Quiet, Comfortable Harbor Island Oasis

Comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-equipped villa at Hawks Cay resort. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the management company was excellent both before and during our stay. The setting was peaceful throughout our stay. We were here on a girls getaway and we'll be back!

Great stay in Duck key

This is a great spot if you’re coming to the keys. The location made it easy for day trips to visit other keys. The communication with the property manager was quick and easy. The location was clean and we enjoyed spending time on the outside patio watching the sunrise. The beds were comfy, the WiFi was fast and we loved being able to stream Netflix and Disney at night. It’s also walking distance to restaurants and the marina. Highly recommend this place for a great getaway!

Private Place

Neat and clean and comfortable with a private deck. The major problem was the spa didn't work, probably had not worked for a long time because where the on button was supposed to be was a hole in the deck. So it was just a pool of stagnant water.Also, since both bathrooms are upstairs not a condo for people with mobility issues.

Just what we needed

Absolutely perfect if you want peace and quiet without hustle and bustle. You can eat at the Angler and Ale, but other Hawks Cay restaurants require you to be a resort guest. Very good restaurants within 10-20 minutes. Dolphin Connection was amazing. The best place to go to see the complete sunset is Sunset Grille (about 20 minutes) which is a fun atmosphere with friendly staff.

Long Family Weekend Vaca

We came down from the east coast of Florida. We have stayed at the Hawks Cay resort before about 5 years ago in a similar town home and really loved the area. This property was beautiful, comfortable, great location close to Marathon and Islamorada. The residence was clean, very accomodating, and we had a great time here. Highly recommend it!,

We had an amazing time staying here with its central location to all the Keys and its peacefulness off the main islands. The little plunge pool in the back was a great supplement and extracurricular activity for the family.

Not quiet as described

The unit was clean and had everything we needed. The dip pool is anything but. The size of a a small hot tub without the bubbles and heat. Not really worth advertising. Additionally, there is a beautiful boardwalk out back but, you can’t get to it. It’s all boarded up and not accessible. We did really enjoy Duck Key as it’s centrally located in the Keys and the grounds are really nice and well maintained.

Long weekend in Duck Key

Very nice townhouse. We had five people for 3 nights and it worked out very well. Great patio and plunge pool. Very clean. Duck Key is a beautiful island, 2 restaurants at Hawks Cay and if you want the townhouse has all the essentials for cooking at home. Just beware the closest supermarket is in Marathon to the south or Islamist to the north both about 20 minutes drive. Would definitely come back.
