The house is well-located for walking downtown or going to the beach on foot. It is well-decorated and thoughtfully appointed. It has a nice and private outdoor area. The neighborhood seems friendly and safe. ##### Elizabeth B. Stayed 30 nights in Jan 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily R.

Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at the cottage twice and have just reserved it for a third visit. Aside from the numerous supplies and comforts, the cottage is art-filled and charming. We couldn’t get enough of the backyard deck and will dream of it until we return. ##### Emily R.

Feb 15, 2025 #### A Home Away From Home Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second January stay. It was nice to return to a comfortable place. The house has everything you need, and then some. The location is perfect —near the buzz of Duval Street, yet apart, and a turn in the other direction has you at the gulf waters for scenic running or walking. The house has a comfortable seating area for reading or watching tv; outside is a private deck with green space. The kitchen had all we needed. ##### Elizabeth B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily R.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gumbo Limbo exceeded expectations! The layout worked perfectly for my parents and I during our month long stay, and the front room was perfect for remote work. The house felt clean and well maintained, and all of the bed linens and towels were fresh/new (it’s the small things!). My only recommendation would be one or two more comfortable chairs for the deck, to be able to take more full advantage of the gorgeous backyard. ##### Maura F. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Marker Key West Harbor Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-The-Marker-Key-West-Harbor-Resort.h9148379.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Key West Waterfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Key-West-Waterfront.h663132.Hotel-Information) > > [Havana Cabana at Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Havana-Cabana-At-Key-West.h21241090.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [Pier House Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Pier-House-Resort-Spa.h19307.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Parrot Key Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Parrot-Key-Hotel-Villas.h24615.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Centric Key West Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Hyatt-Centric-Key-West-Resort-And-Spa.h901.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [La Concha Key West, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Key-West-La-Concha.h3853.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Flamingo Resort Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-24-North-Hotel-Key-West-Newly-Renovated.h12599231.Hotel-Information) > > [Ibis Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Ibis-Bay-Beach-Resort.h4218809.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-And-Suites-By-Marriott-Key-West.h8946.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden House](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Eden-House.h1709243.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Key Resort - A Noble House Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Ocean-Key-Resort-A-Noble-House-Resort.h16682.Hotel-Information) > > [Fitch Lodge - Key West Historic Inns](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Kimpton-Fitch-Lodge.h1397643.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information)
