottages nestled closely together. Rustic wharves are charmingly cluttered with lobster traps, nets, and fishing gear. There is a well kept secret that lobster and fish are both plentiful. Back country fishing and off shore sport fishing are readily available. Our ideal location near Marathon, in the middle Keys, will allow you to visit both Key West and Key Largo, each approximately one hour away. Additionally, we offer dock space with water and electricity for our guests wanting to bring their own boat for some of the best fishing in the world. Impeccably clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Since 1988, we have taken pride in the fact that we have the cleanest, most well-maintained accommodations in the Florida Keys!

The cottage was very cute and full of character! We appreciate the great hospitality Barry extended. Would definitely suggest this as a great place to stay for some time in the Florida Keys!

My husband and I stayed 4 nights in this cottage in Conch Key. We were greeted by the host when we arrived and again when we checked out. The cottage was well maintained with everything working and decorated with sea and beach memorabilia that was fun to explore. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare simple meals. The host provided fishing poles and the fishing gear. My husband loved using these to fish off the dock in back of the cottage. Sailboats, kayaks and bikes were also available. We don't sail but did fully enjoy the rest. The location was great for exploring the middle and lower keys. We would love to go back again next year.

Old Florida - the only way to go! Quaint, clean & quiet - just what you need for a relaxing vacation. Nothing fancy - just the "slow & easy" life in the Keys. A few days on the water looking for "bugs", nice dinner in a local restaurant, & coffee on the back porch with the cool, fresh air = the best time.

This was our first experience in the Keys. We had a great time. We will definitely be back next year but I think we will be staying in Key West. There is more to see and do there.

We recently had a week-long stay at this property in Conch Key for the mini lobster season. Berry welcomed us and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the nautical decorations and felt it was very clean. To top it all off, the views from the back porch and dock were beautiful.

When we decided to travel to the Keys, we wanted to find a special, unique, homey, rustic “Keys” feel, something on water, not tons of people, and a private home. We found it all and so much more in this special home. This place, it’s owners Barry (and Tammy we hope to meet you on our next visit) are something truly special on so many levels. From the moment you enter you feel like your in a true step back in historical time. So many trinkets, gadgets, old nautical artifacts, etc. while this home is not a luxury hotel/home, it has more charm and warmth than any place I’ve ever stayed. Barry was wonderful in his communication, prompt in responses (thanks Barry for putting up w my endless inquiries and “research”:). Our stay was made even better when met some other friends, went sailing on the boat, shared dinner together and heard such great tales and experiences of the Keys from Barry. He gave fantastic suggestions on things to see and great recs on restaurants. He even escorted us and got us into the Dolphin Research Center ! Not too many hosts that make everything so special for guests. We cooked steak, crab and tuna on the outdoor grill. We fished nightly off the dock and caught several fish. The floating platform made for memorable wine, fishing and the most gorgeous sunsets ever. We spent a lot of time in the kayaks, and watching the parrot fish swim near the dock. We had the greatest time, and NO doubt will be returning. Thanks so much Barry.

The four of us adults had a wonderful stay - we rented both the cabin and the upstairs "treetop", so there were 2 bathrooms and plenty of privacy with beautiful sunsets and a relaxing vibe. Conch Key is central to Islamorada and Marathon Keys, so there was so much to do, we had a hard time squeezing it all in during our 4 days there. Barry is quite the character and so accommodating, we even enjoyed margaritas and conversation when he brought more mixer after we ran out! We must be some of the luckiest guests ever, as a family of manatees joined us one evening and hung around the docks long enough for us to see them on our way out for a sail and for quite a while after we returned! We were sorry to have to leave so soon, but Tammy made sure to invite us back which would be great! We all would recommend staying here if you like real down-to-earth hosts, wild sea animals (we also spotted a giant sea turtle on one of our sails), and the laid back "old Florida " lifestyle.

What a wonderful surprise! The house was filled with period pieces of nautical nostalgia. My husband is a history buff and a nautical enthusiast, so he thoroughly enjoyed the environment. Gorgeous sunsets, great sailing and other water gear. I highly recommend this place!
