Simple, no frills place but you’re here to do things not to sit in the house. Everything you need and a great location to do base your Lower Keys adventures from.

Places very nice except for it.Need, some work done couldn't hardly open sliding door. Beds were a little hard did not sleep in them

The rental is a small, old beach bungalow from several decades back. It has been added to and modified over the years, keeping it fun and funky. This unit has 3 window a/c units - one in each bedroom and one in the livingroom. The a/cs worked great, but as someone from a cooler climate, I'm not sure how well they deal with hotter summer days and nights. Nearly all of the appliances are new or nearly new. As noted, it is one of two buildings on the property and the closest to the water. I say the water, because, like much of the keys, there isn't a sand beach, just dirt and rock, then water. For my wife and me, the location was perfect. We prefer to stay in one place and venture out from "home." Little Torch is about 40 minutes from Key West. We drove to KW a couple of times, including to catch the boat to Dry Tortugas National Park - a trip I highly recommend (buy your tickets early; they sell out). The host, Susan is great and very responsive. I'm not sure I'll make it back to the keys, but if I do, I'd happily stay here again.

Perfect location between the Key. Cool little spot just right for a small family. Host responsive.

Listing is accurate. Relatively clean atmosphere. All appliances work great, and the AC wall units were a savior. Beds were clean, and so was the bathroom. It was really nice to have the basic kitchen equipment (pots, pans, forks, knives, spoons, cooking utensils). You need a place to sleep and relax after a day in the sun this is the place for you, and not breaking the bank at all! About a 40 min drive to Key West which in all honesty isn’t that bad since there’s lots to see to and from. It was sad to find out DoorDash couldn’t go to the home, but there were a few grocery stores within a 10-15 min drive.

The cottage (#2), had all we needed. Jennifer was responsive and available. Walking distance there is a great local restaurant and bar

Loved that it was direct oceanfront and not too far from Key West. It was everything it said if was going to be. Thank you!

This was a great home base to see this beautiful place. The kayaks and life jackets were not available when we went, but otherwise the cottage was equipped as advertised. Would recommend staying here to friends.

Great location on the water. Small place but very comfortable. The only caveat is the bath is en-suite to one of the rooms, so you have to walk through a bedroom to use the bath. Landlord responded immediately to our only problem, adding to the comfort in your stay.

Perfect for what myself and three friends needed. Close to everything we wanted to do and see.

Just returned from a wonderful week in Sunrise Cottage #2. Everything was exactly as described and pictured in the listing. It was perfect for us: close to everything we wanted to see and do, but tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, with water access in the backyard and a restaurant in walking distance. The sunrises are spectacular from the couch or outside. We used the kayak, swam and floated in the calm, clear water. Yes, there are rocks - bring water shoes. Cottage is cute and nicely decorated (count the craft eyes on the wall art - adorable!). Plenty of seating inside and outside, lots of storage space. Kitchen is well equipped. Grill worked fine. We ate one or two meals at the cottage daily. Kiki’s Sandbar is an easy walk down the road and has live music in the evenings. The location is perfect for everything lower keys. Easy drives to Key West and Marathon Key. Enjoyed the beaches at Bahia Honda State Park - walk to the top of the bridge for fabulous views. Snorkeled for first time at nearby Horseshoe Beach with a snorkel set bought at local Winn Dixie. Saw lots of fish and loved it! The owner was quick to respond to the one question we had about turning on the shower. (Pull the knob out - pull hard.) No other issues. Great little cottage and highly recommend.

What a perfect little getaway for us! The accommodations were just right for what we were looking for. Great location, close to the Key West area, yet near Marathon too! Very beachy atmosphere, wonderful breezes, quiet, lovely!

The sunrise pictures were great. The tub dripped the whole time. Easy fix ifgot the plumber to do it. The kitchen sink faucet was loose. When it rained major mud puddles. Minor problems to fix. The location was excellent. It was clean and we enjoyed it. But like I said some things need fixing.

The view was amazing and being right on the water was great! However, cleaning crew was still onsite 2 hours after check in time. The chemicals used to clean we're overpowering and made us feel sick. The pictures online don't tell the truth of the place. While it was cozy and efficient for sleeping, the kitchen and bathroom left a lot to be desired. There are barely any dishes and we weren't able to cook much at all. We couldn't get the shower on and once we did, it was so old I felt we would break it every time we used it. All in all we enjoyed our stay because of the location, but feel the cost was not reflected in the home.

We loved our stay here in the Keys. This place had all we needed and beds very comfortable. The Tiki bar down the road was our favorite place to eat and ride our bikes up for an afternoon Margarita. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

This location is dated and not as modern as others in the area, but for the price, it did not disappoint. The price was probably 40%+ less than other smaller properties with less room, but way worth it. I know I got a great deal. I was by myself, so it was larger than what I needed but I sure wasn't going to say no to this deal. Fully functional everything, except I couldn't figure out how to turn on the overhead kitchen light/fan, maybe that was just me. The only thing I wish it had was a simple outdoor dining table, even a picnic table would have been cool to sit outside and enjoy the view while having a meal. A dedicated small BBQ as well as there are 2 units on the property with one BBQ between the two. Other than that, a great experience with the manager, very quick to answer questions when asked. Great stay, thank you!

