Escape to this waterfront, two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath Duck Key villa boasting breathtaking sunset views from your patio and balcony! This two-story end unit features nautical-inspired design elements paired with lots of natural light and privacy. Pick up a local fishing kit or bring your own, then spend leisurely afternoons fishing from the shoreline, right outside your door! You’ll also enjoy the provided kayak and paddleboard (life jackets are included as well). You can easily access nearby fishing charters, boat rentals, diving, Dolphin Connection, and excellent restaurants on the 568-acre island.

Sprawl out in the living room and enjoy a movie on the 50-inch TV. An additional armchair offers a relaxing seat with waterfront views. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances shine in the well-equipped kitchen. Sip morning coffee at the breakfast bar and share meals at a dining table. This condo includes two bedrooms for your enjoyment. Upstairs, the main bedroom is equipped with a 26-inch TV and a closet. Wake up and breathe in the fresh ocean air from your second-story balcony overlooking the aquamarine water. A 26-inch TV and a closet are found in the second bedroom. Both bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The half-bath is located on the main floor.

Sliding glass doors open to the patio, complete with a bistro table, chairs, and a ceiling fan for warm evenings. The main bedroom includes a second-story balcony overlooking the clear water. Take in spectacular sunset views from the comfort of your own home and watch as the Florida sun dips below the water and the clear blue skies turn blazing red. Extra perks include free WiFi and a washer/dryer.

Explore the awe-inspiring Seven Mile Bridge, go fishing or kayak around Curry Hammock State Park, and check out the Dolphin Research Center where you can learn about the marine ecosystem and swim with dolphins. At sunset, head over to the Marina to pick up the catch of the day from fishermen and dine on home-cooked fresh fish. You can even make reservations at Angler and Ale for local seafood, and enjoy casual fare at the nearby Island Fish Company.

Quaint little getaway!
This place was pretty nice. It was on the water, we didn't catch many fish but saw quite a few. It lacked in cleanliness a bit but we had a good time. I'd stay here again maybe try another unit on that drive as well. The stairs were a bit steep to the 2nd floor. It was decorated nicely as well.

Quack Duck Key Escape
Area is beautiful. Water out front was perfect. We saw dolphins. Sea turtles right there. House was great. Having kayaks and SUP was also nice. House itself was basic in terms of decorations But who wants to stay inside at Duck Key? Vacasa staff was great. Helped fix a door. Found our iPods after we left and sent them back to our home address. Overall a positive stay. If Owners tried a little more in the Interior decorating ot would be five star. But we had a great time.

Doesn't look like the pictures
We looked the look for this property but where quite disappointed. The bathroom ceiling had paint flaking of it. The hall way upstairs had a large brown mark on the ceiling from a leak. The house is a bit old and tired. We couldn't get in our parking spaces as other cars parked there. The location is fabulous and the sunset view was amazing.

Overall nice clean place to stay. Bed and pillow were great. Washer and dryer unit was not working, they did call to tell us that as we were checking in, though. Fortunately, we had packed enough clothes and they were nice enough to reimburse us for not having the unit during the entire stay. Location is good for people who are in the middle of the keys and are exploring either north or south.

Very nice stay
The house offered us no surprises upon arrival and during our stay. It was clean and airy. The air conditioning worked well. We did not use the microwave or oven. We did store a few things in the refrigerator and it worked perfectly along with the freezer. The grounds were nicely kept! All in all...my wife and I found the house comfortable and inviting.

Disliked: Check-in
Great views, OK accommodations.
The views are great, nice porch and lawn area. Inside was clean enough, furnishings are pretty dated. We were unable to enter the unit at check in. The digital lock was broken and it took several hours to get in. We enjoyed the kayak and paddle board.

A Cozy New Years Eve in Duck Key
This was our first time staying at this property and our first time staying in Duck Key. The property was as advertised. Very clean. We very much enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the sunset. It is the PRIME sunset spot in the community. Loved the neighborhood walkability and the close restaurant the evening we returned too late to go elsewhere. We were able to view fireworks on New Years Eve from several places on the property. Only drawback to mention is the second bedroom is somewhat small. We had an adult couple sleeping there and it was a bit tight. All in all a great stay! Thank you!

Beautiful Property
It was a great place to stay. However, the electronic lock shut us out on the second day. All of our paperwork was inside the condo, so we had no access. It took some doing, but VACASA mgmt got us back in. My suggestion is always keep a copy of VACASA documents in your car! :-)

Comfortable, nice
The house was nice and comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay. The location is great- about midway between Key West and Key Largo, and we did day trips to both for snorkeling and exploring. The water outside the house was the most beautiful teal color, and I saw a green heron and lots of jellyfish while paddleboarding. The emails I received leading up to the trip made me very worried about the check in process, stating I’d need paperwork (I didn’t receive) to show a security guard. I spoke to someone on check in day and she assured me I wouldn’t have to go through a security guard and would be all set just with the code that was sent via text, and this was true. Getting into the house was simple. I appreciate that parking is included.
