Duck Key & Hawks Cay Real Estate Search
Duck Key sits on the ocean side of the Overseas Highway at about Mile Marker 61, between Conch Key and Grassy Key, a short drive from Marathon. It is a quiet, boating-focused community of canal homes, waterfront estates and resort condos and townhomes at Hawks Cay.
Five Islands, Four Bridges
Duck Key isn't one island, it's five. Development began in the early 1950s, when canals were dredged to divide the key into Indies, Centre, Harbour, Plantation and Yacht Club islands, linked by small bridges built in 1955. The original resort, the Indies Inn, is today Hawks Cay Resort. The result is a neighborhood where a large share of the homes sit on the water, with dockage behind the house.

Homes or Hawks Cay?
Single-family homes on the residential islands are mostly canal or open-water properties with docks, from older ground-level homes to new construction.
Condos and townhomes at Hawks Cay come with resort living and are a popular second home. Daily rentals are allowed, and owners have three ways to rent:
- On-site resort rental management, which includes use of the resort's facilities
- Self-manage your own rentals
- Hire a vacation rental manager of your choice
With the last two options, neither owners nor their guests can use the resort's facilities. Association fees and what's included vary by community, so we get those answers in writing before you make an offer.
