Perfect for a key west getaway

Loved the location! We parked our car outside and didn't use it at all until we left. Duval Street, the beach, and cafes are all in walking distance and the neighborhood is so cute. You can also walk to a golf cart/scooter rental shop to get around the island. We also loved the privacy of the unit. Would absolutely stay here again, such great value!

Pretty much what we expected, everything you need. Things are very expensive on the island so, could you find fancier, nicer places to stay.....yes, if you want to spend even more money than you are already going to spend. You can find nicer places to stay for 500 dollars a night and top of the line places will cost you a grand (go ahead and look them up) For what we expected,5 stars.

Pay attention to extra fees

Our unit was what we expected though the add on extra pricing seems a bit high. I thought I had a great nightly rate and then the extra fees were quite a surprise!

Perfect Ket West apartment

My husband and I stayed here and it was perfect! It is on a quiet street in a residential area but only a short walk to Duval St and all the tourist locations. This was our first trip to Key West and we were on a budget. The apartment is fairly small, but bigger than an average hotel room and more than met our needs. When you walk in, there is a small but fully functional kitchen to your right with a nice array of plates/utensils/pots. To the left is a small dining area. Straight ahead is a combined living room/bedroom. The bed is tucked into a little alcove between walls so you have to crawl into it from the foot of the bed but we found it to be very comfortable. There is a futon and small TV but we did not use this much. The bathroom/shower is small but fine (might be a squeeze if you are of larger size but I’d equate it with an RV type bathroom). The WiFi is good. The outdoor area is not very scenic but still nice to sit in the morning with a cup of coffee. The surroundings and other units of the house were quiet through our stay. We only took an Uber once the first night (about $10 to Duval) but when we saw how close we were we walked everywhere the rest of our trip. Our walk to Southernmost point one morning took us maybe about a half hour. Good communication with host before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Why they chose this property

If you want to know what it feels like to really live in Key West and you like the benefits and homey feel of having your own kitchen, living area and either deck or porch this is a good fit for you. Plus my location is grand. I love being literally so close to everything and the beach.
