Sunshine, beaches, and ocean breezes at Ocean Vista (La Brisa #403E)
La Brisa beach condominiums offer a Florida charm that is relaxing, easy and captivating. Named for the ocean breezes that flow around the pretty blue and white buildings, La Brisa is an ideal spot to enjoy your Keys vacation. Located on South Roosevelt Boulevard, this secure gated community is directly across from Smathers Beach. A residential complex, La Brisa offers a neighborly and relaxing atmosphere. Join in on community held activities at the club house, partake in a match on the tennis courts and enjoy the sizable kidney shaped pool, hot tub and a spacious common area for chatting, eating and relaxing in the sun.
Upon entering Ocean Vista, you are instantly struck by the magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean and drawn out to your private balcony where you can relax and relish in your beachfront vacation. This appealing, two bedroom, two bathroom condo has been lovingly decorated. A large wall mirror is positioned to enhance the floral colors and rattan furniture and the open design of the living/dining area adds to the relaxing and airy atmosphere. The spacious kitchen is fully equipped, has ample cupboard space, double sink and a pretty dinette for two. After cooking delectable meals in your kitchen, enjoy good food and great conversation at your glass topped rattan dining table for four.
Adorned in charming floral prints and light wood, the Primary Bedroom, with a King Bed, offers peace and tranquility. There is an individual door to the private balcony, perfect to catch an early morning Sunrise, and the double windows facing out to ocean offer a breathtaking view. The Primary Bathroom has an individual vanity area with stocked linen closet. The second bedroom, delightful in its beachy motif, features two twin beds and a nice sized closet.
This unit has WIFI
La Brisa captures a feel for island life, the way the locals live it, away from the clamor of downtown. Quiet moonlit walks on the beach, a morning café con leche from a local vendor and a beach sunrise make for an unforgettable vacation. And while you are away from the hubbub, you are not far away. There is a bike trail that leads you along the Atlantic Ocean, past many Key West sights, into the downtown area. The White Street shops are just a pleasant bike ride away, as are a myriad of fabulous Key West restaurants. While savoring the distinctive essence of La Brisa, take in the ocean, the Key West weather and when you see the bright red WWII Bi-Plane fly overhead on one of its daily excursions from our small airport, ask yourself, Why Not?
There is elevator access from the ground floor to the condos above. There is one reserved, covered parking space.
**ELEVATOR SHUT DOWN NOTICE: The East building elevator will be shut down Mid May 2026 for a Elevator Modernization Project. The condo will ONLY be accessible via stairway.
Please note; the LaBrisa Condo Association requires additional registration in advance of your arrival. Details will be provided along with your RKWV rental agreement.

*The peak sargassum season in Key West is typically from July thru September, with June may also see significant amounts which can impact your stay. While the naturally occurring seaweed itself is not dangerous, it can accumulate on beaches, producing a foul odor and potentially harboring organisms that cause skin irritation.

Great location. Nice Boardwalk to walk outside the property. Unfortunately a lot of seaweed made Smathers Beach unswimmable.

Thank you for taking the time to review our property and giving us 5 stars! It was unfortunate that the beaches had so much seaweed during your stay. It comes and goes so it's very unpredictable. We hope to see you again!
Loved getting up and seeing the ocean while I drank my coffee. Grateful for shade for our car in summer heat.

Overall great stay! Clean and comfortable with beautiful view and nice pool. Quiet at night and relaxing!
One improvement would be hotel soap bars for the showers. Also, the deadbolt and windows could use maintenance.
Would love to be there when Roosevelt Street walkway construction out front is done and the pool hot tub is working!
This was a nice place but the carpet was very disgusting. I took it upon myself to cover a very large dirty spot with a throw rug. We loved our stay there and we’re pleased with everything but the carpet.

