Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed having the pool — it’s one of our favorite features as well. The walkable location really does make it easy to experience all the best of Key West, and we’re happy you were able to take advantage of that. We’d love to host you again at The Caroline Suite anytime.
This was an absolutely beautiful suite the perfect distance from the airport and Duval street. The suite was cozy, cool, clean, and quiet. There’s even a sharedPool to relax in as well as parking for a car or golf cart. Not to mention there’s a pretty fantastic restaurant 700ft away with live music every night. The hosts were super responsive and attentive. 10/10 would stay again and will recommend this to my friends and family.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Caroline Suite and found it comfortable, quiet, and well located — close to both the airport and Duval Street, yet still a relaxing retreat. It’s great that you were able to take advantage of the pool and convenient parking as well.
We’re also glad our team’s communication made a positive impression, and we truly appreciate your recommendation to friends and family — that means a lot to us.
We’d love to welcome you back to Bayview House anytime!
Nice place! Very clean! Only issue was there are no mirrors except the bathroom mirror which is tough when several people are attempting to get ready (hair, make-up, fit check, etc.) Overall very nice!

Thank you for staying at The Caroline Suite! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cleanliness of the property and had an overall positive experience.
We also appreciate the helpful feedback regarding mirrors. We understand how additional mirror space can make getting ready much easier for groups traveling together, and we’ll certainly keep your suggestion in mind as we continue making improvements for future guests.
Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to host you again on a future visit to Key West!
We had a wonderful stay in Key West! Karen pulled out all the stops to make sure that we enjoyed our time at Bayview House. We enjoyed have a pool available and sat on the porch in the sunshine every morning. The property is very convenient to downtown Key West, definitely walkable if you are a walker, but still great to have parking. Really appreciated our visit!

Thank you for your wonderful review and for choosing The Caroline Suite for your Key West stay!
We’re so glad to hear you had such an enjoyable visit — providing attentive, thoughtful service is something we truly value. It’s great to know you were able to take advantage of the pool and enjoy relaxing mornings on the porch — those are some of the best moments the property has to offer.
We also appreciate you highlighting the location. Being close to downtown while still offering the convenience of parking gives guests flexibility to explore however they prefer — whether on foot or by car.
Thank you again for your kind words. We’d love to welcome you back to Bayview House for another memorable stay in Key West!
Convenient location away from the craziness of Duval St. as long as you have a way to get around like rental bikes.Apartment could use some hooks around to hang towels & clothes. Also a box of Kleenex would make a nice add. There is a kcup coffe maker and someone had left coffee grounds & beans but there was no grinder or reusable kcup grounds holder so could not make coffee.Host was very responsive to any questions we had. We had a great 4 days in Key West.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for choosing The Caroline Suite for your Key West stay. We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with us and that our team was responsive throughout your visit.
We also really appreciate your helpful suggestions. Adding more hooks for towels and clothing is a great idea. The note about tissues is well taken as well — small touches like that can make a meaningful difference.
Regarding the coffee setup, we apologize for the confusion. The suite is equipped with a K-cup machine, and we’ll make sure it’s correctly stocked so guests have everything they need to enjoy it without any guesswork.
Thanks again for your feedback — it helps us continue improving — and we’re so happy to hear you had a great four days in Key West. We’d love to host you again on your next visit!
Host was fine & responsive. The location was great close enough to walk to many beaches/ parks & duvall street. The apt was clean and met our needs. However it is missing many amenities that just seem to be common sense, such as there’s absolutely nowhere to hang up any clothing. There were no kitchen towels in the kitchen to wash dishes with, there were no coffee table or dining room table to be able to sit and eat any food at there’s nowhere to lay out suitcases, it is really very sparse and missing a lot of details that would just be expected.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and cleanliness of The Caroline Suite, and that our team was responsive during your stay.
We do want to clarify for future guests that there is a wardrobe in the bedroom with hanging space for clothing. That said, we understand that additional storage or more obvious placement can make a stay more comfortable, and we’ll take a closer look at how this is presented.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the kitchen setup and furnishings. While the suite is designed to be simple and efficient for shorter stays, your feedback is well taken, and we’re reviewing additions to enhance the overall experience.
Thank you again for your input, It helps us continue to improve.
It was small but comfortable and a great shower. I really enjoyed the private pool.

