The Villa is a newer built poolside home, situated steps away from famous Duval Street, the historic seaport and everything that old town Key West has to offer, but its privacy fencing and quieter location offer a secure, relaxing retreat.
The Villa’s soothing color palate welcomes you with warm sand tones and relaxing hues of blue. The design is the perfect balance of modern furnishings, some leather and wood. The beautiful earth tone travertine marble floors are laid throughout the house. The open concept living, dining and cooking offers a kitchen with sleek wooden cabinets, granite counter tops, top-of-the-line appliances and fixtures.
All of the bedrooms are ensuite; three of the bedrooms have king size beds and one that has two twins, which can easily be made into a fourth king. The bathrooms in the king size bedrooms have large walk-in, tiled showers and the bedroom with the twin beds offers a bathtub with in-tub tiled shower. Step through the living area sliding glass door and onto the deck where your inviting custom designed L shape pool with jacuzzi jets awaits. The decking and pool curve around the villa where you will find a covered deck with a long granite bar-top with seating which also provides the perfect place for arranging a poolside buffet brunch, lunch or dinner. French doors lead back into the open concept living space.
The Villa Bedding Summary: 3 King, 2 Twin size beds
Parking: One off-street parking space

Everything was great! A bit confusing to find our way in, but after that was cleared up, we had a great time!

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you had a wonderful time once you settled in. We appreciate the feedback about the check-in process. We’d love to host you again!
Had a wonderful family vacation. Beautiful property. Private back yard. Perfect place to stay. Walking distance to Duval. The breakfast place Sarabeth is right across the street. Highly recommend stopping there. The communication from the rental company was fantastic.

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are thrilled your family enjoyed the private backyard and our prime location. Sarabeth’s is definitely a local favorite, we’re glad you got to enjoy a world-class breakfast just steps away! It was a pleasure communicating with you, and we’d love to host your family again for your next Key West getaway!
We had 4 couples and it was perfect! Everything was clean and well functioning and thoughtfully stocked. Overall spice was more roomy than we expected. The pool was warm and clean we could not find fault with anything!!

Hi Melissa, thank you so much for the glowing review! We were so happy to host your group, and it’s wonderful to hear that the house provided plenty of room for all four couples to relax comfortably.
We take a lot of pride in keeping the kitchen and home thoughtfully stocked, so we're thrilled to hear you felt right at home! We'll also be sure to pass along your kind words to our maintenance team, who work hard to keep the pool warm and sparkling.
We would love to welcome your group back for another getaway in the future!
We had a lovely stay here, location was everything! The beds were comfy although one of the rooms was a bit extra toasty. Loved that each room had their own bathroom. Plenty of towels for our group. The WiFi wasn’t great, kept going in and out for people in our group who had to WFH. There were quite a few bugs but not sure if there’s any way to avoid that considering it’s Florida. Otherwise we felt very welcome in the house and had such a good time here.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Samantha! We appreciate your feedback and are happy to hear you felt welcome and had a great time. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!
This is a great house, with a perfect location. Blocks from Duval, and centered perfectly in the middle of the strip. While this is not a large house, each bedroom having their own bathroom is a huge benefit and very convenient for each person in our group. Plenty of hot water to accommodate everyone in the house, although water pressure is a little light - not a major concern.One item that was disappointing - the pool area does not get sun, or only enough sun for part of one chair. This looks to be partially due to the trees around the pool. This was disappointing and had us looking elsewhere for sun. We ended up taking an uber to Smathers Beach which was a 10 minute ride away. One other minor piece - there is very little pantry space to keep dry food, a small cabinet would be a great addition,

Thank you for the detailed feedback! We are so glad the en-suite bathrooms and central location made for a convenient stay for your group, and we’re happy the hot water kept everyone comfortable!
We appreciate your honesty regarding the pool shade; being tucked into a lush, private tropical setting does mean the sun can be a bit selective. We love the suggestion for more pantry space. We’re glad you found Smathers Beach nearby for those sun-soaked afternoons and would love to host you again!
Thank you for your Five Star review of the Villa at the Watson House. We are delighted that the you enjoyed the house and its great Old Town Key West location. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Thank you for your Five Star review of Louisa House Key West. We are so glad that you had everything that you needed for your stay and enjoyed the house and its great location. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
This property is in a great location within walking distance of all of the Key West attractions while also in a quiet neighborhood. We had five adults and found that there was plenty of room to spread out. The bedrooms are all a good size and each one has its own bathroom. The small swimming pool is an added bonus.

Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the location, spaciousness, and the added bonus of the pool. We hope to welcome you back soon!
This house was the perfect location for being able to walk to the places we wanted to visit. Short walk to/from local restaurants and bars. Smaller rooms, but that didn't matter.

Great location. Close to Duval St. and all that there is to do. 4 bedrooms with 4 separate bathrooms. Pool is a little small. Inside of house was very clean. Outside kept getting dirty due to the changing of the season's.

Thank you for your review.
We hope you enjoyed your stay with us and
will come back and visit again soon.
Check in process was smooth and easy, house was very well equipped and the location was amazing. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms is a big deal for big groups, the only thing to really take note is the parking is tight to get off the street, much easier with smaller vehicles. Overall, awesome place to stay.

Thank you for the 5 star review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Overall parking is tight here in Key West, but it's a big plus to have off street parking at the rental. We hope to see you again!
The villa was beautiful. It had everything that we needed to make our trip perfect! It was a few minute walk to Duval Street. It is perfectly nestled in the back and it feels like a private getaway. The pool is so relaxing. I would definitely stay there again.
Enjoyed our stay. House was spacious and very well located. Only constructive criticism would be having the place better-stocked with essentials like trash bags, dish soap/sponges, shampoo/body wash, etc.
Great 4 bed 4 ba Key West Rental. Central to everything. Well stocked and well appointed. Tjere was even a small fridge/nightstand in one bedroom. Living space is small for a large group but we did not spend a lot of time in doors. Beds are definitely firm. Had everything we needed. Pool was great on a hot afternoon! Would stay again!
Great property for multiple couples. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and the kitchen has a (small) shared common area. The pool is small but great for a dip in the heated water and someone cleaned it every day. Washer and dryer were great to have but temperamental to operate. Clean space but some amenities are missing (no extra trash bags). A good spot that is walking distance to a lot of spots on the island, barely had to take the car out. Easy to get to everything without the noise of Duval.

Thank you for your Five Star review of The Villa at the Watson House. We are so glad that you enjoyed the house and its location. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The location is stellar !
But …
The bedrooms were fine, but uber cramped …
The bathrooms all too small
The fridge was broken upon arrival - some of our food had to be thrown away and no ice . And no bottles of water to welcome us…
The common area is way too small .
The pictures showed a table outside , and there was no table .
There were limited dishes - 3 plates so we had to go buy plates -
Additionally, no one ever mentioned street parking cost one by so we got a ticket .there were no signs near where we parked the second car
Although we made the best of it… the fridge caused a great deal Of unwanted stress! We brought two coolers packed w food!…

Thank you for your feedback. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, and we’re sorry to hear that the unit did not meet all of your expectations. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the fridge and the inconvenience it caused during your stay. We acted quickly to resolve this, and a new fridge was delivered right away.
Regarding the parking, we did inform you upon arrival that there is one assigned parking spot for the unit, and for a second vehicle, guests are responsible for finding street parking. We will make sure this information is clearer in our communications moving forward to prevent any confusion.
We also appreciate your comments about the space and will work on improving the kitchen setup for a more comfortable stay. We're glad that, despite these challenges, you made the best of your time here, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a more seamless experience for you in the future.

Just “meh”
The villa is in a great location but is not a great place to stay. We were a family of 6 and this house felt very crowded. Nowhere to really hang out together. The kitchen/living area are tiny. The house is in poor condition with broken and lifting floor tiles, black mold blowing from the bathroom vents,broekn windows, refrigerator with missing shelves, etc. There is absolutely no surface area in the bathrooms-nowhere to put anything! The rooms are tiny and you had to crawl around the beds to get in. The pool was very nice and we enjoyed that, but overall, not great, or even good. Do not recommend.

Feedback is important to us. Although the size of the villa may be overall on the smaller side, 1261 square feet, all four bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and a decent size pool and outdoor area. Onsite parking is another plus with this property. Providing a clean and well maintained property is our priority.
