Tiny Villa, Big Ocean Views| Breathtaking Sunsets
Summary: Welcome to your happy place in paradise! Our oceanfront villa is located on Duck Key right outside of Marathon and next to the world famous Hawks Cay Resort. Halfway between Key Largo and Key West, it’s the perfect location to explore all our island paradise has to offer. Enjoy world class fishing, diving and snorkeling or kick back with a cold beverage and enjoy a stunning sunset on one of our covered porches. And always remember…it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!!
The Space: Right when you enter the villa, you are greeted by an abundance of day (or shall we say sun) light. Downstairs you find the fully equipped gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and everything you need to prepare a delicious home cooked meal (with all the world class dining options around you might not want to though). The open kitchen leads to the living room with rustic beach decor, ocean views, smart TV, games and covered porch to soak in that sun (-set). There is also a half bath and sleeper sofa for two downstairs. A short flight of stairs takes you to the master bedroom with queen bed, en-suite bathroom and a covered oceanfront porch. A second bedroom with a queen bed, en-suite bathroom and washer/dryer combo is located upstairs.
While our tiny villa can accommodate up to 6 people, we think the ideal group size is 4.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The location was perfect to explore the Keys top to tip! The home was exactly as described! Comfortable and perfectly appointed! We loved the beach vibe and the views out of the living room and master bedroom were spectacular! The water is stunning! Not only did we enjoy the inside, but the back porch views were spectacular. We also enjoyed all of the local residents…giant iguanas! We will definitely stay here again when we are in Duck Key!

This is an adorable home right on the water in Duck Key Florida. Roughly a 2.5 hour drive from the Miami International Airport. Marathon Florida was only a 10 minute drive from our house. It is a beautiful drive. From the day we booked the home until the day we had to leave, Adriana was an exceptional host! We had daily and prompt contact with her to make sure our stay was everything we hoped for it to be. If you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place to stay while enjoy all that Florida has to offer, I would highly recommend Staying here! You will not be disappointed!

We stayed a weekend in the keys and had a great time. We stayed in September of 2023 so the temperature and humidity were high but the A/C worked great. The location was fantastic as it is sort of middle of the keys so you are a 1.5 hour drive to key west or back to the mainland.
It was easy to check in and since it was an electronic lock...you didn't have to carry around any extra keys. It is walking distance to the few restaurants on the island. We really enjoyed the restaurant Angler and Ale.
For the rental itself, it had everything we needed and the best part was the patio/balcony that faces sunset!!!! So each evening we could watch from the patio/deck or the balcony off the back master bedroom.
There is also enough space outside between the deck and the shore to run around a bit.
Just a note about floorplan...there is a main level bathroom which has the living room kitchen area which is nice since both bedrooms are upstairs. Both bedrooms are master's as they have a full private bathrooms. Again, the balcony on the back bedroom is awesome.
I would definently stay again as we had a great time exploring the keys and being able to unwind here.

Our stay was absolutely unforgettable, thanks in no small part to the wonderful accommodations we enjoyed. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with a sense of comfort and luxury that surpassed our expectations.
The rental was impeccably furnished and meticulously maintained, providing us with everything we needed for a perfect getaway. The living area was ideal for relaxing after a day of exploration, and the fully-equipped kitchen made cooking meals a breeze. We especially loved the two decks, where we could enjoy our morning coffee and evening cocktails while taking in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Of course, the beauty of Duck Key extended far beyond the walls of our rental. The sunset views were spectacular, casting a golden hue over the tranquil waters each evening. And with the peaceful ambiance of the area, we found ourselves truly able to unwind and disconnect from the stresses of everyday life.
Sombrero Beach in nearby Marathon was another highlight of our trip. Just a short drive away, this pristine stretch of sand offered endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation. Whether we were swimming in the crystal-clear waters or simply lounging on the shore, we couldn't help but be amazed by the natural beauty all around us.
Overall, our stay in Duck Key was nothing short of magical. From the wonderful accommodations to the stunning sunsets and nearby attractions, every aspect of our experience exceeded our wildest dreams.
