Great place to stay!

Overall everything was great but the lock on the door did not work so i got the code for the lockbox with 1 key. This did not get resolved on our stay so we had to work around this issue even though we communicated with the staff.

Beautiful cottage and great location!

Very well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Beds were very comfortable and great being able to walk 50 steps to beach. We would definitely rent again. Teeming Vacation Rentals were very easy to deal with and very attentive to our needs.

Key Lime Cottage

This was our second time staying at Key Lime cottage. We enjoy being close to the beach and having bars and restaurants just across the street. The cottage could use a little TLC but we knew that when we booked. We would definitely book it again.

Absolutely Perfect

I was born in Clearwater/IRB, I know the area very well though I moved away 25 years ago. Key Lime Cottage was perfectly what I wanted to show my son where I'm from. The photo's and listing are very accurate and to my pleasant surprise there was a little outdoor seating area. Beds are comfortable and it's quiet. I will for sure rent this place again!!

Perfect!

Exactly what we needed. Quiet, clean, great neighborhood, walk to beach, awesome amenities, walking distance to anything you need on the strip, too many tv channels to choose from, great wifi, beach chairs, paddle boards and kayaks. Definitely loved our stay and was great because it's also close driving distance inland since we went to see family. My kids husband and I hope to return soon. Highly recommend this place to others.

Very Enjoyable Stay.

The cottage was just perfect for my family of four, two adults and two teens. Loved being so close to the water. My teens loved being able to use the paddle boards and kayaks that were at the sister resort which is practically next door. My husband and I loved sitting at the fire pit in the evening which was at the sister resort as well. We had a lot of fun meeting other families who were staying there as well. Great restaurants up and down the island. Plan to get groceries before checking in as you would have to travel back over the bridge to the mainland for their nearest grocery store. I would definitely love to stay here again. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Good place close to beach with a few exception

Love how close it is to the beach and how private the beach by the cottage is. Beach is not busy clean and fun. Cottage is nice could use update cooking utensils and a new grill. Rest of the cottage is great, only 800 sq. foot but plenty of room if you going to the beach everyday like me. A huge plus is being able to use the faculties next door a the Bungalow Beach Place. A huge plus is the ice machine there. I stayed at the cottage last year and they had paddleboards and kayak boats. They were not there this year and asked host about with no responds. These were great for my kids to keep them busy on the beach and they were very upset they were gone this year. But over all I would stay there again.

Cute Key Lime Cottage

Key Lime Cottage was perfect for our vacation. The cottage was plenty big enough for 3-4 people. We really enjoyed how close we were to the beach. The use of the kayaks, paddle boards and beach chairs was definitely a bonus. We hope to come back again!
