This was perfect for our annual girls’ trip. The house was clean, well equipped, comfortable. It had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed the screened in lanai and the deck around the soaking pool. The view was gorgeous. We’ve stayed in the Keys several times and this was by far the best rental yet. Would definitely stay again!
What a beautiful waterfront setting! The accommodations were exactly as described. The host responded to our questions quickly. Check in was easy. We enjoyed the gorgeous sunrises and evening campfires. Kayaking on the Bay was great.
My husband and I with our three college age children enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the house. The outdoor deck and views from sunrise to sunset with a perfect reset after a hectic year. The house has everything you needed and was in a great location to Key West and the Bahia honda State Park
Our stay was amazing !! A few things I wanted to point out, however: 1) The code to get into this house should be periodically changed - it has been the same the last two times I have been there and that is a potential safety concern. 2) There was excess water in the roof's gutter / it was leaking (just wanted to make you aware). 3) The house could definitely use some more cooking pots/pans etc. - kitchen had very limited items. 4) The air conditioner had major issues coming on/off etc. that should be addressed. Additionally, the two sets of neighbors had extremely large dogs that were very loud and at times off-leash which was a bit concerning.Other than that the house is gorgeous, comfortable, peaceful, and in a stunning location !!
Tropical Paradise is the perfect Florida Key getaway. Small house with amazing sunrises over the water and a pool spa that can be heated in the winter months.
This was the most amazing location. The sunrise was stunning. We kayaked, fished, swam and relaxed everyday. We saw Iguanas, racoon, shark, barracuda, lobster and many fish right from the backyard. The location was perfect. I was able to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner and all of our meals with ease. There was plenty of space between the houses and none of the neighbors were in the way. Will stay here again!
Second time here and everything was great! Location, views, kayaks, bikes just needed a little air. Nice biking and walking. Quiet but not far if you want key West action.
We appreciated all the extra towels for our stay as we were on the boat and in the water a couple times a day. Not really easy parking with a boat, Trailor and 3 vehicles. We were lucky no one was staying in the home adjacent that is managed by the same company. We were very happy with our stay otherwise.
Florida Salts Family!
Property & house were perfect for our family vacation!
6 adults + lab.
Clean, plenty of towels. Comfortable beds. A/C good.
Fenced pool area was perfect for our lab.
Dock great. Watch tides and bring boat in slowly from channel as not to tear up sea grass. Gets swallow in areas, but we had no problems.
Really everything you need. 💯😊
My husband and I enjoyed the view this home has. They had everything we needed...access to the water, kayaks, grill, pleanty of towels, coconuts (fall from the tree make for an extra treat our son had so much fun with). It was a nice retreat close enough to Key West. This place had great outdoor space, very relaxing and a fun place to be.
Great location. Beautiful views. Pool was very nice and is a perfect size for 4 adults. Boat dock worked out great for a 24’ bay boat. Bay was deep enough to putt out slowly and return on plane. They have directions for a small non-official Channel but I never figured out where it was. I took the boat straight into the bay about 1/2 mile then followed the land out to the sugar loaf marker 16. Worked great.
I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone this is one of the nicest places i have ever stayed!!!! The managment was so nice!!! Will definitely stay again in the future
We just wrapped up a weeklong stay at Tropical Paradise. It was truly ideal. The house was so cute and neat as a pin. It was right on the water and the pool was warm and perfect for the kids. It’s a great location with easy access to key west and also a nice quiet retreat. We had such a nice time and plan to come back next year.
Location was wonderful and overall accommodations good. The pool and deck were great as well as the pier and concrete patio outdoors. The iguanas were fun to watch and it was nice to have the kayaks for a little adventure. It was great to have water and ice in the refrigerator! The mattress in the small bedroom needs to be replaced as it sinks in the middle. We found it hard to rinse our hair with the low pressure of the shower, but overall our stay was wonderful! It was a nice little hidden treasure.
Beautiful and clean, We had no problem with AC or bugs as previous reviews mentioned and dock was also there and in great condition, also no seaweed or smell as others mentioned. We have stayed at other places where this was an issue but I think it's just the way the ocean is and the way the wind is blowing at that time. Everything you could need is there and beds very comfortable. I think they have fixed any previous issues. Absolutely no negatives. It was relaxing, loved the kayaks, even saw a turtle. Lots of fish around dock. Quiet but only 25 minutes to key west
We will be back!
