Couple getaway

Having the pool, tiki bar, and restaurant available was a plus. Nice location, close to Sombrero Beach, 7 mile bridge, grocery stores and multiple restaurants. Air conditioning unit was a little loud, cozy unit for two people, had a futon, advertised to sleep 4, but that would be crowded, unless you’re a family with younger kids, no kitchen table or dishwasher

Great location / Decent property

Skipjacks is a good resort that has been upgrading each year. This unit is as described. The furnishings and appliances are all good. The bed is comfortable. Overall, it is a good property. Where it misses an excellent rating is in the details. For example, no screen on the sliding door and a broken screen on the window. Subpar kitchenware, worn and stained rugs, and plastic, faded chairs in the balcony.

Great Little Place

Vacation Rentals of the Florida Keys is a fantastic company to rent from. They promptly addressed and resolved all the issues that arose during our stay. It was easy to get in touch with them at any hour, day or night. When I encountered problems with my credit card, they worked with me seamlessly.The rental was a bit more outdated than I had anticipated, but it was clean. The resort where the rental is located has a wonderful little bar by the pool, and we were fortunate to meet incredibly friendly people there.All in all we had a great time on our little runaway. Thank you very much VROTFK!!

Nice home base for the Florida Keys

The property was comfortable and stocked with all the necessities. It is about a 1.25 hour drive to Key West. There were many stores and restaurants nearby, including a full grocery store. We did not take advantage of the pool next door, but it was nice to know it was available. Nearby Sombrero Beach was very nice. We would recommend this property for a Keys vacation.

Property Is Under MAJOR Construction? Seriously?

The condo building is hanging the rebar replaced in the support walls. This is mandatory per Florida codes. They use Jack hammers to knock out sections of the support wall directly under the unit we rented. Needless to say the noise, dust, and vibration was unbearable and unacceptable. The place was dirty, smelled bad (human oil and BO and musty moldy smell). The couch smelled bad. The AC United are incredible noisy and loud. The place needs updating. The owner offered a discount for the time we had to spend away from the unit due to noise.which was nice, but it should not have been on the market.

Spring break family trip

We traveled to the Keys for spring break. Myself, husband and 18 year old kid. The apartment was clean. Bed was a tad firm for me but my husband slept great. Kitchen had all the items you'd need to cook on site. Bathroom was clean. Hosts were very easy to reach. Resort amenities were great. Pool and bar area are really nice for hanging out. Food at the resort restaurant was also really good.

Marathon Stay

While the place we stayed was very clean and well stocked, the pictures did not show the correct property. Pictures made us think we were actually staying at Skipjacks resort, but instead stayed at the less appealing, initially stetchy looking building next door. The room we stayed in was privately owned and nice inside, but the outside was a little deceiving. The hosts were easy to contact and talk to. There are conveniently located stores around so you really don’t have to travel far for everyday needs/wants. Plus the local food was delicious everywhere we went

What a gem! So lucky we found this place.

The prop mgmt team does a great job. Loved the extensive welcome basket. Quick to respond when needed a light bulb. Beach chairs were a great surprise and much needed. Extremely convenient to the beach which has facilities. Didn't dine at the restaurant or pool only because so many local places to try. Close to the amazing, and highly recommended, Turtle Rescue facility which gives tours. Others on tour came from far away to visit. We were only 5 min drive. Close this apt because full kitchen which came in super handy. Other units on the floor only had mini bar. Didn't use the community washing machines but were available. GREAT place !

The unit we rented was clean and very nicely decorated. The pool and pool bar was also nice. We ordered a huge pizza from the pool bar that was delicious! Our first day at the property we inadvertently left our key on the table by the door and locked ourselves out. Luckily there was a contact number in case of an emergency. It was the 3rd of July and we were worried we wouldn't be able to reach anyone to let us back in. Luckily we were able to contact the property manager, Bonnie, and she was gracious to drive to our unit which allowed us to re-enter. Our deepest gratitude to her for that. As far as a critique of the unit there was only 2 very minor things that should be attended to. The closet has no hangers and a dozen or so would be great. Also there are no comfortable pillows so I ended up putting a pillow case on one of the shams which was more comfortable than any pillow. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we would be happy to stay here again in the future.
