Hidden Gem is a wonderful hideaway!
We went for a short family get-away from real life and found it at the Hidden Gem. The property is exceptionally well maintained and very comfortable. Sean is extremely responsive! There are so many restaurants in walking distance. The patio area is so relaxing, and it's a short walk to the boat dock area. The area is very quiet and cozy. We will definitely be back for another visit.

Amazing spot!
I’ve rented a lot of houses in the keys and this one is now one of my favorites. Will definitely stay again. Very clean with comfortable beds and furniture. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. Excellent patio area and grounds. Sean was fantastic to deal with! I would highly recommend Hidden Gem.

Complete package in a beautiful place.
We really liked the place,the apartment has all the utilities that are needed in a home from A to Z,everything is beautiful, quiet, comfortable, clean, with easy access from sea and land to the places we visit. Perfect mooring for boats and a good location,we enjoyed every moment of all its comforts. In short, the ideal place to spend a few days on vacation. Another very important thing is the proximity to the Islamorada sandbar(in my opinion the best in Florida).

Great Place with in walking distance of plenty of restaurants.
Place was nice and clean and had more room than I expected. Centrally located in Islamorada and across the street from Islamorada Brewery. Access to the bay was also nice - we sat out every night and enjoyed the view. Owner was very responsive to requests. I would definitely rent the property again. Only ding...a painter came in while we were there to paint the outside of the house. Not a problem, since we were enjoying the area, but if we were going to stay around and use the outdoor space, it would have been a bit inconvenient.

Family trip
Overall, great location and nice property. We stayed downstairs and could hear lots going on upstairs. The apartment could have been cleaner. All of the beds were very creaky. Master bath shower dingy. However, the kitchen was fine and living room was okay. Lighting could be better--as the lights above were a bit much even though there was a dimmer. We loved the chairs outside in front, as well as the dock area. Parking was very convenient. Sean was great.

Truly a Gem
This is a fantastic property! It is located a little off the beaten path but close to what you need and within walking distance of kayak rental, shops and the Islamorada Brewing Company. We stayed here 2 years ago (different owner) and when looking around for other places could not find anything as well located in a quite area. Sean and Lauren are fantastic and we can't wait to stay here again.
