Great place. Very clean.
6.0
The location and the property itself is very nice. However, the noise is unbearable. We heard thumping in till 3 AM in the morning, even ear plugs or even earplugs cannot drown it out. Additionally, if you’re looking for an early check-in or a late checkout, the owner was inflexible with either. Considering the amount of money you’re spending, we thought there would’ve been a little bit more wiggle room given the fact that there will be multiple people staying there and different schedules. The unit was clean and the beds were comfortable in bedroom one and two the smallest bedroom definitely needs new sheets. The current ones were very pilly and scratchy. Location was good.

The house was ideally located near everything you wanted to be. Even with its proximity to Duval Street, you never heard any late-night noise. The house was beautifully set up for every need. I highly recommend it, and will be staying again here next year!
4.0
We lived the location and the backyard oasis. It was nice being so close to shopping and restaurants. We were able to escape back to house any time needed during the day for the brief rain showers we had. Reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is due to TV issues. The living room tv had an alarm that went off each morning at 7am. We couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. Also, you only receive basic tv channels. With price of listing, host should increase available channels through xfinity. Everything else was great. Lost power one night but that’s out of the hosts control. Would love to stay here every time we visit key west in the future.

Great location, a block off Duval street. Private and secure. Very well appointed and comfortable, and the pool was fantastic. Perfect spot to enjoy Key West but also have a place to settle down and relax between excursions. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The property was well maintained and it was obvious the owners do not cut corners. Details in this property were well thought out. Beds were comfy.
Unfortunately there was no Wi-Fi which meant no TV or internet. We checked in on a Saturday and no one could fix it till Thursday. Bummer. There is a loud bar adjacent to the property that keeps their music/party going till morning hours so be aware. However, there are white noise machines that are available so it’s not a huge deal.
Our group enjoyed our stay and being in walking distance to things. Not too bad for the price and we would come back.

Although this house deserves it I’m not much for the long form reviews. You will want for nothing when staying here the owner has thought of everything you will need while staying at this beautiful and well maintained home. Great communication you are right in all of the duval street action while feeling as if you’re being n your own island. We will be back!

Great, clean house in a great location in Key West. We had a great stay at this property - it was clean, very well maintained, and in an amazing location for exploring Key West.
We appreciated the full set of appliances and kitchen tools ok good condition for use. Glasses, bar tools, knives, cutting boards, appliances, etc.
The pool area is a real treat. Great ambience and clean pool that was great for cooling off.
Stylistically the house was nicely designed with comfortable furniture and plenty of space. 2 of the 3 bedrooms are very nice sized with plenty of room to maneuver (the third is smaller but manageable). Easy transition from the kitchen to dining/family to outdoor.
AC works well (which is key for Key West), and fans are helpful for airflow.
Shops are walkable within a minute or two walk, easy for grabbing necessities or food.
We had 6 adults in our 40s - had a great time! Highly recommend this house.

The decor is adorable. Thank you for extending the extra day and allowing us to enjoy!
The pool area is very nice and the waterfall blocks any sounds so you feel like your in a secluded oasis. Thank you for great communication

We came to Key West to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday. It was 6 adults and the space was PERFECT. Location was phenomenal. Other's commented on noise and I didn't think it was an issue. And if you are a light sleeper, they have fans and sound machines ready for you in every bedroom. The pool was a necessity in the June heat and we spent countless hours in it. Would definitely come back.

Easy walk to the best attractions in Key West. Bar next door gets rowdy at night, but the beds are super comfortable, and the noise machines are a huge plus.

Great location. Great property. Minutes away from everything. Even though close to Duval St. property was quiet indoors. Excellent pool area.
5.0
This house is an oasis in downtown! Beautiful inside and the pool area is secluded and feels private. Yes, you can hear the music from Duval but only enough to remind you that you are in Key West and not isolated in the middle of nowhere. Quick to respond. Only suggestion would be a memory foam topper of some kind for the pull out in the den. Highly recommend staying here!!!! You will be in love.

This property was amazing! The home is perfect... every detail, the design style, the interior decorating, the artwork, the furniture and appliances, the sound system, the private pool, outdoor shower, the landscaping, every necessity provided, the private parking, and the best level of construction quality we have seen in the keys! I've been in construction for 20 years and I must say... stellar work! The painter especially was a wizard!
The homeowners have amazing taste and style. Thank you so much for the opportunity to experience a week in your awesome home!!

We will definitely book a stay at this house again! The location was perfect for our group of 7 making it easy to walk to our favorite restaurants, historical spots, shopping, and most important the beaches.
5.0
The pictures do not do this house justice. There was plenty of room for six of us. The house amenities are new and everything was decorated beautifully. We spent the majority of our time in the outside pool area which is secluded. We really loved this area and all want to do the same at our houses 😀. The location is superb. Only a block away from all the action. I will rent this house again. Really exceeded my expectations.
