My stay at Sunset Key Cottages was absolutely lovely. The amazing sunset views and cozy atmosphere made for a perfect getaway, while the attentive staff went above and beyond to make our experience special. However, the lack of curtains on one glass entrance in our cottage made sleeping a bit tricky for me. Overall, it’s a paradise I can’t wait to revisit.
