my 9 friends and I loved staying at this property over the weekend. The location couldn't be better with a very short walk to Duval street and a central location on the island. The home fit us easily with large beds and spacious rooms. The check in process was easy and the host was very kind, responsive and easy to communicate with. All around great property I would recommend to anyone.
Amazing house and location! The hot tub and pool were heated to the perfect temps. We had an absolute blast! If anything, the pictures do not do the house and yard justice. There are lots of indoor/outdoor places to relax and gather and the bedrooms/bathrooms are very spacious.
It is a beautiful compound. Clean and spacious. The center grounds with the pool are lovely! Nicely situated near Duvall St. I have recommended this property to friends.
Attended a wedding in Marathon and decided to explore Key West with some old friends for the weekend! House was close to everything but far enough away to still be quiet and safe!
Our host was the best, we rent thru VRBO all the time and we could not have asked for a better experience. It was like arriving at our own key west vaca home. The location is perfect, the house was immaculate and price is reasonable. We will stay here every time we go down south! Thank you for everything,
Beautiful, Roomy, and Clean. Loved the communication that was given! They go above and beyond to help in any way possible. I truly appreciate the hospitality that was given by everyone!
