10/10 for this property! I stayed here with my siblings, all of our kids, and our mom for my dad’s celebration of life. The house was even better than the pictures, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk to Half Shell, Schooner’s, and Alonzo’s, all of my family’s favorite spots. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling with a large group and/or kids.

We were celebrating grandchildren high school graduations with our whole family. This house was a perfect fit for our 10 adults and 2 children. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, big kitchen, nice size pool in the shade. We enjoyed our time sitting around the living room chatting and laughing together. Convenient location to dining, entertainment, parking and points of interest. Loved the history of the house.

What a wonderful historic home in the heart of Key West. We had 14 family members stay together in this 6 bedroom home with ensuites in most of the bedrooms which gave couples needed privacy. We loved the home and enjoyed our mornings and evenings on the expansive porch. Only a few blocks from the Marina/Harbor, Duval street, Simonton Street Beach, and a market. Highly recommend this beautiful home.

This property is exactly what it looks like according to the website. It is absolutely historically gorgeous. Walking distance to almost everything. No real problems at all except for leaves in pool, however it was cleaned twice while we were there. Hope to stay at this location again.

A lovely expansive home with old world charm. Enjoy the best of old town Key West. The home is well appointed with great furnishings, space for the entire family to explore Key West's finest. The beds are comfortable, showers are lovely with plenty of hot water. Historical figures frequented the home in the past making it an even richer experieince for the history buffs in our group.
We enjoyed renting the entire estate incluidng the cottage which added space and ambiance including the outdoor shower and dual bathtubs. The meditation room was greatly appreciated.
VHKW was helpful during the trip and was readily available to fix issues.

We had a group of 10, so finding a place big enough for everyone can be a challenge. This house is perfect. Great location and walking distance to some great restaurants and most of the main attractions in Key West. The house has a well-stocked kitchen, and the pool in the back is a great place to hang out with friends. We had to call the management company a few times (once for an internet issue, and another time when there was an issue with the door lock for the apartment next to the pool). Both issues were addressed quickly. The only downfall was we had to leave when our vacation ended!

Cool old house, but…..
This house was located within walking distance to almost everything which was a plus and the kids loved the pool. Some problems we encountered were having no hot water everyday at some point and having to go out and flip the breaker (which apparently is on the same circuit as the pool) sometimes more than once a day. We had no internet for 2 days which I could overlook, but not the hot water situation. Also, letting folks with young children know that next door is a clothing optional men’s resort would be helpful.

Hi Debbie,
Thank you for the feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed the location of the property and the pool. We apologize for the trouble with the breaker. Before your stay an electrician inspected everything and said it had been fixed but that is clearly not the case, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. We will be sure to send someone out there again ASAP. We're glad that we were able to repair your internet, though, so you had it for the majority of your stay. The property is located next to a men's resort, but the landscaping, buildings, and fences should provide plenty of privacy.

Lots of sleeping options and walkable for the most point. House rules were not onerous and porches were a good place to just sit and relax.
I do wish we could have used the parking permit for our golf carts. As non residents, we had a bit of difficulty finding non permitted parking. Many times the resident permit spot right in front of the house was unoccupied.
Be aware that checkout and luggage storage caused some juggling. Checkout at 10 a.m. and flights at 2 and 4 in the afternoon and no place to put luggage without paying even more for some portage company. How about a place right inside the gate or on the front porch for an hour or two?
Plenty of plates and towels and games. The kids were in the pool morning, noon and night. Just the right size for the youngest up to 11.
All in all though this was a great place for all of our kuds and grandchildren to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary.

Our honest review from a party of nine. This house was our first real vacation since covid. We were looking forward to spending time with family and friends.
Location: great location near everything. Only a quick walk or Uber to what we wanted to do.
House: great house. The house is really nice and was well appointed. The pool in the back (while not large) is great for unwinding. The house was super clean and there were plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper to get us started.
The management company recommended keeping counter clean - which was good advice and ants are prevalent in a beach town!
Management Company/Owner: The management company was very responsive to us and we are planning to use them again. We did have an issue with a deck being built next to our and our 5 year old’s bedrooms. Unfortunately construction started at 7:30 AM and went on thorough out the entire day. After the third day of being woken up, we called the management company. They weren’t aware of the construction and really went out of their way to help us. The owner later informed the management company that the work was permitted - a point that would have made a material difference in whether we rented the property if we had known. The management company did get the owners of the house to cease working outside. For that - you should feel comfortable with VHKW. They were terrific.

