Annual Family Dive Trip
We booked this property the first week of lobster season. It was clean, spacious and located in a great area. The dockage was very convenient. The pool and downstairs area were a great place to congregate after a day of diving. Any concerns or questions were addressed immediately by the onsite staff. We had a super enjoyable stay and would highly recommend this.

Amazing!
We had the best time at Keys Cove #5 this week! It was a great location, private off the road, yet easily accessible for day trips to Key West, the local beaches, and north to Islamorada. House was new, clean, and a/c worked great (we needed after our hot days exploring!) It included everything we needed… beach towels and chairs, etc. We enjoyed the private pool and cornhole. Just a short walk to the community dock with kayaks and paddle boards was amazing, too. Susan, with rental company, was especially helpful as well. We will definitely be back!

Perfect multi-family stay
This property was perfect for our family gathering. We were able to stay together but each have our own space. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean, and the fridge was big enough for all of us to share. Talking to management was easy but not necessary since the house had no issues. Check in and check out were very easy. The porch was a great place to hang in the shade, everyone enjoyed the small but big enough pool, and we all had covered parking. The dock area was beautiful and I wish we could have taken advantage of it but with 105 weather, we weren’t able to. The house is close to everything. It only took minutes to get anywhere on Marathon we wanted to go. We will definitely recommend this property to anyone taking a big group to the Marathon area.

Charges didn’t add up. Got two different totals. When inquired about it to property manager he said because we went thru a third party, he didn’t have all the information. Will try to verify when we get home. Other than the confusing billing the place was nice other than our pool was in the shade most of the time.

The rental was very clean and conveniently located. Just an hour from Key West. Everything was as listed in rental description except no outdoor TV .The pool was clean, it did not recieve much sun due to the trees/scrubs surrounding it, was heated as advertised. The sand beach area was really nice and my husband enjoyed fishing from the dock.

We had a wonderful experience. The house was clean, exactly as pictured, a lot of linens. The house was not finished being cleaned until 5:30 and check in should have been 4. I would have been upset except we ran into traffic and arrived just as she was leaving. The owner came on property to check the pool and did not introduce himself before entering the pool area which we thought was unprofessional. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay!

Great break from winter in the Midwest!
Great responsiveness to questions etc. by Jessieca and her team! Had 4 adults and 3 kids there for a week. The private small pool (3.5' to 4.5' deep) right by the house worked out great as it was heated perfectly and in the shade (reduced need for always putting on sunscreen)! It worked fine for the kids ages 4 and 7 to paddle around in (with their parents) as we brought their own appropriately sized life jackets for them to wear. The bedroom with 2 twin beds had its own TV and the 7 yr. and 4 yr. olds thought they were a prince and princess! They could watch TV in their own room. Everyone had a great time! The house worked out great! Loved sitting on the covered porch too!

Central Keys location and close to two nice beaches
Very clean and well stocked kitchen. Management was excellent and very responsive. We didn’t have many issues but when we did they responded immediately and pleasantly. Outside amenities were great—heated pool, grill area and cornhole/sand area. We thoroughly enjoyed. Pleasantly surprised with abundance of towels/beach towels. Only thing we would have liked was extra blankets. Overall, excellent.

Decent location and house with pool
The heated pool was a must being there in January. Also because the pool doesn’t get any sun. To sunbath you’ll have to go to the shared beach area/dock. The kayaks are also shared and located at the dock. You have to request them from your property manager and there’s no guarantee that there will be enough for everyone to use them everyday. But who really wants to kayak everyday? Bahia Honda and sombrero beaches are both a short drive away and great outings. If you must run the dishwasher more than once daily, you’ll need more dishwasher tabs than the amount allotted. You’ll probably need more toilet paper and paper towels too. The pots and pans are useable but somewhat difficult; they are warped and small. The bare necessities are provided in the kitchen. No pitcher to make drinks for everyone. No outdoor place settings. There were extra bed pillows but no pillowcases. There was one extra blanket. There were plenty of bath linens and we only had to wash the beach towels twice. There’s nothing crazy wrong with it. Just the price of the Keys. Also, the houses are very close together so hopefully you don’t get stuck next to a party house.

Keys Cove #5 great
We just returned from our week stay at Keys Cove #5 and miss it already. The property was perfect for our needs. We liked the location of this specific unit, as it’s the closest non-waterview unit to the dock area and has a small view of the gulf from the deck. The unit itself had all the essentials for our family to cook meals. We were surprised to see how many place settings were available. We were a total of 7 and had plenty of plates & utensils that we didn’t have to wash them after each meal. In other places we’ve stayed, that’s not the case. One of the best features (for summer months) is the chilled pool!! It’s so refreshing when coming back from a day out on the boat!! Our family has already discussed staying here again and would definitely recommend.
