Great location, short walk to tiki bar and bus stop. Heated pool was a great asset during cooler days.

We had a great stay at Hidden Hammock. The unit was great and was exactly what we needed. Location was great: peaceful and secluded with a short drive into Key West.
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
This is an awesome location. Quiet yet within 20 minutes of Key West, beaches, marinas, tiki restaurants/bars. Hope was a great host and had great suggestions on things to do and places to eat. Very pet friendly also.
Good location to visit multiple keys. VERY handy beach chairs, beach umbrella and cooler for those flying in! Thanks, Hope for including those! Close to good restaurants.
This place was a gem.
Clean, well kept and charming.
The owner was very sweet and helpful.

We would highly recommend this rental. The host,Hope was so nice and recommended many highlights of the area to visit and restaurants.The owners, Glenn and Trina were also so friendly and accommodating to us.
Very clean unit. Equipped with everything we needed.
Heated pool was a nice added bonus.
We loved this beautiful place! It was fun yet serene- the bed was so comfortable and we enjoyed time on the swings and hammock. Can’t wait to visit again!
Cottage was just perfect for us! Everything was clean! Convenient to Key West for excursions. Hosts recommended several restaurants and Tonio’s absolutely hit the mark!!
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
I truly enjoyed staying. It’s quiet and exactly what I was looking for. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle. This is the place and the owners are fantastic
Quiet convenient location (30 minutes to Marathon or Key West.
Hope was hospitable and had some great “local” ideas.
Absolutely loved the view and sunset at “Sunset Pier” in Key West.
Sombrero Beach was nice.
Good location. Restaurants, stores and walk access points close by. Also has hose right next to where you park so you can wash your boat off. Inside is nice and clean. The only problem is the ants running the floor in kitchen.
Property exceeded my expectations, property was spotlessly clean, pool was gorgeous and refreshing, BBQ area was a great way to wind down the day and visit.
Will definitely come and stay again, and will recommend to everyone.
Close enough to Key West to enjoy the day and be back in time for a swim and BBQ, with a variety of beaches close by to sit back and watch the sea and enjoy the day.
Plenty of options if you want to fish, with or without a charter.

The cotage was wonderful. It was even better than expected. The staff were fantastic. Great attitude. Always available. Restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely stay there again.
It is clean quiet and better than the listing. We had an issue with the door lock. It was us not the door, and Hope was there to help us in 5 min. Excellent stay thank you.
The property has been recently updated. The property is not near a beach which the ad said it was within a 5 minute walk. The beaches are both 20 miles in either direction. The bed was very uncomfortable and there were no smoke detectors in the unit, but otherwise the property was wonderful for a relaxing vacation.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The location is great for traveling around the Lower Keys. The setting is peaceful with iguanas and a variety of birds enjoying the property. It was nice to have access to a pool, as well.
Pros: location; quick communication from the host; good WiFi and Direct TV; comfortable bed
Cons: basics such as shampoo, shower gel, coffee filters, coffee, salt, pepper, etc. were not provided; there is limited counter space in the unit; whenever I reached out to the host for assistance, I felt like an imposition rather than a guest

We loved having the pool so close. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. I wish there had been a box spring for the bed. The slats were not comfortable. Hope was very responsive when we had a plumbing issue. It was fixed immediately. There was a mildewy smell in the unit that stayed on our clothes and in our suitcase. Overall, we enjoyed our time there.

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!!
Our stay was wonderful! The host, property, and location were great. We were close to restaurants and stores. We definitely recommend Starfish Cottage.
