Stayed for six days and enjoyed immensely. Very nice setting and beautiful pool. Plenty of bath towels and pool towels. Kitchen had all utensils, cookware, and paper towels necessary. Washer and dryer available on site. Back patio was wonderful for lounging and hotel and bar/music over the fence were not a problem--had live music in the afternoon and very quiet in the evening. Airport Uber was $20. Walking to area attractions was not a problem except for heat/humidity mid-day. Golf cart, scooter, bike rentals a couple of blocks away.

This was a very nice property in a good location and I parked onsite. The unit was clean with useful appointments such as a stove with oven and a full size refrigerator. The pool looked very nice and there was seating around the pool and all the deck or patios at the units. The only poor comment I have is that the gutters need to be cleaned out because at the doors was where the water spilled over from rain. Also, I have a physical issue and the the old fashion tub/shower was useless to me. There was no non slip mat for the shower and nothing to hold on to but I do have a physical issue. so there fore I did not use the shower. Plenty of towels though.

We thought the cottage was super cute and loved how big the bedroom was. However, the backyard needs major attention, i.e., weeding, fence falling down, no landscaping whatsoever. The music coming from the back area was soooo loud! Luckily we could not hear it inside though . Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Coffee maker and toaster were old and not that good.

While we had to cut our visit short - This was a great cozy cottage with Key West vibes for our honeymoon. Felt very secure with private, gated courtyard. Complex seemed to be about half occupied - so was very quiet. Was pleasantly surprised at the comfy bed, plush towels, well stocked kitchen including basic seasoning/pantry items. Only item we were wanting upon arrival - would have been some Key West guides/maps; but that may just be showing our age and wanting old school paper. Hoping the resort, management and all the citizens of Key West are safe this week...given Ian's recent rumble through their area.

Reviewer Comments:
This cottage was a very nice quiet spot close to Duval. Restaurants, grocery,bakeries all within close walking distance, as well as Hemingway House and other attractions. With bicycles you could truly get anywhere. There was parking on-site. The unit air conditioners were very noisy but kept the place very cool,even in 100 degree heat. Pool was immaculately maintained. Unless you wanted to stay directly on Duval, this was a great place. Rental staff was very helpful when needed. We never watched TV, but I assume they worked. Who watches TV while in zkey West? Lusting pictures make the place look larger than it is, but i expected that. I would stay here again.

Very much enjoyed, we will be back !
This cottage was perfect for us ( husband and I), plenty of room, simple amenities ( but it needs a full length mirror) clean, quaint , a nice little courtyard with a pool that was just the right size for an afternoon cool off or evening dip. No issues with noise levels, the roosters crowing was delightful and always made me laugh. It was actually nice to hear the band at the resort behind us , we jokingly said we were going to send paper airplanes over the lattice to request songs, lol! We loved all the vegetation & greenery around us, we were even surprised by a mango that fell from the tree while we were sitting on the back deck one morning, it was delicious by the way!
This was our first time visiting Key West and now that we know the lay of the land we wouldn’t rent a car next time ( although we did enjoy driving from and back to Miami in a convertible!) as parking is very limited and there’s enough golf carts , scooters & bikes to rent, not to mention that this cottage is perfectly located to walk to just about everything. We highly recommend taking Lloyds Bike Tour , The Southernmost Food Tour, The Argo Navis Sunset Sail & Marathon Mermaid Snorkeling excursions!
And we found the Fort Zach State Park was a very nice beach and picnic area.
We look forward to coming back and bringing our family.

This rental was wonderful! It was a great size for two, very bright, and clean. We had everything we needed and the location was great. We added a couple of days to our stay since we were so happy with it. The bonus on this cottage was the private deck in the back. We will rent this cottage again.

This was a great property and the location was excellent. We were able to walk to everything we needed, and Duval street was just a couple blocks away. The outdoor spaces were awesome and the pool was a fun way to relax.

4 days is plenty in Key West. Property location was great. Parking is not good. Very clean rental except the patio grounds needs cleaning and spruced up. Should offer shorter stays. I would stay there again. Pool was very nice.

We Loved that this cottage was among a small cluster (I think 10) renters, making it very friendly. It offered everything we needed, location, outdoor space, pool. The patio on our particular cottage could really be a tropical paradise if some plants were added around the edge, but we were really glad to have that and used it every day

This quaint little place is perfect for walking access to the main attractions in Key West. It was a little dated, but mostly clean. As other reviewers mentioned, the hotel behind this unit plays very loud musics during their brunch time. It was kinda annoying, but if you plan on being out all day, it’s inconsequential. The community pool was perfect, a little sunny, a little shady and never too crowded. I’d definitely Italy recommend this place!

The space was very clean and comfortable, but a bit loud.
The space was very clean, well stocked, close to everything, and comfortable! The pool water was fabulous. The bed was very comfortable, I’m picky, and it was luxurious. On street parking was easy to find, and for a couple of days we even had a spot in the little parking lot.
The only thing I wish I’d known was this unit backs up to another guest house bar and pool right across the fence from the back patio which was loud in the busy hours. At 11AM on Sunday extremely loud DJ music started lasting several hours and reverberated through the unit. On the other side of unit, out of the bedroom window was some kind of very loud outdoor TV watching every evening. We rented off of Duval hoping for a more quiet place. The place was great otherwise, and our shared pool was super chill, but I just wish I’d known I was going to basically be next door to a bar.
Check out was at 10 which is quite early in comparison to most places and the cleaning crew entered our space without knocking at 9:50 which I found super annoying.
But we were able to leave our bags at the office down the street after check out and spend the day on the beach. The person in the Key West rental office was FANTASTIC! Very welcoming and assured us our bags were safe.

Great location, very walkable. Small amount of parking available, which is essential in Key West. The only thing that we did not have was any bath soap/shampoo, so be sure to bring your own. Other than that, everything was top notch and the management company is extremely responsive and helpful.

This property is tucked away from the street, surrounded by lovely tropical plants and trees.The inner courtyard has a lovely swimming pool of azure blue tiles also surrounded by beautiful tropical plants. Zen like exterior that leads into the spacious, colorful and comfortable interior space.
Large spacious living room with vaulted ceiling, a kitchen with all the practical amenities, and a spacious bedroom with an amazingly comfortable king size bed. Having stayed in many VRBOs over the past 15 years, this one exceeded expectations immediately. Aesthetically, the soothing colors used for walls & furnishings as well as the artful touches of photographs of iconic places around Key West were a perfect complement to the sense of having everything you need on a practical level. The outdoor patio provided a haven for coffee in the morning and a cool drink in the evening before venturing out to dinner. The apartment is very conveniently located yet away from the frenzy of Duval St. We were able to walk or ride our bikes everywhere we needed/wanted to go. Highly recommend this oasis in Key West. We will definitely return! Thank you to the owners and management for a superb experience.

Cozy and just perfect for the solo traveller or the couple looking for a getaway. What I love is the fact that this rental is located directly in the center of the Key, so everything is just a five-minute bike ride away!

A last minute change in accommodations brought us to this cottage. The unit is quaint...probably only suitable for couples as it’s 1BR. Others would have to sleep on the pull-out. The unit was very clean and everything appeared in working order. We used the nice semi-private patio for breakfasts and relaxing. Pretty much everything you’d want is within walking distance. We met the owners who were very pleasant and always eager to provide us with restaurant recommendations, etc.... What started out as a stressful vacation (due to having change accommodations) ended up being very enjoyable.
