Everything was great and right in the middle of the action. The property is actually 3 separate units but worked great for our group. Small hiccup with the codes not working but was fixed shortly after. AC and water pressure worked great. Would recommend!

June trip with the guys

We stayed with 12 of our buddies for a bachelor party. The amenities are nice, enjoyed the pool and spa and the outdoor showers are great. It’s in a convenient location for walking everywhere on Duval. The room layout was nice so most the guys had their privacy and the upstairs balcony with hammock under the large shady tree was awesome. The parking is pretty small and tight but that’s to be expected in Key West. We would stay there again.

Thank you for your great review! We’re so happy to hear that the property worked well for your bachelor party—sounds like you and the guys had a blast! 😊 The pool, spa, and outdoor showers are definitely fan favorites, and it’s awesome that the location made it easy to walk around Duval. The upstairs balcony with the hammock is always a hit for relaxing after a fun day! We totally understand the tight parking—it’s definitely a Key West thing—but we’re glad it didn’t affect your stay too much. We’d love to host you again for your next trip!

Good location

As a VRBO owner myself, I feel it is important to honestly communicate what your property is and is not so potential renters can determine if your property is right for them. Before booking this property please be aware that there is only parking for a very small car. The closest public parking is $50 a day. We were not aware and not informed even though we told them what type of cars we were bringing this when we booked. The house itself was clean and linens were provided. The kitchen was well stocked with needed cooking utensils. The TV only is able to pick up one channel, AMC, and the HDMI connector is not working. So you will be able to cast or connect a personal device to use your own apps. We arrived to find molded towels and wash cloths in the washing machine along with a layer of dirt. The property manager was always quick to respond and removed all but one of the dirty wash clothes. However, the dirt from the washer would not wash out even with running a cycle of hot water. Thus, it was not useable. This property is in a great location. It is within walking distance of many of the Key West highlights and wonderful restaurants.

Pricy without the punch

The location is perfect. That's about it. The property needs upgrades, cleaning and repairs - not as pictured. The Royal Palm was ok. Shower door leaks on the floor, which might be the reason I had a cockroach in my bathroom. Outdoor patio furniture needs replacing. Hot tub was cloudy and musty. Grounds were not kept. Garbage had not been taken out from prior renter and stunk the whole stay. The A/C in the main house smelled like mold. The back splash to the counter isn't even attached to the wall. Both clothes dryers don't work and one is all rigged up which looks like a fire hazard. Each bathroom had 1.5 rolls of toilet paper. We had to purchase more. There were no garbage bags for us to change. The whole place just needs a thorough cleaning, updating and repair. All the showers leaked. There are holes in the wall. It is NOT what it looks like in the pictures. We were told there was a door to separate the ouch area inside, and there was not. We were locked out 20 minutes before our checkout time, and our luggage was still inside. For $4xxx.00 PER NIGHT - my expectations were much, much higher. I would never rent from this company again.

My group booked the entire property. Great location. Let me say the inside of all areas was immaculate. Very impersonal communication. We asked for early check-in days prior to arrival and also on check-in day and were told they would contact us if the house was ready ahead of 4:00 Even though the property was vacant prior to 4:00 (we were at restaurant across street) we were not notified, it felt like lip service or AI. Locks are on a timer and were workable at 4:02. Make sure you add the mark after the numbers. Walking into the driveway area it was incredible to find many of the driveway bricks were loose. Huge tripping hazard. No lights at night to the bungalow. The stair railings to the 2nd floor were filthy. The side of the house was filthy. The upstairs deck was filthy. Dirt ground into paint on all the surfaces. The boards to the upper deck were rotting. There was an area you could see down through to the cars below. If you stepped there wrong your foot would go right through the deck. A tree was dropping mushy fruit all over so that doesn’t help but it’s no excuse to a lot of the outside conditions. The bunk room upstairs was nice but the pullout sofa is unsleepable-if that’s a word. There was a spring loose and laying on the mattress. It felt like you were laying on the springs. We had to double up people in real beds to accommodate them. We didn’t even touch the 1st fl pullout. That room had no separation from the other bedroom - so there was no privacy.

Great for large groups looking for a good time!

The property was just a block or two away from bars and restaurants on Duval St., perfect for our bachelor party group of 10. The compound itself has certainly seen alot of use, but was clean and perfect for a group looking to spend most of their time at the bars and restaurants of Key West. My only major concern was how late check-in was (4:00pm) and how early check-out was (10:00am). For the rental price of this property, I would have expected more flexibility from the property manager to get more time out of the rental.
