We stick to a Saturday check in during the in season months (Jan-April)
Greetings from Paradise, where the temperature is 82 degrees, water temperature 80, and the wind SE at 10, just enough breeze to blow sand in my margarita.
'Margarita Villas' are located in historic Old Town in a beautiful, very private gated compound that has won awards as the best development in Florida. (And yes it does have a blender).
It’s just off Duval Street, with its bustling shops and nightlife; yet quiet and private. Fort Zachary Taylor on the south side of the property has one of our most picturesque beaches located among the tall whispering pines of the uplands; the view of the reef and the turquoise waters is magnificent.
The heated pool is conveniently located nearby so you are never far from a refreshing dip or just 'conching out' in the sun.
There are two bedrooms and one baths; the master bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, the other, two twins. French doors in the living room open onto the garden deck for outdoor dining or to catch the tropical breezes. Outdoor porch furniture on the deck.
The kitchen is completely equipped (including the mandatory BLENDER).
Fully air-conditioned, all rooms have tropical ceiling fans and all linens are provided. There is off street parking for one car.

This property was everything our family needed for a lovely stay in Key West. Wonderful location and the hosts were super nice with great communication and very responsive in bringing a few more towels that were needed. They even brought us a welcome pie! Thanks again for a great stay!
We loved Casa Tropico. The property was awesome. We loved the outdoor patio for morning tea. The location is perfect for walkability to Duval Street, Truman Little White House, Mallory Square, Southernmost buoy, Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, Blue Heaven, and much more. The host family is great!
Never want to stay in a hotel again. Our week in Key West Couldn't Have Been Better. Clean and Relaxing with a Short Walk to Duval St and All of The Nightlife.
Property owner Mike was very accommodating
Was nice to meet his father who is a local with many years of contributing to the community. Our stay was very enjoyable in a nice safe gated community.Look forward to returning again

This VRBO is ideal for a family or girls’ getaway. The property makes you feel at home, we enjoyed starting our mornings with coffee on the rear deck. The home/area is quiet and in walking distance to museums, Duval St., the pier, and the state park. WIFI was reliable, water pressure was strong – loved the convenience of network TV when we wanted to stay in. Chairs, sofas, and beds were comfortable and in good condition. Thoughtful of the owner to provide little puzzles for kids, and we loved the pool. Mike's dad went above and beyond on our last day - Thank you! A

