The property was very nice, I wanted to rent again for next March but found out that vrbo had already rented it out without asking if we were interested in rerenting.. in the past that was part of the contract. very unhappy with that part of my trip.

Tropical Paradise Wonderful in All Aspects!

The house was absolutely amazing. From a boaters perspective to a vacationers perspective this home hits all marks. We had a great family vacation we loved sitting on the porch looking out over the open water. We had such an amazing time and couldn't ask for anything more. This will be our first look for the next vacation!

Wonderful Vacation

This is the second year we have stayed at this house. We love the location, the VIEWS, and having a boat ramp on the premises. It is a quiet neighborhood. The neighbors are very friendly. The place is nicely decorated, clean, and up to date. The owners are very welcoming and get things fixed if anything needs repairs. If we come back to Cudjoe, this will be the only place we stay.

Incredible Views and perfect Stay

This house exceeded our expectations. The interior is clean and up to date. The views were spectacular. Very quiet , peaceful neighborhood. Spoke with the owners several times, I feel like we became friends, their only concern was to be sure our stay was comfortable. The boat launch onsite is a definite plus. We will be back. We have stayed at 5 other homes on Cudjoe over the years and this was the best. On a scale of 1-10. It is 10+

May ‘21 Port Royal

As advertised!! Cudjoe Key isn’t Duck Key or Islamorada, and that makes it a really relaxed and an easy place to hang out; 25 mins to Key West for dinner with family. What a perfect location for a fishing person. I launched / loaded my 20’ Aquasport easily, docking is good. Sleeper place; if you want pretty quick access to fishing water, this is it. Small/narrow but adequate channel puts you in 3+ feet once you leave the dock. About the house, all good. New, cool bathrooms, air conditioner gets very cold Downstairs area great for anything, nice big open space. Great communications with Janet and Ali they were easy to transact with, helpful, and gracious property owners. I recommend this property if you’re wanting to fish, chill and enjoy the end of the day

Great month in the Florida Kays

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The house had everything I needed and the dock on the canal and boat launch on the property was extremely convenient! Great views of Cudjoe Bay! The owners were very easy to communicate with and checked in a few times to make sure everything was good. Would definitely stay again.

The perfect spot for the perfect vacation

Cutthroat Harbor Estates is awesome. The views of sunset and sunrise are wide, colorful, peaceful, and inspiring. The owners and caretakers worked for our comfort non-stop. The house is perfectly outfitted for long stays -- just bring your suitcase and you will want for nothing. An added advantage is you are only 22 miles from Key West where entertainment is non-stop. Top-notch restaurants are within 1-3 miles. Just do it!

A little piece of paradise.

From the very moment we arrived we were pleased. Everything was exactly as described and the owners were so helpful and pleasant to deal with. The accompanying boat launch is a must for boaters, and with the quick access to Cudjoe bay plus the sunset views, we definitely didn’t want to leave. Will be back again next year for sure, and will miss every minute until then! Thank you again for your hospitality and such a fantastic stay!

Wonderful Property, Owners, Sunsets. Great Place!

After being in one place for 3 months, we kind of got attached to this place. On Cudjoe, off Spanish Main, you are minutes from shopping , the gym, and some pretty great restaurants. No more than 30 minutes from downtown. Super clean when we arrived.The master bedroom bed was super comfortable. The shower was luxurious and always ran hot. We had guests who told us the guest bedroom was very comfortable. The kitchen was very well appointed and easy to cook in (we love to cook). But...the most spectacular part of this property are those sunsets. We would actually leave our days activities early to get back and have a cocktail on the back-porch with the world renowned Key West Sunsets. We photographed over 40 in the 3 months we were there. All different and all equally amazing. Janet and Imitiaz are really wonderful people. They were always accessible and constantly reiterated to call them for anything. The few times we had questions we got responses within minutes via text. The other big plus for us was the garage. Being able to park our vehicle out of the elements was huge. We would highly recommend this property for a fun stay in the lower Keys!

Vacation

My family and I had an absolutely stay at this property. The house is immaculate and newly remodeled. The property is in a quiet neighborhood and close the Key West. The canalfront location allowed us to dock our boat for easy day trips into the Atlantic. We plan to return as soon as possible. It is without reservation that I recommend the property highly!!

BEST vacation ever.

to say this place is incredible would be a huge understatement. everything from dealing with the owner both before and during the stay(he contacted us several times to make sure things were OK) to receiving back our security deposit went very smoothly. the house itself was perfect for us. furniture was clean and just as you'd want. location is perfect in that it is roughly the same distance either west or east to key west or marathon. we wanted a VERY low key, low stress rental and this certainly fit that bill! my son and i caught tons of fish right off the dock both morning and night (heat of the day seemed to turn off the bite). for beach trips, we chose Sombrero beach in marathon (only 25 miles east) as that was the 'sleepiest'. no crowd at all at anytime of the day as we went both early in the day once and then late in the afternoon the next. the only noise we heard at night was the peaceful sound of gentle winds/breezes flowing through the trees. AC worked very well (we're from DRY, Southern California so humidity causes us serious discomfort). we couldn't have been happier with selecting this place for our vacation!!! 2 thumbs up. in fact, planning for next year's stay is already underway!!!

Perfect Waterfront Keys Getaway

Simply perfect home for anyone who wants a Waterfront vacation. This beautiful two bedroom house overlooks a gorgeous ocean view. The house has everything you need ! Updated bathrooms, large smart TVs, a beautiful balcony overlooking the water with a nice gas grill, and a great kitchen tailor-made for visiting families. It is also only 30 minutes to Key West so you are away from the hustle and bustle but can get to Key West quickly. We went there four times during our stay and had a great time. We brought our boat with us and it's very easy to get in and out of the dock outside the house, it made boating easy. We couldn't of found a better place for our family to spend time in the keys !

Our stay was wonderful! Our host Janet made sure we were satisfied and happy. The view from the wrap around deck was the best. I would love to stay here again. Very clean and updated house. Just an all around great experience that accommodated our group well. Nice quiet neighborhood with great views of ocean, wildlife and sunshine all within 15 minutes of Key West.

Host profile image
I have always dreamed of owning a rental cottage. When I was a child, I used to stay in the deep woods of Northern Michigan. These were the fondest memories of my life. I always adored the historic rental cabins that I saw on my trip. Providing a unique, memorable accommodation to make your vacation even more special has been a lifelong goal of mine. I also teach piano.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property for the ocean front, spectacular views and sunsets, and wildlife around the property.

What makes this property unique

This property has it own private boat launch and ample parking for boat.
The max length of the boat that can be launched is up to 30 foot. Few other properties in neighborhood have the ability to launch boats directly on the property driving in your boat, without excessive rates. You have incredible sunset views that you will not find at other places
