Reviewer Comments:
This is a great vacation rental so long as you have managed expectations. The outdoor spaces are amazing. Pool area is large for Key West. Covered areas with fans on both levels. Great outdoor shower. And the dock is great for sunsets. We enjoyed our 3 month stay very much. Management Company is GREAT and will fix any problems. However, there are some downsides. It is very far from Old Town Key West. You can walk, but it is quite a ways and not a very pleasant walk. This area of Key West (New Town) is not really where you would want to be if you want to walk around in Historic Key West. We drove in for our daily walks and parked. It is right next to an affordable housing project, but we had no negative interactions with anyone from that project. And everyone we met in the other houses in the house's gated development were really, really nice! The property is not in great condition. We had to have broken furniture removed, and a thistle carpet that reeked of cat urine. But, the excellent management company resolved these issues. TV needs replacing -- picture fading. No closet in master bedroom (locked by owner) -- armoire and hanging racks instead. Closets in other bedrooms VERY small. In fact, other bedrooms VERY small. Closet downstairs locked by owner, and owner's property littered all over outside of property (on sides and falling out of collapsed and broken plastic storage box). A lot of deferred maintenance needed on property. Loose deck boards, faded paint, old appliances, etc. Termites in walls. they would leave "spice" -- droppings, and on a swarm night they came out of the walls into the living space (probably 50 or so). Property must be tented and treated. But this is 100% common in Key West. Don't freak out (like we initially did). We have high standards and the inside of the property did not live up to them, but yet the outside spaces and the excellent management company make this a five-star rental in our book.
