Perfect house for a large group in Key West. Very spacious and plenty of beds to fit your entire group. The location cannot be beat. Centrally located and steps from Duval. The pool is a great place to relax after exploring Key West. Cannot recommend enough.

It was an awesome place. We enjoyed everything about it. We rented Golfcarts from paradise rentals & it was the perfect thing to do. The owner got back to us quickly when we had questions. Would definitely go back & stay here again

Great location and house for friends or family.

The house was great with plenty of room for all 14 of us on our trip! It had a wide variety of things we might need from pool towels to garbage bags to garlic powder. It was clean and organized and the host's communication was great. We had a couple questions throughout the trip and they answered very quickly and were very helpful. The house is also in a very good location we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. 100% would recommend this house to any large group of people going on vacation in Key West.

Our stay in the house was perfect for the size of our group. The check-in process was easy, the kitchen seemed to have everything needed to cook dinners, our group did not cook. Coffee was provided which was our fuel for the day. The location of the house was perfect, perhaps a minute walk off Duval street. We walked everywhere, including to Fort Zachary Tyler state park which was about a 1.5 miles from the house. The backyard with the pool was our sanctuary for the hot afternoons, floats were provided which made it easy to float and relax along with plenty of pool towels that were provided.We had a great time and would stay here again!