Great little place but needs a new A/C and pest control
Great location, quiet street. Only a few other rentals visible, to the left, & directly behind the house. The house sits directly on the water, as pictured. The breeze that comes off the ocean is great, especially when sitting on the deck & enjoying the pool. The "beach" to the left is more of an access point to go to & from with the kayaks. I would not recommend sitting there as it is covered in seaweed & an obscene amount of bugs. The use of the two Kayaks was great. The house was super clean. I would recommend a longer hose to reach the pool, as the pool was super low with the water level and we had no way to add more water. 2 negatives, the a/c does not work well at all. We stayed here at the end of July/early August, it was very hot, and the a/c during the day would only cool to 80/81. It would only stay at the setting of 72 late at night once we were sleeping. The mgmt co had two separate a/c people come out back to back, but it didn't do anything. One co. told us they needed a new unit or to add xtra insulation. After I told the mgmt co that the a/c was still not working, they never replied back to me. We had to go to Home Depot to buy box fans & even with the fans running, it was 80/81. No one wants to be in a hot house on their vacation. We felt that the mgmt co could have purchased a portable a/c for less that $400 to help keep us cooler & future guests. The other issue, a bad infestation of ants everywhere...in the house, pool deck, all over sand & sidewalks
Easy access to property and good size house for the three of us. The layout of the house is nice, and the porch arrangements of screened and not screened are great for enjoying the outdoors. The long dock pictured is gone- that photo should be updated. Kitchen was good- decently appointed. Pans probably need replacing. The pool was good but was far smaller than pictures hint at. More of a swim spa size. We enjoyed the sitting area down in front facing the ocean. There is a “private” beach area between two docks- private is not accurate- it’s shared with the house behind this unit which is far bigger. The beach area is not maintained and was not a place to go wade, so ocean access was pretty limited. The property manager was very responsive when we reported a concern and it was addressed quickly. The middle bedroom with the smallest bed is actually the master with the en suite. The beds and pillows at the house are in desperate need of replacement. For anyone reading- make sure you check this before booking! It’s was difficult sleeping. Cudjoe Key is not commercial, so the nearest full grocery store is at Big Pine Key. But we loved the middle placement of this rental on Cudjoe- half hour from Key West and about 40 minutes to Marathon. We would book again… just as long as there’s new beds!

Location is prime
Located in a awesome spot. House needs updating for sure bathrooms are dated pool deck needs to be replaced
Seaweed is not controlled by anyone just left to dry out and keeps building up on beach with sea foam must have been bad timing mid June 2023
The house and view were incredible. The pool & dock for our boat made this an amazing time! It is very well stocked in the kitchen as well as towels and linens! Would definitely recommend this for your keys getaway! Can’t wait to go back
We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful vacation. The house was clean and had everything we needed. I appreciate this home having ample towels, specifically beach towels, as we have stayed in homes before that literally had none. I was concerned about the bedroom situation because a previous review said that two of the rooms were connected, so we were happy to arrive and learn that there are three distinctly separate rooms. If you bring your boat, it is an easy ride out to the reef for scuba diving/snorkeling. Having the pool at the house was awesome and the perfect way to end a day on the boat.
We did have a couple of “issues” that I feel are necessary to mention. The main bedroom’s mattress is in desperate need of replacement. There are massive divots on either side of the bed that made it impossible for me to sleep in, particularly as a stomach sleeper. The center of the bed is significantly higher than the sides you sleep on.
The other issue is that there is not 24/7 service in case of emergency with this home. Our kids accidentally locked our key in the house and couldn’t get ahold of anyone to help. It was 10:00 at night when we got back to the house and realized this. We ended up having to call a locksmith to let us back in the house, which cost $200. We got a response from the rental company almost 12 hours later. I am fully aware that it was our own fault, but the fact that you can’t get ahold of anyone is rather bothersome.
Aside from those issues, the house was great and the views are unmatched.
