Perfect little oasis spot

Very cute spot we had pretty much to ourselves. Had 2 rooms which were connected so we could all be together. Host stopped by and opened the pool table house for us to use which was really nice. Definitely a cute spot where we would stay again.

Really nice spot

Really cool little "resort". Room was clean, nicely laid out, and it was nice to have a pool and laundry facilities. Location was great for me to dive in Key West or Middle Keys. Only complaint was TV not working correctly 2 out of 5 days and I have to watch morning news/weather and in the evening wind down. Could just be Direct TV issue? Regardless I would recommend the stay.

Cottage off the beaten path

We stayed in the sea shell cottage, perfect for two. The unit was clean and the grounds were beautiful. There is a grill and a flattop griddle you can use. We went out for most meals so we didn’t use them. Close to a ton a restaurants, good recommendations in the book Had a great time! Will be back

Hidden respite

We were visiting to celebrate our 30th anniversary and Hidden Hammock was the perfect place for us. Hope had lots of great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Our favorite was floating in the pool both afternoons and under the stars in the evenings.

Cute cottage

Very cute little cottage! The pool area and grounds are lovely, The cottage is quite small but that is all we needed for our week long stay. Very convenient to Key West, only a 25 min drive. The reason for 4 stars was addressed with host but overall would return here.

Hidden Hammock

Hidden Hammock was a gem for sure. Quiet, clean, located near lots of restaurants, stores, and things to do, Manager Hope was very kind and helpful giving us tips where to go, where to eat etc. Property sits on Summerland Key and close to everything North or South of us. I would recommend this place highly. Cheryl Zelsman

Excellent Hosts

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was made especially pleasant by the wonderful attentiveness of our hosts, Trina and Hope. The property is clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for exploring either the lower or middle Keys. The grounds are quiet and well-manicured and the amenities even include everything you need for a day out at the beach (chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.). We would happily spend another week at this Summerland Key retreat. (In fact, as I write this at my desk back at work in Los Angeles, I wish I were there now!)

Great time in the keys

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the room we rented was perfect for us it definitely has an old school vibe. The pool was nice on the hot summer days but they were going through a bit of a crab invasion while we were there. But that was no big deal for us. Hope was super nice and have a bunch of suggestions for things to do and places to eat while down there. Ask in all we had a great time and will try to return in the future.

If you don’t need a water view this compound is perfect for what I needed. Very well maintained grounds with brick pavers on all driveways and courtyards. I stayed in a one bedroom with kitchenette with ample areas for my small boat. I will be back.

Warm Vibes

We had a difficult time getting to our cottage due to flight delays, but our hosts were great! They felt so bad about our delay. They were attentive, caring and thoughtful. Even though it wasn’t their problem that we arrived two days late, they were mindful of our frustration and were very helpful. Even though we missed two days, we still enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous!

I can't say enough about our 5 day stay here. It's quiet, clean, situated next to a reserve so abundant wildlife. Hop on Hwy 1 to Key West (25 miles away) or else plenty to do on the other keys, beaches, restaurants, snorkeling, boating etc. Our host was perfect, instant communication & she answered all our questions. Thank you Hope!

Has potential

Pros: The property as a whole is nice as well as the surrounding neighborhood. Situated between Marathon and Key West allows you to experience everything The Keys have to offer with ease. I actually stayed in Unit 1 and it was comfortable. Cons: They are doing renovations so there is some mess about. My unit didn’t have internet for my week long stay and communication with the host was not as expected (however, I requested a partial refund and did receive it). There were other communication difficulties as well. I really would like to be able to rate this place higher because it has potential and has had other good reviews. I hope my stay was a one-off and that future guests have a better experience.