This is a great place
We stayed at this condo for 7 nights the condo was clean and well maintained. The beds are comfy and there was plenty of towels The location is great with a pool just a short walk away out the back gate, The condo is about middle of and 2 blocks from Duval st. where you will find bars, restaurants and shopping, etc. and close to beaches and state park . Communication with the family owned renters was easy and all my questions were answered, The owner called to see if we need anything the day before arrival which was great. I would highly recommend this rental and would think that all this families rentals are as nice. We will be back soon to stay again.
This place is within walking distance to all the activities. There is a nice pool onsite, secure gated parking for one vehicle, washer/dryer and a patio. We saw chickens with baby chicks and iguanas on our walks. We took our bikes out to Fort Zachary state park to visit the fort and swim. Walked out every night to a different restaurant. We fixed breakfast at the condo. We also kept cold drinks and sandwich fixings so we could splurge a little more for dinners. Location is everything for this place!!!
Owner Mike was very easy to work with and was nice enough to let us check in a little early. This rental is in perfect location to enjoy Duval Street and surrounding areas. Place could use some updates and modernization. Mattresses were ok. Pictures online are a little deceptive as they show upstairs and downstairs units even though you are only renting one of them. Laundry facility is outside on back deck which was strange. We could walk to everywhere we wanted to go or find an Uber easily. Quiet neighborhood and nice pool close by.
This place was perfect for our family of four! It was close to Duval St. It was nice a quiet. We enjoyed the pool especially since the weather was extremely hot. The only downfall was that the light in the kitchen went out and we were short on toilet paper and neither the bulb nor the toilet paper were replaced. I can say the contact person always replied to my messages. The person stated they have been having issues the housekeeper. Least to was non of that ruined our vacation. Have a washer and dryer was very convenient. Overall good place for our family of 4.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Oct, 2023
Thank you for your review and calling to our attention to where we need improvement .
The light bulb was replaced within six hours but we think the problem is that the fan is controlled by a switch and a pull chain on the fixture.
We have put a label on the wall switch so that won’t happen again.
We sent over additional tp and hung them in a bag on the door and can’t explain what happened to them.
The condo is a self housekeeping unit but we do provide starter supply’s of paper goods, paper towels, toilet paper, and trash bags.
typically three rolls of TP per bathroom. In the future we will supply a few extra and leave in the hall closet.
Thanks for the suggestion, it will help insure our guests receive unparalleled service and have a positive experience
Location is excellent. Close to everything. The Shipyard is well maintained and a very safe location. We loved having 2 bathrooms. The unit was immaculate and we enjoyed relaxing on our balcony. Owners offered to pick us up from the airport and we were delivered an amazing key lime pie as a housewarming gift. We will be returning next year!
We were greeted at the airport by the owner who shuttled us over and gave a quick tour of the condo. He left his business card in case we needed anything during our stay. We then enjoyed a peaceful week in paradise. The condo was perfect for two people. We had everything we needed for a week long stay. I would definitely stay here again.
Great condo
Needs some minor repairs but being so close to everything (duval st, fort Zachary beach. basically right in the middle of it all)
Owner/manager very helpful with area attractions also picked us up at airport when we arrived. He also brought us a key lime pie during our stay and asked how our vacation was going
Great place to stay
Thanks Tevis for the wonderful vacation
Condo was perfect. 2 blocks from duval street. Walking distance to everything. Condo was super clean. We loved the private back porch. Quiet clean neighborhood. Nice kitchen which was great since we love to cook. 10/10 recommend I would stay there again when we go back.
The condo was just as advertised, everything we needed was there. Also easy to walk everywhere. If we ever get back to Key West will not hesitate to stay here again!
Place was located right near Duval where everything happening. It was clean but needs some TLC - door to backyard kept getting stuck and the lighting in dining room has wires coming out. Rooms good. - beds okay - had a good time and owner was easy to contact and anawer questions.
We have a blast...this cozy stay was perfect for us and the best location!!!!! We opted for a golf cart for the week, which was great and fun...Pirate Golf Cart Rentals is just a short walk away and they were super friendly. The beds here are to die for here, best sleep we've all had!!! Would recommend!!!
Tevis called about 3 days before our arrival to see if we needed to be picked up from the airport. We were driving in so we didn't need to be picked up. Tevis gave us several ideas of things to do and see on our drive down. The day after our arrival, he stopped by to introduce himself and bring us a Key Lime pie. It was delicious!
The apartment was fantastic! We had everything we needed in the kitchen, plenty of towels in the bathroom, hangers in the closets and our own washer and dryer. The pool was nice but we only spent a couple of hours there, there were too many other things to do in Key West. We walked everywhere (we did drive to Publix for groceries).
The Hemingway Home, Coast Guard Museum, Truman Waterfront Park, Mallory Square and Duvall Street are all easily within walking distance. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Tevis! We appreciate your hospitality.
We had such great time, perfect location & very nice condo for us. Rented bikes & went everywhere exploring Key West... no need for car. Enjoyed morning coffee on the outside deck, beautiful. Really enjoyed pool time & met lots of nice people there. Our host Tevis was especially great w/ lots of Key West info & history. Will be back😃🙏. Thank you Tevis.
Owner picked us up and took us back to the airport way above and beyond what we have ever experienced with VRBO. Unit was close to Duvall and we got our exercise walking to the beach each day! Don't forget water shoes for Ft. Zachary Taylor Beach! Would definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Mike Wernicoff
My name is Michael Wernicoff. I grew up in Ocean City, NJ windsurfing the beaches and sailing the back bays. In 1977, when I was 10 years old, we loaded up our car and with our Hobie Cat sailboat in tow; we set off for our first family trip to the Florida Keys.
The warm breeze and the turquoise waters brought us back every school vacation. First, we rented a small house for a week, The next year a condo for two weeks. A few years later we bought our first home which we rented out between stays ... and Vacation Rentals in Key West was born.
After college I got a 'real job', but warm waters and balmy breezes were calling, so I set off to teach windsurfing. First, in Key West, at Smathers Beach then in the Turks and Caicos Islands, St. Lucia and Mexico. Eventually moving back to Key West. Now we have two little girls who love the emerald waters as much as we do.
When the lovely gated community in the Truman Annex was being built, we knew that it was going to be the best rental location in town and we were right! We now have a wonderful selection of vacation homes and condos to rent, so take a look.
I would love the opportunity to help create a great vacation experience for you and your family, and to share with you, the Key West that my family and I fell in love with when I was ten and continue to enjoy today.
'Your blender is waiting' Thank You Mike Michael Wernicoff
