About this property

Duck Key Darling: 2-Bedroom, 2-Bath Townhouse with Exclusive Cabana Club Access

Experience the epitome of luxury at Duck Key Darling, a splendid 2-bedroom, 2-bath Townhouse Villa nestled within Hawks Cay. This exquisite residence offers sweeping vistas of the picturesque Tom's Harbor, enchanting you from both the main living area on the lower floor and the master bedroom upstairs. Under the stewardship of new owners, a meticulous renovation has transformed the entire villa into a realm of 'designer' opulence.

The lower level now boasts a completely reimagined ambiance, featuring a contemporary open-concept design. A recent makeover has introduced vinyl plank flooring throughout, accompanied by a brand-new kitchen adorned with state-of-the-art appliances, pristine cabinets, and granite countertops. The space has been elegantly furnished and outfitted with new beds to ensure an unmatched level of comfort. The kitchen is fully equipped with an array of cooking utensils, pots, and pans. A spacious dining area hosts a rectangular table accommodating up to six guests, complemented by a breakfast bar furnished with three bar stools. The living room, overlooking the water, presents inviting seating arrangements and a TV for your entertainment. Adjacent to the living room, a porch offers the ideal vantage point to witness awe-inspiring sunsets. Here, a teak table and four chairs provide the perfect setting to relish a meal or beverage, enhanced by the warm glow of bistro lights.

The master bedroom, adorned with a queen-sized bed, features an en suite bathroom complete with a tub, a TV, and a private balcony that grants direct open water views. The guest bedroom showcases a versatile bunk bed trundle configuration (upper twin bed, lower full bed, and twin trundle), accompanied by its own TV. The guest bathroom, appointed with a shower, is conveniently positioned in the hallway. Additionally, the second level hosts a washer and dryer within the confines of the master bedroom.

A notable feature of this property is the access it offers to the Cabana Club. Situated in Key Colony Beach, a brief 10-minute drive away, the Cabana Club is an exclusive haven encompassing a heated and cooled pool, a secluded sandy beach, and a charming tiki bar and snack shop. Prior to your arrival, your dedicated property manager will arrange passes, granting you seamless entry to this esteemed Club. Your only task is to check in and immerse yourself in the splendors that await.

It is an open parking lot so there are no restrictions on how many vehicles. No RV's, motorhomes or campers. There is no dockage and no trailer parking, you would need to contact Duck Key Marina or Grassy Key Marina for boat/boat trailer storage. This property does NOT have access to Hawks Cay's amenities as this is not part of the resort.

Disappointed

1. Bed was awful. Memory foam was hot. We finally pulled it off. We dreaded going to bed because it was so badddddd! 2. TV Remote in 2nd bedroom had keys missing in guest bedroom. 3. We were told we were not allowed to use the Resort pool and chairs when the listing said we had privileges. It was clean but very cheaply furnished. We were not expecting The Ritz but we also did not expect the cheapest toilet tissue. Only 2 wine glasses in the whole place!

Nice home but make sure the ac works before having someone stay at the property

The property overall was very nice. We arrived to 79 * in the house it was around 5 pm. Thought we had the ac was working since it did get cooler through the night. The next morning we left to go to the state park and come home to 80* again in the home. After contacting management, we were told someone may not be able to come out because it was Sunday evening. They ending up having someone come out that evening. It was broken and the ac unit could not be repaired fully until Monday. We asked for another unit or place. They were not able to accommodate the request. We have to leave the home and find hotel. Mind you it was 8 pm and now 82 * in the home. The owner has a nest so they can see the temperature of the home on record. Management was not very accommodating or helpful. They didn’t even give us a discount for the one night with them. I’m a landlord and understanding things happen but they should at least been more helpful with their tenant.

Great location!

Very clean and nice furnishings, but bedrooms were very cramped as far as storage for suitcases and no dressers for clothing. Washer and dryer are located in Master bedroom which added to the space issue. Would not be convenient for two couples or a stay of more than 1 week.

What a delight

The property is lovely and exactly as described. Very clean and ready to go. The location is very quiet and the beds were great. Perfect amount of space. Nice location to everything. The property owners thought of everything you would need for any activity. The welcome basket was unexpected but greatly appreciated. Thank you much for a lovely stay.

Problems

Dirty not taking care of and not ready for rent. I honestly hope your company will actively make sure that properties which are listed on your web are much better than this one. Nothing is more important in property when I go to rest for my vacation than clean, fresh not chemically smelly room, and clean bed. This stay ruined my vacation. My family and I didn't want to sleep in the bed. I would hope people would take cleanness seriously. Very disappointing. Ewa

MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE

Great location! Beautiful & safe area. The condo had everything we needed and more. It was very well kept, loved the décor. Only two negative things I'd have to comment on are the mattresses are not comfortable at all. And the Cabana Club pool wasn't not worth the drive to get there. Luckily for us we didn't go to the keys to sit around a pool anyways. I would stay here again... & I'd stay as long as if I could actually.

Duck Key is lovely-Great Sunset Views

This condo was a great base to explore the Keys- only 1 hr 20 min from Key West so not bad if you want to go explore a day or two. Loved the Dolphin Research Center that is near for a really up close dolphin experience. This unit is located in Hawks Cay- We thought when we booked that a pool was here as it was checked as a search filter- When it says that it does not come with Hawks Cay privileges, that means you can not use the pool you can walk to from your unit & must drive, yes drive 8 miles to the Cabana Club for your pool experience. The Cabana Club pool was nice but very crowded with few shaded areas. Forget about getting a chair if you don't line up at 10am. Not the relaxing pool experience we wanted- Other units in Sunset Village come with privileges- you will pay more per night -
