This is a VERY nice property! We stayed with 3 adult couples with no children and it was perfect. I love having a pool, as it was quite hot while we were there, which was expected. Everything went smoothly, from check in to check out - and they weren’t there promptly at 10am giving us the stare like has happened with other places. We did depart by 10:15! It was nice to see a place where people have obviously left spices and other things that weren’t just thrown out. We used some and appreciated having them at our disposal. I REALLY appreciated that there was coffee creamer there I could use as I forgot to bring some. We loved the location too, as it is really close to our favorite Key West restaurant! I would definitely stay here again

Excellent location! Plenty of beach towels and suntan lotion. All the extras to cook with (including spices) included. Pool was a good size. Wish our bed was a little softer, but that's an individual preference. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Above and Beyond - True Hospitality

From our very first interaction, Theresa was truly exceptional. She went above and beyond, not only helping me coordinate parking for our large tour bus but even offering to personally escort us from the bus to the property. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous, embodying everything one envisions for Key West luxury. Without a doubt, this is a must-book experience.

Wow! The house and location exceeded my expectations! Absolutely charming house with everything you need! Lots of room to hang, gorgeous outdoor yard with pool, and walkable to EVERYTHING! Absolutely perfect house to stay in. Even though it was right off of Duval, it was quiet. I loved this place so much and would definitely come back! Don’t miss this property on your next trip to Key West! And it was so easy to get in and host was very quick to respond. Thank you for sharing this gem!
