We had a great stay at Hidden Hammock. The communication with the host was great. The pool was one of the best parts of our stay. There were no pets while we were there but I can’t imagine the managers not following up with what is advertised.

First I would like to say Glenn & Hope were awesome to work with. After we arrived they called to make sure everything looked good and wanted to know if we wanted any suggestions of places to visit, where to park, all that good stuff. Great people!!The property itself is also awesome, very clean (which is a big thing for me), the grounds very clean and well kept, very nice pool area, and we were traveling with our dog so it was so nice to have a place that accepts pets. Thank you for that. Our dog is like a family member. We would definately stay here again should we ever visit the keys in the future. Hands down great hosts and a beautiful property. Thank you for the great stay.Lisa, Terry, & Meko

We were down for the 4th of July and wanted a place to stay that was comfortable, but close enough to family, Key West, and Marathon. Could not have asked for better. The cottage was clean and the property was quiet and full of nature. Definitely a place we will stay at again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay Glen and Hope! We loved the location it was convenient to travel to the Key West, yet far enough from the noise and party. Summerland Key itself is gorgeous! Few great spots for breakfast and lunch/dinner. Also every place around had fresh seafood and live music in the evening. Pool on the property was very clean and heated, which I loved since we got a few cooler days.Overall wonderful atmosphere. If we will be back to Key West next year, we will be back to stay at

Ww stayed for 6 nights as our first time in the Keys. The property is very well manicured with everything you'll need. We had a small issue with one cottage that was quickly rectified by the owners. Hope Nd Glenn were terrific! Not sure if we'll ever return to the Keys, but we highly recommend The Hidden Hammick to anyone visiting the area.

Honeymoon Ruined

From the pictures you would think it looked pretty great and the fact that it states that it is a 5min walk from the beach was a big seller for us. When we first arrived, I didn't see a beach near it, all I saw was mangroves. When we then talked to another couple staying there and they proceeded to tell us that when they first got there that they had actually went to the wrong unit but that there door code worked in the couple that was occupying that unit, so then we found out we had the same door code as well. That was kind of crazy to me that we could all enter each others units. Yes, my husband did try that theory later, and it was true. The next day I went to take a shower and the water started backing up in the shower, so kind of a concern, but if that was the worse thing, ok but my husband wasn't happy. The next day which was Monday, my husband came out the toilet had backed up and even using the plunger he couldn't get it unclogged. We called the host and then she had the owner call us and he asked us to use the plunger and he would see about someone coming over. They came and we had to wait to get all that done, then it got worse and pretty much in short ruined our honeymoon, and we had 3 miserable days, had to go find a bathroom at 5am to go to one morning because I had to use the bathroom. we were ready to leave. They did put us in another room, and then paid for a dinner but honestly we should receive 3days of what we paid back, this was our honeymoon ruined!!
