pool was more of a soaking tub, not a pool
Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the house, though we appreciate your note regarding the pool. In the historic district of Key West, many properties feature these 'cocktail-style' plunge pools, perfect for a refreshing soak and a cold drink after a day in the sun, but certainly more intimate than a full-sized swimming pool. We hope the 'soak' was still a relaxing part of your vacation!
