Old Florida Style, Dockage, Swimming Pool (shared), just 20 miles from Key West
Cottage #15 - Quaint, clean, comfortable cottage just 20 miles from Key West. Bring the family. Located on a compound with 2 swimming pools. Spacious cottage offers a full kitchen, screened patio, two queen bedrooms. The pool, dock and seawall are all available to our guests. A coin laundry is also available on site. Whether you come to the Florida Keys to escape the winters, or enjoy the calm waters and great fishing and diving of the summers, you will find Cudjoe Oceanside Cottage to be your Home Away From Home.
The property is old and needs a lot of maintenance. The AC cannot be lowered below 75F and would struggle if the temps were any higher than those when we stayed, which ranged between 75 and 78F. The appliances are old and the dishwasher did not work when we were there. The bedrooms are OK but the beds are quite soft so watch out if you have back problems. The front and side entrance stairs to the house are through stairs, which are separating from the porch at the front and kitchen door at the side of the house. We had a small child and she tripped a few times. The rear porch roof had missing parts exposing the porch completely and the porch enclosures (walls and screens) at both the front and.rear were in poor shape ( decaying, falling apart). The front porch entrance door did not close properly and if you are leaving the house, it bangs all day long in the wind ( I know because the adjacent unitâs porch door did it when they were out and we were at hone one day). The entrance to the property is really awkward if you are coming from the east. If you want to be safe, you should go about half a mile or so west to find a spot you can safely u-turn and approach the entrance from the west. All this criticism aside, we found what we were looking for, peace and quiet that is close to Bahia Honda State Park, at a reasonable price. If you cannot overlook all the issues mentioned above regarding the house, this is not the place for you.
Plenty of room for 2 couples. Dark skies and quiet area great for star gazing. Close to Key West but not in the chaos. Unit 15 needs some repairs. Be careful with the outside banister and gap between the unit and entry steps. Had a great time. Good vale for the cost.
It needs work. 3 windows on the front porch, molding missing and very dirty. Back porch has animal feces on railing. Not enough towels. Cleaning supplies not there, There was 2 tiny bottles of palmolive dish soap. Horrible stuff would not take grease off frying pan. No winded, need dawn detergent. no dishwashrt

Not what I expected
The unit we reserved was not what we expected. There was rotting wood falling from the back porch, the front steps had a large gap between them and the porch. Both of these seemed minor but once inside we found rust inside the microwave. We only stayed one of our 7 nights. The owner responded to our messages and had the rotten wood removed but refused any type of refund when we left. This could be a nice place but all of the property needs a good deal of updating and maintenance work
Die Anlage und die RĂ€umlichkeiten sind sehr schön - auf altmodische Weise symphatisch.Allerdings ist das Haus etwas renovierungsbedĂŒrftig,so ist das Holz an dem Dach der Veranda hinten morsch.Die Einrichtung der KĂŒche war,was die GerĂ€te betrifft,gut ausgestattet.Allerdings fehlte es an Geschirr,so gab es weder tiefe Teller noch Schalen und kein Brett zum Schneiden.Das mĂŒsste mal kontrolliert werden.Aber wir hatten,alles in allem,einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt
This is a very affordable property for the lower Keys. It took me about 40 minutes to drive to Key West because of the strict speed limits. The property is old and is not updated. There was a note on the AC that said not to lower the temperature below 76, which I wish I would have known in advance. I read the reviews, and a recent guest complained about a leak from the ceiling. I asked about this in advance, and was told it was a clog in the AC line that was fixed. However, there was a leak from the ceiling that dripped regularly during my stay that required an bowl and towel on the floor, as the first time I walked through it I slipped (not knowing it was there). All this being said, I was just looking for a place that I could work at during the day and drive into Key West at night. The wifi was fine. The TV worked. There were basic dishes, plates, silverware available. Just know what you're getting, as its one of the least expensive places for a reason.
Great property. Met all my needs and was clean, safe, easy to find. Enjoyed my time there. The property is equidistant from Key West and Bahia Honda State Park, both of which are great places to visit and explore.

Air conditioning issue
This property is in a good location however, the house has an air conditioning problem in which the air conditioning was leaking all week while we were there. We had a bowl on the floor to catch the water dripping from the ceiling. So much dripping that it filled a bowl every 12 hours and the landlord was not able to get it fixed. We were told by the home owner to leave the air on 79!!! Very disappointed
I came to visit my son and watch his concert at Key West high school. We did a lot of fun things but the cabin was a perfect place to come in and relax. I watched the sun rise every morning at the dock and the kids enjoyed the pool in the evening. I plan to visit the cottage again next year
It was satisfactory visit. Room on porch had holes in it. A c leaked in hallway. Mattresses were the worst. Need to replace them. They sunk in the middle. Great location. No one bothered us. Just needs t l c. Oh and not enough towels for 4 people for three nights
Property was clean, equipped with everything you need quiet and comfortable. Short drive to Key West. Plenty to do in a short distance. Perfect location.
This property is super cute. Convenient for being close to Key West without the price of Key West. We VERY much enjoyed our 3 night stay. Our property (#15) had a little grill outside so we were able to cookout one night of our stay. Make sure you stop at Publix or Winn Dixie before getting there it is a litle trek to get to grocery store. I would also suggest bringing a few extra bath towels, our cottage only had 3 and 4 adults. Most things you would need, pots, pans, silverware, cups, coffee pot. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for having a great priced place that we could enjoy the keys without spending a fortune.
I didnât feel like I could relax here. There is a window in the bathroom with no curtain with a building that can look right in, the bathroom floor was not clean, found a dead cockroach in the dining area when we arrived, and the beds were uncomfortable.
