We loved this sweet cozy homebase for our 10 day stay in Key West. The laundry is just around the corner, and a grocery store the next corner. We loved the feel of staying in Old Town. The house is clean and tidy, and was well supplied. The hostess is attentive and communicative. Great experience!!

This is the perfect place for a 3 day trip to Key West. Very cute in a quiet neighborhood. You do have to walk a little to Duval Street which was fine for us.

The location, size and layout were excellent. For the cost, however, it was lacking in cleanliness, and shabby, bleach-stained bath towels, and as others have mentioned, the lack of shampoo, soap, a dish towel and dish drainer, are unacceptable.

Quaint, convenient & clean

This property is centrally located and we easily biked around to everything. There were restaurants and a gas station in walking distance. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and neighbors were friendly and quiet. The bed was so comfortable, and the adjustable head of bed was so nice! I feel the price may have been on the high side due to Spring Break. I’d like to stay again and hope the price may be more reasonable in other times of the year.Overall, we loved the place and the location.

Cute spot for a Key West weekend

Key West Retreat provided a cute home base for our weekend on the island. The location is convenient if you want to walk/bike around Key West. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, we felt right at home. Rooms were pleasant and the porch was a nice extra touch.

We always love our stay at this location. Marilyn is a wonderful host and treats her return visitors very well. The place is located just a few blocks from anything you want to do in Key West, very cute and comfortable place, and meets our needs perfectly.

Quiet location

Quiet, small apartment that is close to everything if using a bike. The bed was comfortable, apartment clean, and met all our needs. The only downside was not much space to park 2 bikes. We struggled to find space each night to lock up our bikes. The host was very responsive and easy to reach for any needs or questions. Would definitely stay here again.

Good value for a short trip (3 nights)

We needed a reasonably priced spot to sleep while visiting Key West for the first time and this fit the bill. We drove in from Miami, so had a car to manage - parking is an issue! There are few open spots for visitors, so plan accordingly. Great coffee spot right around the corner and a few walking distance eating places if not staying near the Duval Street center at dinner time. Would benefit from a little more local information in the space (Notebook of menus, maps, top tourist spots, checkout information, etc) to help orient the first time visitor, but the host was very responsive when we had a problem during the stay. Good trip!

This was our 3rd stay at this location. We adore the amenities, proximity to attractions, beach, and nearby Cuban coffee. The property owner is very committed to her guests feeling welcome and makes you feel she’s happy you’re staying in her home. It’s perfect for a couple looking to get away and relax.

Great location and nice place to stay

We spent a week in Key West at this nice little main floor one bedroom suite. The location is great, and walkable to anywhere you might want to go in Key West. Parking was pretty easy...always found a spot within a 1/2 block. The area is safe and quiet, but really easy to get to all the great sites and the beaches. If you are considering a trip to Key West, Marilyn's place is a great place to stay. Thank you, Marilyn for having us!

Great Place - Great Location

In town for Fantasy Fest. The location was a convenient scooter ride to Duval St. Super easy to navigate around town. The residence had everything we needed - and worked well for us. The property manager was easy to reach and work with to help with a couple minor requests. We would definitely stay there again.
