We have plenty of space for your boat and trailer. There is a boat ramp just down the block at Tonio's that can handle flat boats 21' or smaller and the boat ramps at Cudjoe Gardens Marina (477 Drost Ave.) and Little Torch Key (SR 4A & County Road) can handle larger boats for a minimal fee.

We’re located twenty-five miles from Key West for dinner and nightlife. Walk 2 minutes down the block to Tonio's Seafood Shack & Tiki Bar. Bahia Honda State Park, with its beautiful beaches is a 15 minute drive from HIDDEN HAMMOCK RESORT. Our property is not on a waterfront and there are no public beaches in Summerland Key.

Guests are provided with the following amenities: a small bottle of dish soap, hand soap and a sponge, a roll of paper towels and toilet paper, a few laundry pods and hotel-size toiletries in the bathroom. This is to help our guests off to a good start. There are grocery and convenience stores in the areas for guests to purchase anything else that they may need.

Cottage small, suitable for 2 people. The cottage was not very clean upon checkin. Kitchen was very small, able to cook but difficult to clean dishes. Cottage was not supplied very well with basics like paper towel, dish soap.

Beautiful Property in Great Location

Ww stayed for 6 nights as our first time in the Keys. The property is very well manicured with everything you'll need. We had a small issue with one cottage that was quickly rectified by the owners. Hope Nd Glenn were terrific! Not sure if we'll ever return to the Keys, but we highly recommend The Hidden Hammick to anyone visiting the area.

Summerland Fun

Property exceeded my expectations, property was spotlessly clean, pool was gorgeous and refreshing, BBQ area was a great way to wind down the day and visit. Will definitely come and stay again, and will recommend to everyone. Close enough to Key West to enjoy the day and be back in time for a swim and BBQ, with a variety of beaches close by to sit back and watch the sea and enjoy the day. Plenty of options if you want to fish, with or without a charter.

Relaxing stay in the Keys

The property has been recently updated. The property is not near a beach which the ad said it was within a 5 minute walk. The beaches are both 20 miles in either direction. The bed was very uncomfortable and there were no smoke detectors in the unit, but otherwise the property was wonderful for a relaxing vacation.
