We had a great time. The room was the perfect size for four woman and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Communication was easy before and during stay. The pool was very nice with few kids. We'll be back.
This was our second stay in the same unit, and we absolutely love the whole complex.

We felt some of the furniture could have been a bit more up-to-date, including bedding and linens. We expected the decor to be a bit fresher and that dishes, cups and glasses would be in matched sets. Having stayed in a number of other VRBO’s, this one seemed to be a bit mediocre—especially for the price we paid.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We will certainly address the linens and bedding. The owners purchased new living room and master bedroom furniture a little over 2 years ago so I am surprised about the comment regarding the furniture. It is priced competitively for the most expensive time of the year.
The hot tub was cold. It would have been nice to have a map of the property. My poor old dad had to walk all the way down the hall, then all the way back to the pool... Until we found the shortcut. Property could use some electricity for the go-karts. None in the garage and the one outside didn't work. It was a nice place don't get me wrong, but for the price it had hiccups.
We picked this resort because of the ease of access to beach & pool. Easy to uber to downtown, enjoyed all the nightlife without the noise. Room has a fantastic view.

The description showed two king beds but one room had twin beds. Reading further down in the text description it even says 2 Kings and 0 twin beds but finally way down buried in a THIRD paragraph it does mention the twins could be put together to make a king “upon request”. I feel this was not evident and very misleading for the price of the unit. Also, VRBO has commercials with Lou Saban. I felt this property has more rules than Lou Sabans rule book.
Loved our stay! Would like the ceiling fan fixed in 1st bedroom. (Now only on low, no chain, to increase it, so was warm)Fix small shower head in 1st bathroom.Explain more clearly the garage situation.
The place is very clean and roomy for our family of five. We loved the porch and the nice size kitchen for prepping lunch and dinner. We had everything we needed! We would stay here again.

Thank you for your kind review. We appreciate you as guests.
The condo was everything we were looking for while we stayed in Key West. Great located with walking distance to Smathers Beach. The patio had a great view of the Sunset. Would stay again.
Beautiful property and grounds … we were visiting Key West for a weekend of music at the Green Parrot and Lobster Fest! This properly provided the perfect balance .. tranquility during the day .. easy Uber / golf cart ride to the party and night life in town!

This is my second time at this condo, and I will definitely stay here if I go back to Key West. Great for girls getaway or family trip.
We enjoyed coming back to condo and relaxing, making dinner, and swimming, and grandma stayed back on evenings when we went back to town for dinner or for an evening in town! Only complaint was the construction noise and blocked views.

This condo was beautiful. It had everything you would need in an apartment.
We loved everything about the condo. It had everything we needed. Helpful tips, the condo does have a washer and dryer and beach towels. These were not listed in the original listing. The views from the balcony are amazing. If we ever come to Key west we would stay there again.
We came all the way from Ohio to celebrate my daughters 21st birthday. This location was exactly what we needed. It was spacious and comfortable. My kids and I really enjoyed it.
