Great Keys Getaway

My family and I (two adults, two teens) fully enjoyed our trip. This was one of the cleanest rental properties I’ve ever stayed in! We loved having bikes and kayaks available, plus a pool and dock. The night stars were gorgeous and the daytime water views were lovely. Great spot in the lower Keys for access to marinas and the Key Deer Refuge while being quiet enough to fully check out.

Cudjoe

Very clean, nice warm pool overlooking ocean. Went on kayaks! Just be aware if there are older people visiting with bad knees, hips etc., there’s a big flight of stairs to go up and down. I was glad our 93 year old friend cancelled. He would not have been able to get up stairs. But overall it was very nice 2 day stay

Beautiful condo

We loved the location to Key West.The condo was very roomy for 2 adult couples, very comfortable, well-stocked kitchen and loved the view from the balconies off the bedrooms. Having bikes and kayaks at hand was great. Wonderful chairs on the dock to watch the sunset.

Condo is comfortable but has poor view of the water

Melanie gets top rating for being quick and thorough in responding to our questions or problems. The furniture was very comfortable and were the beds.The kitchen was well stocked with pot/pans/utensils and dishes but did not have an abundance of silverware so we had to run the dishwasher every day.Our biggest disappointment was the poor viewing of water. The ocean was only visible from the second third floor porch.

Beautiful home!

Visited for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful stay. Gorgeous home! Plenty of room for a family of four (3 adults and 1 teen) especially having a third full bath. Nice pool area with a heated pool and beautiful views. Close enough to Key West to go back and forth. We will definitely return!

Highly suggested!

This is a great place to call home while visiting the keys. The location was great for exploring all of the other keys including Key West, and it was away from all the noise and commotion. Very easily accessible. The house was super clean and tidy with more than enough room for the two of us. The space would definitely be roomy enough for a family or for sharing with another couple. We would definitely stay again

Great place

Fun times for mini season 2024. Great communication with the host the entire time. She even got me a spot to keep my trailer. There was room for all of the boats at the various docks on premises. The house was clean and the 3 full bathrooms were clutch. The only thing I would change are the beds. They made noise every time we moved. LOL. Hopefully, they will replace them with king beds at some point. The rooms are definitely large enough to accommodate. We felt very safe there and the neighbors were super nice.

A very nice property in a good location

The property is as shown in the pictures. It is well maintained and supplied (although we were one short in wash clothes with three for the four of us) with everything you need to cook meals and had plenty of towels otherwise. There was a minor issue in the kitchen, but it was quickly taken care of. Communication with the owner was excellent. It was a short drive to the grocery store and about half an hour to Key West so very well located for a good time in the southern Keys. We also enjoyed the pool so all in all a very pleasant visit

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication

Unfortunately, I had the bad experience of choosing this property as a destination for a mini vacation with my wife, two babies and family. First: On the website at the time of booking it says one price for cleaning fee and the property manager writes to me before going in a text message asking me for information about the guests who were going to go and he told me that the cleaning fee was much higher than what was on the website, when I confronted him, he told me that it was an error on the reservation website. Second: The property manager used the security cameras to watch us the entire weekend and send us messages and calls offensive. Third: The pool is extremely small, believe me when I say extremely small, it only fits a maximum of 6 people, total disaster. Fourth: Be careful with the bicycles because you can fall because they are all rusty and out of maintenance. Fifth: The sleeping mattresses are extremely uncomfortable, but very uncomfortable not from a reservation as expensive as it is plus the cleaning fee expensive. Sixth: Make sure you bring garbage bags because there are none. I found an opinion from another customer in internet in the address of the place who had the same thing happen to me with this property,the property manager makes excuses to collect your deposit.

Nice Stay

Location was great to Key West as well as access to grocery stores. The view from the dock was spectacular. The pool was a bit small but it was not a problem as there were not alot of guests in the pool at one time. The door handle to the oven was quite loose but Melanie got it fixed quickly. Some other minor problems were the following: the clicker to open the gate didn't work, the door lock worked for 2 days but then stopped working, the can opener didn't work which was an issue because we needed to open several cans for a dinner we were preparing(luckily our friends who were staying there had a working one), there was a pan for use in the kitchen that was very scratched up which was not healthy to use and the internet worked about 50% of the time. The temperature in the condo was perfect the entire stay. Overall we had a pleasant stay and would recommend this unit.

This property is in a great location in the FL Keys. The space was clean and well-appointed with everything you need for a great stay. The grounds are well maintained have access to the water and a very nice pool area. We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing on the dock. Restaurants are a very short drive away. Host was the most responsive and attentive of any similar property we've stayed at. This is a great pick for a family vacation in the Keys!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie

I am the property manager. I live only a few minutes from the property and you will have my cell phone number so I will be available to help with any issues that may arise. I think you will find me very easy to deal with.
I try very hard to help my renters in any way I can, and I try to provide an exceptionally clean and comfortable home.

Why they chose this property

Sunrise Beach is always a quiet place to relax. With nearby dive companies, or your own boat, you can explore some of the most beautiful reefs in the Keys just a few miles off shore. Nearby Key West (17 miles) is always a fun trip for a wide variety of food and entertainment. However, three of my top five favorite restaurants anywhere in the keys are less than 5 miles away. You will be staying in one of eleven stilt homes in this secluded gated community.

What makes this property unique

Our house has a chic cottage feeling to help you feel like you are at the beach. come relax in the hammock or come and enjoy all the water activity the keys have to offer.
we supply you with sugar, tea, and coffee pods for the keurig as well as ground coffee for the drip coffee pot. We have limited spices and other pantry items that you are free to use during your stay.
We supply some paper towels and toilet paper to get you started and bars of soaps . You will also find bath wash, shampoo, and conditioner , hair dryers, and various other items in case you forget something at home.
