Shore Was Amazing!
From the moment we entered the home everyone of our 19 loved this home. It had everything we needed and then some. Have never stayed in a home that was so well stocked with everything you need. Will definitely come back again! And Cottages on The Key was top notched! Any minor issues or questions we had were addressed within an hour. Best Mgt Co. I've dealt with in the 4 years we've been coming to Lido.You won't be disappointed with them. Awesome experience

Fantastic 80th Birthday
This house was absolutely PERFECT to celebrate our mother’s 80 th Birthday. She’s a very active 80 year old so the stairs were not an issue! We all loved having our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The location to the beach was perfect!! And we loved how clean the property was. It did not disappoint! Thank you!

Shore is Something is Something Else!!
The Cottages on the Key "Shore is Something!!" This property lived up to the name!! Great kitchen for cooking and amazing views from the rooftop balcony. The house was spotless, and the pool area was perfect for the family to enjoy when we weren't at the beach (only a few blocks from the beach).
I also can't say enough about the property management company. They were attentive, professional, and beyond hospitable. When we come back to Lido Key or anywhere in this area, we will be looking for a home managed by The Cottages on the Key. Thank you for a great experience!! All of the families loved it!!

Shore is Unbelievable
This place is amazing. It has everything you need from Beach towels to beach chairs. The heated pool and jacuzzi was our families go to.
There is a very nice outdoor space for grilling with a tv for sports fans or children. The weather was a little cool and the pool doesn’t get much sun when we were there in early January but that made the heated pool that much better.
