As a result, Key West and many of the islands throughout the Florida Keys have free-range chickens and roosters. You will definitely see and hear chickens and roosters during your stay in Key West. Some visitors to Key West love them, and some visitors hate them - personally, I enjoy them best roasted, with plantains, and black beans and rice!

This place was great for our company's annual executive planning meeting. We had a nice space to meet each day while the significant others were able to hang out in the smaller houses and enjoy the pool. Quiet neighborhood but super close to a lot of restaurants and bars including Duval Street. Small bedrooms in the main house along with one full bathroom is the only down side, but overall would recommend.
Very good location. I don’t remember much conversation with prop mgr and your review wouldn’t let me leave it blank.

We took over all four houses. The property was spotless and nice mature landscaping. - large pool area perfect for gathering. Location is great. Steven was a very responsive host. Rooms tend to be small and closet space limited but not really a problem if know that going in - and it’s Key West. Didn’t need many clothes

About the host
Hosted by Steven Justi
I travel as often as possible, with my beautiful partner - we always seem to gravitate to water and interesting places off the beaten path. We enjoy historic settings, renovating old buildings, good people, and a nice bottle of wine (...or two).
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is alive, dynamic, and surrounded by Key West History - unquestionably the most intact Old Town Key West neighborhood on the island. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance, and Duval Street is only two blocks from the property - close enough, yet far enough away! Ft. Zachary Taylor, located only two blocks to the west of the property, is a National Historic Park and boasts the nicest beach with the best sunsets on the island.
What makes this property unique
Local Key West character is preserved. Authentic Key West experience. Perfect when accommodating large family reunions, weddings, corporate retreat, or just a large group of friends getting together. Four (4) individual, independent houses on a single Old Town Key West property; (11) full and queen beds and (4) sleeper sofas.
