The best part of this place was the view! Ocean view all day, everyday! Once we figured out what building we were in, the rest was easy to access. Pool was amazing and it’s a quiet location. Unit was a bit dated, shower floors were slippery, and fan chain in front bedroom took a little work to access it but overall a great place to stay. We really just slept there but it was perfect for us. Also, being right across the street from Smather’s Beach was another bonus!

Excellent Location and Stay

The location, just a short walk from Smathers Beach, was excellent. The pool area was incredibly relaxing and added to the overall enjoyment of our stay. It was conveniently close to everything, yet far enough away to provide a peaceful, quiet atmosphere.

The view was amazing. It was nice place, but very dated and definitely not as clean as I expected. The property could use a deep cleaning.There were very nice beach chairs that we were able to use and the pool area is fantastic! Property was quiet and peaceful at night. We enjoyed the balcony and view the most. The host answered my questions very quickly and check in was easy. Overall, we had a great trip to Key West.

Best beachfront in Key West

Absolutely loved this place! Owner very good at responding! Location location location! Right on Smathers beach! We went to couple other beaches and weren’t impressed plus we saw none with properties overlooking the ocean like ours! Check in was lil tricky at first but we figured it out! Definitely will stay here again on our next Key West vacay!

Nice location, beautiful view. Enjoyed

Good location for us. 2 mile walk to Duval St. uber easily accessible. Grocery Store, sandwich shop, Mexican restaurant, and sports bar a few blocks away. Check in required us to go to different location to pick up keys. A negative for us. Also air conditioner would not cool below 78 degrees last 2 nights. Beautiful property we enjoyed

Love this place from the community pool and hot tub, to the fact that it is gated, you will feel very safe. And waking up seeing the postcard view of the beach is priceless. Unit was perfect and didn’t feel small for all 5 adults to feel comfortable. Owner is awesome and was very accommodating.

Fantastic view

Stay was great. Weather marvelous. Location and view, exceptional. Place could use some updating. Outreach to owner was less than expected. The day before checkout, I wanted clarity on key drop off and received no response. On day of checkout, I asked again and received no response. When dropping keys at designated area, doors were lockrd and no lockbox. I had to go back to the unit to leave keys, and still nothing from owners. It was disappointing.

Great location, in desperate need of an update

Property location fantastic. However pictures are very few of property and mostly of people on vacation. The property needs updating desperately, which is probably why there were so few pictures.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Dunnigan

We visited Key West in 2001 and fell in love with our 'American Carribbean Island'. We are now retired and enjoy vacationing every February. We invite you to La Brisa, our 'home away from home' to experience all that Key West has to offer. We have found that the apartment is great for the two of us and has plenty of room when our family visits. We love the luxury of dining on the terrace-the view is just spectacular!

Why they chose this property

We chose Key West as our vacation location because it within a gated community, is across the street from Smather's Beach, and yet it is situated in a quieter part of Key West. Duval Street is only 2 miles away and can be accessed by, foot, bike, electric car, public bus (stop is in front of the gate) and a wide selection of ubers and taxis. The next property in this area is the new Margueritaville Hotel. It is here that you can slip away to enjoy dinner or a drink without needing any transportation.

The island is only 2x4 miles; however it offers everything you could want in an island vacation. Everyone in our family (including grandma, our children and their children) make wonderful memories in Key West.

What makes this property unique

LaBrisa is a gated community located across the street from Smather's Beach (voted #6 of Florida's top 10 beaches). You can actually stand on the terrace and see the rest of your family enjoying the beach. There is plenty of parking within the gated community to insure a safe vacation. Everything is right there; food vendors, chair rentals, parasailing, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, jet skiing, volleyball. A 4 mile walking and biking path runs along the beach and the ocean shore. The heated saltwater pool and hot tub are right there; plenty of lounge chairs both in and out of the sun. It is open 24 hours/day. Nothing beats a swim and jacuzzi on a warm night! A newly refinished tennis court is also on site. Getting down town is easy; a bus stops right outside the gate; it is a 20 minute walk and a 10 minute bike ride.