Are you kidding me???
Well at first glance this "HGTV" home is lovely....however after being gone for the day at lunch and sightseeing, getting back to the home full of termites is anything but spectacular. Termites in our beds, crawling in our clothes we had put away, crawling in our children's diapers and toys, all over pillows and lamps. When attempting to contact the rental company, there is not a specific 24 hour number. Instead, you call the number and are given instructions for after hours emergencies. Apparently, this company does not value customer service as we called several times FOUR HOURS ago and left several messages. This is unacceptable and really unbelievable that someone would see this property as fit to rent. There is NO WAY that this problem just started today. The patchwork and rotted placed in the floor are throught the house. The amount of time spent to plan this trip for 10 adults and 3 children is so disappointing. My aunt put this trip together as a final farewell to her husband she lost last year. The two of them traveled to Key West for over twenty years and loved it so much and had so many wonderful memories that she wanted to share with us.

We are really sorry this guest's stay was interrupted by termites swarms. Termites are everywhere in Key West and unfortunately it can not be predicted when they will come out swarming. Even though it is unpleasant to have flying bugs around - they are absolutely harmless. The guest called late at night on Saturday and their call was returned on Sunday morning. They were relocated the same day as termites normally swarm for a couple of days. The house was treated for termites afterwards. In 2015 the home received a major make over - floors were refinished, decks repaired and painted, interior painted, all mattresses and bedding replaced, new furniture and more. We hope our future guests enjoy this classic home!
We had 9 family members staying for a week, aged 18-80. There was plenty of room to spread out and the location was convenient. The house has all the characteristics you'd expect in a 100 year old historic house. Very charming, but a few little quirks.
Due to Covid, we ate in for each meal and did a lot of cooking. The kitchen was pretty well stocked (except we could have used more silverware, there was just enough to go around for each meal).
As expected with an older house, some of the doors did not close properly or completely. The rear cottage could not be locked from the outside when we arrived, but maintenance came that same evening to install a new lock and also to adjust an exterior door on the main house.
The upstairs hall bathroom's shower door doesn't close fully so the water is leaking out onto the floor when you take a shower ( and running down the interior wall to the bathroom below). So it could use some maintenance.
The front porch is a great place to hang out for some quiet time with a book and have your morning coffee. Plus, to start happy hour in the evening. The back patio area was also a favorite hangout spot with a dining room table, outdoor TV and the pool. The house was well stocked with both pool towels and bath towels, plus there's a washer and dryer available there.
The rental came with a parking pass to the local garage, although we were able to find street parking very close by each day, so we never had to use it.
We would definitely stay here again and recommend this property! It's perfect for a large group of people.
And Bella, our contact for the property was also great, very accessible and responsive to all our questions and needs! Thanks Bella!

Loved it !!!!
We had 5 couples stay here together and we all loved it. Great location. On a side note, please don't take this as a slam, because the house was "AWESOME", but a few things need fixing. Probably take a day and maybe $500.00 to fix.
One of the ironing boards is broken. Won't stand up.
The bedside lamp in the Anne's room doesn't work. The switch doesn't work. We had to screw and unscrew the light bulb.
One of the exterior shutters flaps in the wind at night. It's on the upstairs bedroom on the NW corner of the house. It needs an eye hook to fix it.
The upstairs hall bath need a lot of TLC - door know is broken, the shower doors don't meet so water pours out on the floor, the toilet seat isn't fastened to the toilet so it slides around when you sit on it. There is no vent to take the heat and moisture out so it gets terribly hot and humid after a shower.
A couple of outlet covers are missing in the pool cottage.
There's a floor register missing in the downstairs hall bath. We almost lost an iphone down the vent when one of the girls dropped her phone.
The WiFi is confusing, the directions at the house are not correct. We called the number for help and they gave us the correct user ID and password.
I know that this might sound picky, but if no one says anything, it doesn't get fixed.
Again, over all, we loved the this house and would stay there again.
