About this property

3BR/3BA Sunset Cottage located at The Villages of Hawks Cay

In response to COVID-19, our cottage will be disinfected and sanitized professionally prior to all check-ins.

Professionally decorated, fully renovated Cottage with 3 Bedrooms & 3 Bathroom Cottage located in the Village at Hawks Cay on Sunset Drive. Spend your vacation taking in fabulous sunsets right off one of the two balconies. The interior has been completely renovated. New furniture, bedding, flooring, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, Samsung TVs and much more. You will absolutely love the accommodations our Cottage offers you and your guests. Our designer and contractor designed it with you in mind! Come relax with us in the fabulous Florida Keys.

The Kitchen is open to the dining room and living room which is open and airy with natural light filtering in from the windows and sliding glass doors. This opens up to your own screened in patio which overlooks the crystal clear waters of Duck Key and Tom's Harbor. Sit on the patio on either floor and take in the unforgettable sunsets. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need during your stay to dine in should you choose to.

The Living Room has a West Indies motif and is equipped with a sleeper sofa, two deep seating chairs and 52" Samsung TV, surround sound, Blu-Ray player and iPod docking station, free WiFi and over 100 HD channels for your enjoyment!

One of the main reasons The Florida Keys has become a vacation hot spot for east coasters is the weather. The weather is beautiful year round in Duck Key with average temps in the 70's throughout winter.

Two of the bedrooms are located upstairs and have their own private bathroom and TVs, and a third bedroom is located downstairs with its own TV. The Master Bedroom is equipped with a king bed with a new pillow top mattress. The Guest Room has 2 Queen beds, both with new pillow top mattresses, and the third guest room has a new Queen pillow top mattress.

Come see for yourself why The Florida Keys has been our family’s favorite vacation spot for the last 20 years. Whether swimming with dolphins, fishing, diving or enjoying a day at the spa, our Cottage at the Villages at Hawks Cay offers something for everyone.

We do not participate in the Hawks Cay Resort Rental program and therefore can offer discounted rates on our Cottage of up to 50% savings. Therefore, you will not have access to the resort or any of its amentities.

We hope to have the opportunity to host you as our guests. You will see the Florida Keys has so much to offer. It will be a memorable vacation for everyone! We are here to help and hope to hear from you soon.

Beautiful views and comfortable beds
The views are beautiful - especially the top floor and the beds were very comfortable. Good Variety of small kitchen tools/appliances. The house could use a refresh (dark and dated furniture) and there were some dusty areas of house (especially bathroom)

Gorgeous location!
This condo is so beautiful! It was the perfect space for our family plus grandparents - spacious and clean. We loved all the access to outdoor space. The kitchen was well-equipped and you could not beat the sunset. The Cabana Club was fun and the beach was great! We also loved Sombrero Beach. Owners were friendly and responsive as well. We are already talking about our next visit.

Read All Details of the Listing and Ask Questions before Confirming.
Three couples traveling together. Mattresses need updating. If the use of a pool is important, this is not the place to stay. Our major issue was with the 'Pool' listed in amenities. FYI it is an 8mi drive to this Pool! Not child friendly! Not adult friendly! Pool is size one would have in your backyard! Six adults were treated like 8 year old's who were in Detention in school! We were courteous and patient but property manager/drill Sargent Ellie would not let us speak. We tried to explain why we were there but she repeatedly interrupted us, not listening to our very simple question. Example - she yelled at us to look at her while she was talking! because one of our group turned to look at the pool area. I could go on.... We are not sure if Management requires her to guard this very small pool like it's Fort Knox or if she is just high on having authority, but there was no cause for the rudeness and insulting behavior. The 20 minutes left a very bad taste with all of us. Although condo is located in Hawks Kay property, we suggest Owner HIGHLIGHT there is NO access to ANY of the Hawks Kay facilities (including Pool, Spa, Beach and Restaurant) and forego the little pool 8 miles away completely. We were wrong to assume the drive to this little pool would be worthwhile as being comparable to Hawks Kay! Some of this information is provided after you confirm your reservation but doesn't tell the real story.

Thanksgiving Paradise
This place was so nice!!! Loved the sunsets and was well equipped with all the things you needed. Beds and pillows were so comfy! The Cabanna Club membership that comes with the Condo was great (it is 7 miles down the road, but who cares we were on vacation) We sunbathed, ate there and swam in the ocean. I would definitely recommend this place. Loved IT!!

A Week in Duck Key
The property was in excellent shape – clean, updated and well equipped. The location is great – just a short drive to beaches and restaurants. The two patios offered fabulous views of the water. Actually, the pictures do not do the property justice. We had two issues during our stay. First, the Keurig coffee maker would not turn on. Maintenance picked up the Keurig to get it cleaned, descaled, and whatever. It worked fine after it was returned. Great response! The other issue was that one of the TVs in the bedroom would not power on. The manager said: “It’s not something that I’ll be able to address during your stay”. So I paid to rent the place and didn’t get everything that was in the description. Not cool. No adjustment was offered. Not cool. If the TV wasn’t an issue, I would have easily given the property a 5/5. I know that things break, but management didn’t seem to think it was import to honor their commitment or make adjustments.

Short Vacation
We thought the pool was was going to be on site. The Cabana Club was 7 miles away. Very over crowded and no chairs available. Cottage was in a great location. Close to many restaurants and activities. We very much enjoyed our experience. I would definitely recommend this cottage to others. Owners were easy to contact.

About the host

Hosted by Jarod Carter

Host profile image
Our names are John and Brenda Carter. We have three sons who we are very proud of and 6 grandchildren. Our family is our biggest blessing in life. Our best memories as a family have been spent together diving and fishing the waters of the Florida Keys.

Over the last few years, we have started purchasing, renovating and renting our properties as vacation rentals. It is a business that we really enjoy and find it very fulfilling. We get to host families from all over the world in our paradise and hope to help them create memories with their families, as we have. We hope to have you as our guests soon!

Why they chose this property

As business owners in the South Florida area for over 35 years, we entertained guests in the Duck Key area and feel it is one of the most desirable locations in the Florida Keys.

Our property is conveniently located in the middle of the Keys, between Islamorada and Marathon Key, on Duck Key in the Village of Hawks Cay. It is very easy to go to Islamorada and spend the day shopping, sightseeing and having dinner and then head to Key West the next day. While it is in the heart of the Keys, you are still on an island which provides you with the privacy you expect when wanting to get away and take in the laid-back lifestyle the Florida Keys is known for.

No matter what your agenda for your next vacation, Duck Key and the surrounding area has something for everyone and that is the primary reason for our purchase.



What makes this property unique

Our property went through a full remodel after Hurricane Irma. All renovations were overseen by our designer and general contractor. We are proud of the way the property turned out. This is not a cookie cutter cottage. It is modern and unique with very high-end finishes.

We have the best cleaning staff around, who shares our high standards. The Cottage is equipped with everything you'll need to spend the weekend, the week or over a month with us comfortably.
