Great VRBO with a gracious host!
What a great location! The apartment is close to the heart of Key West and the majority of attractions on the island, so we were able to walk everywhere during our stay. We had a variety of restaurants, grocers, and shops to choose from, and when we were exhausted, it didn't take long to walk back. While the apartment is small, it's perfect for those wishing to not be surrounded by hoards of tourists. Calm, comfortable, and secluded. The back patio was a nice area to enjoy without distractions or excessive noise. Just a note: the bathroom is a tight squeeze, so if you need room to shave or style hair, it can be difficult if one is not flexible. The owner was easily reachable by text or call, and was very responsive if an issue arose. Overall, the VRBO was comfortable to stay at and suited all of our needs for our week-long stay. 😊

Perfect for a key west getaway
Loved the location! We parked our car outside and didn't use it at all until we left. Duval Street, the beach, and cafes are all in walking distance and the neighborhood is so cute. You can also walk to a golf cart/scooter rental shop to get around the island. We also loved the privacy of the unit. Would absolutely stay here again, such great value!

Pretty much what we expected, everything you need. Things are very expensive on the island so, could you find fancier, nicer places to stay.....yes, if you want to spend even more money than you are already going to spend. You can find nicer places to stay for 500 dollars a night and top of the line places will cost you a grand (go ahead and look them up) For what we expected,5 stars.

Pay attention to extra fees
Our unit was what we expected though the add on extra pricing seems a bit high. I thought I had a great nightly rate and then the extra fees were quite a surprise!

Perfect Ket West apartment
My husband and I stayed here and it was perfect! It is on a quiet street in a residential area but only a short walk to Duval St and all the tourist locations. This was our first trip to Key West and we were on a budget. The apartment is fairly small, but bigger than an average hotel room and more than met our needs. When you walk in, there is a small but fully functional kitchen to your right with a nice array of plates/utensils/pots. To the left is a small dining area. Straight ahead is a combined living room/bedroom. The bed is tucked into a little alcove between walls so you have to crawl into it from the foot of the bed but we found it to be very comfortable. There is a futon and small TV but we did not use this much. The bathroom/shower is small but fine (might be a squeeze if you are of larger size but I’d equate it with an RV type bathroom). The WiFi is good. The outdoor area is not very scenic but still nice to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee. The surroundings and other units of the house were quiet through our stay. We only took an Uber once the first night (about $10 to Duval) but when we saw how close we were we walked everywhere the rest of our trip. Our walk to Southernmost point one morning took us maybe about a half hour. Good communication with host before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Good, quick response to a needed repair.
The owner reported the need for a repair of overhead light/fan the day before our arrival and said that it would have to wait until after we left three days later. I responded that we were not at all happy about this and would appreciate it if she could have the work done before our 4 pm check-in time. We were quite pleased to see that she did indeed have the work done before our arrival. Excellent communications and follow-through in my view! Inside the unit we saw other small things needing repairs. The refrigerator handle fell off because the screws were loose and a floor lamp had a broken plug. Intending to fix these myself, I went to a hardware store and purchased some screws and a plug, but I never got around to it as I got sick and had to be hospitalized on our last day. Overall, we felt that the rental was a good, quality value and was described by the owner correctly.

nice neighborhood, quiet, grocery store close. Nice bike ride to Duva Street plenty of bike racks.
Nice place to stay. But if you do not like to walk or ride a bike it would not be good for you. Taxi both ways would cost a lot everyday. We rented bikes and road up to Duval and road to FT. Zackery State park and all over the island so it worked out nice for us.