A little like camp but you can’t beat the price, central to everything but still private. Cute beach bar down the road. Awesome host!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. We stayed at cottage 2. Everything was exactly as shown.

The cottage is clean and conveniently located. Air conditioner in master bedroom was very loud but it did keep the room cool. A little disappointed that there was only 1 kayak available as we would have enjoyed exploring the shoreline. We would come again.

great view good location

Perfect vacation! Could kayak or snorkel right from back yard!! And house was a lot bigger than we thought. Little pics of paradise, would definitely do it again!

The cottage was in a great location and super clean with everything u need from kitchen pots and pans, utensil, dishes, towels etc but the only critique I would give is that the property manager needs to clean out the back yard mangloves bushes as they are blocking the water view and the water access. Other than that, i really really enjoyed it.

Property needs work. Window A/C units are very loud. Kitchen gets very hot during day. I brought my own industrial fan because of a review I read about property that said it was hot and yes it was. Ceiling in main bedroom looks like its going to fall on you. Otherwise comfortable and perfect location. Restaurant in walking distance,Bahia Honda only couple miles away. Grocery store and pharmacy near by. * While I was there painter came, so it may be in process of some work. Alot of work is needed for property.

So the camp (and let's stress that word not house or cottage) was cute but very rough. The exterior wood siding and stairs were rotted. The master bedroom was separating from the house (the floor sagged as you walked into the room and the ceiling was bowed in in two places). While basically clean, the rot on the outside made the back steps fairly unsafe. We were there in late March to Early April and they daytime highs were in the mid 80's. The kitchen of the unit was unbearably hot and the rest of the unit was just barely tolerable. They just have 3 small window ac units, and those hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. I took the filters off and cleaned those, the metal cooling unit fins, and the fan vent as best I could, but there was visible black mold inside the unit and you could definitely smell it. We had no choice but to run the units and even with all 3 going, you were just able to keep it comfortable. It is unlikely to to be someplace you can comfortably stay from May to October. Also, we didn't know this going in, but the range and the dyer and a wall heater were all propane, but we didn't see a carbon monoxide detector nor did we see a flammable gas leak detector. Those are all required by law in rentals with propane/gas appliances where we are from, and just a good idea in general. We didn't have issues, thankfully, but it was a bit unnerving all things considered. I would add that the owners do appear to be working on both this camp and the smaller one right behind it - they share the lot and are only about 50 feet apart with shared outside picnic area. So maybe in another year or so some of the issues will be addressed.

Great location, restaurants are close by, the place is perfect for a small family or small group out to fish (in my case) or enjoy the lower keys. Quiet, peaceful and a beautiful night sky. Close enough to Key West or Marathon to accommodate any tourist stuff, but also off the path enough to feel a true keys experience. Will diffidently keep this place on mind for future fishing or quiet get aways.

Absolutely beautiful view of bay and sunrise. Cottage needs fixing up. Curb appeal is lacking. Property is in need of a major overhaul.

Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. Beautiful view. Amazing weather in February with sunny and breezy days and starry nights in the 70’s. But accommodations in the Keys are overpriced.

The house was fine but there is no central air conditioning, only window units which did not cool off the entire house. We closed off the kitchen area to keep the living area cool. I do not recommend this location if you are hot natured or not use to Florida weather.

The little cottage looked rough from the outside but was actually quite cute and spacious inside. Property also a bit rough (due to Ian) but nice patio area to sit and look out at the water. We were disappointed that we never put our kayaks in there - very rocky and shallow- but we went other places for that. Quiet community with nothing but local Tiki bar which was pleasant for music, beer and dinner.

Great property with great people running it!

Property needs some repairs but nothing effected the use of the cottages. We were clean, dry and safe. Adequately stocked with necessities. Parking could be frustrating if you didn't rent both units. We had a great time, well worth the money for the area.

The place is quaint and was clean when we arrived. However, the toilet didn’t work when we got there, the gas grill did not work, the gas stove oven didn’t work and the dryer didnt heat up. The scariest part was when the oven would not turn off. This is a very dangerous and possibly deadly situation. This was unacceptable. We brought and bought food to cook at the rental that we could not cook. We had to spend extra money to go out and eat. We also had to take our wet clothes to a laundry mat to dry. We understand you are in the process of redoing the outside but the broken down tables and chairs are a hazard laying around. The table outside has rusted feet that if someone cuts themselves on they could get an infection and who knows what could happen. You need to supply more trash bags, toilet paper, towels and wash rags. For the kitchen you need more bowls and oven cooking ware. An umbrella outside for shade is a must with the intense Florida sun. There were so many no see I’m bugs outside we could not enjoy it! The house was not up to what you advertised. We had our friends from Michigan rent the other house so we could enjoy each others company but they had to leave early because of the mold situation in their place. We chose the place for our honeymoon because of the beach house atmosphere and privacy. We made the best of our stay but are completely disappointed with all the things not working and having to spend extra money to eat out. Even though we called on the toilet and oven - no one ever came to fix it. At this point I would suggest you stop renting the place until you have it in proper working order. Julie and Carlton
