Lovely stay

The home was in a great location and space for my family of 5. It was clean and in a great neighborhood. The bedding/pillows were poor. The ceiling fan in the master was very noisy and needs to be replaced. Having a hair dryer would have been great amenity.

Nice Place in Nice Location

Nice, well-maintained property on Duck Key. Quiet neighborhood near Marathon in the Middle Keys. About 1.5 hours to Key West. Kayaks are provided, though one is leaky. Place is as described in listing. We stayed for a week and had a very good time.

We really enjoyed staying on Duck Key. The townhouse was very comfortable and clean. It has a beautiful view of the water with amazing sunsets. Although we didn’t use them, kayaks are available with this unit.

Spring Getaway

We stayed at this townhouse for our family vacation to the Florida keys. The location of the property is perfectly placed between two of the popular keys. Durring our stay we loved the cover decks for coffe and drinks and the kayaks were a great bonus. We padded through duck key but beware of tides before you go. The home was clean and as advertised making our stay amazing. If we visit the florida keys again, we will be staying at this townhouse.

Perfect

This is the perfect little getaway spot! It is right on the water and provides a small access for kayaks. The owners thought of everything!!! The house comes with kayaks, lifejackets, and paddles to use, which we used often! It is well stocked with all the cooking implements you could want! And they really went the extra step and provided three different coffee makers, (a Mr. coffee pot, a Keurig, and an nespresso )! I thought that was a great extra! Also has an upper deck and a lower deck with a waterview. I would highly recommend!

Very nice little place..

This little place was very nice. The place was spotless clean. It has a great porch area for morning coffee overlooking the bay and marina which is beautiful. Everything was as expected and then some. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for cooking etc. The community is a peaceful and safe feeling area. The grounds around the community are very well kept and nice. The iguanas roaming the back yard and waterfront were very cool too LOL! It is centrally located on the keys so exploring is easy both ways. I would definitely recommend C est la vie to anyone.

Vacasa management a joke

Things look good on surface, but underneath was a disappointment. Much like the management team. Carpet felt dirty but was vacuumed. Dirty knife and pan found upon cooking. Broken pull out sofa bed that it couldn’t support any weight on one end. During the next two days of contacting management, they never reached out to us to follow up, to try to get it fixed or to at least be given a discount for the problem, we were offered many apologies on the surface but nothing was ever done and no discount or refund ever given. All talk. Will never use a property known to be managed by Vacasa again..

“C’est La Vie” est tres bien

This very clean and well equipped condo is situated on the water at Duck Key. Access to the water is fairly easy over a rocky area and the owners make the effort worthwhile by providing five kayaks for your use. The water views from the two covered porches – – one upstairs and one down – – are just beautiful. Lots of added touches to make your stay easy and enjoyable. From extra dishwasher and washing machine soap, paper towels, and trash bags to labeled light switches and porch fan switches, we had everything we needed. You can easily find pretty much whatever you want to do between Duck Key and Marathon Key. This is a great place to stay. We did have a rough moment as the door lock code did not work when we returned from the grocery store shortly after check-in. Customer service promised a quick response, but no one called back. We found an unlocked lockbox that had a key to the front door, so we used it. The next day I called customer service back, told them about the key, and they said just use the key for the rest of the stay. I’m glad we found that key—a disaster averted!

Worst case. Do NOT book !!! We arrived around 8pm, beds were not made. Still old bedding from previous guests. Carpet smelling very bad. Not clean at all. It took us until midnight on the phone (several hours) for Expedia, VRBO and Vacasa not reacting any more other than saying that no one will come make the bed. We tried to wash it ourselves however dryer did not dry. So we had to sleep in the car. Bed was also not made the next day. So same story again. When plugging in our charger a small fire started and fire alarm went off. Until now we have not heard back from anyone regarding a refund. DO NOT BOOK
