Beautiful location. We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. It was clean and we thought the towel swans were a nice touch. The only issue that we had was Alexa kept making a random wind chime sound.

Key Lime Cottage was a perfect escape for us. A comfortable place to relax and a perfect launching pad for other adventures in the Keys.The dip pool (a hot tub sized pool that is not heated but was a comfortable temperature) was an unexpected highlight of our stay..a convenient place to enjoy some time in the water relaxing or doing gentle exercises on our own private patio.
