"We highly recommend the Salty Sanctuary for a getaway. The accommodations worked well for our party of six. The King beds were a plus since we were non couples sharing the beds. We had a few requests that came up and the management team quickly addressed our concerns. One of the highlights was the “heated” pool which was offered at no additional charge. We highly recommend this home and we would definitely reserve again when we return to Duck Key."

"The surrounding property is beautiful and the house truly felt like a sanctuary. We loved the little pool and shaded yard, beds and linens were comfortable, and we used the kitchen to prepare meals! There's so much outdoor space to enjoy. It was a lovely stay. The location was great - 15 minutes to Sombrero Beach, and a grocery store. An hour or so from Key West, we were able to explore. We would definitely come back!"

Our first visit to the Keys

Great property! Plenty of space for our families; the back deck was relaxing & pool was the perfect spot to cool off after a day out on the water. There are restaurants located within Duck Key as well as other great restaurants & shopping located just a short 15 minute drive to Marathon. This house is the perfect central location for activities, shopping, restaurants, & all you need to enjoy a memorable vacation!

Property Management

Location is great and it’s a very quiet neighborhood. We were VERY DISAPPOINTED that for as much as we paid to rent this place for the week that we had to go buy more toilet paper because the owner or property management team is too cheap to supply their guests more than 1 roll per bathroom. I reached out to the property manager to ask for more toilet paper and they told me to go fly a kite and reminded me it’s in the contract of the house. They also expect all linens to be cleaned when you leave otherwise they’ll charge you extra. There’s a lot of rules on what not to do otherwise they will charge you extra money. Great house and location, but we won’t stay again just for those reasons.

Review of Duck Key rental

The property was not well-maintained. Upon arrival there were no toiletries at all in the house. Also went to pull in the refrigerator handle and it broke. I have rented many homes and understand that at the end of the day it’s a rental. However, there was mold on the shower curtain and the bathtub floor was dirty. I found a dead bug in the doorway upon arrival. They were really no amenities to make you feel welcome and certainly nothing special. Bare bones. In addition there are only 2 1/2 bathrooms both located on the upper floor and only a half bath on the lower floor. It’s advertised for 10 people to stay there I’m not sure how that could be possible. The upstairs master bedroom has a smaller room attached with a trundle bed. That was not advertised… It was advertised as four bedrooms. Also there are no closets and very few hangers. they only offer wall hangers for your clothing. I’ve never seen a home without closets. For the money we paid for a long weekend And then he would have been better spent at Cheeca Lodge. I would not recommend this home.

The only negative things with the stay was that online it advertised 2 queen beds per bedroom and could sleep 6 but there were 3 king beds instead. This created somewhat of a problem. Also, the pool was dirty and did not have heat

The house is spacious and well appointed. The resort is really nice but you don’t have any access to their amenities. The pool is heated and great for kids. I was surprised that there was no grill. Also there was no beach gear available, we had to rent it elsewhere.
