Girls trip
The location was amazing, beautiful views. Ocean front with pool right outside the door. The condo was nice, dated. Many vertical blinds missing from the living room and master bedroom. Location is great in the middle of the Keys, not far to the grocery and places to eat. The only major issue is with the condo was the A/C. At first the condo would only get to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Contacted Mary and she suggested tips. Didn't help. Talked to her on multiple occasions. She finally sent someone out on Wednesday and they got it fixed on Thursday. Wednesday night was miserable 83 degrees all night. Check out time is.very early 9am. Only 2 towels per bedroom, not enough with no washer and dryer in condo. No bath mats, 4 wash rags, only 2 beach towels for 6 people in a 3 bedroom condo. Overall a great trip.

6 women from Ohio and Arizona and we had a great time. The only difficulties we had was the skillets were not great and made it unpleasant to cook as we did breakfast every other day. And even though the hand book earns you about no see ums you can’t really prepare for them. I’m covered in bites and will have scars from them.

basic Keys condo on weedy beach
Bird of Paradise was clean and comfortable, but pretty basic in its amenities. The wifi was extremely weak, and really only worked on the pool-facing balcony. We found this made it difficult to do even basic web-based activities, like searching for information on local attractions, and impossible to do things like stream movies. The unit is oceanfront, however, the beach and water in this area have a lot of seagrass, which smells quite strongly, and we saw no one using the beach or in the water. It's part of the natural ecology, and present on all the beaches in the area, but it does significantly compromise the enjoyability. There is a very nice pool in the complex, however, and we spent many afternoons there. The kitchen is well equipped, with plenty of dishes, and enough cookware to make dinner and other meals. Bath towels and hand soap were provided, but extras, like shampoo/conditioner and beach towels are not. There was also an odd lack of towel hooks or other places to hang wet towels, swimsuits, etc. There are laundry machines on site, but they are coin operated, and we did not use them.

The best location
We loved this place. The property was in a perfect location. Well stocked. The pool was so nice. Right on the beach. Mary gave us a small cooler to use and it was perfect for what we needed. Honestly I can’t say enough nice things about this property and Mary!!!

A family from SC.
A fire alarm kept going off all night the first night there. Urine on the toilets. Several new appliances so I guess the contractors didn't clean up after themselves. The beach was covered in seaweed plus it stunk to high heavens. Not planning on going back. Also the door to the unit was open when we got there but the keys were not in the unit (condo). My wife is a hospice nurse and could not believe how the bad there cleaning service is. I am a frugal CPA and this was the most we ever paid for a vacation unit and was disappointed. Our daugther had just graduateded from PA school and we wanted this vacation to be special but were disappointed.

Talk about location!!
We had a fantastic time staying here...it's one of two condos with the most perfect location. We made use of both balconies all week. The ocean view was ideal and we were literally 10 steps to the ocean. We fished right on the beach everyday. The condo is big and roomy though it could do with some updating in the master bath. Mary was the absolute best and after check in confusion on my part she replied immediately and solved everything!! It's a quiet and peaceful place to call home for a week with so many fantastic restaurants and sights within minutes of the condo. Everyone was so friendly and we definitely look forward to returning!
