Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was charming, and exactly what the photos showed. The location was perfect for us, close enough to all Key West has to offer. We did rent a golf cart as some of our party is less mobile than others so the walking was tough for them, but not to much for the average person.

My family and I really enjoyed staying at "Tropical Retreat". The set up of the house was perfect for my family of 5. The pool was incredibly warm so everyone could enjoy comfortably swimming. The pool area is very private. The location cannot be beat -- close to great shopping, restaurants, bars/live music but not so close that you are bothered by rowdy people or noise. Also close to the Southernmost point and beach. The property was as expected and clean. The concierge service pre-travel would be very helpful for those new to the island. They were able to provide some new, fun ideas for my family. Thanks for a great stay, we hope to be back!

My husband and I wanted a return trip to the keys with our adult childten for our 30th anniversary. This was the perfect place! Comfortable, plenty of room for all of us, close to shopping, activities, food and drinks (The Run Bar makes the best pina colada) and ending the day with a dip in the pool was definitely a hit with our kids. Could not have asked for a better experience!

A knob turn from 5 stars

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was clean, great location, and overall a great rental. The biggest complaint was every door knob in the house was loose. How loose, it fell off on the inside on the bathroom, locking someone in. The pool housebknob fell off several times. It could definitely use some general maintenance but great stay overall, and the property manager was great.

Family getaway to the sun

House and pool were beautiful and relaxing!! Perfect location to all the fun! Walkable to restaurants and bars! We rented a golf cart about a block away from house which was also very convenient. Our stay at this house created a perfect week for the entire family. Would definitely stay again when visiting Key West.

Adorable house in a great location. The house had everything we needed for our stay in Key West. The pool was a great addition to have after a day of shopping in the Florida heat. We would definitely stay here again.
