This is the perfect location, a really nice property and great hosts managing it all. I would 100% book here again and recommend. I walked everywhere, including with my scuba gear to two different dive shops, easy short Uber ride from and back to the airport. The only thing I can say is — all good.

Location is great. Maintenance man, David Judge was outstanding, friendly and helpful! Building is on a very busy street corner so noise IS a problem. Bring ear plugs and eye covers as cheap blinds are useless! 2 blocks from Duval Street, so close to everything.
Clean, comfortable and quiet but still an easy walk to Duvall St. and attractions.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you found the property clean and conveniently located. We appreciate your understanding regarding the neighbors and are delighted your overall experience earned a 10/10. We would love to host you again!
I have stayed in 3 or 4 different places in Key West and this is my favorite. The hosts were very helpful when we had questions and responded to messages immediately with clear and helpful communication. The location is top tier -- it is only a block or two from the bars, restaurants, and dive boat. 10/10

It's great to know that the location, communication, and the overall experience met your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for another 10/10 stay!
Close to every thing, I wish I had a parking space on property and the code for the lock is to long of a number to memorize when day drinking.

Hi James,
2 rooms don't have parking space at our property which is disclosed upon booking. We email and text codes to our guests to make sure they have convenient access to their rooms. Please note that key cards can be lost easily. We have done our best to make the check-in process seamless. We hope to host you again! Sara, Brightwild
Exactly where we wanted to be but too close to the road, very noisy. Property Mgmt had to be contacted to provide more than 2 fresh towels for a one week stay and the Wifi was never connected.

Thank you for your feedback, Kristen. We apologize for but we do not have daily housekeeping - our rooms are stocked with 4 bath towels per bathroom but we are happy to provide more if needed! We will be opening up a laundry facility art this property in the near future as well for guests to use. We hope you enjoyed your stay despite the noise and laundry issues.

We wanted to be close to the port and Duvall street. This room does both. One block off Duvall and about 3 blocks from the port. The on line listing does not mention there is no place to park on premises. You are stuck paying $45 per day to park your vehicle. We also messaged the manager (twice) 10 days before our stay began about adding one more night to it. We never got a response. The room is comfortable and the big bathroom and shower are really nice.

Thank you for your feedback Eric. We apologize for missing your message about adding an extra night. Our reservation software allows us to communicate through email, phone call, and text, but we have no records of your request. Unfortunately, this specific unit does not offer private parking, but there are 4 other units at this complex with designated parking that are available to rent in the future.
Great location, parking was $40 per day. Some rooms included parking. One review talked about gritty floor. That was caused by tracking in sand from the street. A mat by the door would help. Six-digit number to open room door. It's a stretch to call the outside tub a pool. Suggest another chair in the room. Otherwise, very clean and one could walk to all attractions in the downtown area. We would stay there again!

Nice but no parking.
The place was nice, good location. However the floors were dirty…dirt and dead bugs - like it was just swept at. My biggest complaint is that there was no parking for that unit, had to pay 30.00 per day to park in a muddy parking lot. The ad for this place is not very forthcoming about the parking situation. We were advised in our check in email the day prior to our arrival that while the other units at this location have parking, unfortunately this unit does not and you will have to park on the street ( requires payment) or use the park and pay on the corner. This is definitely something travelers need to know prior to booking!

Thank you for the review Traci. Our listings are up to date and accurate with what comes with the unit. IT does state that there is no parking space for the unit you booked. We wish we could do something about the price for parking on the island, but that is out of our control. We do hope you had a wonderful stay otherwise and hope we get the chance to host you in the near future!

Infested with bugs
The rooms were clean but infested with bugs. The lamp was broken and the TV did not work. Check in is at 1600, check out is at 1000 and property management is not very accomodating. Rent from a person you can pick up the phone and call, not from this property management firm.

Keith, ur team answered every message you sent us before, during, and after your stay and you did not complain of any of these issues during your stay with us so we are confused as to why you are making us aware after you've already checked out in a public review. The TV did work just fine upon us checking. The lamp was not broken, it just needed to be plugged in. We even had our local pest control out to check for bugs, and there are no infestations. We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us, but we do not appreciate false claims.
The property was nice could use some freshening up. outside of building could use siding or a good paint job. overall our room was clean and close to the action on Duval Street.