Great communication with owner with prompt resolution of minor issue when our key card temporarily stopped working. Accommodations were perfect for our family of 4 and boys are already asking when they can go back.
This was our first stay in Key West. The location was the perfect distance to get to entertainment, the beach and other sites. The pool was great! We often started and ended our days there. We are excited to see the improvements Jenna has in store.
Great location, very cozy house with lots of character. Great shower and nice kitchen since we prefer to not eat out every meal while visiting. Gorgeous foliage around the pool area with a couple of resident iguanas. No need for a rental car if you rent bicycles. Everything is within an easy bike ride so you won't have to worry with parking a car which can be a pain down on Duval.

So happy you enjoyed your stay! We'd love to host you again! - Jenna Blackwell | BHHS Keys Real Estate & Vacation Rentals
Dirty outdoor area. Trash and cleaning supplies on the porch. Cleaners came made all of the furniture wet and unusable and left a ladder on the porch. No internet, tv network went out, couldn’t reach the host. No notebook or folder in the unit. Overall Bad!

Reply to vrbo reviewThank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience — this is not the standard we aim to provide.
We take your concerns seriously, particularly regarding the outdoor cleanliness, items left on the porch, and the disruption caused by the cleaning team. That should not have happened, and we are addressing this directly with our team to ensure it does not recur. We’re also reviewing our turnover and final inspection procedures to prevent anything being left behind or guest spaces being impacted.
We apologize as well for the internet and TV outage during your stay. While service interruptions can occasionally occur, we understand how frustrating that is — especially when paired with difficulty reaching us. We are currently reviewing our communication protocols to ensure guests can always reach us quickly when issues arise.
We regret that your stay fell short and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Your feedback is helping us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a much better experience in the future....
The host was super responsive to a few issues we had and the location of this rental is super ideal.I am rating this rental 3 out 5 stars since most of the furniture pictured was not actually in the rental when we arrived. We purposely chose this rental because they pictured a table (place to eat) and a large dresser (to store clothes). We ended up having to eat outside and we were not able to properly store our clothes for the week. The pool patio and pool itself was not cleaned and had debris everywhere. I hope the host fixes this!Thank you for the stay. We enjoyed every minute of it.
The property was great! Exactly what we needed! There was a small hiccup when we first got there, it appeared that the property hadn’t been cleaned. We contacted Jenna and immediately she had housekeeping there to take care of it! The property was perfect for us celebrating our 1 year anniversary in the keys. It’s far enough away from the busy streets that you could get rest, but not so far that you could walk or get a quick Uber ride for a few bucks! And it’s close to a local spot that was great to stop in for a few drinks and excellent food, Mac’s Place! Would def stay here again and the host deserves an A++! Always quick to respond and very helpful! Can’t say enough good things about it!
We loved the intimate setting. And how close the rental was to everything yet it felt VERY private and secluded. The owners were extremely accommodating whenever we had any questions or concerns. The owner's were extremely helpful and generous when we needed items that we had forgotten. Great hospitality is hard to find these days, but we felt right at home. The overall cleanliness was great. For an older, historic property, we were impressed by the modern improvements and accomodations. For the price, we feel like we scored big! Traveling during the peak season we found this, rental, to not only be affordable but impressive. This rental exceeded our expectations....and, honestly, the pics don't do this rental justice. As a Marriott employee of 10 years this rental was a perfect 10 out of 10... All across the board.

Home was up average B, on a busy road. Pool area could use more furniture and cleaner pool water. Messaging with the host was nonexistent. Once we got in for messages have been left with her and no response at all. I would like a better timeline on when we’ll get our deposit back of $1000, we’ve been out for two weeks and still have not had the money returned and we left everything exactly the way they asked us to leave it and all the dishes were done.
