Place and location were great. Not wheelchair friendly as the hallways are too tight for the chair to fit and that’s where the bed and bathroom are both located. Hosts are kind and responsive.

Check in was super easy. Trying to decide who got which unit was super easy because they’re exactly the same. The hard decision was who felt like climbing the stairs to the 2nd floor unit! The location is great, close to just about everything that you’re there for. Getting an Uber was never more than a 3 minute wait for the places you didn’t want to walk to. Never needed to contact the host because everything was perfect!

When booking this; one thing we were looking for was the right location and this place was dead smack in the heart of everything important to us. We had both the 1st and 2nd floor and our friends as well as ourselves felt it was well worth it. We will definitely be returning.

We met a group of friends in Key West and it was nice to have separate spaces but one place to stay. The back yard area was nice to gather together each day. Close to Duvall and everything we needed. The place was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to grab a quick breakfast.

The house is separated into 2 unconnected units. Identical units, one upstairs and one downstairs. It was very clean, bright, and had everything we needed. There was a very nice screened porch off the downstairs bedroom, with a ceiling fan. It was in a very good area, walkable to Duval St.

The Team @ HKWVR
Our weekend stay at Poinciana Paradise was delightful! The area was quiet and felt secluded, even though it was within walking distance of anything we needed. We only used the kitchen for coffee, which we enjoyed on the back porch, by the lovely yard. The rooms were bright, there were plenty of towels and wash cloths, and the place was very clean. Check-in was easy, as were the check-out instructions. The folks at the office were so kind when using their concierge service. Very accommodating as well, allowing us to stow our luggage in the "in between" time of check-out and our departure flight. Invaluable. I would definitely rent from this company again, and would love to even stay in this same property again!

Reviewer Comments:
We rented both units (top and bottom) and had a relaxing stay. Easy access to everything we wanted to do. Area was quiet and felt safe during our stay. Parking worked for our two vehicles (small and medium SUVs) but think larger vehicles would struggle. Property management was very clear about parking and shared options for larger vehicles. We would certainly return.

This was our second stay at Poinciana Paradise. It's perfectly located in a quiet alley just 2.5 blocks from Duval. On-site parking is a bonus. The deck on the back of the house has been updated since our last stay and is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the beautiful Key West weather. The property management company is extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. We traveled with another couple, so this property could not have been more perfect for us; we each had our own separate spaces but could sit together on the deck and enjoy drinks or a meal. It's just a great place to stay!

Reviewer Comments:
We rented both flats for a couple nights with my family & parents. The location was perfect for us—far enough from Duval St. that we could sleep at night, but close enough to walk everywhere. It's on a tiny, quiet street too, so no traffic. My only complaint is that the beds were pretty soft & pillows massive, so I didn't sleep terribly well. Tip if you stay here: if you're planning on using the hot tub later, turn the heat up as soon as you get there, as it takes a while to go from where it was set @ 93 to a proper 104.

Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr 2020
Thank you for the feedback, Brad. We are very sorry you did not sleep great during your stay there. For future notice, we can add or remove mattress pads as well as provide different types of pillows for our guests. Keeping on hot tub lid on while heating the hot tub should reduce the length of time to get up to 104!

Reviewer Comments:
The house was great. It was very clean and ac worked amazingly in the heat of July in key west. Location was really good. My only complaint would be the office girl from jersey. She was not very accommodating. It was 100+ degrees and we had our dogs with us. Even though the house was cleaned and ready for new guest, she wouldn’t allow an early check in or for us to even park at the house to avoid paying fees and searching the city for a spot. She gave many excuses that were ridiculous, one including that the bug man was coming to spray, even though he never showed up that day or the entire week we were there. I understand they don’t promise an early check in to be done , we knew from the reservation desk the house was empty the night before and should’ve been ready for us early on the day we arrived.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Jul 2023
Thank you for your review of Poinciana Pair-a-dise. We're sorry we couldn't allow an early check in; there's a lot of behind-the-scenes things that happen to make sure your home is available on time at 4p, as advertised. We keep the parking spot open for our housekeepers, vendors, inspectors, etc., until 4p so they have a place to park to make sure our homes are ready to go (at 4p).
We hope you enjoyed the home and the AC and of course all that Key West has to offer.