Thank you for your Five Star review of Ocean Vista at La Brisa. We greatly appreciate your feedback and immediately rectified that situation. We hope to welcome you back for another lovely stay!
The property is nice but it could really use some updates. The check in process was difficult. We didn't rent a car and had to go to the office for keys and codes, then pay for another Uber to get to the office. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed staying in the unit, not the first time there. The only negative thing - our gate key didn’t work, we had to use car gate to get in and out. We asked for the second gate clicker, few times, were promised, but never got. Other than that, we enjoyed staying at LaBrisa a lot!

Thank you for your review and for returning to stay with us! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your time at LaBrisa. We apologize for the issue with the gate key. The management informed us that there was a problem with the gate itself, not the keys, and they had promised a key replacement. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back again soon!

Reviewer Comments:
The condo, pool, parking were all really great. It's a gated community across from Smathers Beach. I intentionally booked it across from this beach so we could go to the beach easily. Wish I had known that the beach has rotting seaweed on it all summer/every summer and that it stinks so bad that you can't even enjoy your balcony. In all fairness, in the description, the very last paragraph there is a disclosure about the seaweed. But of course you get swept away with pictures, amenities, price and dates available and I didn't see it until it was too late.

Thank you for your review and feedback. As you noted, we do try to be as forthcoming and transparent as possible about the sea grass odor along the beaches on that side of the island during summer. We are glad you enjoyed the condo and the pool and hope to welcome you back during Winter or Spring!
We stayed in the condo a little less than 2 weeks after Hurricane Ian. Although Key West was not directly hit, there was a lot of rain and some flooding. The property was cleaned up nicely and even the roads were very clean. When we entered the condo we were concerned as there was dirty linens on the floor by the washer and dryer and the bed did not have any linens. Mind you we arrived at about 4:30pm to pick up the keys so we were not early. I contacted the rental company who contacted the maintenance guy Kyle. Kyle followed up quickly and brought us clean linens and towels and took the other items out. The rental company was very apologetic and Kyle was very helpful. Other than that the condo was clean and very well equipped. Location is GREAT and although the interior is dated everything works perfectly. I would definitely stay here again. The condo complex is gated and has codes to enter the elevator area x so you are very safe. Easy walk across the street to Smathers beach and convenient to Starbucks and grocery stores. We had a great time! Thank you for letting us stay
Perfect location, not too close and not too far away from the touristy areas.

Thank you for your Five Star review of Ocean Vista at La Brisa. We are so glad that you had a great time and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
This rental was wonderful! My only slight low mark was because I didn’t see a washer/dryer on the listing but there is one in the unit. They also don’t show a photo of the amazing pool and tennis/pickle ball court! Honestly this rental was great- the rental company was wonderful to work with. Easy to contact and communicate with. Again my other 4 vs 5 star was because we needed to taxi downtown to get the keys- which I do understand- just added a little excitement. Check out was simple tho. The rental company recommended renting a golf cart for our stay and that was a great tip since we had younger kids with us. You get covered parking spot with this rental- so a car, cart, or bikes are needed since town is 2 miles away to most things. Smathers beach at access 8/9 is the best! Warm ocean and clean beach. Easy walk from the rental. Would HIGHLY recommend this unit to anyone visiting key west who wants quiet, beach, pool, safe and family friendly. Thanks for a great memorable trip!
Our family really enjoyed the stay. The condo was everything we expected and more. The beach, the view, the location, the pool - it was all amazing. Plenty of room for a family of four. We loved Key West!
Property was as listed, nice condo, nice property & surroundings, nice neighbors, nice pool. All the rental agents were very nice & helpful.
After a long day of travel getting our key was difficult for us. Could not find the office to get the key, very busy street and no place to park, explanation of parking spot at condo was not clear. We are spoiled by the Bahamas where they meet you at the boat, take you to the property and walk you thru all the details.
Missed our well behaved 4 legged friend. Wish we could bring her next year. As you can tell from our stays with you we are clean and leave no messes or damage. Love the property and condo. Hope to stay again. 19 days this last stay. Gene and Pam Allen
