Everything is worth 5 starts. The villa was neat, clean and over the expectations. We will come back again
4.0 / 10.0
The beds were very comfortable, the unit was spacious and the view was beautiful.
When we walked in the unit it smelled like fish, was not very clean at all. There were black smudges and fingerprints on walls and doors and when we pulled a dinner plate out of cupboard, there were fish scales on the plate. When we opened the dishwasher, it smelled rotten and was disgusting. Not one, but both toilets were broken and we had to wait until the next day to get them fixed. One toilet was clogged which was disgusting and the other was not flushing well at all AND was leaking nasty toilet water all over the floor. Some of the furniture was in pretty bad shape with broken doors, etc. The jack and Jill bathroom tub was dirty and there was mildew. It also leaked from the shower head and soaked the toilet paper. There was no instructions for where to take trash or anything else. There were two vacuums that did NOT work and two dustpans, but no broom. We couldn’t sweep up or cleanup. They also only provided two trash bags which is insane to think 7 people will only produce 2 small trash bags with of trash in 3 nights/4days.
We paid over $1600 to stay in this place for 3 nights and these problems should not have been our problem. We asked for a partial refund and were given $100. I don’t think we’ve seen that yet. But, we think we should receive at least a full nights refund since we were without working toilets for a day. This unit could be great but instead it’s just overpriced.

Beautiful condo with lovely amenities. Great location to all things involved with our family wedding. Enjoyed our walks through the pretty property. We had a fabulous stay!
2.0 / 10.0
This unit is in very bad shape. Several items are broken, we had mosquitos in the unit every night with all the doors closed. The WiFi didn't work. The TV didn't work. Fan broke, Fan light broke, drawers falling off coffee table, ripped screens, broken exterior door to utility closet, I could go on.... We had 1 trash bag and paper towel roll for 6 of us. The owner really needs to go stay there for a few days to see the condition.
However other than this unit being trashed, it was a really nice size. We had 6 people there and had plenty of room. Nice big bathrooms. Great view of the water and nice big back lanai. The resort was really nice. Great location to everything. The check in and check out was very easy. As they mentioned in the listing, you DO NOT have access to the amenities at the resort. We knew that but after seeing the amenities we'd like to book again at the resort to enjoy them. I'd highly suggest this resort but not this unit.

The elevator was out for last couple of days, lots of toilet issues but they dutifully came out to fix them. We were late on check out by 40 mins. Staff had to wait.
8.0 / 10.0
The property was nice and comfortable. Just a few things that I would recommend. The chairs on the lanai were very aged and sagging to the point they were difficult to sit in. Also the bathrooms were supplied with tiny soaps and the dispensers in the showers were empty. Again, comfortable villa but thought I would share those few items. Thanks, Mike Uselton

Searched specifically for a place with washer/dryer as we were fishing alot and packed with minimal clothes. We arrived to find the washer/dryer were missing and water leak on our hands. Luckily we figure out the hose to the washer had not been turned off and put it back into the drain hole. We then had to use the 4 very super small towel we had in a place that slept 8 for the water that was no leaking out from under the vanity. I will say they were super responsive and brought up much bigger, nicer and numerous towels to use for the rest of the trip. Was told at that time an email was supposed to have gone out to guests to inform of the no washer dryer. I get that the supply chain is messed up and takes weeks, we would have packed differently. To what was a very nice place with a very nice view, there was a 1/2 of roll of toilet paper in the master with no spare. The other bathroom had 1.5 roles. We stayed for 6 days and when I asked about an extra roll, they said they only supplied the started one. Well, we didn't even get a full one. For the price, the location and how everything else was, an extra roll or two of toilet paper or better response to the question would have made all the difference in the world. We had to spend extra money on clothes to make it through the week and still hand washed half of our items. No offer of a partial discount for our trouble. This place could be great with some minor changes that wouldn't cost them much a few bucks of a discount for our troubles and 2 extra rolls of toilet paper. We have rentals ourselves, those are well worth the customer investment. But, would suggest the place if you know all this going in--great centralized location to fishing and Key West.

Clean location. Good views. Enjoyed our stay. Could have used more garbage bags and other basics. Would have liked to see more towels in main bathroom instead of grabbing from hall bathroom. Not a lot to complain about. Thanks.

Incorrect description of property
Over all it was ok but the description of the half bath is incorrect. Only 2 bathrooms. There is no half bath in the unit. To call someone with issues took a long time.

Kinda Bummed - Great Location
The rental management company that takes care of this place keeps it clean which was great.
That's about where I feel things fall apart...literally. Several things are in disrepair including the leaking sink trap (which we repaired...thankfully we're handy), the oven rack that goes to a completely different stove (that fell when we slid a tray on it), an undersized garbage bin (with only 2 extra bags), very low quality dishes and cookware (hardly enough to make a full meal with) and various other small issues which become bigger issues when there's so much wrong.
I am not one to complain, but I think if the owners invested just a small amount this place would be 5-stars. The location is outstanding, close to the marina and easy access to the highway. The views are gorgeous as well, overlooking the boats coming in and out of Hawks Cay. When we weren't out fishing, we spent most of our time on the beautiful screen porch.
Fix all the issues above and I'd come back...until then it's a hard pass for me. I'll look elsewhere on Duck Key next time.

A Great Stay in Duck Key
The home was a beautiful place to stay with three bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a beautiful sun room with a view of water and dock. If we go back to the Keys again, this is where we would stay.

Clean, good location but misleading
Overall we had a great stay in this property. It was spotless. We loved that the doors to the patio opened to give a large living/outdoor space. It is close enough to grocery stores that if you want to cook you grab what you needed. The kitchen is minimally stocked- just the bare basics. The listing also states 3 bathroom (in some areas 2.5 baths) but there are only 2 full baths and an extra sink. The property is also inside Hawk Cay resort but you have no access to the amenities of the resort like the pools, tennis courts or activities. There is a watersport company you can rent kayaks, paddle boards, etc from. I wish the listing had been more clearly stated.

Home was clean, nicely decorated, and well supplied. Loved the view of the dock and the wrap around porch. No issues - my family had a lovely stay. There was even dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent.

Spacious unit with a nice view
We had a great time at Duck Key. The unit was clean and spacious. Even though we could not use the amenities at Hawks Cay Resort we went boating and visited other places. Would like to visit again sometime.

The location of the condo was great and the size was hood for our family. The large screened in porch was a nice plus.
But the condo itself was dated, the carpet in the bedrooms was stained and gross, and most of the furniture was literally falling apart. The kitchen is fairly sparse so don’t plan on any real cooking. The rental company didn’t leave enough linens and when I contacted them, they said we’d have to provide more ourselves?? Seriously?!? A condo that sleeps 8 only gets 6 towels to share??
