My one bedroom apartment was a short two block walk from Duval Street. If you love good restaurants, art galleries, lovely shops all within your neighborhood... this is your place. Once you come into your apartment, it is a quiet oasis with a pool and lots of privacy.

This property was definitely as advertised, plus more. The location was perfect, the apartment was laid out nicely and decorated beautifully. We slept well, made small meals in the cute kitchen, spent most of the day visiting the area, and chilled out each evening either at the pool or on the couch. If we come back to Key West, we're going to request the Horse Conch for our accommodations.

This one bedroom apartment was in the perfect location to enjoy all Key West has to offer. Restaurants, shopping and nightlife are all within easy walking distance. The apartment was very clean, has all the essentials needed for cooking in or grilling. And with Fausto's Grocery around the corner it makes eating in a breeze. We especially enjoyed the pool to cool off after a day at the beach or just to read and relax. If you're interested in a peaceful retreat to unwind this is the perfect spot! It is far enough off of Duval to offer quiet solitude, but also close enough if you want to venture out for the evening. We hope to stay again soon!

This house is everything my wife and I could have asked for! Perfectly located being minutes from duval, a short bike ride to fort Zachary and a little oasis in the back yard. Staff was easy to contact and made the stay that much better. P.S. if you want a taste of Philly try out Mr Zs right down the block, the best cheesesteak you will have and rivals some of the greats in Philly!
